Update

First of all I wanted to apologize for taking that long to tell you what is going on and why it's taking so long for me to deliver the next episode.

I'm stil not prepared to give details but, for of multiple factors, I'm going through a difficult moment in my life. And because of that I simply can't create. It's been hard for me to sit and write, code or render right now.

I think I kept postponed this announcement cause I wanted to bring good news with it. Like a release date. So I decided to pause the billing cycle until I get my shit back together.

At this moment, I got 300 renders done and more 200 to do give it or take. I still have to write the end of the episode and code everything together. So, when I get back to work I believe I'll take 2 weeks to finish it.

I'm deeply sorry guys. I'll try to keep you posted more often from now on.

Just stay healthy. The world will wait. It's just a game after all. :)

How comes that adult game developer is one of the less healthy and most dangerous job in the world? In fact, most adult game developers, after some months, start to be affected by depression, mental breakdown and other serious physical and/or mental illnesses. In other cases, they, or some of their dears, fall victim of serious accidents up to suicide.

Note to everyone: better be a cop in a Brazilian favela than an adult game developer.

At first I was thinking exactly the same thing: It seems being a porn game dev is the riskiest profession in the world; miners, soldiers, even gladiators have it much easier .
But then I got to the part where he says he's pausing the billing cycle. Perhaps you missed that part, certo?

I love you. Don't worry, pal. People from first world countries don't know how hard it is.
Actually some of us in first world countries vey well know how hard it is, because we work everyday with folks overseas. Writing, images, animations, coding, music, testing, all to build a game. That's hard enough for a first world team of half a dozen people. Solo anywhere is an insane challenge, solo outside the first world is at least a half an order of magnitude more difficult.

Palemaster. Sort out your real life. The game can wait, and you've produce an excellent game. Most of us will wait until you can come back to it. I hope it's soon not for the game, but because I sincerely hope you fix the far more important real life issues.
Good luck.

My struggles has nothing to do with being a porn game dev. They are just keeping me from doing it properly, unfortunately. Cause I have to focus in something else right now.
Sorry for whatever is going on, really. Don't listen to the very few that make rude comments. Making a game, such as Elysion, is a labor of love, not a 9-5 job, plus you need your head in the right spot to create, so don't worry if you have to delay things.

Most of us have been there, at least in our own way, where we are overwhelmed by difficulties in life, so work becomes difficult. Hang in there. We will all be here for you whenever you decide to continue development.

I wish you all the best, and thanks for all your work so far in Elysion, which is one of the gems here.

I got my Patreon receipt on Sunday, and Palemaster did what he promised and paused billing. Considering the last release was just in May, I would've had no problem if he kept billing me longer. This shows his concern for his followers. This type of integrity only encourages me to keep supporting him if he decides to continue Elysion.

Thanks man. And I'll keep it paused until I release the next update. It was not an easy decision. This money was important. But in the end I put myself in my patrons shoes and realized that wouldn't be fair to charge people who like my work when I'm on a break. But don't worry I'm not letting anyone down. Surprisingly I still get some donations from itch.io and new patrons. And this is motivating me to get back on my feet.
I'll continue to tell this story sooner rather than later.

I can't speak for other patrons, but I think you're being unfair to yourself if you pause billing until the next release. At the very least, you should activate billing as soon as you begin working on the project again. Anyway, thanks again for looking out for your supporters. More importantly, I hope you're doing well.

Not a patron but I agree... I am no longer a patron of anyone, because I am tired of Patreon, but I would expect to be charged when there is active development and open communication. Don't want a developer to rush an update if they are desperate for money. (not saying that is happening here).

Hang in there, it gets worse before it gets better, nothing good in this world is won without a fight, and you can't appreciate true happiness without experiencing sadness. Everyone has a personal life and their own baggage, with its accompanying difficulties, people tend to forget that fact online. Please take your time sorting out your problems and getting back to a positive state of mind, we all can wait a few more weeks. Without you we won't get to play your awesome VN, so please don't be in a hurry to get back to work, your health, safety and sanity come first. I wish you nothing but the best, take care! :)

Just played this for the first time, it's great - GOOD JOB :)

Personally I really like the women reacting sometimes with suspicion/jealousy to others, it makes them feel more like real actual humans and that's more interesting and sexier than just the sort of pliant sex dolls who'll do whatever the main character wants that a lot of games have

Can't wait for another update to this one. About the daughter being a LI or not, I think she will be eventually, since she already has her own point pool. I just hope that I'd that is the case that she ends up being a very slow burn. This seems like one of those games where it should be a very slow process.
Not all relationships with points need to evolve into a sexual relationship. I'm fine with the daughter never being a love interest considering the large and growing number of potential love interests in the game. I am also fine with her being one if we can turn her down without it causing a problem with the relationship.

Really looking forward to an update.

I would hope that you have an option to not even pursue and just be a good father to her. But either way I'll agree there is alot of LI at the moment. I would have been happy with a max of like 5, we are well beyond that now.
Was on the fence about trying this out, but lately have been more into mini-harems/throuples over larger harems/open relationships, I am interested in seeing if the estranged daughter angle will be a slow burn while being with the other girls in the mean time or if she just stays more or less a background character. Either way isn't a deal-breaker, just curious what the plans will be for her character.
