You're stats which supposedly show a drop in support for Deep, are misleading. There are approximately 200 patrons who only subscribe when an update is imminent. As soon as they have played an update, they immediately unsubscribe, so they don't have to pay for the months when no content is released. This has been the case for years and is definitely nothing new. There is a core of 1000 patrons who always subscribe no matter what. Before Chapter 2, this core was about 900. So since then core patronage has increased 10%. So I'm afraid you're just seeing what you want to see on this. There is no problem caused by this short game or any other update. The people who love this game don't have a problem with it. Sure, from time to time, some people get angry with something in the game and stop playing. But they represent a tiny minority and are offset by new patrons.
As I tried to explain, I didn't manipulate anybody. My idea for having a short novel about Anna's first time, came up during a discussion on Discord in November. A few of us were talking about the previous short novels, and it was suggested by someone else that we were overdue for another one. A couple of ideas were suggested, and my idea was Anna losing her virginity. Deep got involved and said he thought having a new short novel was a good idea. I'm guessing him an d Awake we're already thinking about it anyway. Shortly after that he announced a poll, that included options suggested during the discussion, of which mine was one. Now I couldn't have manipulated any of the patrons during the poll, even if I had wanted to. Because before the poll was started. I lost my internet connection because of a fire in my apartment building, which kept me offline through most of December. By the the time I got back online, the poll had already been concluded and my suggestion won by 1 vote. So this idea, that I somehow persuaded patrons to push my agenda, is totally false. To be quite honest, when we were talking about it on Discord. I wasn't particularly interested about Deep making another short novel, that was entirely his own impulse. Personally, I prefer the main game. Because the Anna in the main game, is the one I'm really interested in. So if I was really pushing any agenda, it definitely wouldn't be to create more short novels. But I recognise that some patrons are really interested in continuing with them from time to time, so I for one am not going to make a big deal about it. You might not like them at all, and I might be ambivalent about them, but it's not just about what you or I want, but about what everyone else wants. Because the patrons are the people who keep this game going. And making fatuous statements about them all being clueless because they have a different opinion to you, is not only unhelpful but pretty arrogant as well.
As far as my comments on this game are concerned. Everybody who knows about me, knows I am totally obsessed with this game. It's my favourite game, I am a complete fangirl. So yeah, if anyone criticises it in anyway, I am going to respond. Deep will not come onto this site to defend his game, so I do it for him. Not because he's ever asked me to, but because I want to. Because I fucking love it! This game isn't perfect, nobody is claiming that. Sometimes the Devs make mistakes and updates don't live up to expectations, but I know that they both try so hard to make this game as good as they can and nobody is more passionate about trying to get things right, than they are. And that's why I will always be on their side.
... because hair grows fast... and Andrew was a handsome boy with thick hair... I don't understand why he must look like Emily's boyfriend Brian... I remeber the first time i play CH1 I was thinking that Brian was Andrew in the car incident scene
