Who tells you devs want to speed up game development
Exactly. It's all about subscriber retention really.

Leaving as much as possible close to being finished means more donators waiting for the next update to drop. If he would finish all the, say, Temple stuff before moving on to other sidequests, then the people that are into futa would stop donating because they already got what they wanted, and check in a year or so if the game's progressed enough to give it a try and check out the new stuff.

He would be losing money by NOT keeping as much as possible unfinished.

Seems that their public Discord server is now gone lol. Not that it's useful or anything, shit doesn't get updated there anyway.

Btw, people are also complaining on the game's Steam page. According to them, it would seem that our dear old devs are quite the douchey and shady lot...which you're probably already aware of by now. It's disappointing when you like a game then you find out the devs are like that.

All i see are people complaining about bugs, the steam version having a tiny bit less content, and the game not being finished.
I'm personally not too worried about the game getting finished eventually, because they already have 1 finished game under their belt (though that one was much more linear).

News of incoming content:
"Hello, hello, in this post I shall be talking a bit about Isander, an upcoming character for Rathpike!
Isander is a character concept I've been working on for awhile, that I think will really fit and embody the theme of Rathpike! Hailing from a mercenary background, alongside Lion, he formed the backbone of Zeon's elite contingent that enabled Zeon's victory over all the bickering mercenary groups. However, peace ill-suited his tastes, and despite having been lavished with a victor's spoils of war, Isander quickly grew bored with the stability that came with Zeon's regime and left, wandering the dusty badlands, seeking out the thrill and the rush of blood and war once more. Such outright desertion would usually merit him being hunted down, and lethally punished... But knowing full well the potentially crippling cost of taking him down, Zeon simply did nothing and let the war-lusting giant leave.
Isander strikes a towering, implacable figure, more of a force of nature than a mortal man. He is meant to exist squarely in a moral grey-zone; he cares not for high-handed concepts like justice and mercy. All he wants is excitement, and all he cares for is his own enjoyment. Be it from killing worthy foes, finding good booze, to bedding women - it matters not the source. Isander will butcher a pack of monsters pillaging a village, only to do worse to that wrongfully-thankful village himself; he will just as happily hack to pieces a bunch of murderous bandits as well as an innocent barkeep trying to stop him from destroying his livelihood by drinking all his wares.

We've handily reskinned an existing CG for his immediate use (which was previously the placeholder for the Lawrence x Claire oral scene, which now has it's own proper version), and in this sneak peek, you can see a potential outcome with him where Claire's gotten him all riled up... And he's not going to settle down until that pretty little mouth of hers is put to use.
Isander will pop up from time to time in multiple sidequests across Rathpike, either as an untoward helper, a very formidable enemy, or even simply a passing observer."

Just wanted to say that the incest story between the rich guy and his sister was the best and most realistic one i have ever seen in any porn game, even movies. Mind you, i am talking about the consensual route.
The guy basically confesses about how he feels about her and she agrees after thinking about it. And her reasoning was actually logical, natural and humane.
Firstly she hesitates because it is a Taboo and her brother just says - We shouldn't care what other people think. Nor the gods. They didn't do anything for us, they hurt us, hurt you if nothing else. F them.
Then she was worried that her brother will abuse her and use her like a toy. He promises that he will never do that to her and be gentle and loving.
So she agrees because her brother always cared about her and was always there for her. She gains a lover who is close, protective and sincere. Also he agrees to leave her in charge of the family estate which shows that he doesn't care about power as long as he has her. Of course that she will agree to that if she has warm feelings towards him. What does she lose?
They can even do a three some with Claire. Seriously they are the best couple in the game imo.
Still he was very creepy and abusive when he used Claire. No doubt about that.
Even during their sex scene she looked like a very long itch and desire finally got sated.
So many games and i mean like 99% make it incest seem forceful, out of nowhere and the biggest crime is that it happens because "incest" and not because the two people are very close and share real emotions for each other.
So yeah. Amazing job right there. Also i loved the Spider Goddess Bad End scene. <3

How to get on that "consensual route"?

Why don't they focus on 1 or 2 side quests for 1 or 2 updates and finish them it will speed up the progression of the game as they don't uhh... want to invest in the main storyline
I'm just gonna quote someone's review because as much as I like the game, I can't but to agree with him.

Like so many other games on this site Claires Quest is more or less a smut subscription that the Devs have no intention of finishing.
The two stars are mostly due to the quality of the art which isn't great but better than most of the stuff you find smut games.
The gameplay itself is below average; littered with bugs and poorly executed mechanics.
The story is a complete mess. Originally the head dev wanted to make a dystopian rape game wherein the protagonist is constantly being raped, molested, and otherwise sexually harassed by everyone and everything around her in a world invaded and overrun by horny monsters. However the head dev allowed people to pay large sums of money (several thousand according to the discord) to add whatever they wanted to the game and that's how the bestiality ranch and the sisters of fertility storylines were added to the game. Both storylines completely ignore the fact that Claires world is at war.
I cannot repeat enough that this game is just a meal ticket for the devs. It has been in development for 5 years at the time of this review. Play the game and ask yourself this; does this look like anywhere close to 5 years worth of honest work?
Emphasis on this part in particular

Agreed, the devs should have kept the focus of the game tight and wrap it up. The sisters of fertility and beastiality ranch could be their own standalone game or dlc.

Now we are 5 years in, and no closer to seeing a actual ending.
