Are you sure about that, when I've played you had to wait for the diary to appear? After you've meet and interacted with everyone in the manor, and maybe (I can't remember) interact when the girls during their daily routines. It could be a conflict with previous saves and the recent update.

Ngl I was so excited after I saw this game get updated after such a long time, but man that miserable amount of content is just plain sad. The Dev really just remade two scenes, added a bunch of mp3 files, and called it an update. :WaitWhat: Like, WTF.

I think some fans need to be reminded creating games costs money, and since Dr. Bones told Patreon to fuck off, I'm not sure where or how much money he's able to make from donors. Considering the extreme content of this game, it may not be very popular.

I download his other game Survivors Guilt. It seem more of the usual x-rated content, but that game is very early in development and the content could end up on the extreme side as well. I'm only guessing, but by making a more acceptable (content wise) game it may bring more donors. And quicker development of The Manor.

Anyway just thinking out loud he could simply be developing 2 games in hopes it will draw more donor money to fund the projects.

Fascinating, so sniping at the dev and generally whiling away suspecting each other (us being almost entirely pirates) of being moles is "on" topic?

Man, weird, I was under the impression that even devs have bills to pay and health issues they can't summon at a whim to take care of (you know, living in the same world as everyone else?). Also that a majority of devs aren't single-mindedly only working on their projects constantly, as they have lives to live (with all the time and payment that eats up). Mind, The Manor itself isn't on patreon anymore (as of 2 years ago, apparently), with the only thing there now being the SG game.

Like, sure, it's a step up from bots asking for things and "full save" being requested ad nauseaum, but past a certain point (probably the one where we're self-aware that we're just here to talk shit and get hit), that's actually preferable.

Your comment is ignoring or not considering numerous points:
1. Bones earns far more then even the high-end of his local wages (I heard he lives in Uruguay, so if that's true, he lives like a king with the money he earns monthly, as the avg wage there is around 210 dollars per month)
2. 8 months of health issues that they didn't mention for a small rework filled update? Word?
3. Yes people live their lives, but in that case he should manage expectations instead of acting as if he has been working on something (and getting paid monthly) for 8 months. The logic behind patreon and subscribestar is that you contribute to someone so they can work on something for you. The best way to work on stuff if your work ethic is as bad as it is, is if you set the system in a way that you get paid per update, not monthly.
4. If you look at the Trello page on OP, you will see what he's working on, and he's literally not working on anything that'd increase the value in terms of a porn game (reworking already decent scenes, adding variations which is ok, with many tens of "not implemented" signs popping up while playing with no addition to the story.. 8 months of pledges..).

And talking about how bad Bones's work ethic is and how he's lying and deceiving his fanbase is relevant to the topic, because who knows what poor sod might pledge money to him, while he's just enjoying the beach and living a life of luxuy/vanity, and working for 3 weeks out of the 8 months of pledges (when he "set a hard date" and missed that).

What the hell are you on about bud? Nearly 5k per month on subscribestar, link is right there on the first page, takes 2 seconds to check. Add another 1,400 from patreon which is still very much up, it just only shows the other game. Survivor's Guilt, which you call "very early in development" was started 2.5 years ago. Get your basic facts straight before trying to run defense lmao.

Hey Everyone First of all, sorry for the "everyone" tag, but you should know by now that I only use it if it is important. So this is the thing: I DECIDED TO CANCEL THE BT:TM PROJECT AND STOP MAKING PORN GAMES Ok, now that you have that mini-heart-attack, don't worry, that was a big fat lie. I said that so you won't take the REAL NEWS too hard: I know it will not be a popular decision but, I decided to DELAY (again) THE 0.15 UPDATE for A WEEK. And I will tell you "why?" down below: 1- The Build is a broken mess right now. (The "under the hood" changes I made are not working well with some of the old scenes. I found a lot of shitty glitches and bugs while play-testing... so I need to correct them) 2- I will make changes to Jules & Velvet Final Act. (Even if I not a fan of those two, I want for them to have a well crafted ending, and right now I'm not happy at all with the result, so I will add something extra). 3- I made a lot of mistakes while working under pressure. (I let mysefl get carried away by the impatient crowd, And I was working under stress. This one is my bad, I still need to learn to avoid doing that). Now, I know that this update has become practically a meme given the delays on top of delays, and I'm sorry. BUT, I want to do this right. So if you are a subcriber and you feel betrayed, please stop pledging. And if you are a public consumer... just wait a few more days and shut up. (Still love ya tho). That's it. I will keep working until SATURDAY 15 of FEBRUARY then I will upload the build that same weekend. I'm sorry I didn't make it to Monday... I'm not happy with myself right now, but I'm also not a machine. Thank you.

Not much has changed in two years, lol

Might as well of just said that. No way he's actually doing anything but using his rake.
