Curiosity, how did you get the 10k ? You looked on Patreon (I know in some cases, it is visible) ?
the devs are kinda making this game as a hobby, besides they basically made a whole other game between updates (the zombie game that i dont remember the name) among other small projects.

I wish I had a hobby that paid 10k a month.
Overgrown: Genesis was finished over 2 years ago, with some post release content added afterwards. But the rate of Claire's Quest updates and content per update actually went down after the devs finished that game despite them having no other major project soaking up half of their time and resources, and promising their supporters the opposite would happen.
And yeah, sure, the argument that people on a pirate site can't complain about the rate of updates from a dev isn't an unfair one. Except that I had been a patron at various points and the lack of regular updates was the main reason I stopped supporting the devs.
Even if I wasn't a patron, being critical of scummy business practices isn't a right reserved solely for said business' customers. And at 10k a month with multiple developers, Dystopian Project absolutely is a business.
I am avoiding comments on the other parts, but on this, yep, definitively, I know, and met in the past, bunch of consultants who had their own company, and where getting less than that, and I know tons of people (including myself, I must confess), that even when living in countries that are expensive, get a lot less as salary.
If they are a big group, it is true that this can moderate the equation (because the 10k are split), but still, start to sound like they may be actually a full salary out of it.
I cannot complain in my case, but to support your point, I can point out that when I realised that was the case from the forum, I decided against becoming a Patreon, even if I like the game.
Especially the drawing and the combination with the text are very good (well, aside some glaring mistakes, but I can manage to understand what they mean, so it's OK), and I believe once completed and with all the drawings (got the impression some scenes had text and a black screen because they are supposed to have one or two more sketches), it could be great.
And the way the quests, cheats and interface are made, from my perspectiev help avoid some of the elements of RPGM and similar platforms I dislike.
The gallery suggest most stuff in Valos is futa, which I am not interested into at all, but for me it is still a good game.
The only reason I am not sponsoring is that for me one thing is sponsoring the thing, anotehr is being "milked", I am too thin to be a milk cow
- but if they are getting 10k a month, not matter any comment in favour or against made here, I don't believe they are going to change anything, a couple of supporters more or less are not going to create a real impact .Its also been prob what feels like a year since i did this (its actually 2-3 at this point) and i could be kind of wrong
With what Penitensary replied to you with, its pretty much how i had done it. I looked up my comment on another site cause i remember making it and this is what i said
"In case yall are like me and cheat-teleport out of the beginning/starting area, you can still get Beth for the farm without having to do the starting quests ect.
You gotta look at the guide/walkthrough on how to rescue her form the kidnapped house place, there are a few pre-quests you have to do before that point but it is well worth it"
idk how to use save files. i put them in the save folder but it doesnt work when i load up the game

In the Meat Pit, "She feels the tip push past her esophagus and slide down the slimy wet confines of her throat..."
Somebody doesn't understand anatomy, eh?
TLDR: The esophagus is downstream from the throat. I think if one can't be bothered to verify the terms with an
The geek part:
The esophagus is the foot-long tube that ends at the stomach and originates at the pharynx in the neck. The pharynx is the passage that connects the nasal sinuses and mouth with the esophagus and trachea. "Throat" refers to the passage through the neck, so always the pharynx, often the trachea (windpipe), and rarely the upper couple inches of the esophagus. Regardless of the definitions of" throat" used, the throat always lies superior (above) the majority of the esophagus, so by the time a dick encounters the esophagus, it's already in or through the throat.
To "push past her esophagus", the tip would literally be in her stomach getting gastric juices on it: digested. The two actions in the sentence are joined with an "and", which doesn't require chronological order, but it is implied and is certainly the standard in writing action and sex scenes. "And" is understood to mean "then" in this situation. The only way for a dick to "push past her esophagus [then] slide down ... her throat" would be to initiate penetration from the stomach end of these organs and legitimately be over 13 inches, but the scene would have to be one of the game overs.
The obvious answer is the writer likely meant "uvula" instead of "esophagus". Maybe he meant "epiglottis", but then you're talking about some weird trachea-fuck situation, and again by the time a dick encounters the epiglottis, it's already in the throat. Or maybe a quick search for synonyms of "throat" yielded "esophagus"? But that doesn't make sense: you wouldn't write "push past her [throat] and slide down... her throat", right? I'm sure this sentence was written about 6-7 years ago and there's zero hope for it to be fixed, but bah! If anyone reading this is an erotica writer or will be someday, please either write anatomy in the ballpark of correctly or just use crude terms.
The concludes my stream-of-consciousness editorial rant, you will now be returned to your regularly scheduled thread comments.

, use colloquialisms, not defined anatomical terms. If you feel the need to use precise anatomical descriptions in your porn writing, many of us love it. It helps paint a more vivid mental picture, but it has to be at least somewhat accurate imo.The geek part:

I was myself as well, and that server no longer seems to be around (or at least no longer in my list).
Seems to be a glitch in the Bar in Valos - Outer city, when I talk to this guy he directs me to go in and talk to the chef, except every time the dialogue with this guy ends, Claire gets trapped on the table and you need to reload your session.

I've been seeing that in several places. Between that, and the random black screen, it's becoming unplayable.
