I agree, I love his works but I don't think this will turn out good.
If he's already burn out and stress out on one game and now two game for a one person? That will even be harder. Now maybe 1 update per year per game?

Hmm, which is canon? Landlady or mother?
Is there any way to know in the future for other games? Where would the creators normally state which is canon?

Yeah, I really hope Ero gets some feedback from Patreon supporters unless clarifying if this game is a smaller scope project or something. I just have a bad feeling about all this.
Pretty sure it has nothing to do with Demon Boy. Pretty sure Ero just put that together to give an idea of what the minigame for the new game is going to be like.

Hey guys!
Apologies for skipping last week's post, but I was feeling a bit under the weather both physically and mentally.
After spending a couple of days doing some difficult soul-searching, I realized I'd been pushing myself to spend all my time and attention on one thing for so long, that I had difficulty getting much fulfillment from it anymore.
Now, it's not the first time this happened to me. And I know that usually, it helps if I'm able to move away from it for a while to focus my attention on something else and find other ways of being creative.
That's why I decided to go ahead and launch the development of a different game. It's an idea I've been playing with for a while now, and I'm really looking forward to working on it.
Here's some info about the new game:
- The game revolves around a young guys, who's a model photographer. His life gets mixed in with a girl from his class and her celebrity "landlady" after which more and more hot photo gigs will present themselves to him. Now, I can't say much more about the plot, but I think you'll guys enjoy it. For a title, I was thinking I'd call it "Lewd Photographer"...
- The points and choice system will be different than Demon Boys. It's going to be much simpler and hopefully more intuitive.
- The game has an arcade element. I've been working on a mini-game/skill check that will trigger every time the player does a photo shoot with one of the characters. Completing the skill checks successfully for each picture will allow the player to continue further into the photo shoot and unlock hotter and hotter scenes.
- As you may have noticed from the title of this post, the graphics will be improved significantly. Check out the character previews that I've added to this post and make sure to let me know your thoughts!
And last but not least... Don't worry guys. Demon Boy development will continue! For next week you can expect another update. Only now, I'll share news on both games.
I hope you guys understand.
Love,
Ero
(My P.SI don´t really like the idea of him working on two games at the same time, don't wanna have only one demon boy update per year.

mother, it's only landlady to get around patreons puritanical rules.
the clue is the fact the ipatch is an empty .txt file renamed to patch.rpy, the correct naming is already in game hiding behind a trigger.
as for other games? it's game by game, just look through the forums, but typically "landlady" = mother, "mother's friend" = aunt, "roommate" = sibling.

He says the problem was on the creative side so i see no reason to not believe on him. Taking his mind from Demon Boy for a bit may actually help with getting fresh ideas.
There are a few developers who work like that around here.

Skipping updates, starting development of a second game, feeling under the weather physically and mentally... These are excellent indicators this game is dying.
Yeah that may be the case but I don't think he realize the consequences or what he may need to work on two games at the same time. First of all like the dude that brought Oceanlab as an example, one of the main reasons Ocean is able to work on both games is due to multiples work station, helping the traffic of renders and animations while he codes and writes the plot and we know that he recently upgraded his PC so i don't think he has another work station. Second his work time will need to increase if he wants to reach two DB updates per year, his maximun renders in a week has been 50+ and 5 animations if he maintains this numbers thats mean a decline in DB development, when updates are taking 6 months cutting resources it will probably take to 8 or 9 months for a single update, in which case his patreon income will take a big hit and we are not talking of the bigger chance of a Burn out. And Lastly this all comes after a few weeks back patreon asked him to censor his game to be able to operate in their platform, the fact that this new game seems to be patreon friendly indicates for me that Ero is making a plan B in case he can't work on DB anymore, smart of him but equally dumb considering your whole fan base is build from a single game. Best case scenario if DB cease to receive updates he will conserve a fourth of his total patreon backing worst case scenario he starts from scratch again.He says the problem was on the creative side so i see no reason to not believe on him. Taking his mind from Demon Boy for a bit may actually help with getting fresh ideas.

What are you talking about "Summer's gone" gets consistent update yes but have you seen when was "Where it all Began" latest update (10 months ago). Working on two games is not easy and will lead eventually to making one of them a side game especially if you are one game dev. This will delay the process of DB by a lot and seeing that CH4 was released 5 months ago and we are still nowhere close to getting CH5,with this new game that he has in mind we will eventually get 1 update per year instead of 2(which is already hard to wait for). I would rather him taking some time off than spending it on a new game and slowing DB dev time.
