Sorry Chief, no can do. He/she does have some progressive ideas but more importantly also a philosophy concerning distribution of non-rival goods that I find incompatible with a civilized society and cannot, will not reward/support under any circumstances whatsoever.

I'll take that as a good-faith question, and I honestly do appreciate the attitude. However, properly arguing my (known to be rather contentious) stance on the matter would result in a serious wall of text, and this is NOT the hill I choose to die on (nor am I looking for anyone's validation - no offense). All I'm going to say is that he/she is quite vocal about their belief that only those who pay should be able to access their work, a point I strongly disagree with at the dawn of an era where a limited number of people are able to bring into existence things that an an unlimited number of people could enjoy. That's as far as I'm willing to go - again, no offense, but I'm not even going to read any further replies.

Why not read any more replies? The obscene level of hubris believing that you are somehow owed the labor of people clearly more talented than yourself is absolutely staggering. LOL

I genuinely want to know, besides coming off as a snarky asshole, if this guy has any other talents whatsoever. Then I can parlay those talents for free. He owes THE WORLD more than just his supposed pithy comments.

The games being available for free is what keeps this industry moving and growing. It's free publicity. Most, if not all, patrons have played the games for free before pledging.
I understand his side, but it's this exposure that allows him to earn as much as he does.

Didn't require any more. The ROI by allowing games here for supposed "free pub" versus lost revenue opportunities is huge. The actual conversion rate to subscribers versus thread views/pirated downloads is comical. Guys that have succeeded advertise elsewhere or find alternative sources of income via steam or whatever. End of story.

1. awesome artwork, beautifully rendered characters.
2. fantastic story, 3 distinct story paths, very well structured and well told story.
3. a titillating tale, well thought out, well written, and very erotic.
This is certainly not a click through VN ... you would miss too much good stuff. There are very very few VN's with this level of eroticism details and slow built up. the pace is excellent!
Game wise, so far no bugs.
The story board is fantastic, each art panel compliments the story, and adds details to it. Very good work, looking forward to the next update.

Nobody should owe their labor to anyone.
That said, weg is a very niche gaming genre. If it was that easy to make it, with this type of content, on mainstream platforms like steam, more devs would be doing just that. They aren't. For many devs communities like this are the best option for exposure.

Exposure/"likes" on a pirate site does NOT equate to actual future paying customers. At best these guys can trudge along as a hobby...and like this dev...gradually slow production until it potentially ends up on the "abandoned" pile with the others. Then....inevitably....people will bitch here about milking blah blah blah.
Advertise on other mediums where the target audience isn't 99.9% freeloaders (hell...there's devs that have more views on Pornhub via "let's plays" than their thread here)....have additional landing pages that allow for SEO/search engine optimization and steer people to your patreon or other means for purchase....you won't get them all, but your hit rate will be MUCH better than the 0.0000001% you get here with views.
Simple economics lesson....your target audience has to have an ability/willingness to pay...or it is a waste of time if the goal is to fund/finance a project.
