there are too few people in the high tiers and it doesn't seem that the game gets internally tested before release, so that's a mess. Having a playable version at the release date of lower tiers is a bummer adding to the rest.

Yeah, I must agree with you, I'm at the highest tier, and always report bugs. But what I've found is that new updates are causing bugs in earlier parts of the game. A lot of bugs reported here I've already played through and had no problem with. I never had a problem with massages(legs are hands) no problem with Kira, or Alice(blog). Pre-testing from start new game point, is to much to expect from patreons.

To test it properly, you had to play through the complete game from the beginning with every update. Only then you can be sure that there are no errors. It would be good if someone from the highest level would do that. What if you would do it? At the moment there is little content and you can easily play through two paths in one day. I am only a $10 patron. Unfortunately I can only support with $10 because I already support many other games. My wife is already complaining that I spend too much money on support. Sometimes I can't even manage to play the updates of the games I support (lack of time).

yeah, one thing I'm asking is to be able to load my old save and pick up my game where I left it, except ofc if it's early versions or new chapters etc. Or provide a savegame. That's why I gave up on summertime saga, aint nobody got time for that.
Being at the top tier in this case really means financially supporting the dev at this point, nothing else much as you can't have a full experience before the others etc. And the tier is kind of expensive for the advantages/advance you get.
That's why i'm reconsidering atm.
wow now i see the high tier active members are fighting over who is doing good job on reporting bugs and who is supporting the developer that creating this game.....
AND they didnt see what i wrote about the text in the game that are copy and paste in all the dialogs and also about not giving the player to choose which path to go either ntr or alpha, instead of torchering Max aka the player to see the scenes that they doesnt want to look at....
and also there are no explination about the influence info in the help for the player to understand because in my earlier posts in pages ( 250 and 251 ) i wrote what i was facing about the ( relationship, mood and Eric's influence ).
so if they really played the game right then lets see what they have to say about my questions........ to see who is really played the game as they say.... and how they didnt see about that?
as a developer or even the story writer should give all options and let the player to choose.......... if we want to talk about a successful developer....... who would do the story as ground to develop the game along.
but again we all want for the game to succeed and to be finished without errors....

Well, one thing I have is time, I went from a Marine on the frontline, to just some dude in a wheelchair, in less than a year. But I get bored playing the same thing over and over. I had enough of that with original. When not in the hospital or heavily medicated, I like to play something exciting. Most of a replay consist of, skip time, skip time, then skip some more. I don't mind supporting this game, I'd make a large donation, to see it through. But start over, after every update, is just to boring for me. Oh, btw I to support The Gary, good game.

I'm not a native english speaker and some people had issues reading my posts, same applies to you.
As for the response. Not every game goes same pattern, BB allows you to choose between Eric being dick and Eric being dick. Difference is whether you are fine with it (ally route) or not (fight). Fight it all you want, but Eric stays.
As of Patreon Tiers, bug testing and such. I guess if Aleksey implemented optional(!) cheats into higher tiers it could solve problems of Early Access not being rewarding?

The problem is that a number of patrons that are paying most are not playing the game at all,not even downloading it.They jusy give money to support the creator and don't care about the game.
wow from all the active members aka high tiers who been fighting about testing the game couldnt answer me..... and then comes you exactly as me newbie to answer me which puts the active members into shame.....
anyway i am not here to fight i just wanted to let them see maybe they seen the issue and if they did then they could of sound it so the developer could start doing an action about it....
and speaking about my english while you say yourself have problem with the language for people not understand your post came to speak about my english?????
and if you are ntr lover then its your choice i am not saying to remove it.... i am just saying that the developer to open an option for all the game players who are ntr and other taste to choose from..... if he really care about more audience to play his game other than just one route.... and as i said in my earlier posts if he just wanted it to be ntr he could of wrote it from the start.
and you didnt even speak about the other problems that i mentioned if you are one of these who plays this game do you know anything about Eric's influence how it works exactly? because the developer didnt mention anything about it in the game help.

You must be registered to see the links
Several moments with Alice are added to walkthrough, which can only be seen through viewing the camera of her room.
As for those talking about high tier patreons, you get this game 1-2 days after $30 patreons, you get to bug-test almost as soon as I do. As a matter of fact, most of the bugs I report to the dev, come from you. Now to Eric, a quick look through forum would tell you dev does not like Eric or NTR, there will be more ways to get rid of him than ways to keep him. Oh and if your seeing a lot of NTR with Eric it's because your peeking in Ann's room are your staying in living room when he's in it. If you don't like it, don't go in there. PS: I don't like Eric, but I have no problem avoiding almost all NTR.
I for one like the two week grace period before Eric shows up. I consider this the "tutorial phase". It gives you time to get used to the mechanics of the game without any pressure. If you had to "fight" Eric straight from the start without any idea what to do, that's just throwing you in the deep end. Also, it's pretty ironic that you're complaining about "just one route". The original only had one route when push came to shove, but now Aleksey has already stated there will be multiple routes (either NTR, co-op or taking the girls for yourself).
It will probably be the same as the original. Every time Eric spends time with the family, his influence goes up (meaning every time he comes over, and saturday's when he goes shopping with the girls). You counter this influence by spending time with the girls and doing your chores.
thank you for your reply and i totally agree with you.
yes but you say that you like the first two weeks because he comes in.....
well in this version 4.0.08 fix he shows up in the 4th day..... and thats why i been complaining because in the two weeks start before him showing up could give me chance to be able to advance which the earlier version of this game allowed me.....

Ok, I think there's a misunderstanding here, Eric is introduced to the family, first Saturday in game. Eric is not in the home at that time. There's no bug your just talking about two different things. It wouldn't change a thing if Eric was in the home when the family first arrived on day 1 however. Dialogue would be a little different, that's all. You can not change a thing about Eric, not even with all the cheats known to mankind, all rolled in to one. Wait for 0.06-0.07 maybe.well then helpppppppppppp
now i am redownloading to see if its still the same or what?

ok well i mean introduced and then she leave with him and he get in monday as after other day.
but in my first post i wrote in page 250 in this blog about how i played it before in the earlier versions it worked advance with the girls before she starts to go with him so then kira comes and eric is out of the picture totally.... and also been able to talk to the delivery girl and also that i been able to peep on the neighbor house to unlock kira secret.
is that what you wanted me to say?

This "understanding" that the high tier supporters are to blame for bugs in the game is totally illogical.
The bugs in the game are the devs responsibility, if anyone should play through the game after every update and bugfix it is the dev. If anyone have the responsibility to have others test the game it's also the dev.
To be a high tier supporter is not the same as signing up to be a alpha tester. Having the money to support a single dev with 37.50$ every month does not mean that you have more time on your hands then someone supporting 1,25$ rather the opposite.
