If Cari put out updates with 5 minutes of playtime every month or so people would complain they are to short
I'm sure there are plenty I'm not tracking, but there's only one dev I've encountered that puts out updates monthly: ILS Productions (currently working on TOXICity). They're more than 5 minutes, but they are pretty short compared to Eternum, Ripples, etc. The folks on that thread don't seem to mind, but it's also a much smaller world.

For myself, I'm not inclined to complain about what I get for free.

I'm not in a position where I can afford to fund every game I like on F95, but if I could, I would definitely do so for this game.

I don't play Renpy games very often because I prefer Unity and Unreal Engine games, but I have to say that this game is one of the best I've played.

I still prefer it when he takes his time to make quality updates.

So far, I haven't seen any bugs or technical issues, except for the French translation.

The real problem, in my opinion, is that it's impossible to chat on Discord if you're not a Patreon subscriber. This greatly hinders contribution to the story or its community, as not all of us can afford to pay.

Otherwise,it would be impossible to moderate over 100k people when you have just an one mod,not to mention bots and everything.Money you pay add some kinda responsibility.Afair remember,it was free before Eternum got really popular,but I might be wrong:unsure:

This can be easily solved if time is invested in this project. I can understand that a developer doesn't want to devote themselves to organizing a staff, but it can sometimes be necessary or mandatory when the site becomes well-known. They can recruit an assistant administrator who would be responsible for carefully recruiting moderators. It's possible; just look at F95zone, which has over 2 million users, and yet they're doing just fine.

It was free before dipshits started to go on spam runs and started posting pirated links of the higher tier versions of the game to channels where the public subs frequented. Mods kept getting swamped, so Cari decided to turn Discord to paid sub only, which was welcomed by just about everyone there who just wanted peace and quiet.

Just cut the content and push faster updates. We don't need 2500+ renders and 3 arcs per update. Thankfully Cari is aiming for smaller updates after 0.9.

Smaller means a return to something along the lines of 0.5 tho, so it's still sizeable all things considered.

This dispute is pointless. Approx 2500 stilts update + 30-40 animations in a year is SLOW no matter how you look at it. As for how justified, this speed is depends on the person. If the majority of patrons think it is than nothing we can do considering we have no impact on the matter. Deal with it.

Smaller release cycles could also mean less play-tests and more errors. not all this time is just renders and compiling.

As long as the story doesn't make a nose dive I don't have a problem with a 9-12 mouth release windows (within reason that is)
