I don't know where you saw that they were "losing money because of disappointed subscribers". From graphteon, they had an income growth in September 2024 and it has been mostly stable since that date. Which seems pretty positive considering a good chunk of people tends to only (re)subscribe when a new update is dropped.I've played a lot of similar games since I found this one, and I've noticed a major difference - this game isn't just about raising some main "lewdness" stat to progress in a straight line.
This game lets you progress just by sitting on the couch and waiting for days to pass. And when you get up, it gives you a rich set of stats to play with. There's no single "winning combination" to move forward, no correct path. Every combination of choices opens some routes and closes others, which makes it incredibly replayable. It all feels very organic. You can't be smart and dumb at the same time - and being smart doesn't mean you're weak. If you're dumb and everyone takes advantage of you for lewd stuff, it doesn't mean you're lewd - you're just dumb. The game really lets you see gradual changes in the character's personality and how the world reacts to those changes. That's super cool.
Honestly, I'd totally be on board if they made the whole game just a 7-day prologue - but more complex and polished - and launched a new Patreon project to build a full RPG out of it. There are already some worrying signs - that the devs are getting tired, that they’re starting to lose motivation, and that they're losing money because of disappointed subscribers on Patreon and other platforms. It would be a real shame if such a great project were to fall apart. Maybe it's time to lower the bar to a more realistic level and release version 1.0 with just the prologue.
