seeing that spoiler pic makes me fully believe that this game will shift from Nts to full Ntr in the future otherwise there would be no real need to have such a huge size difference since its just sharing the girl. but Terrace with that size yeah this going full ntr ayumi mode

Not at all, as one of the proud members of the "reee stop trying to turn nts into ntr reee" contingency, I never got ntr vibes from this game.
The couple's relationship has always been portrayed as solid and loving, perhaps to the frustration of those who want an ntr-style story.
The true mark of excellence with Tori's writing. The NTS is so pure and true that the NTR enthusiasts are being cucked on a meta level.
Tori is absolutely cooking. The remaster looks awesome side by side with some of the old stuff. So on top of the massive update the play-through of the previous updates with added scenes will be huge bonus.
was a side by side comparison posted? the new AI model ruining the charm of the old art is my #1 fear with the new release so i hope someone posts the details
Mine as well. His most recent post on patreon shows a comparison. When he first announced the upgraded looks and technology a couple months ago I personally wasn't a fan. The way Ayumi looked in the old art style was better for me.
However, looking at the most recent side by side the change is super obvious and a clear upgrade. Like i'm definitely bought in now and I can definitely get behind additional scenes and with everything being remastered the story can be more cohesive in terms of the art from beginning to end.

sounds interesting but not $15 interesting haha. hate to say it but you have to read between the lines with this dev. "here's a teaser!" feels like code for "release pushed to september"
I believe all. Like the game is fully remade. He said it's definitely worth to wait until is out if you replaying.

"Despite the busy August, I'm pushing hard to deliver this update within the month. Your patience during this busy period is appreciated."
then the FINAL countdown, (ok we'll get it)
then he said it's the FINAL step on another post "the update will be here before you know it"
Now he somehow made a scary ''I'm remaking some shit up" post on the 28
We don't know if he's done it already or doing it. (ok he has edited the post it's mostly done I guess).
It's time to finish the FINAL FINAL.
You can't tease so much on a release and then say ''pause subscriptions guys" on the 28 when people have already paid to be there.
I'm subscribed to 6 creators and he's the weirdest one by far in terms of communication, it's frustrating because when you read the posts, you're even more in the fog than you were before. Everything is suggested.
I think that's also why you see so many 'when release' post on this game precisely.
You really just have to put numbers. ''I need at least 2 more weeks to do this and that'' (example), then if you need more you say it everyone will understand, it'll be better for the people that are following you to understand what is going on.

It wasn't my intention to confuse anyone. The recent post isn't a change of plans at all, just an engagement update while I continue working."Despite the busy August, I'm pushing hard to deliver this update within the month. Your patience during this busy period is appreciated."

The countdown post was accurate - the bulk of the work is done, including both remastering old CGs and creating new content. Now, I'm in the final stages: fixing minor mistakes, editing the script, and tweaking UI.
Some 'minor' fixes can take over an hour each. Multiply that across hundreds of CGs, plus script work, and it adds up quickly.
As a solo developer working part-time, it's a substantial amount to review. I'm working as fast as I can, but I have limited options to speed things up. I appreciate everyone's patience, I am working on it.

My post was more about the unpredictable pace of the release of the game, and trying to understand why the only topic of discussion is people complaining about it.
I think that being more open about your work pace and giving us more info will always help a lot. (just like you did there in fact).
Some creator have monthly update and it's easier for us because we know what and when we're getting the update, and if there are some problems during the month, they can also postpone it to a later date and people will understand because the scale of time is still there.
But it's also ok to do (just like you) bigger updates that take more time.
The problem it will generate when you don't give a date or at least an estimate release beforehand (or not enough supervision of the steps methodologically) is that people will start thinking it's getting a bit long at first, then they'll criticize because they're in a total fog and it'll only go worse as time goes by (even more when money and trust are involved).
That's what happen to most game with the same type of release. For example, to stay in the same category of game The Curse of Pleasure has the same problem to an even more extended level.

Be honest. Have you been a patreon subscriber all of these months? I feel like a lot of complaining are from people that either subscribed a single month or don't subscribe at all. The dev has been super open about all the progress and where things were at in Discord. And if any subscriber felt like the money was wasted you could always message him and he'd refund you. So there's never been a lack of trust or money wasted during the whole process amongst actual subscribers.
To be fair the only patron level that gives access to the complete information about the development of the game is platinum 15$ patron (from what i have heard). I have been a 5$ patron for a while and have been somewhat in the dark about the development details as well. Not everyone has the money to subscribe to the highest level.

It was not satisfying to me I'll be honest, and yes I'm checking discord and I've sub from the moment I discovered this game. I support artists a lot in fact when the game is good. And no even if I'm not satisfied with the posts I won't ask for a refund because that's a rat move that majority of people won't even think of (even if the creator would say so).
In the end as I said the game is good and I'm not allowed to criticize the work, but the communication that I found very foggy.
