Well that`s true, on the other hand you can`t get the game without pledging(legally, not pirating). So it`s kinda buying the game itself, it`s not all black and white to be fair... Supporting the dev would be the donation system for a game that he gives out for free, not this whole patreon thing. This pledges are more like encouraging them to actually do/finish something you like and it`s in the early phases of development. So after you are pledged for about 1-2 years, you kinda want a finished product for all that money, otherwise you can even look at it as some sort of scam.

You do get the game for free. The patrons only get early access to the latest release. Those updates are eventually released to the public for free. Having early access is a perk that is given to say thank you for your pledge. It is not a transaction where you pledge and be a patron in exchange of buying the game.

And this is more on a general level, not just DS/BB:
I`m no dev, I don`t really know what goes on in making a game, but: Why would someone need employees, as long as they take 1 month for an update which contains... let`s say 150 images. You, as a creator, allready know the story and how you want to put it, story wise it would not take that much time to write the update. There are not even that many "lines" to write. Do you really need almost a month for coding and rendering 150 images? Maybe if you`re alone...
When you add employees I would expect updates more often, or the monthy updates to be actually big, not the same as before. I really do feel like most creators are just looking to take as much money for the longest time possible, not actually doing/finishing something worthy, that him and his fans would be fond of.

That's why you're not a developer. What you said clearly sounded as if that person has no life but to create the game lol. People need breaks (they need sleep, eat, shower, poop, etc). Things don't always go smoothly (that's why bugs happened). People don't work 7 days/week for a whole month (that's why weekends existed). People don't work 24 hours/day (normal full time working hours is around 7.5-8 hours per day). So in a month, a full time worker usually work around 180 hours. How many hours to render one image? How many hours needed to test the product? How many hours needed to fix problems?

All the bullshit we went through, all the money he/she gladly cashed, and now all of a sudden he/she can't work on his/her project because Patreon "told em' to". If Dark Silver really is that much of a push over, I fear where his/her projects will lead to. It shows that the slightest disruption in monetary gain will make Dark Silver bend over and jump ship on the project they are currently working on. "Glamour" reeks of desperation, the main character being a female is a horrible fucking idea. The majority of us who play these games are males, we like to be males in games, we can't put ourselves in the situation of courting and fucking a guy. No offence, that's pretty gay. Even going for chicks while playing as one makes our skin crawl, it's just not us playing and making the decisions, we are conforming to a character that we can't and never will relate to. If you're a female, maybe that's great? But let's be honest, how large a portion of the market is female? Now I'd be highly skeptical of supporting any project with the name "Dark Silver" on it.

In the end, did we even get to take Lisa's virginity? Seems like a huge dick move if it doesn't even end with that.

ROFLMAO

All the bullshit we went through? What the heck is that? LMAO. You went through bullshit? If you're a patron, all you did was just giving him money. That's all. There's no "bullshit" for you to go through LOL.

This is probably the single most entitled sounding post I've ever read in my whole life.

A lot of devs have thought this, and a lot of abandoned 0.2s and 0.3s have proven them wrong. Even bad writing isn't actually that easy.

How am I entitled for expecting a product to be finished? What's to say he wont abandon Glamour at the first site of trouble like he did with BB? BB was great, but he milked the living shit out of it. If "entitlement" is expecting a product to not be abandoned throughout its cycle, then I happily embrace said title. As for you, the only word that describes you is "naive".

I don't want to burst your bubble but none should ever expect porn games to be finished. When you support a developer on Patreon, you are essentially paying for development time and not a finished product. The outcome (finished product) is like playing Russian Roulette, only that the revolver already has 5 bullets in the chamber. Almost no developer whatsoever has any code/business acumen. I don't know why people can't drive that in their heads.

In BB's case, you pulled the trigger.

That's exactly the type of mindset that allows devs to get away scot free time and time again. When we start holding developers to a higher standard, their standards will inevitably go up as well. Sadly this is not the case with Dark Silver.

Big Brother is now free.
Why do I have to download "the base game + crack" ?

If you want to use Mods/cheats you need crack version

While I agree with you to a certain point, you as a patron/supporter also need to curb your expectations. Imagine how easy it is for random smut games to flop when multi million game projects do the same (and by random I mean relative to triple A+ standards). Also (personal opinion here following) what kind of developing standards are we talking about? Everyone literally jumps the patron bandwagon the first moment they see a good DAZ render.

gj, but I don't really care. If I come in a thread and find that there are 20 new pages of content and can't find any relevant news in the last 2, I prefer to ask and not get an answer, than lose my time and search around for info about a porn game that I was not even pledging. I'm sorry that this bothers you, but I value my time and nobody is forced to respond to my questions.

I value time too and using the search option is even simpler than asking questions and waiting for a response.
And you do not have to waste time looking for and reading unwanted threads

i hope for next version. v0.14 must be lisa's turn.
@DarkSilver please don't stop making it

All sex in this VN is lackluster and for the most part pussy hiding.

I find DS lack of imagination in creating sex scenes with multiple characters quite disappointing.
It can probably be contributed to his inexperience or just lazyness to create more complex renders.

Non end-of-times-related:

Aside of Ann content, is there any progress at all with Viky, Olivia's mom or the doctor? Or they're not touched at all?
