It is the right thing to do. Better to have a dev with a plan on how to keep their income when the game is complete, than a dev who will have to milk their one game forever because they have nothing to fall back on....which explains the recent increase in time between updates.

What increase in time? There is an update every month, even the (small) sizes are the same as before. For me nothing has changes there....which explains the recent increase in time between updates.

The only thing I am not really happy is that the new game is a sandbox. Not really my type of gameplay and a complete u-turn compared to Guilty Pleasure. Probably time to move on for me after this one is finished.
Get the "old" game done, put it up on Steam. Work on the "new" game while earning income from Steam on the old game. If the old game is even remotely good, they'll make a lot more money than they ever did on Patreon.

Yeah, the updates are exactly the same not sure any of these folks have any legs to stand on...
Same with you, I enjoy this game, but as soon as I saw the word sandbox, I got to say I'm probably out.

I agree with you, sandbox, freeroom aren't my type of game, so after Guilty pleasure I will jump the ship too...
I admire his work ethic, monthly updates are so rare... But if he makes an AVN after that sandbox, I will return...
OK, I was really joking. He does release exactly on a 1-month cadence. That tells you he's always working ahead but only releasing content at steady pace every month. What he's doing is really the fairest way for both creators and subscribers to use a monthly subscription model like Patreon.

These people aren't dumb. The new game needs an audience, they lose that if people stop following the old game before it comes out. Not saying Kalya did it right, that new game should not have been released in any form if he was going to just prioritize the old game for years. I'm hoping Quonix does it right, put a little time aside here and there to get the new game further along, and have something good to grab people with just as the final updates are being released for GP.

Okay, just roughly twelve more updates until this story is over. I wonder what the frequency of "Sex with Tasha yet" posts are going to be for the next year?

I'm not sure how much of an achievement it is to put out updates consistently for what's basically a kinetic novel and like a lot of games here that have gone on far longer than they should have, the render quality is average at best by 2024 standards. If anything the updates should've gotten larger in terms of image quantity as hardware (and software for that matter) has advanced since the first release and the dev has gained more experience. I would 100% believe the dev pools renders and keeps themselves well ahead of update releases which isn't a bad thing.
Or they lose people because the new game is a "sandbox"
I am sure most fans of this game aren't lovers of sandbox. I know some might be but I'm sure there are more regular VN lovers here than sandbox ones. If I am wrong, I am wrong and am sorry for saying anything.
I wanted to say "Are you new here?" but 7 years old, so you should know that this is a fking miracle
Cannot understand why Devs keep going for sandbox? I'd imagine sandbox games annoy most people.
Just search how many complains it this thread, that there is no choice. Now they will get choices.

I'm gonna be honest, For a game that's been out for almost 4 years, Horribly lack of content.
Don't get me wrong, but complaining here but having Braindrops game in the sig (not so much content the last years...)

Maybe you will find what you are looking for with the new version 0.35 which has just been released and which is available for Tier 1...
