If you're my age you realize they were never the shiz. We were just young and didn't know any better. =P

How has someone NOT created an alternative to patreon already? It can't be that hard for anyone remotely capable of programming(which I am most certainly not, otherwise i'd do it)

Because reportedly, the hard part is payments. To create site like Patreon is relatively easy, if it's the code and stuff. To get the payments going is not. The more questionable content you allow, the more difficult it will be, starting with being more expensive, or it won't fly at all.

The first few episodes of Three's Company her character Chrissy was really into Jack. The writers realized that could lead to problems and rewrote her as dumb. She was the shiz for those episodes.
Patreon does however seem to be committed in some degree to maintaining NSFW content. We recently received an email from Patreon that they've shifted billing for NSFW content to Britain so they can continue service.
I don't understand all the particulars of that statement, but it's what they told us.

Yep, it's possible that Patreon are actually the good guys (sort of, at least) and it's just that someone else has them by the balls. And I don't understand the Britain part either. If you'd be looking for porn-friendly country, you would not pick Britain. Ok, I'm not an expert, but all I hear from that country is always about yet another law to censor naughty stuff. But there are situations where I'm happy to be mistaken.
I was told PayPal threatened to pull their access if Patreon didn't ban incest, etc. As I recall, some other credit card processors also had such restrictions. Honestly, I'm surprised. You don't often see business dabbling in ethics.
But that would explain why it's hard to get another, similar service started. You'd have to exclude a lot of the popular payment options.
Open question to everyone:
In cleaning up the OP, I'm thinking it would help if we added an approximate play time. Just curious, how long do you think it took you to play through the existing content?
Minus any time in self pleasure of course.

Progress
Can't believe that September has come and gone already. I'm pleased to report that we are moving along at a good pace with Monica's update. We've gotten over half of her renders produced. We still have about a third or so to produce, but all of images with complicated poses have been completed.
Thus the final third of her images should go faster than the first two-thirds. When the variances consist of facial manipulations and gestures, they tend to go pretty quick.
We've already completed 60 images for the scene and are estimating we'll have just over a 100. Clearly producing the visuals is what takes the bulk of our production time, but as people on our discord will verify, we work on them constantly throughout the week.
Current Poll
Six days left in our current poll. The poll is to determine whose chapter we work on next along side Lupita's update. Topping the list right now is Jane with a 4 vote lead over Cassie. Amanda and Lupita are not far behind.
So if you have a preference in the outcome of this poll, don't hesitate! For $5 you can get in on this action and help nudge the development one way or the other.
And if you're already a $5 patron, don't forget to cast your vote

We'll be live on Discord again tonight from 9:00pm to 11:00pm EST.
Feel free to join us as we answer questions, shoot the breeze and throw out some test renders.
What's Next
We'll continue pushing through for the next couple of days while we wrap up Monica's update, and then move on to Lupita and the poll winner.
We've buttoned up the missing animations for Emily's bath scene and created one for Monica's as well. We're estimating it will take about 45 hours to render out all of the images necessary for the animation.
We'll try to squeeze them into this next update. If not, we'll throw in some code that will allow us to release a mini-animation update between updates so that you can just dump those files into the folder and they'll activate. Let us play around a bit and we'll hammer out a solution.

I read pretty slowly, sometimes look at pics pretty long, and also try all the different options for 100% completion. So i guess not really a "standard player". Nonetheless, i'd say it took me something like a 20-30 min overall.
Glad I have a tool to remove some screenshots from posts.

Play time for me was super fast but that is because most characters I use to like are now on my ignore list and since you are now forced to play each person instead of being allowed to pick which ones you want to play I turned on my idle clicker and spammed past the ones that I no longer had any interest in anymore super fast.

Thanks for the input. It's still helpful for building out an average.
That is...super un-helpful. But thanks for reminding me once again how much you dislike the characters, story and structure of our game. I'll make a note in the OP, if you hate the characters and the writing, playtime = "super fast"
Cheers Mates!

Hee. "When devs drop veneer"
Quite enjoyable.
I've not timed myself playing the game. There have been quite a few in between last update and most current. Plus, I can't be sure if I am adding in rollback to different choices, but...I'll put the full-read estimate at about 30 minutes.

Also not forget to mention that i was skipping the scenes i already seen in this update, so i'm adding their time roughly. I guess completely new players can estimate whole playthrough better.
Sick burn.
@RomanHume
I never disliked any of them except for Monica until everything that was good was destroyed and thrown away and replaced with something else which caused me to lose interest in them. If everything hadn't been destroyed and thrown away only Monica would of been on my ignore list. Only ones I'm interested in now are the daughter and her 2 friends since they are hot and super sexy looking and still seem interesting.

We appreciate it. We're just looking for a rough estimate to set people's expectations. The way we play while debugging doesn't lend itself to a good estimate. I figure if we can establish a very rough base-line then as we add new scenes we just have to estimate on a per scene basis going forward.Also not forget to mention that i was skipping the scenes i already seen in this update, so i'm adding their time roughly.
