Are you sure? The last few comments on that post I linked make it seem like it's still inaccessible.
Actually the website now just throws up a 500 Internal Server Error.

I was able to go to it when I posted it, just didn't have a patreon donating to log into. But you are right, can't even get to the site now. Wish he would post more on what the hell is going on.
EDIT: Aaannnndd I can enter the site again...
EDIT 2: Apparently it is fixed now
You must be registered to see the links

Looks like it's still broken from that link. The last comment says the download buttons aren't working.
The patreon page has a new post too that says the release site is under maintenance. It's locked to Patrons though, so I can't access it to see exactly what's going on.

Its official, this creator is possibly one of the most sensitive souls we'll ever see making a porn game. The person will even go as far as to remove an entire post they made just to be rid of the comment section of people rightfully complaining on having to pay a whopping fucking $295 just to even see his update on what is actually wrong(Or complain about yet again, another late release). Because thats exactly what he has just done, and not only that but yet again makes another post requiring $295 to even totally see and post comments. Ensuring that the only ones that will are the whales that will support this game until the end.
This person needs to hire some fucking feedback and PR person to do this because its obvious they have zero clue on what to do and what they are doing on that front. As a former Patron this is exactly part of the tomfoolery that caused me to cancel my sub in the first place. Helius, you seriously need to grow some fucking balls and know when to bite the bullet and realize people will be disappointed/angry, work on fixing it and releasing it without trying to silence criticism because it only starts more fires. Its like having a house fire, only to add oil to it and cause a forest fire. Your house is already on fire, don't burn down the entire damn forest too.
There, rant over and hopefully along with this fuckery but I doubt it.

Yeah this is getting pretty weird, but the thing is the dev actually showed up in this thread a couple months ago and said he doesn't even mind people pirating the game, then he turns around and makes this big mess of the release. I don't understand why he felt the need to do this convoluted release thing with a custom website instead of just posting a download like he did before.
Using a vive on 1.30 aswell, but the game has no audio :/ (other apps work fine)

Pretty sure the dev is still around under another alias. if you follow when the dev exited and a new user entered its pretty obvious
Regardless, I dont blame the way the dev is acting. We are getting stuff here for free technically pirated. Should be more grateful

Speak for yourself and reread my comment. I was a patron but cancelled it because of these exact way he does things. I'm speaking about the way he treats his own patrons not pirates. The people actually pay him. Who the hell closes down a post because of too much criticism after a straight year of releasing shit late all the time only to release it late again and then with no answer....but wait....there was and guess how you could see it? By paying $295 just to see the damn post on what is actually happening, thats how he does things to his own supporters. Part of the issue is because of him setting up that stupid custom site in the first place, all it does is hurt the people actually supporting him. (If anybody thinks this is actually a effective way of combating piracy....well you are stupid). And this whole lack of communication fiasco and late release happened because of that site. The bug he had to fix was fixed early and still couldn't be released because of the site.
TLDR Patrons=/=Pirates
Complain or comment about people complaining all you want but don't misrepresent whats actually being said here.

Same the game is nice but i just can't support this anymore after he implemented this heavy DRM shit which only hurts his Patreons and the other stunts he pulled.
The communication issues continue...am I crazy or does it seem like the most recent update read as an indirect "Fuck off, I bet you all hate me, fuck you!" to the community? I'll throw this project money once it's finished and the 'buy and be done with it' price is actually reasonable instead of 95USD...but if I was actually subbed I'd have instantly cut my losses with that last update.
He needs a PR team that speaks native English, stat.

Yeah, im also a patron. Update was a huge disappointment, to say the least. .All we got after all that trouble is a few lame positions and another way to change the hair color. No other character as promised, no other clothing. Now we have to wait for onther month to get what was promised. He takes 8€ for the download each month. Come on. For that I would have expected more. The whole DRM is time wasted that could be used to make the game better. Only because there are people getting the game for free does not mean that they would be buying it otherwise. Focus on the game, not the DRM. The game is not so good yet that everyone wants it.
A little history lesson: There was a time when every Audi-CD had the strongest DRM measures. You couldn't ever play your CD in your car or covert it into mp3. The music industry realized that they were punishing their own customers and today almost every Audio-CD is without DRM. Thats a lesson learned.
When you have a patreon business the most important thing should be to make the customers happy. I dont know how many high profile 295$ customers are supporting this project and how happy they are. All I can tell you is if there isnt good content coming fast, this is probably the last month that I supported it.
