This is the second time you talk about lenght, last time, around 40 days ago. Your toxicity pissed me then. This time you got a response even if I shouldn't.

The first time you commented was after Last major release. A release with 1:30h hours of quality content. I don't care if you just skip text, just looking every pic of the game for 3 seconds without having to read, make choices, go places, alone, by calculator math, is already 3:30h of looking at pics. Game was released around 8 months ago with 4 hours of gameplay and now with next update will already have around 5-6 hours more.
Seventh, I share your extreme irritation with this sort of comment, which is (1) disrespectful and (2) totally underrates the amount of work that goes into a game like this. I am amazed at the amount of effort that you put into this game, particularly given that you are working-up beautiful, original artwork and are managing a complex branching story.

That said, there are business challenges associated with producing a great game like _Battle for Luvia_, which are highlighted by this kind of exchange. Most ordinary punters are much more focused on porn rather than the more lovely, story-driven aspects of your game.

Let me be clear that I _do not_ share this perspective, and would greatly prefer that you continue updating your game on the same schedule, in the same manner, that you have used over the past 8 months.

I am one of your Patreons (under the same handle) and will consider increasing my support even more. But I am concerned that you do not have more supporters, and that the game may not be 'paying' for your time as it should.

Pretty underrated game. You can definitely tell a lot of time and effort has been put into it. Keep the work going. You clearly have a great vision for the game.

What version of the game are you playing? Win64? Win32? Linux? Mac?

You say that you get a black screen when going from the map to leffrin, right? Is the first time you get back to leffrin?

Thanks man, you've been supporting for a long time and thanks to you and other patrons like you I know I'm doing a good job.

You guys are so supportive, and I'm not plan on failing on you; as said many times, the game was never meant to even open a Patreon but wait to be complete and released on Steam, so worst case scenario the only thing that can happen is that some months I could be more slow if I have to take more extra jobs to keep the house economy up, but even then I'm pretty sure updates are going to keep comming as planned... every few months some major 1-1:30h major release, some quick minor release now and then. For example maybe when I finish trying make the android builds and make that damn MAC build work better, I could release an update just with a Duke Commisioned scene that I owe Joey since some months ago XD

But of course, if I would not have open a Patreon, you guys would have not seen the game for some years and maybe I could not have been able to afford easily the computer improvements to make better and faster art, so I guess it was a good choice in the end.

But yeah, having to hear some people complain like my life is own by them, or that I'm doing terrible, or wathever, helps nothing.

Now... Fifth or Sixth try with the Android Build... I think I'll try to get some help.

46 pages, 22 reviews with 4,5 stars from 5. Over half a year later and the author still has only 46 patreons. I cannot blame him, the fact that he's still here shows his real passion for the game. Something which is gone on many way more popular projects. Life isn't fair... nope, it's not. I really hope your Steam plans are going to turn out as a success, because you deserved it.

Minerva not for the moment. You need more mission in gypsy camp .

when i type in the terminal ,,cd MACBuildBFL013p1d'' it tells me that there is no such file
change that for BattleforLuvia.

Unity changed how compiles for MAC. Even then, I'm working on making a version that could work for everyone. Just spending some days first trying to make the android version work.
