You make some valid points but I am not sure about you statement that posting preview pictures hurts developer more than releasing full game update. It is almost equivalent of stating that leaking movie trailer hurts studio more than pirating the whole movie.
Trailers, pictures and previews are there to entice people about the content.
... ...
That being said, regarding this site, I strongly believe that everyone should contribute something. It doesn't necessarily have to be financial contribution. There is probably quite a bit of folks that are just downloading massive amount of content without giving anything in return.
Those are the people that hurt developers the most.
To me it is more like giving away the items that come with special editions. If you have those items for free, no one will buy it. But again, I guess we just have different points of view, and now I see that some people still pay even after getting them for free, so I see I was partially wrong.

And yeah, I agree. I mean, I said that in the first comment: the reviews coming from this page help the game progress, and that's also a good contribution. To me, that is 'good piracy', if that exists. But anyway, I don't think this is the thread to discuss about it... x'D

Too bad in most RPGM games (not all) you spend too much time running around the map, doing pointless fighting and basically doing stuff you were doing in old rpg games from early 90's. I started playing these games, but now I kinda prefer to read the story and look at the pictures in VNs. Thankfully most of the VNs on this site is not like the japanese ones with is sooooo much pointless lines you have to skip to get to important stuff like twists and porn. Even though the game time in RPGM is longer, the main point of these games is not almost 30 years old and outdated gameplay, but fapping material. :D
You can try Coming of Age.

IMHO some pictures should not be leaked. The low tier patron or people who are still considering can decide to upgrade, keep supporting or upgrading the patron levels as a direct result. It's marketing 101 but it seems most devs are locking behind ridiculous paywalls what they should give for free. I used to be a patron myself and right now I am still waiting for that one special Dev that will make me a patron again. So far, there were some games that were quite interesting but by the time I considered to support them the projects were abandoned, there are the games that I think the devs are purposely dragging the development "milking" the patrons and there are the games that are going to offer about 1-2 hours of continuous gameplay that I will only support when they are complete and therefore "pay" once for said game. Unfortunately, most devs don't use their brains and study basic marketing techniques and that's where a lot of them phail. Of course, we have the ones that upload stumps calling them alfa and then milking the patrons for a few hundred bucks only to abandon the project a few months later, in which time they "produce" another alfa stump. They should be banned from ever being able to touch any kind of computer (laptop, desktop, tablet, smartphone, etc.). That'd be my two cents.

@ T4boo's and/or the patrons. Do we have any news as to when 0.0.6 is expected/might drop?

If i am right ver4 ended in hot tub.Btw guys which route are you playing?
Version 4 ending in the hot tub or with a hot tub scene. Version 5 ended with getting back from your meeting with Mr Silver and you having either send your niece home on the train or having acquiesced in her taking a job with mr. Silver. There were a lot of game game over opportunities at the end of version .5. As to the route that I'm taking, I've been maximizing Christine's horniness.
