He said he no longer has a "job" now, and he can devote his time to full time development.

Shit happens and it happens to everybody, sometimes in bunches, sometimes it's unavoidable, life happens.

Whether you believe him or not, he doesn't owe anybody here shit. Patreon is nothing more than a donation or a thank you for their work.

If the next update never comes, oh well, it was a great game for what is here, games die all the time and replaced all the time.
this is also true. Just gotta find new fapping material.

Update news... :lepew:


Hey guys, first of all, I'll be deactivating the payment cycle for this month, so you won't be charged next month. Please don't switch tiers to avoid any unwanted charges.

Second, sorry for completely disconnecting. Time has flown by for me, and I've been working too much at my regular job, for a reason. I handed in my resignation at the company I work for a month ago, but my boss, who's a good guy, offered me to work for one more month and Instead of quitting, they'll fired me. Obviously, getting fired is much more beneficial because the severance pay is way higher than when you resign. That's why I decided to take advantage of this last month by doing overtime to have more financial security and finally focus on what I love: creating adult novels... Maybe it's the worst decision of my life, but I'm tired of working so hard. Sitting for long hours has wrecked my body, I'm overweight, and I get random heart pains (the doctor said it's from stress and a sedentary lifestyle). As if that's not enough, I have a hemorrhoid. I'm totally screwed.

I know that's no excuse for completely disconnecting. I apologize for just vanishing. In a week, I'll be fully devoted to HeartProblems.

One more thing I want to mention is that I've made some progress on the novel. I've got a total of 1000 renders now (yes, I extended the chapter again) and around 30 or 40 animations still not rendered. The thing is, I don't like posting updates if the progress isn't really noticeable, which is why I didn't make any posts.

I'll take a risk and give an ETA – I'd say the test version will be ready in three weeks.

Again, I apologize. I should have at least made one post during the month to explain, but seriously, this month has gone by in the blink of an eye for me.

What if the title is autobiographic? :(
What if Xeno actually had heart problems and the game's title was a way of owning it and coping with it.
Rendering those assess wouldn't be the best way to deal with such a condition, so I really really hope he's fine.
[...] Sitting for long hours has wrecked my body, I'm overweight, and I get random heart pains (the doctor said it's from stress and a sedentary lifestyle).
Fuck me sideways and call me a potato o_O

Anyway, there was a lot of bullshit in that dev update post; so much so, that I'd dare to say it was mainly made of bullshit.
This is what we, as adult game players, have fostered over the years. Congrats to all of us :)

FALSE.
I'm tired of reading this fallacy.
And this comes from someone who is currently supporting 5 devs on Patreon.

That part is true.

I have about 30 plus, it's still a donation and a thank you for the work/content...they still don't owe me anything beyond what they have already produced. Other dev's will say the same thing...it's okay you don't think that....it is what it is.

There is no promise.

The game is hidden behind a paywall, only subscribers have access to it, it is not accessible to the public, plus each tier is often linked to certain rewards depending on how much you pay. It is not a tip or some charity money when certain content and even the game itself are only accessible for those who pay.
I also support two youtubers/streamers from my country. In that case, I'm donating because I want them to keep doing what they do, but their content is free. That's a donation; the other thing is not a donation, it is a quid pro quo.
This guy has 1,300 patrons; the most usual tier is €5. With a rough estimation of € 6,000 a month since that's the most common tier (it's probably more actually), and if he indeed lives in Spain, it would blow your mind to know how much that is compared to certain professions. That's about the salary of a Spanish Supreme Court judge, to name just one.

Well, they're lucky to have such a generous patron.

If instead of releasing the final episode of The Entrepreneur, Mistermaya had suddenly dropped the project or disappeared after 13 months of me paying him while waiting for the update, I would have been really pissed and would have felt conned. Fortunately, he's a decent dev who used his patron's money to deliver what we paid him for.

Your approach is legitimate, but IMHO it's not the best way to promote adult game development and has brought us where we are now (and I'm not talking specifically about Heart Problems).

Wait, I thought the last release came out? Thought it said completed?

Oh, you're saying if he didn't.

Hmm, I assume you are talking about the "complete edition" correct?
It was always called complete edition, I believe, but it was tagged "early release".
Now it's the real complete edition with all the bugs gone and some new music too, I think. It has not been leaked here yet.
The problem is that the dev did not make a new post on Patreon, but he just changed the link to the game in the old post and informed us about it on Discord yesterday.

I looked the other day, but the Patreon post wasn't updated and still said whatever date it was. So, I just assumed it was the same as what is coming to Steam and already here.

I will just wait on Steam as it looks like it will be $10 plus a discount.
