Do you think devs are loosing patreons because of this delay and will the lost patreons would resubscribe when the 1 month is released? I mean 1 month will have no new content it will just have some additional features but no new content i am asking you this since you have been a patreon.Week One took just under 5 months. The final release of Day 7 was on March 24, and the final release of Week One was on August 18. Amusingly, the final update concluded by noting that "The next merge (Month 1) will only take as much time as 1 game update."
I don't think that the devs are milking their patrons or running some kind of scam, or anything... but I don't trust anything they say, either. Not after hearing for months about all the benefits that the first merge was going to bring (and yes, I was a member of their Patreon during that entire period).
I'm sure they're losing patrons due to the delay. I suspect that many of those will resubscribe when new content starts getting released again.Do you think devs are loosing patreons because of this delay and will the lost patreons would resubscribe when the 1 month is released?

It will be sometime before they can recover the numbers. And will depend greatly on how things go after subsequent releases if they go back to schedule or not. The bigger questions will be if they learned from this experience and if this delay and stress will have burned them out.I'm sure they're losing patrons due to the delay.

Even before BlueCat had a team of people working on this, it had a crazy amount of content. I think that with the current team, once they have the base straitened out, the content will come back at the same pace and many of the Patrons who dropped will come back. It sucks for everyone that it is taking this long to clean up the code but they will have a better product at the end.It will be sometime before they can recover the numbers.

Like I said. Depends. In my experience with games doing something like this it rarely works out. What will most likely happen is he will regain the numbers through new patrons, but most of the former will already be allocating that money to a new project. This may seem like no loss, but in reality the new patrons would have been that many more instead of recouping numbers.Even before BlueCat had a team of people working on this, it had a crazy amount of content.

Given the scope of the game as envisioned, it needs a solid base and things like having a functioning index of characters and a way to make the save system work with the planned merges. Look at all the complaints about Cyberpunk 2077, even large professional studios have difficulties hitting release dates with all the functionality they promised. I think most players understand that and will come back when the release is done.
Tbh, I think the previous amount of patrons with pale in comparison to what will be achieved after an update or two, when the merge is released. Having said that, I doubt Blue Cat makes this game simply for more money than other large projects on here. I don't think that'll be a priorityLike I said. Depends.

I'm a big fan of the game mind you, but I am taking special notice of the business side of this particular situation because there is a big lesson to be learned there. I'm sure Bluecat will still be a success reguardless when he returns, its how much(specifically how much the changes themselves) I'm curious about.
For week 3 days 15-21 look for the DM Day 20+21 Final (yes it was poorly named).Noob question, which is the right DM patch for the week3final download? i'm assuming it's not one of the individual day (ie 15-17) ones?
What made you want to kill her?Just started the game. Not quiet done with week 1 (late day 5). Am I the only one who really wants to kill Hiroko? She's my least favorite character. Needs a divorce option.
As one of the lost patrons, personally I'm not going to resubscribe when month one comes out. Specially since there is no new content and it took way longer than it should of (according to them). However, a couple of releases after that, once they've shown they're back in the flow of things I'll become a patron again. After all, when they're not doing a merger they are one of the most prolific devs I know. Having said that, after the mess they made with both week 1 and month 1 mergers the second they announce the next merger I'll pause my patronage.Do you think devs are loosing patreons because of this delay and will the lost patreons would resubscribe when the 1 month is released?

He probably sees her as a c*ck block and in the way of the others, at the startShe is sweet why do you wanna kill her dude?

We'll find a way to bring her onboard the harem train.well yeah
Who wants to shag generic big-titty anime wife when you could be banging insatiable loli daughters?
The month one merger WILL have new content. Only three weeks are out now, and its the MONTH one merger. Hence, they are not only working on fixing bugs, implementing the systems theyd been promising and merging the first three weeks, but they are also adding a whole week's worth of content. Not saying you should resubscribe, thats your choice of course, but you are wrong about the new content.As one of the lost patrons, personally I'm not going to resubscribe when month one comes out.
