Who knows. The game still needs to be released to the public (2 days more iirc). After that, if the developer doesn't encounter any difficulties in the process v0.4 should be released about mid to late August for the highest tiers in Patreon and in September to the public.

Mc: why wont you died?!
Senator Thanatos: Gems of doom son! They give me plot armor when you grey out the path of any of the girl.
Mc: You're insane!!
Senator Thanatos: Come on now, you should be making the mother of all harem endings here MC. Can't fret over playing only one path
Why you force me to play the game with that ost on, now i'm waiting for a "It has to be this way" moment
I can't fault that approach and I have no money invested in it. Time rich, cash poor. Make of it what you will.
I do, however, recall beta phases and the sheer amount of data needing to be processed from test scripts which someone needed to write first then someone else had to run (you *never* run your own scripts. Ever) as well as regressive machine testing for original functionality and that was only on a 2k user base application. That was with a team of over 30 people. "UAT" is a curse term. Especially if you run support. Which he also does. For free. This dude is pushing burnout *always*. Just like many others.
I wish it was possible to just say "Here, I have £10 available and I think you deserve it!" rather than subscription based services which simply aren't an option for me now (not so subtle hint) but if it takes a while for me to see a release that's as good as prior without me investing money in to it? I'll take it.
You do know that you can do that with Patreon, right? Just subscribe for a month choosing any amount you'd like, then cancel. You get charged immediately, still have access to posts for the full month, and the dev gets paid. It's a very common approach.
Without knowing what their charges are and how much the creator actually receives I'm rather loathe to do that sort of thing. That and their tendency to cancel anything they don't like. Also it offends my old fashioned sensibilities. Direct cash injection, no requirement on either part, simply "I like what you're doing. Here, have some money!" sits better with me than trying to work around a system that is less than great. I've worked with low to mid level streamers, I know how much the platform takes vs the likes of PayPal. It's horrifying.
Suffice to say I'm rather loathe to contribute without knowing what proportion they actually get and I literally cannot support a monthly payment in case things go FUBAR. Again. Call me paranoid if you wish but it isn't paranoia when you have proof, that's either reasonable doubt or "I told you they were out to get me! See?!" and then stabbing happens. It's messy and cleanup is a swine but there is always fire and nobody wants that. Much.
The pricing info is publically available and extremely easy to find. Neither Patreon nor SubscribeStar takes a huge chunk. Typically, it's 8 % plus the card processing fees.
Look, this is a privacy forum and I get that some people may not be able to or interested in paying. That's fine. But the reasons you've given for not doing so aren't very good. It's easy to pay, easy to cancel, and easy to understand the payment model. You're choosing not to give a content creator $8.61 because you don't want to give Patreon $1.39. Wouldn't it be better for the developer to get $8.61 instead of zero?

You make a valid point and I simply wasn't aware of how low the percentage was. I had balance available for tier 2 right now so have done so. It'll last as long as it lasts (part of the reason I don't generally do subs is my brain is broken. Time? Meh) but I've taken on board what you said.
Not saying it'll last more than maybe 3 or 4 months as we just got buttfucked (without lube or even a reach around) on the energy bills (180% increase. It stings when you're on pensions) but as you say, that's better than nothing.

Right! It's been a full week now since last huge update!
Jokes apart, he's likely working already. He's the most motivated dev i've seen around here.

The best Ren'py based game I have ever played. Came for the H and stayed for the story. You must have invested a lot into this game.

Ooooh, nice. New Stretch Goals...
5th one would be nice to achieve. 6th...I dunno, I'm not even sure what kind of merchandise one could sell-
Brain: Stabby Mike Body Pillows.
Me: ...Okay, okay, I was wrong. There's certainly some ideas for merch he could sell-
Brain: STABBY MIKE BODY PILLOWS.
Me: OKAY, OKAY, I GET IT.

this really is a good game, only flaw is that it takes time for the dev to push out more, the anticipation in getting more can be frustrating ..
the HS in this is on steroids, quality work .... quality
story and build up is great
while I will pout about having to wait for more, I also want to say to the Dev ... take our time, keep up the quality work
