No like I said before I was paying for months when he released new versions that was June/July/August. I've learned this is the safest and only way you're not throwing away money. Yes Patreon was for some reason showing followers instead of actual supporters for the month of October IDK why. Yeah I believe everyone should be handling their finances like that, would weed out pretenders and deceivers quicker. Yeah if I was I developer and I was getting money from others I would feel obligated to communicate how I'm doing on whatever happened and how will I move forward and not so vague as he did to the point where this means an indefinite time.
That's kind of advanced stuff imo. People will naturally unsub on their own and its not his responsibility ultimately. Also he's clearly thinking about his family and not his subs 5 dollars.
Go figure such a tastefully written story was made by a dude that emotionally mature as to understand that if he doesn't focus on his family in a life and death situation will lead to a lifetime of regret.

Hey guys,
I would probably be at the side opposition if I were a player and not the dev in this situation. What happened is completely absurd and I have criticized 2 devs on their Patreon for similar occurrences, perhaps they were honest about what happened and I am experiencing the good old karma.
I don't know how you calculated that I just lost 5 supporters but outcome is I am now receiving nothing compared to what I got on an average release month. I am ashamed for still taking this money but please remember I literally quit my job at first chance for this project. I have already noted the names of the people who supported me through this, I will compensate as much as I can when I return.
I have expressed how I loved working on this, and the people who saw me here, you know how enthusiastic I am about this project. My supporters were increasing greatly in numbers with each release. It didn't reach to a great amount but I was much, much more successful compared to many other games than popped up here. This project was a newfound hope for my life. I have experienced the joy of achievement that I never experienced before. I even messaged and expressed my gratitude to the admin of F95, Sam, for literally giving me hope about my future. There is no reason for me to fake a life-long traumatizing event just to lose great amount of future money and abandon something that brought me hope.
I haven't "made the money." I haven't earned more than I made on my cashier job on my peak release month. Only logical explanation to lie about this would be to make another game without informing you, which you can ask to moderation team if they see the same IP lurking around the forum, I am sure they have the means to check this. (I once searched for netorare tag to find something to play on my phone)
About the lack of updates. I surely have access to internet. I don't know how to explain this without sounding entitled. I just don't want to make explanations about what happened in a porn forum. I don't want to engage anything related to my guilty pleasure while I am going through this. I want to separate my trauma from this project and you guys as much as I can.
I have started this project with the clearly visible mindset of "I won't be like others." I have spent ungodly amount of time by engaging with people who will never pay me on here. I will do it again, it wasn't a chore for me, I was doing it because I enjoy it. But I have seen the benefit of engaging with you guys.
I am aware that the majority of my financial supporters left because they didn't hear from me and they thought I fled and abandoned this project. If I was still seeking to milk another dollar from you through this, I would be here feeding you sweet nothings everyday. I even need the money like I never did before in my life, and trust me, logical thing would be to be as active as possible and keep my supporters through engagement while dealing with this. Yet I cannot bring myself to focus on this part of my life. My literal thoughts has been "OK, we do not think about this project now. It will temporarily crumble and people will talk shit, but I will come back and talk to them when I am not on the verge of suicide." I don't want this. I don't want to be here doing this. I want to go back to my home (which is now vacated and my furniture is stored temporarily in a fucking basement since I couldn't pay the rent while I am here) and continue doing what I thought I would be doing for the rest of my life.
All the criticism is welcome and I haven't seen an illogical argument directed sheerly towards harming the project, I understand your points and they would make complete sense if my life wasn't a joke right now. I am the kind of a person that cannot easily ignore what others say, as you have witnessed through my activity in this forum. Your disappointment is a burden on my shoulders and perhaps that's why I am avoiding to face you.
Critize me all you want, it's in your right. Just don't argue and facepalm each other. And don't fucking say the game is dead, it will continue and it will be completed.

Ashen Bunny Hey buddy we are literary sorry and I am literary sorry now we got it what is your situation
I only saw/checked from October to now I'm sure it was higher. I've never criticized/doubted you, I was always criticizing developers that did this in the past so that now people are unsure whether anything is true or not when developers say anything, that's the environment we are in rn. Take your time to recover and recuperate and extend that to your family. Good luck.

I don't keep up closely with the game but after the update about your parents accident I didn't expect to hear from you for some time and I don't think you owe us an explanation for taking time after that.
The only concerns I have is you allowing pain and negativity to run your life, and that you quit your job so there's no real safety net for you if you don't get back on the horse. But I hope you're able to find the will to move forward soon. Good luck

I appreciate the update, and I do believe that you should indeed put this game on a pause while you focus on in real life situations as that should always come first. I hope everything sorts itself out soon, and once you come back, I will (my own financial situation willing) likely resubscribe then.
Taking the money given the situation is nothing to be ashamed of. I'm sure you know how many other devs treat their supporters, giving them bullshit excuses etc. Through your honest explanations you've shown you're not one of them. People show disappointed because they care, and they care because you're making an amazing game that stands out from the others. I understand that this is not the issue right now, but this shows that once you're ready to come back you'll gain back your supporters & more. While I've only recently discovered your game, your attitude alone convinced me to support the project on release-to-release basis. Take care and I'm rooting for you!
Don't even worry about it that's just what people do. Also it's their responsibility if they didn't wanna fund your patreon ultimately. You made your intentions clear where you were at, and it was clear that you weren't in a mental place to be thinking about anything revolving this game your focus was on your situation, so it can't be seen as as a your bad any more than it is their own if anyones mad over losing patreon ticks without an update. Nothing to feel guilty about or worried over. You do you and continue whenever you're good and ready, and this is coming from a dude who is frothing at the mouth to see where your story goes.
There's no disappointment at you specifically, if anything anyone bitching is a testament to how you've made something good on here and their dissapointment is over circumstance rather than at you individually or anything you've done as a person. Live your life you're not bad people.

take your time! its clear many loved your project, like miself, specially because me and others saw a down to earth dev that clearly enjoys what he is doing. You have been very generous to me, no need to go into detail about that, so i just hope whatever you are going through, you can get better and enjoy, life is only once and we are here to be happy. You will finish this project and many others, life is waiting for you and even its hard sometimes, we need to stay strong. Cheers!

I've only ever supported maybe 5 games total on Patreon and this was one of them, if only for a month to show some support. Keep coming back to keep tabs on it and the dev as well. After that update, as rough as it sounds, once things kick back off here I'll sub back for longer than just a single month for sure. Good luck with everything.
