Wait, you didn't download them when they got leaked?
No, I first played the game recently (my first post in this thread, 14th of march is when I finished) so I have not seen anything like that, 400 pages is way too much to go through, and frankly, most likely pointless to do.

Yeah, it was like 3 years ago and I think it was deleted after a day or two. For sure the download link won't work after this long anyway.

My only real worry is this:
-The game came out Dec. 2019
-The last update was May 2023
-Currently almost a year since the last update
-We're still in the PROLOGUE!!!! Not even on Chapter 1 yet...
To be exact, Komi has only 'completed' under 1/3 of 'Chapter 1'. People been waitin' 4 years almost 5 months for the ACTUAL update ( that snowy update from last year doesn't count) and that's all that's 'claimed' to be finished. Theoretically, it will take, minus Divine Intervention, 8 to 10 years to finish the entire game at the rate Komi is 'working'.

Be worried. Be very worried. :(

I don't follow the development of this game that closely, so I am probably lacking a lot of critical information, but from my point of view, it seems like the dev just got way too ambitious and since as far as I know it's just him doing all the work the progress is really slow. It doesn't seem like he is deliberately milking his supporters.

And why do you think that an uneducated, uninformed half guess of an opinion has any merit? The progress isn't slow, it's non-existent, the progress was scrapped to be remade for nebulous reasons and no update was done in years.

For the same reason everyone here thinks their opinion matters lol. No one knows for sure what he is doing behind the scenes. The only thing people know is that he claims he is working on the game even though it hasn't been updated for a long time.
Accept that the people here base their opinions on what can be seen (which is fuck all), you literally came in, said you don't know shit and didn't bother the check what is visible or learn anything and then believed your opinion is worth sharing.

I mean, you literally came in, saw that he said he don't know shit, deemed his opinion to be not only worth reading, but replying to twice. What does that say about you then?
If you want my 50 cents: Accept that this is not a major newspaper but a porn game forum. Uninformed, uneducated half guesses will be there and there is nothing that will stop it. Ignore it or be better. But if something that small riles you up that much, to answer in that tone, perhaps you are not cut out to be here in the first place.

Damn, hope some generous soul who did download them will bless us unfortunate souls who found this game late with a google drive link to them... hopefully through DMs to avoid getting deleted.

Edit: Honestly I am more interested in why the graphics look so good I have experimented with Koikatsu in the past and it very much just looks like most other Koikatsu renderings, I mostly just want to know what mods were used to make the renderings.

Are you using base kk or sunshine? Because I found some really impressive models for sunshine. Busted many a nut to a grade A Felicia one.

If raking in top 1% monthly earnings in your country for years (easily enough to buy a house, like he did) while doing nothing but post some GIFs every couple months is not "milking", then we have very different opinions on the subject.
Ooo boo hoo, someone is making more money than me and I don't like it because all I do is fap to pirated and free games while they are sitting in their castles, drowning in their unlimited wealth sucked from us poor peasants...

Honestly I'm happy Komi could escape economic problems and provide for himself by making HHG. People are acting like he just farted into existence with all this money from supporters. He made something and people liked it. He hasn't charged a single cent from any of this, hasn't put any paid ads and is simply creating a free game. If you're mad about the patron system, then take your discomfort out on Patreon or whatever crowd funding platform that is enabling this type of engagement. If Patreon shuts down right now, all that is gone. Zero security. Development length vs patron support can be discussed in better ways than just calling everyone milkers and scammers. This topic is nothing new.

There's more people dumping hundreds and even thousands of dollars into gacha and microtransactions, yet it's always "the patron supporters are being milked!" narrative. Even if they are being milked (and there definitely are cases), at least it's going into a sole developer that is hopefully improving their life situation regardless of how scummy they are. There's a reason a lot of the developers on here are from developing countries or from poor economic backgrounds. Imagine a maybe depressed or lonely 18 year old, who is maybe struggling with education and finances, ends up making a game in their spare time that is popular enough to garner this much patreon support. That is life changing. They now have the opportunity to improve their life situation. Obviously they won't turn into professional developers overnight or have any kind of professional work experience and/or scheduling. Makes sense that shit will take longer to make at times. Not to mention bad decisions made from lack of experience.

I'm not saying this is the case for Komi, but a lot of people here seem to think every developer on this site is some kind of industry experienced veteran who knows exactly how to optimise their time and have their life in order, just because they made a good game. It's usually the opposite.

If Komi underestimated the time to finish this project, he will learn from it as part of his growth. It's literally his first project, especially for this size and ambition. Even for most developers on this site (look at how many shit or AI art games get pumped out so quickly). Whether it's being naive or just overconfidence, we shall see. But I'm not losing sleep over it. Whether or not Komi should have paused his Patreon during non development periods, that's another topic. But some of the conversations here are dumb af and some of y'all really need to touch grass.
