Several people are in contact with TheGary if you want to write something and get something to him, it's doable.

You genuinely seem to want your own ending. It shows a real interest for the game, and I respect that.
As a few here, and some more elsewhere, you resent that Rachel was not among the possible choices. I already gave my opinion about that and tried to explain why for me it was not really possible, storywise. I won't do it again.
However, you need to consider / understand a few things.
. Gary did the best he could, given the time he had and the support he received. For most of his patrons, Chapter 5 was a very good release. As for me, but I'm only one among scores of patrons, it's close to being my dream update.
. Gary told the story he wanted to tell, taking advice and making polls along the way from his patron base to make the experience as enjoyable as possible for most. As far as I know you were not there. It's not a criticism, I would never mock or reproach someone because being a patron means spending money and not everyone gets the chance to be able to do it. What I'm trying to say here is that Gary was very close to his patrons, especially on Discord. And to insist that much about a "proper ending" is like saying to Gary that he did a sloppy job for his finale. And that the opinion of his patrons means nothing. I do resent that.
. Gary will release a "public" version of Chapter 5. It will include typo corrections passed along by splamo (and big thanks to him). It will be the only change, as far as I know. Gary is working on his new project, he already shared some picks with us on Discord. CMA chapter is closed for him and he needs to fully concentrate on his new game. I doubt very much that he will spend much time going over an ending that he would have done himself, had he felt the need for it. And he values a lot the quality of his game. So getting his support for an alternate version would mean that you are able to produce the same render quality, with a story and dialog that are consistent with the former chapters. What's your track record in those fields that would make Gary consider your offer?
So don't raise your hopes up too high.
I think it's time to move on and get ready for the new game.
I admire your choice to do such a thing. I wouldn't use screenshots though. If you unren the game, extracting the assets, you get access to the original images and scripts. Then download the RenPy game engine version that the last version of the game was developed in, and you can manipulate the game however you want, writing the new code that you need to achieve the final result that you seek.
As a work in progress, you can post in the game mods section to get opinions and advice from other forum members who also think Rachel deserved more love in an ending.

Gary's announcement for his new game :
You were separated from your best friend and his girlfriend during a fortnight wilderness treck.
After a week alone trying to find your way back in the forest, a mysterious girl appears and brings you to her home to meet 'Mother' and help find your friends.
A small community of hospitable women living in a secluded Eden, away from civilization. Everything seems too good to be true, you can't shake the feeling that something wrong is happening here...
See you soon for more news about The Patriarch.

Alright, you obviously care for this game a lot, so i'll try to explain myself the best i can. I apologize for any mistake i might make, english is not my native lenguage and i have dyslexia.
First of all, I know. Every point that you make i understand, but this game means just to much for me.
First, i kind of understand why, storywise, Rachel couldn't been a choice, but i also don't entirely understand, because of the calls you had with you uncle, where he tell you that it was his plan that you had that relationship with Rachel and basically fulfill his role, take this place in the relationship with Rachel and Susan.
There are several phone calls with you uncle where this is hint, he literally tells you to have sex with Rachel and help you do it.
But i also can understand why making you choose between you ex-girlfriend(now maid/slave) Rachel or his daughters might be hard to justify storywise.
*The LAST update was really good, the only problem i have is Rachel and little to nothing more.
My first problem is that Rachel is not a choice, after everything that happend you don't have any scene with Rachel in any ending, you have an event that is independent of the ending, but not event one that IS part of one ending.
My other problem is that the second island event is forgoten, the relationship and attitude of Rachel in this yatch event is the same as before the island, but Susan is not. The other problem is that this is the last thing you see, this is where the game ends, and since the last update and the ending are around you choosing a wife, it makes more sense that the last event, and the last thing you see, is your wife.
i mean, if you cut the whole second island event, the rest of the game makes perfect sense: The relationship with Rachel never develop enough, so cuting her from the ending makes sense, the same with Susan, your relationship with Susan before the second island event is based around Rachel, is in the island that you start a proper relationship with Susan, without Rachel.
*The problem i have is not the finale, is not the episode 5, is the last update of episode 4: I'll explain.
Before the third and last update of episode 4 there is nothing that tells you "There is no harem ending, you'll have to choose one of this 3 girls", if anything there are hints about a harem ending with Amy, Chloe and Emily knowing about all you do with each girl. And there is nothing that tells you "The ending is coming", so for me, that i'm not a Patreon(yet), and didn't knew about this, the ending came out of nowhere.
I feel like you didn't explore the diference between each girl, you develop you relatioship with everyone, and when the relationship got to the point where there couldn't been more development besides marriage the ending happed, but i feel like we didn't explore those diferences besides the interview with each girl, and this is what i want to explore in my ending.
i FEEL that we left to much to explore because of the place, in the yatch you had a lot more espace and places to try things, just the fact that each girl has a bedroom and the pool, the terrace, and for a last update he could have add a "casino" to the yatch.
i say i FEEL this, because i'm not an expert so i don't KNOW this, i'm just someone who reads a lot and plays way to many games like this one.
But i don't say that the ending is bad, the only thing that i don't really like about the ending, is that Rachel is not an option.
I don't mean to say is a sloppy ending or a bad one, because it's not, it's just that because the second island event, it feels like there is cut content, and a lot of potential wasted. Not because is bad, because is has room for improvement, like almost every game here, because is not a story that was written and rewritten and rewritten until it was perfect from start to finish.
*The renders, Story and participation of TheGary in this proyect:
As i say, this is not something that i can make right now, because of the renders, i don't have right now the equipment to make renders like this but i'll probably will me able to in a few months. That's why for a version 0.1 i'll just use renders from this episodes(1-5) to represent what is happening, and when i'm able to make this renders myself, i will change that.
The story i feel confident, because as i say, this is not a story that was written and rewritten and rewritten until it was perfect from start to finish, but THIS last alternative update and last episode will be, writen and rewritten and rewritten, i have played this games from episode 1 to episode 4, two times, episode 5 just once, and i will play them again to understant his story style and the caracters, so i feel like i can write this with a story and dialog that are consistent with the former chapters.
Besides, i don't have to take into consideration all the patreons wishes or opinions, just TheGary's.
And about TheGary's participation on this, i just want an opinion and approval, just a review to know if this fan made ending is good enough to be considered an alternative ending, and not just a fanfiction version of the ending, and this proyect will continue until it becomes good enough.
I don't want TheGary to focus or to keep working on CMA, the game is finished, and i'm really exited about his new game, but this game meas to much for me, way to much and i can't just let it go.
I just want someone to get this message to TheGary, to let him know that someone loves his work enough to make fanart from it, and yes, eventually i'll be able to get this message to him myself, but that will take a few months, and i don't want CMA to be "forgoten", i mean, i will work on this, but having TheGary's opinion will let me know that i'm in the righ path.
Right now, i just have the events of episode 4, and the paths of episode 5. Haven't write many dialog yet because i don't have a lot of time right now. But this "draft one for last update of episode 4" that want a review or opinion, not the whole game until is finished, just the story draft.
I hope this explain what i feel, and if you have any more points or questions, i will gladly answer.

Thank you!
I'm stuck, I need to start "spending time with emily" to advance but since she said won't do anything with a guy who has a gf how long does it take to get rid of Amy? I've played probably 2-3 weeks but haven't heard from Rachel on if Amy can sleep in her or any other room.
Ask Rachel to get Amy out of you room, then fuck Amy in you room, eventually Chloe will catch you and then Rachel will order that she sleeps with her from now on, then you can continue the event.

Don' talk to Chloe but talk/have fun with Emily.
When they ask to go out say yes
Wait for them, and only Chloe should show up drunk

When with Amy at night, you can also deny her : start to play with her in your room then stop.
She'll get frustrated and ask Rachel to sleep elsewhere

Here you are, just as I told you, only I had to repeat it one day from your save.
Here you go, but it's only 99%, i think is a bug, you somehow did "In need of atention 2" before "In need of atention 1", and now i think is blocked.
If yo want to get this to 100%, you should start over and do this before "Power Play", i don't know what else you could do, something like this never happend to me
Excellent renders, will grab the earlier chapters and give this a go.
