It's sort of understandable the hiatus on the project, due to the fact that they released other games that I honestly enjoyed.
I see many people mad due to them calling Arenus "the main project" 3 years ago (...yeah) and it's a bit shitty that there are a shit load of bugs (game-breaking even) but I honestly believe that they will pull through with fixing stuff. They are still human devs. Now somebody will cut me down with the amount of cash they make a month and that is debatable depending on more factors.
Idk man, even if some of the art for Elone is like 3 years old, it's still hot.
And yeah, for the shower pick flirt and then friendly (if you are a dude, idk if it works the same if you are a girl)
These forums and any h-game forums for that matter are highly negative anyway. Don't know if it is due to the amount of disappointments (cancelled games, buggy releases, drawn out updates etc...) or simply the nature of the crowd on these forums.
Many people forget that h-game devs are often NOT professional devs and pledging is no guarantee to getting anything that was promised (it literally says this on the front page of Patreon - read it people). These are average Joes and Janes just like you and I and will have IRL stuff that will cause delays with the development as well as genuine development struggles (some of the people here should really try developing a game themselves and see the struggles then lol!)
The few titles made by professional devs or devs who have made it their full-time employment you immediately see the difference in the speed and consistency at which their projects are finished.
How much or how little money someone got from their Patreon is irrelevant to me, if a person wishes to pledge money then that is their choice.
Regardless at the end of the day this game has potential - give the dev some time to fix the bugs (be that a few months, or even years). Just take a look at some of the top games on these forums those have been in development for literal years to reach the final build quality they had. Some for as many as 8+ years now!
People here are either blind to the reality or spoiled now due to how many English h-game devs there now are. This was not always the case and I for one am well used to bookmarking a project and checking it from time to time to see how the progress is. Easily waiting years until it is finished before finally playing it. This is just the reality of playing
How would you know? Well because in the post in which you responded to me claiming you don't know, literally included a link from me with the entire data of the money they have recieved from Patreon over the last 5+ years. I was even generous with my calculations and gave them an average of $14k/mo, even though the reality is higher than that.
As for "up for the supporters to pull their support away if they truly mind" not only have supporters literally done exactly this, which you'd be able to see if you followed my link, but more importantly here nobody needs to be a supporter in order to have an opinion on the matter. If you have a local store which makes a promotion that they're going to bring in new mechandise, and that new merchandise is their focus, and it will come out in six weeks. If that store actually ends up taking six months, it doesn't matter one iota if I've never bought anything from that store ever before. It matters that a deadline was not only missed, but it was missed repeatedly, missed for a bad reason, and when they finally met a deadline the product was sub par.
This is why TV shows are open to criticism. It doesn't matter that I didn't finance the show. It matters that someone did. It matters what kind of investment they made, since it should be proportional to product.
Above response is relevant to you as well. Would it surprise you I did not click the link as I honestly just don't care either way. H-games take time to arrive if you fund it early or not that is your choice. We aren't talking about TV shows here, we are talking about h-games. H-games should be compared to h-games. All projects take many years and the early builds are often crappy compared to the final builds.
This project has a lot of potential. Yes it could get cancelled yes it could go on another hiatus. But maybe, just maybe the bugs can be fixed and the game can reach its potential.
I do know one thing though, positive support helps motivate devs to keep improving their game. I have seen projects cancelled where the dev just couldn't handle the ridiculous toxic negativity that these forums have. If people aren't happy with the way the project is going they should give their positive negative feedback (as in explaining in a civil manner what is wrong with the game) and stop funding the Patreon.
But toxic negativity gets us no where. So just don't.
