Dark Silver is in a bad spot he has not been able to get Big Brother fans back in numbers he used to have and now he is pissing off Glamor fans by rewriting that side of the game to add in more content to please the Big Brother fans that are not coming back and losing Glamor supporters. Don't see why he can't just add a New Class and add content not take away content.

He may have had more patrons at some point but his product has to be considered an ongoing success. I like the way Glamour is going btw. I do understand he is trying to please two audiences, but I think there is also a large overlap group like me who enjoy Kate and the new Max story.

50/50 Olivia/Ann. The more the merrier, make a huge update that will take forever to make
...
50/50
73%
This is ridiculous. I already cancelled my pledge after 0.32 was so disappointing, too bad I can't cancel twice.

0.33 should have been a Kate update (remember the alternating 50/50 plan?). He first said he had a little more stuff he wanted in the Olivia line so as not "to leave the cliffhanger for too long". Apparently all the cliffhangers in the Kate line are ok, though. Anyway, a short (2 week) release might have been ok, but now he's going to make another huge release, probably 6 weeks like this last one.

Frankly, I do not believe he's really got a team working on this game full time. Simply not enough output.

I think you are misunderstanding what is going on. DS has turned over all major decisions to high paying patrons. The majority of which are old BB fans and returning BB fans now that Glamour and BB are combined. The BB fans are more willing to pay for the higher tier and thus get more say in the development, whereas the Glamour fans seem unwilling to do much more than complain.

Possibly. But by joining the two routes the way he is doing right now, it kind of makes the MC choice at the start of a new game a moot point.
He's given Max the reins over the game a wee bit too much, IMO. There are so many loose ends in Kate's story that I have no doubt he'll try to shoehorn Max into. I mean, he could conceivably take over the Cheerleading Perving from Oscar. He'll probably end up fucking the school nurse for control over the pills.
Probably figure out some completely ludicrous way of removing Fedor from the picture so he can have Veronica. And least likely of all, Karen will probably start flirting with Max after finally giving into his advances. Shit. I shouldn't be giving him bad ideas, he's had enough of them already from his $40 patrons.
Whetever the fuck else, keep him away from Sophie.

I seriously hope none of that crap comes to pass.

Shoving three new characters into the scenario has never sat well with me.
If he'd moved Olivia and Lisa into Kate's class and Max into the other one, only one character would need to be removed.
I think everybody would have been happier as well - those that want to interact with Max can, those that don't want to wouldn't have been forced to.
But meh. $40 patrons only want more holes to shove a cock into.
Not just a cock. Max's cock.
We knew that Max was eventually going to be added, but this sudden decision about Lisa and Olivia really seemed "out of the blue."
I agree, but I couldn't vote in the other poll so I voted to make the best of the situation moving forward. It sucks, but I have a feeling this is what DS wanted, otherwise they would have let more than just the whalers vote.
It reminds me of some of the aspects of the US Electoral college. A select group of voters end up having 350% say.

I get what you are saying about some of DS's decisions. The idea of repeating the "balance of Kate and Max updates" poll until Kate was no longer emphasized.

I haven't left fully yet, but I've reduced my support to $1.
He even opened the concept of other classes.

Well, some of us are leaving or reducing our support.

I don't know if his focus on the small number of $40 supporters is going to pay off in the long term. I would think that pissing off a larger number of "lesser" patrons would result in lower total income. Perhaps he's trying to entice the lower patrons to upgrade in order to have a say.

DS is Russian, as long as he can maintain 1000 patrons, it's enough to live a happy life. A hundred or even 500 angry patrons from total 1787 won't affect his income. If the average patrons is $5, not 10 or 20 or the highest tier $40, he still get around $4750/month (after patreon 5% cut). Even a russian pilot captain paid less than that number.

That's not at all how the electoral college works or was designed to work. However since this thread isn't about US politics if you want to discuss it dm me

you are just creating a self fulfilling prophecy. Yes DS seems to be alienating his lower tier Glamour supporters, whether its intentional or incidental who knows, however the more they leave the less voice they will have in what happens.

In college, 1.5 cripples that have not yet been disclosed, DS finally decided to kill the college theme, since if he was interested, Katya and Alice would be in the 2nd year at the current gaming moment, and Max and his brood entered the 1st course.

В колледже итак не раскрытые 1,5 калеки, ДС окончательно решил убить тему колледжа, так как если бы был заинтересован, то Катя и Алиса на текущий игровой момент были бы на 2-м курсе, а Макс со своим выводком поступил на 1-й курс.

Ok, so, he must write two different stories...
The first one for Max or BB lovers
And the second one for Glamour original (Kate's story)
Actually, the first one became the only one.
Some interactions are ok, but, mixing Max and Kate's stories is stupid...
PS : I don't had played the game since 3 months... Even Kate's releases are around Max and only Max... Kate became one of Max's harem... Sorry, I hate that...

This is not something unique for this game.Even AAA games are ignoring the majority of players in order to appeal only to a small circle of whales.

it's in AppData\Roaming\glamour-updater\Local Storage, there is a folder named leveldb that's the save folder
Indeed.

But, contrary to what the guy who made the save exporter/importer said, the savegames are NOT in JSON format and cannot be edited!

He had Double that at one point and was the number one subscribed adult game on Patreon
you can make more by lowering tier costs and gaining more subs $40 is high in the US now too plus Covid-19 has killed millions of jobs for good
