The next two updates will be about Noriko. The first one is about dominating her and second one is about getting dominated by her.I am 100% fine with purchasing the game, it's high quality. I'm curious though as to how much content you have planned on Noriko, I love her as a character and being able to dominate or be dominated by her. She's been kind of lacking these past few updates. Thank you.
who is noriko again?The next two updates will be about Noriko. The first one is about dominating her and second one is about getting dominated by her.
would the game be released on any other platform in the future, or are you planning to keep it patreon exclusive?Apart from talking shit things will never change in the comments section here. Do you really think that for a game of this quality I only spend $200 a month?

And all the other additional costs, how much do you think I'll have left at the end?
I'd also invite you to take a look at the ranking of the most taxed countries in the world. We're not world champions in France, but we're still on the podium.
So I'll say it one last time, I didn't say the game was dead because of piracy, nor did I say I wanted to make the 93% of pirates pay. I was just sharing with the community (which supports the game) the reality of things.
The game can continue to be developed, but investing more in improving the content, hiring artists as competent as my main artist isn't possible because I'd have to go through a studio to approach this quality.
So to conclude, yes, I earn almost $15k a month, but 80% is reinvested in the game, paying taxes, salaries etc.
Please read the OP (again) -- this game never has been Patreon exclusive. There are links to a couple of sites where you can get it from.would the game be released on any other platform in the future, or are you planning to keep it patreon exclusive?
Red head step-sister, daughter of yasuka. If you go back a page, someone post a pic of her and others for costume skin poll.who is noriko again?
Patreon takes in between 5-12% and I believe the French tax is 20% which means it's almost 10k-11k per month just on patreon. I'm not making a case of they earn too much btw, just disproving that the game is dead.
Personally I don't care how much they make, I usually don't pay for products until they are finished or close to completion so even if the free versions stop and it's never leaked again I'll just play something else until it gets to that stage.
Relatively recently Patreon made the displayed amount much closer to what the creator will actually earn, after Patreon's cut and whatnot. So the number is fairly accurate, and even if it wasn't it would still be an absolute shitload of money lol. Even if he only gets 50% of the displayed number my opinion would remain the same; I do not care about how sad he is about piracy, he's doing extremely well for himself. And I say this as somebody who has been a patron of his in the past, and probably will be in the future.
The way it's phrased make it come accross as resentment towards the 93% that's not paying for the game, which is very similar to Ubisoft's sentiments in the past (claiming poor sales of AC:Unity on pirates, and not the dog-shit state the game was in). Reality is, if the game wasn't available to be pirated, you'd probably not see more than 'maybe' 5% of that 93% actually pay for the game, and that also ignores all the people that did join your patreon because they tried the pirated version.So I'll say it one last time, I didn't say the game was dead because of piracy, nor did I say I wanted to make the 93% of pirates pay. I was just sharing with the community (which supports the game) the reality of things.
Somehow, i agree with what you're saying. After nearly 2 years of development and what I consider to be a significant increase in the game's quality, it's reasonable that the expenses associated with it have also increased. I say this not only because of the sheer amount of things that have been added update after update, but also because the cost of each of these additions varies considerably. For instance, an artist who creates backgrounds for the game cannot charge the same as a "full-time" developer dedicated to this project. The difference between the two is quite significant, and both are essential parts of itApart from talking shit things will never change in the comments section here.

From Patreon: "The release of version 0.8 remains unaffected by these changes, and we're still on track to launch this update in the autumn, as planned."when is the next update?
Go to your game's preferences and enable "Choice Hints".Can I get route directions? As in which choices will get me to what outcomes.
Go to settings, there's a choice hints option you can enable. It'll show you which choice opens goes down what path with a character.Walkthrough anyone?
Perhaps, but it could be possible that in the actual development state it'll become useless, the game it's pretty green and some of the Patreon - fan base are unusually very unlikely to test things and use the head properly to select obvious choices to active a path since the beginning, if you can find and download very old first builds, there were pretty earlier choices that can make you avoid some paths (like going after Yasuka and Asami), much later RNGeusEX seems to be like obligated to do a guide just for Yasuka's Path and later he seems to become unable and later become invisible those choices, right now the game is pretty linear, but i have the feeling that later he will add those Paths that will make advance Main Story (for good or worst) of MC, changing things drastically, it's very hinted in the message when Sakuya's Path become available, she'll make MC responsible of his past actions for being a womanizer and Kimochi signaling MC as a Pokemon Master *i mean* guilt for trying to build an harem, actions, dialogs, scenarios and destinies will be changed for what we are seeing now, a pretty example would be if we rationally choice to only going after Sakuya, doing it will change how Yasuka and MC will deal with Netoru, the dynamic with Noriko and Asami as only friends and no more... But more importantly how Sakuya will interact with MC, as she can play an act of being a Normie Person, until she reveil herself pretty late and perhaps in a way more dramatic and shocking for MC after thinking that she was as any other Normie Girl... And those changes may not be available with the actual development state as they are changed in the code of the game, it would break for sure in future builds when those Paths (if they are develop) are added.A question, to see Sakuya's path do I need to make another save? I followed the "Mom" route last update, but I just get to Sakuya's threat and then the game tell me to wait for another update, I don't know if I just need to do it from the beginning.
