I don't know how many times we need to re-establish that the reason this update has taken so long is because they took time off to grieve their dad who literally died right when they started working on it.
It wasn't just that, there's a lawyer involving a drunk driver who hit my dad before he died. I also moved countries, had to live in hotels for a few weeks, took a LOT of international flights to do, started a company, working on another, trying to get an international mortgage loan which is almost impossible, dealing with passport and visa stuff. Among a ton of other personal stuff that I don't feel belongs online. There's been so much to do on any given day that I had constantly forgotten what I had to do and started writing notes. At one point I had something like 60 tasks written down and their priority. Creative work just cannot thrive under stress and pressure, and I need to balance my life.

Take your time, Man. Most of us understand, and have no problem waiting. Your health is important, mental and otherwise.

First of all, I am happy to see more of Jin. Looks like she is starting to win her battle angainst her addiction and she is getting better. Hopefully the gardening therapy will help.

Second, I am no bowling expert, but Lin's bowling pose doesn't look healthy or safe. Please, tell me that she doesn't get hurt. Also, I hope that this event wouldn't be ruined by some pro-slavery idiots who will decide to harass MC for taking two elves bowling in a public bowling alley without collars and chains.


Also, is it safe for Lin to be out in the public after the Anchorn event?

Exactly as TheDevian said, take your time, Runey. Your life, your mental and physical health and your well-being is more important than the game updates. We will wait.

Is there any chance someone could share a save where they just unlocked Autumn? Thats about how far I got before I stopped playing for a while. Not looking for a 100% save, just one thats decently progressed so I don't have to start from scratch.

You're going to have to be a bit more specific on the unlocking part - because she unlocks almost immediately after getting the 2nd floor, which is like... 10-20mins? of gameplay if you focus your money on that. That's nearly the start of the game.

I really hope that the author can add more BDSM content and add various BDSM tools. You can also learn from the pain and pleasure, a variety of BDSM scenes and props in the comics. Thank you to the author for providing us with such a good work.

did you pause your patreon any time this past year though? Not to be rude but dragging supporters in your personal problems while not delivering the work they're paying for cannot end well for anyone.

It wasn't just that
Meanwhile, every corporate job has paid time off, grievance leave, sick leave, etc. Where the corporate employee drags their company into their personal problems.

Work ain't life. Let's encourage a healthy work-life balance

You have a point but it's also up to the supporters to follow up and be aware of where there money is going. I support a lot of devs and it's not the devs responsibility to tell me exactly when they are going on breaks or vacations in my opinion. It would be nice if they gave us a blow by blow but I don't care as long as we receive regular progress updates and an anticipated release month for the next update.

So if a dev goes on vacation but they maintain there promised progress levels and close to an anticipated release date I have no issues. Matter of fact I would encourage them to take a week off after every update and recharge there creative batteries and brainstorm new ideas.

If the updates are not frequent enough or communication is poor then cancel your subscription, but it's up to the subscribers to vote with there dollars if they feel they are getting a fair amount of content for there money. Not up to the dev to pause all payments every time they take a break.

That's just my opinion however, but I vote with my wallet and don't worry if a dev pauses or not.

It's why I always make sure I'm as transparent as possible. I let people know I was taking my first holiday vacation, this was the first in my life, and after 5 years of HH. I let people know when I'm able and unable to work in uncertain times, and what I've been going through. I don't expect trolls to do anything but troll, if anything it's good for engagement. I have even encouraged people to spend their money elsewhere, and have shared a gofundme to help victims of war, and my discord community was able to help in raising $56,000+ for them.

I do believe devs should let supporters know when they're incapable of working though. But the great thing about Patreon is, it's a tip jar. I do offer incentives to donate, but as it is right now, I sell nothing. It's all donations.

pretty good post. It's patreon. There's No responsibility. It's called donations for a reason. Donate if you like it. Don't donate if you don't. Everything is at the subscriber's discretion, and the payee is liable for Nothing.
