Weekly updates are crazy. It would have been terribly small and we would not have had time to taste it and it would have ended immediately.
weekly updates as in patreon posts, not updates to the game. more communication. i'll edit my post for clarification.
The game developer has already written that he doesn't have much time. I don't think it's worth bothering him.
I agree. More communication would be really appreciated. Update posts don't really have to contain a cg or even that much information. It can be just a short message with some details on the development, some random ideas, etc.
The dev seemingly has little free time, so updating on game progress would slow actual game progress.
I really don't see how that would be the case. Writing a sentence or two on the game's progress weekly wouldn't take much time at all. It isn't like we are asking for everyday posts or for literal essays on the game.
Dude, people are different. Maybe he thinks a lot about what to write then translate the text correctly, check for all errors, attach an image, etc. As a result, it turns out that he spends 20-40 minutes .
That just sounds like far-fetched excuses, but whatever. I don't really care that much, but it would be good for his patreon if it provided some regular benefits for the patreons. Obviously, shortening the delay between game updates is out, it would dilute the game and I wouldn't want that either. So the only thing that remains to bring in more patreons and hype up the existing ones are regular posts on the game.
I don't have to prove anything. I brought up the most obvious suggestion on improving Torimiata's patreon, this is patreon 101. Not doing it is a disservice to the game.
Fair enough. Patreon posts might not bring much new subscribers, but it would help keep the existing ones. Right now there is not enough incentive to keep being subscribed every month, considering that updates come out every 2 months. That's where the dips in subscribers come from. I guess it is fine if it is not your priority. I, myself, am lukewarm on patreon posts, but it is usually what creators do to keep up the activity.I'm still here, just full development mode right now
I understand concerns about update frequency, yet doing that sometimes is more complex than it appears. I might do a post towards end of the week once I have something more interesting to share but maybe it's just me, a post like that definitely takes some time and it's a distraction - I have to be careful with what I say.
Experience has taught me the importance of cautious communication. Inaccurate estimates can be more harmful than no estimates at all, and rushed releases can do more damage than delayed releases. Mentioning scenes that may not make it into the final version is also something I don't like to do - and it has happened.
Looking at the numbers, it's clear that what really boosts Patreon support is the act of releasing new content. Activity tends to dip significantly between releases - it's literally almost like a straight line (also why leaks can be so complicated).
Maybe other people have different experiences, that could be interesting to see as well.

Every form of support you give - be it through Patreon, reviews, or simply spreading the word - is super appreciated.
With the time I have, my focus is on development, particularly in the stretches between releases. It might seem like I disappear now and then, but for those who've been following for a while, you know the drill! I hope the game's quality and the content will compensate any of that.
