I'm glad you think that. That's what I use it for, also.




A coin always has two sides.
That's exactly my point. Think about it: if you are called out for something and don't have the facepalm, which shows disrespect to your comment. You can't use an angry emoji because that would show being called out wounded you. What's the alteritive?
Laughing, Emjoi. (Haha, You didn't wound me, seeing I'm laughing at you) It's a mask to cover the pain.

I agree the angry Emjoi is bullshit.
The problem for me is: with that I don't have a laughing one anymore. Because if I really find a post funny and using it the original poster can't be sure anymore because maybe I'm facepalming him... The better fitting one for me is actually the "yay, new update" as an replacement from the emoji itself. But imo still not fitting enough.

Well, with all the discussion here now I'm not sure anymore if I maybe already got facepalmed...
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have opened this can of worms I guess. The clowns are sneaky bastards. :cautious:

Totally love the game, the idea of always struggling between lust and morality is very intriguing (y) Combining this with nice graphics, animations and good sounds (moans), makes this game worth following and awaiting :love:

I have to agree. I am not usually into the more voluptuous women, but in this case there is just the correct mix of innocents, perversion and such just downright undefinable attraction.

just go and support the dev with $5...it means a lot and these games cost a lot of time and money to make, $5 every few months isn't a lot to ask, is it?
That may be but this is a place of piracy.
So what payment?
Fuck Patreon and it's business model.
I want to fap!
FOR FREE!!!!

I wouldn't say that. People who are going to get it free are going to get it free, if they don't support they should but probably never will. At the very least they help spread the word and provide free advertising for the game.

I for one read one of your replies and decided to see for myself what TP was up to since the last time I visited this VN. It was a pleasant surprise to see the game was no longer labeled as abandoned, so I subscribed. Happily I really love the state of this game and the storyline is excellent at least to me. So thanks to you I subbed and I'll stay subbed for awhile to see how things progress.

People who are going to support will support but even those that don't monetarily support still have some value in promoting the game, even though I agree I wish more people would sub but it is what it is.

I Used to Sub to quite a few games that i liked including Trashpanda when he was on Patreon, but i got disillusioned with the whole system when the devs were always coming up with excuses why the game was slow, I've been sick, Real life/work situation came up excreta, i know this can happen but did the devs ever suspend payments for a month while this was going on, nope the kept taking the money, i bet was same for trashpanda he knew he was moving work house so could have stopped taking payments for a month but i bet he didn't. Its to easy to blame people for not wanting to support them when stuff like this goes on.

You have a point, and if you subscribe I also would expect at least regular monthly reports on the work as it progresses. Some devs are amazing at communication some are horrible. I see my support for a VN as support for it giving me a little of what I wanted and the ongoing story is why I remain a subscriber until I no longer think I'm getting what I want from the game.

If you had of told me I would ever be a supporter of this VN when I first saw it I would have laughed in your face. I did keep the thread on watch however and I see the extreme amounts of progress this game has made and frankly I am stounded at the turn around. I will maintain support for at least 3-4 more months if there is communication to the subscribers, and then depending on the next update I will continue it even further.

Trust is built up and a dev can learn from games like Being a Dik and Desert Stalker, Desert Stalker I haven't played in damned near a year or maybe more but I am a sub all of that time, because the dev is active and communicates. I did the same with Being a Dik, until he switch graphics programs and the silver teeth started and the bad hairstyles so I stopped but I'm not upset it just stopped giving what I wanted so I still love the game but I don't support it anymore.

Then their is my all time favorite story VN, Luna's fall from grace, I was a red handed full bore pirate when I was playing it, then the game completed and I realized the entertainment value I had gotten but never rewarded the developers at all. So I went to there Patreon and tossed them $100 for my appreciation of there creation, it didn't put a dent in my financial situation but I'm hoping it helped them.

Right now I have high hopes for Esra and can't wait to see more. My biggest fear is he will switch over to 6 months of the Prison guard and we wont see an update here for a year. My fingers are crossed he doesn't go down this path.

To me removing the FacePalm is just silly and the equivalent of Youtube removing the dislike button lol.
If we really wanted to face palm we could just...

Facepalm View attachment 3663502 or View attachment 3663503 facepalm or my favorite
View attachment 3663507

DOUBLE FACE PALM!!

Anyone have any idea what update will come next, will it be ESRA or The Prison Guard?? I'm really hoping for another ESRA update. She seems to be struggling to maintain a good girl status with her boyfriend but if you make the wrong (RIGHT) choies she seems to end up on the business end of some characters Johnson. :ROFLMAO:
I never facepalmed anyway. In the longterm the site just recorded it as another 'like'. Ultimately, you were rewarding somebody for saying something you totally disagreed with. I'm sure some people deliberately said controversial things, just so people would facepalm them and thus boost their reaction scores.

Your probably right in a sense, but I never understood the gratification of having a high post count or reaction score, as far as I can tell we don't win any prizes for it lol.

Now I have to go back on topic before a mod skewers me, ON TOPIC - I loved the last update of Esra in Istanbul so much I signed up as a sub, but now the dev is finishing a Prison Guard update. Any long time subs have an idea what is the devs update cadence? Will Esra see another update this year or do you think the Prison guard will get all the attention and be the last update for this year?
