in fact it's my understanding that even patreon subs are actually not spending since he froze the payments till the next update
He is not freezing anything, but offer refunds. I used this option several days ago and already got my 15$ back. I'm also not support dev current way of things so I'm going to ignore remaster as way to protest agains it (unless he made impossible to start from where 0.5.2 ends with old saves) and would only join back to subscription if see that he fix his shedulge problems.

Not saying one way or the other cuz I don't care but if someone loses their desire it would be big respect to just say so cuz it's a bigger fuck you to the fans to delay the inevitable and end up being another staller. Not saying it is the case here but I've seen it and it's sad cuz ppl respect honesty and sincerity. That being said this vn doesn't really have much it can do beyond start to dip it's toes into ntr vibes because the draw of it has been how it stayed innocent the whole time. She never truly fucked anyone and it stayed as a tease the whole time, and to me that's the best nts is when she can roleplay well and sees how close she can get to the line to rile him up without actually crossing it, then using the charge she built up in him to fuck her senseless. It's best it stays that way and if that means abandoned then so be it.

Another clever trick by Dev, saying it will be released on Sunday, oops, only some elements are missing, Year and Month, which is not a small thing for a date, hahahahhahah
I did consider financially supporting this project and have financially supported several projects in the past, most recently Turning the Page and formerly A Promise Best Left Unkept. I happened to stumble onto this game, apparently, after the dev became inactive as history suggests updates used to be regular but no longer are? Anyhow, any consideration for supporting the project has been indefinitely suspended. Not only is the next teased update on hold but it seems a remaster nobody asked for is...delayed?

Here's to hoping things get back on track

While Tori said that won't happen, I'm sure she'll have some route.

On the other hand, Discord is on fire and seems to indicate that: Remaster October-November.

Update v6.0 2025+

XDD

I mean if people didnt voice their complaints then he wouldn't have given anyone a chance for a refund. Happens often enough in business.

This situation is eerily similar to what happend to the game called Girlfriend's Tapes. It was stuck at 0.9 for really long and the author never finished it which is quite sad but he actually froze the subs so we wouldnt be paying for it which is quite nice.

Stopped my sub on tori after the first delay, has he froze it yet for the current members or is he just grifting the subs?

His public paid members count has continued to increase. He currently earns about $2000 a month at a minimum.

Edit: Patreon is not frozen. I just checked. He is only offering refunds to those who bother reaching out to him.

Yep, the numbers only went up, we don't have the precise number but it's higher than before. Ofc he's accepting refunds, when not releasing anything but teasing random shit every now and then will make the numbers go up anyway. This is very disrespectful but who cares $$

Bro is actually at an all time peak subs right now. :ROFLMAO:
Scary how this works. Nothing happened, it's a bubble.

When the bubble Burst All these Defender will disappear :BootyTime::BootyTime: Just Like Crypto Project haha. Imo Many Delayed + Money Refund to Supporter who not happy + Focus on not demand work these are pattern that lead to abandonment/ Dev Burned Out.

It is a cycle we have seen again and again. Just like all the other games with promising starts, procrastination leads to abandonment. I guess next update will drop after a few months and then it will be stealth abandoned while still raking in $20k+ from patreon with teasers for over a year.

Its starting again. I feel like for some reason people are under the impression that Tori has some secret powers to force people to sub to him. Like the people subbed to him currently are subbed to him for his teasers/text posts. Not the update.

Because if they were subbed for the update they would just sub when the update is out. No other reason to sub beforehand unless you wanted to see a teaser image or something. In which case thats on you that you're expecting more than whats currently available at the time of the sub. So I feel all this hate should be directed towards the subs not the dev.

All I'm saying is that all this discourse has forced Tori into a corner. Either there was so much complaints that he's not too motivated to release for a bunch of people OR there's so much complaints that now there is pressure to deliver something insane so he absolutely cannot release anything that he doesn't see as perfect. Hence the constant delays and edits. If he catches even one minuscule thing that someone could complain about he'd rather just spend the extra few days working on it until it's at a place he likes than release it as it was.

Honestly without all the hate I'm sure he would've released already and just edited as usual. But I think the extra wait caused (due to admittedly mismanaged communication) increased expectations to have it right the first time and since he's a perfectionist it caused delays.

no one forced tori to do anything, he did this to himself with non-stop scope creep.

tori in july:

I don't anticipate a two-month delay or anything remotely similar, it's just not gonna happen in July, but I'm working on getting a clearer timeline soon so I can do the typical 'countdown' post. It's not all scenes that need work.

tori in discord a few nights ago:

Torimiata said:
Doing a remaster is no small task, I'm literally reworking every CG in the game. Sure, there’s a base, but it’s still a ton of work with complexities that aren’t always obvious. Thankfully, this is a one-off.
the scope of the remake has crept from "not all scenes need work" to "literally reworking every CG in the game"

we didn't make him do that. in fact, we strongly recommended against it, repeatedly!

^^This, I feel like people's memories are getting shorter by the day...

To me the timing here is the issue. It's not that a remastering or revamping is always bad (though usually it is), it's that it's occurring after a regular update was delayed.

Like a kid who tells his mom "I feel sick" - ok, reasonable, but just so happens he's saying this when school is about to start and not when he's about to go out with friends :sneaky:
