I get your frustration (it is the same for lots of users in this forum) but these type of games where there is just a single developer might not even be their core work and they just work their part time. That's why the Patreon system works for them since people could support their work for a while or only when there is any new updates/work. And stop for the rest of the time. But yeah, a year or more delay is no good but this game did have an update I believe a few months back too.I know mate , I know...
Thats why Im just here for few months usually when I have free time
You are correct and wrong.
You see this kind of (as I said - 11 months updates delay) was in this, and many other games literally after third big update. It means just because now u see fully almost finished games- imagine ppl who played from start and wait to see new updates 6 or 10 moons out there . Dont be shallow. When I started to play these games I was 5 years younger my knee was healthy and I played football. I was here in 2014 too LOL. Just quit on site from time to time or when I switch to new windows or buy new PC last decade I create new accounts and pop in to see whats goin on.
Now for the correct part :
yep. U R rite cuz many games milking without even action, at least this game hit the point with sex and other things activity, so its ok NOW - NOW !! But as I said, wasnt ok to wait it throughout the years.
Usually tactics of 'em are the same :
If they create good solid product to sell, they release 1 demo, or 1st beta or alpha or whatever they call those games, and after that usually solid fast first couple of update lets say 2 or 3...and if they see that fans or followers and Patreons like it, they continue to prolong & milk 1 by 1 after that third update. In other word, while they milk from that game, they start another project so thats why updates on other already full steam started games turned into delay more than 5 to 11 months.
Also, these games aren't charging a whole single sum for the finished product like what the game company does.
And this model helps them to sustain the game development too. They aren't here to sell good solid products take this as a long beta process which helps them to develop a solid product. Also, they don't have a big team behind to sustain them while they develop beta/alpha releases as you mention. There has to be a solid investment for developers to work in that development lifecycle. Truth be told they cannot earn that much with the big games development model for these types of adult VN games, subscription-based does wonders for small game developers, and the market scope is very small than your regular games.
Just my two cents.
