The people who goes at it like "but what's in it for me?" usually all talk, nothing else. Why would anyone want an earlier version? To be a bugtester? Even the opposite makes more sense to me. Take a stroll on patreon and visit the popular adult game creators, stupid devs who put their projects behind a paywall earn much lower and almost all of their dear projects are available for free here in a day or two, doesn't make a freaking difference.
Then you feel wrong. It hasn't even been 3 months since the first build and the support Milda's getting currently is spot on considering the amount of content. Summertime Saga is earning 70 k+/month atm and it didn't happen overnight, I was there, he had minimal support until the people were convinced he's here to stay and actually put some work in the game to improve it. No matter how good your game is you need convince people with your performance and dedication, takes time to build trust. I bit the bullet and started to support the project but that's only because this game is hitting all the right buttons I have and it switched from patreon to SS.
Considering the only reason why Milda didn't change the game to suit the demands of patreon is because they were so outrageous in their demands, only then he switched. They didn't even accept this abomination;
Milda's message: So I guess this will be acceptable. MC looks like a playboy while Anna seems like a housewife.
later message: Subcribestar is only my option now. I don't want to adjust my game or work in fear. My game just started so this is a good chance. I hope things will go well. And I can do some kinky stuff too.
Thankfully, he showed some dedication to his project at last, otherwise it was going to be another case of "School of Lust" all over again and would have lost most of the potential support this project can get if he stayed on patreon, certainly wouldn't get mine.
