this is too much to ask. Too many IQ points required to even comprehend the possibility of the consumer to not want to start a whole fucking new game for a 5 min update

A pretty convenient and “objective” take on the situation. Most of the feedback about the new version is that the focus has moved away from Freya and onto side characters—but your response is basically: “That’s what Patrons are paying for, and everyone else should go touch grass.”I'll explain it in a simple way so that even those who think I'm milking the patrons who pay me for any reason can understand.
----------------
Still, I find it pointless to whine about extra and optional scenes that are only available to those who pay for them.
You grown people already know that humans need to earn money to fulfill their basic needs. I earn a part of my income from creating extra scenes.
I create extra scenes for the people who support me financially. Milking, as you guys call it. Anyway, if I don't make money from patreon, I'll have to work in other jobs. As a result, you won't see the end of that project you ADORE
You are/were a member of my patreon and you are annoyed by the extra scenes I make almost every patch? Stop paying me. Or you shouldn't have became my member without reading the patch notes.
You're not a member of my patreon and you're annoyed by the extra scenes for Patrons that I make almost every patch? You guys need to touch grass.
I guess I'll have to touch the grass too. I shouldn't have taken this site too seriously. Anyway, have fun everyone.
What I don’t understand is, if the Patrons are really happy, then why does every new version from the $13 tier keep getting leaked? In the end, not just Patrons, but everyone plays the version with extra scenes anyway.
I do enjoy your work and the game itself. The main issue isn’t that some scenes are for Patrons only. The problem is that, with or without them, there’s very little progress with Freya’s character or scenes involving her.
But of course, the reason you’re not earning as much as you could—despite having such a big audience—must be the fault of people who “can’t touch grass,” not the flawed monetization system, where people feel disappointed with what they paid for and end up sharing it for free.
I really want to see how the story ends, and I hope this project doesn’t get abandoned. I’d also be happy if you had more Patrons and a higher income.
But right now, the new release has already been leaked for the third or fourth time, and new users are joining because they see Patrons sharing the version early—and with extra scenes.
Take a break, touch some grass, and try to look at the game from the outside.
Would you be okay, after 10 months of development, seeing characters like Jeremiah, Freya, and Samuel—only to realize Freya still doesn’t even have a sex scene? And that’s when the first sex scene could easily be the middle of the story.
Instead, you’re getting scenes with side characters and for free, because Patrons are apparently so satisfied that they leak the paid version every time.
I now have 90 samuel tier and 77 uxor tier members. And now I've got my peak earnings. So the patrons are happy that their support for me is always increasing.
Your question would be more meaningful If I had a magic wand that could make everyone happy.
Yes.

I checked just to be sure. Your Patreon stats have repeated the same pattern since February.
Back in January, you had 228 paid subscriptions. In February, with the 0.4b release, you gained 50 more. I assume many people subscribed to the higher tiers just to play the new release sooner.
However, that version was leaked—and from Pixeldrain alone, 0.4b’s samuxor build was downloaded over 3,000 times.
In March and April, your numbers stayed around 230. Then on April 26, you posted an update here with release dates, farmed more traffic, and gained another wave of Patrons. The latest data shows a +50 increase again, though it might be higher since the stats for the 30th aren't out yet.
And again, you’re losing potential traffic due to leaks—Pixeldrain shows 1,800 downloads for the 0.5a version already.
The pattern is easy to see.
Considering that it wasn’t just a regular build that got leaked, but the version with the most content, it’s likely your income peak won’t grow any further for closest months.
Because your most profitable “product” is essentially early access, and that’s where about 1/5 of your total subscriptions come from—specifically those buying the uxor and samuel tiers.
I don’t have a Patreon myself, so maybe my opinion doesn’t matter. But I’d really like you to take an honest look at how much traffic you’re getting from this platform(f95)—and how poorly it's being monetized.
I get that money is the main motivation for any developer to keep going. That’s why I hope you’ll not only continue offering early access, but also fill each release with enough content to hold those who paid for it to not leak it.
You can't please everyone, but most people here have the same complaint about the game.
They started playing because of Freya, but instead of her, they’re getting extra scenes with others(absolute majority for free).
You have your own vision of how Freya’s corruption should unfold—and that vision is what keeps people interested in the game.
But those thousands of people who wait for each new release also have their own expectations for how much new content(and about who) there should be after months of waiting.

You have no idea about Patreon. As you say, your opinion doesn't matter. At the peak of the previous patch, it's twice what I'm earning now.
And you're still insisting on the leak topic. Dude, every game with a little bit of popularity gets leaked sooner or later. And I don't have the power to make everyone happy.

Actually, learn to read. It's sad when an adult reads the words but misses the meaning.
Looks like fate won't separate us
Okey, dude. You should stop talking as an emissary for thousands of people.
I, too, was playing only cos of Freya for up to now. But why is that? Cos she's a redhead? Certainly not because she has big tits - everyone have big tits in this game.

thanks for answering his question. I'll wait till the next one to check it out while I don't mind cheating it's just a path I play just for the sake of seeing content and not a main path for me
