Well it honestly surprised me it took this long, I actually was praising your patrons for not posting anything sooner. This is very rare on this site. I am still planning to pledge at least 20 dollars this or the next update, as I did with the last game, even as kind of feeling of "buying" the game. I think others will too.

Also the first few months being dry... well I may be also to blame, but with these games, you kind of know it will be a slow burner, so the first few updates you are worried about getting blueballed. On the other hand, having this kind of game go faster would kind of beat the point so yeah...

Understand that you are not the only one. Pretty much every developer here has these pirated copies losses. On the other hand, having your game here is sort of a free advertisement. So if you chalk up the pirated copies losses as marketing costs, it is not that extremely bad. Without this site and others like it, most of the games here would not get any traction I feel.
I do understand that, which is why I am not doing anything to modify the OP. While releasing something for free is good for marketing, which is why I have always done it so far, releasing absolutely everything, leaving little insentive to pledge, isn't really. It has been made clear after the leaks on HC1, when the amount of new patrons after the leak was close to inexistant.

Also, I think there was a slight misunderstanding. I was actually quite happy with the steady progress I made in the first few months, either on HC1 or HC2. I have absolutely no complaints about that

Hello there. First and foremost, I haven't played the game yet, since I'd prefer to wait until it's done. Just a few "yes/no" question on whether any of the following content are/will be present:
1. Threesomes
2. Orgies
3. Gangbangs
4. NTR of family members
5. Femdom NTR
6. Bestiality

Thank you for your time. :)
I don't think this warrants a spoiler tag : )
However, I'll take some liberties and answer with a bit more than yes or no.

1. Yes, in the future.
2 & 3. Aren't those a bit similar? Anyway, likely in the future as well.
4. Yes
5. No. Femdom isn't exactly my kink, and I'm not sure I'd be able to portray it correctly.
6. No (against Patreon rules)

Understand that I stand on a crossroad right now. I have finished my studies, and I have a bit of time to try and make this game series work on Patreon. However, if I see that it isn't going anywhere, it would mean thinking about getting another job, part or full-time, thus less content, if any content at all.
I think you went a bit too hard on that N_taii, people appreciate your work, and your game, and as you can see, we haven't seen any leaks beside that one, that means you have over 150+ faithful patrons, and they didn't leak ANYTHING for past few months, people are not gonna drop out because one shared 20$ update a week after release once, don't worry about it, that's the hurdle you will have to hassle with when you get bigger and bigger, in my opinion you shouldn't lash out that hard, because one asshole shared your content, you've been in the business for quite some time, and you should know that as long as you keep up the good work you'll get rewarded for it, so yeah, it was only a matter of time for that to happen. You are overdramatizing it, I'm 99% sure your patrons (me included atm) don't want to see you lash out on them too, we want good content, we like your work, we are supporting you (when we can) I'm pretty sure that if you keep up your work or maybe even do a bit bigger updates (since you had 1500$ as your go full-time) you will get more and more patrons, even with leaks happening from time to time.

Regarding Update 3 it was pretty damn good, was it short? No, it was pretty lengthy. Was it slow? Yes, and that's what I like about it, going slow and steady, not rushing the story, especially since my let down with your previous game where you rushed after corruption parts and the endings. Was it worth supporting you on patreon? Y-e-s. I wish update had even more content, but I really don't want quality to drop, anyway, the only thing I don't like about the game is new board you implemented, I expected something totally different, maybe something like character boards (similar to how you did quest board) would be waaaay cooler and if you would update it with every update and change small things that'd be amazing, maybe even give characters current location, and what they are doing:

Anyway, keep up the good work, and don't worry much about leakers, remember you have a lot of people supporting you and you will have a lot more!

It has been made clear after the leaks on HC1, when the amount of new patrons after the leak was close to inexistant.
Also, let me ask you, how much did you grow from the times when you were working on HC1? Think positively my man, I'm in tough financial situation right now and was planning to just pledge once every few months, but I'll keep my pledge for December too (hoping for large Update :D) And keep growing, if you'll keep up your current update quality/amount you will go higher and higher, maybe you'll even be able to more people to your team, maybe hire "permanent" sprite artist in a year or so. I see a bright future for you if you'll continue =) Your first game was okay, and this one is already miles better than the first, and if you juggle it nicely it may become a killer, don't rush things too much, let us enjoy slow degradation of characters, that's the most rewarding corruption. Going from 100 to 95 to 90 to 85 is way better (and more rewarding at the end) than going from 100 to 80 to 60 to 40 :p

Thank you for your message : )

However, there might be a slight misunderstanding. I did not mean to lash out on any innocent bystanders, be them Patrons or not, not my intention at all.
I have edited my initial message to underline that.

I am not expecting people to drop their pledge suddenly, well not in great numbers at least. However, I am not expecting new patrons either, especially if all of the content, extra-scenes included, is already available.

About the character board, it is already present. One the quest board, you can either choose side-quests or character description. Those descriptions change with time and story progression as well. The locations would take far too much time to implement each update, as I have to think about every character's location at all times, depending on the action of the player. With the addition of the quest journal, I decided to remove it altogether.

Thank you for the time you spent writing that : )

Thank you for the answer. Forgot about one more, the rarest or rare NTR - any Futa NTR planned?
I haven't unlocked that form of NTR, I'm afraid.
Which means no, not planned in the current game^^

Talk about tragedy at the commons...

We love your work, so I'd guess these sorts of things are an inevitable consequence on a piracy site. I wholeheartedly agree that something that's going to be free in time anyway shouldn't be released earlier, we're all going to suffer in the long run due to this. I hope whoever released it to this site considers this fact carefully in the future. We should respect good, hard-working devs, especially those who are part of our own community.

I hope we can find a way to turn this into a positive. Maybe we can help raise awareness of his work on any other sites you guys may go to?

Better safe than sorry, really enjoyed the story so far.

I am wondering why did you put certain someone's virginity into extra scene? I mean since she's close to MC isn't it better if scene was included in main game. Not pointing finger or anything just curious about it.

Well yeah, it can feel like the game is held hostage sometimes. Nobody likes to miss out. Side characters are fine I feel, but main characters (considering she has a portrait), should not really have stuff gated. But what do I know.

The mom and the sister are the main characters. Solana is a side character, although for now she does feel like No. 3.

Yeah technically you are right. Emotionally though...

I also feel that there is a bit of discouragment to sub for 5 dollars when you feel like you will miss out. The thing you are going for would be a single 20 dollar when the game is done, to get everything. Take me, for example, I hate missing out, so I am waiting to have more content before going for 20 dollar sub. If I would get everything for 5, I would have probably been subbed since the beginning. Subbing 20 dollars monthly is just a bit too much for me, since I do not have much spending money. So it is potentially hurting the game in the long go, but I do not have any data to support that, so I may be horribly wrong.

I think that there is a reason why pretty much no other game developed this way gates their content like that.

Unfortunately, drevilbob has been around for a long time, and only shows up once in a while to publish my updates. I suspect it is someone that has been supporting the game for a long time on Patreon, so I'm not exactly sure why he does this : (
Also, the other websites aren't much in terms of return compared to F95.

Thank you for the kind comment : )
Will this ntr be avoidable? Please say yes !!! i just don't like bad endings
If you don't enjoy bad endings, then rejoice, because there will be a non-NTR ending as well : ) However, the NTR stuff throughout the game isn't avoidable, I'm afraid.

Actually, she is a side-character, same as Thania and Neve. Which is why their related quests are all considered side-quests, thus not required to reach the ending. I didn't plan on adding portraits for them at first (due to the costs of the art), but a generous Patron decided to pitch in and paid for all 3 portraits.
As for why it is an extra-scene, I didn't intend on holding the game hostage, I'm sorry it came off as such. Since Solana is a side-character, and that I had people asking for more "hidden" stuff, I thought I'd get creative by not adding this scene, and just show the aftermath (some of the scene is still shown in the 5$ version, just not all of it). This way, people can imagine the rest.
Bottom line, in my mind, it wasn't meant to be a major event, more like a side one, thus it could be partly skipped.

Don't worry, for the main characters (Aywin and Celis), their main events won't be skipped and put as extra-scenes since they are, well, central to the story : )

This has been the first game to be completely unplayable for me.
Everything works fine for around 5 mins, then it freezes. Audio still keeps going and depending on where it froze I can hear me interacting with doors or my menu but visually nothing changes.

It's hard to say whether it is a good business model or not. I think it is working out pretty well, as I try my best to make anything extra not story-related so that lower tier Patrons don't feel left out and can keep playing without noticing that there is anything missing (unless they've been notified beforehand).

Do you have all the required rpgmaker codecs? Only thing that comes to mind.
