It's the big risk a team like LJ is taking by moving to a bi-monthly release schedule. I understand and approve of their decision to do it from a creative and work/life balance perspective, but as a patron it's tough to swallow. For now I've kept my support the same, but I'm taking a leap of faith. I figure I should have a better feel for Shale Hill Secrets after three episodes, but that's going to take roughly six months. So that's a lot of time and money to spend on faith. In hindsight, while I think DH was a good game, I'm not sure I would have supported it all the way through. So I'm hoping that the team takes SHS in a new direction from their previous works.

That is a trouble with the Patreon model. Even if you're financially sound, after awhile you realize that you have paid $100, $200, $500 over the course of a year or two for a video game. Eventually, no game is worth that much.
10 bucks per month = 120 bucks (+taxes every month) per year and it takes 2 years to finish game so that 240 bucks +taxes and add few (5-10) more games to that so at worst it's 100 bucks per month and 1200 (+taxes) bucks per year and not many can't afford to pay 100 bucks (+taxes) per month for a game and if dev abandons game after year then paid (or pays if dev keeps billing open and payer doesn't notice that project got abandoned) 120 bucks from nothing.

10 bucks 2 maybe 3 times per year is better for all except devs.

Hmmm... Chapter 18 for free from yesterday?
From what I remember, it was already available for free on the love-joint.com website in January. Now it's time for Chapter 19 and the Epilogues.
...unless there is a hero with an offline gift :love:

Chapter 18 was only available here, not officially on Love-Joint. Chapter 19 and Epilogues are placed behind a Patreon password, so if you want to see it early you will need to support.
well here and everywhere where it was leaked.

You are convinced that you know what you are saying ...
...but I played Chapter 18 of this game at in January.
Is this a pirate site? I don't think so.
P.S. Remember that everything before the "but" doesn't matter ;)

I can assure you that you didn't play Episode 18 from the 'Our Games' section on our blog earlier than this month - you may have played it through our URL from a leaked link, but not directly from our blog.
