Your character models are gorgeous. Will definitely be following your game's progress and possibly even donate at some point!

Im yet to see anything on the discord, you can join it and check it out to see yourself
I'm a mod on that discord and he's plenty active and answering questions. We may give people shit off and on for asking about updates every few hours (kinda like here), but if there is any new info, it does make it into the community.

At least specifically in the updates section of the discord where it would make the most sense. I don't want to ask and get in trouble for having to ask if anything new has been talked about every few days or so and I don't wanna have to scroll up and search for crap either.

Well they are still communicating to their subs which you are implying they aren't.

Update announcement is iffy to update regularly maybe a tracker is better but given that this is the first release it is really hard blame a dev for delays since maybe they want to polish it more or add more content etc.

from what i can see from the teasers , id say the delay is justified , thats quality renders right there .
Then please, explain me how in the world does a dev like NLT Media, manages to pull out monster quality updates almost every 2/3 weeks ? If you played Summer with Mom and Sis, Lust Epidemic or The Treasure of Nadia, you know what I'm talking about.

I don't know for others, Man, but as far as I'm concerned, I said it before and I'll say it again : Psychodelusional was a Dev who interacted with the community in the past. Since he started this new game, I didn't see him once here. Why ? Did he forget all the fans/patreons he got from here ? And now, Mr does communicate only on Discord. Well, even if I'm on discord too, I won't follow him. Come on, he forgot this site URL or what ? This is really disrespectful towards the ones who always supported him here, even if it's not financially.

I mean sure dev can come here but what more can the dev relay here that aren't posted in Patreon.

It isn't like the dev didn't communicate at all for a span of 3months like what I said they communicate in discord and last post about the game development in Patreon is feb 28.

So what more can the dev do have some weekly update about the progress?

We already had the previews some animation previews etc so last thing would be the game being release hopefully it would be this month.

Most devs are amateurs with zero work ethic and lack constancy.
Working 8 hours or more a day is something you have to get used to. Add that many devs are very young and this is their first job and monthly paycheck. If you have distractions, like when you are your own boss or work at home, things get even more complicated plus now they have money to spent.
So yeah, very few devs work like NLT Media or Evakiss, never missing a deadline and delivering content nonstop.

from what I know... NLT media has experience + a very powerful system and a team while psychodelusional is a lone wolf + less experience than NLT + not sure about the system... But above two reasons are enough for satisfying your urge to know why NLT produces 2 updates every week while others are not that good with their timings.

The last time I spoke with someone from the team - yesterday - NLT was working alone. He does all the art, story, dialogues and coding.

Two of his close friends helped him to make the launcher and setting up the web-server for the upcoming HTML5 version, available for iOS and all browser including save slots via Patreon account.

Then there are 3 to 4 people who provide suggestions or share their opinions on ideas for future updates. And not to forget, there are a few beta-tester who test each update a few days before the release.

A lot Devs have an inner-cycle of people they trust and ask them for their opinion on the story, art, etc. However, these people are not directly involved in the creation of the game.

Why NLT can release updates every 14-days and mostly clocklike is, because he stockpiles updates weeks ahead. How he is able to do it, is simple:
- 20 years of experience in graphic design (he doesn't use full-renderd images with background etc. as other devs do),
- a hell of a render machine with 10,000 cuda cores,
- good at planning and self-management,
- invested money by creating content for Lust Epidemic before the initial release,

The most important part is planning. If your initial plan is good and you do not depart form it, then there shouldn't be any delays (except for delays cause by outside factors).
