I know right, all these excuses that the devs make, it's so damn easy to come up with original writing, artwork, code, programming, the costs behind development, hiring, etc, covid totally doesn't put a strain on people's finances, people were totally not losing jobs or coming under heavy stress under the real possibilities of losing jobs and income, or not making the next rent, the fact that you claim the pandemic is a bad excuse for possible affects on someone's circumstance, clearly shows you come from a place of privilege and ignorance.
I mean, the dev is just drowning in money, almost on par with the budget of subverse.
Please, oh superior one, continue to enlighten us with your knowledge, and feel free to link me to your game masterpieces, I'd like to check them out.
Also, psst... Peter didn't review his own game into 5 stars, you should cry to the users who did, not the dev.

When I said that not making much money off of his game is a good excuse I meant it. Time is a valuable asset that gets taken away when you develop a game and 2 grand each month is nothing. The first part of my comment was because of the weird response that didn't really fit what the other guy was asking. But the "scummy devs" I'm referring to make more than I would each month to develop a game that gets updated every 7 months. I guess the pandemic can be a valid excuse depending on the circumstance but it is the absolute perfect excuse to vaguely dismiss just about anything and any company can pull that excuse out of their ass. Pretty much any problem you could have besides death is financial anyway so you should stick to that. Bad luck is even vaguer. Everyone Understands money.I know right, all these excuses that the devs make, it's so damn easy to come up with original writing, artwork, code, programming, the costs behind development, hiring, etc, covid totally doesn't put a strain on people's finances, people were totally not losing jobs or coming under heavy stress under the real possibilities of losing jobs and income, or not making the next rent, the fact that you claim the pandemic is a bad excuse for possible affects on someone's circumstance, clearly shows you come from a place of privilege and ignorance.

What Im saying is that whenever someone says "Why is this game so empty." Just point to your patreon and say "Thats why." no need to bring the arch excuse into it.

I just love how people on the pirate site begin to accuse the developer of the slow progress, lack of content or something like that.
I mean, if you donated some money, alright, go to Patreon / Subscribestar or other payment platforms and write down your complaint there.
But if you did not invest at least 1$ in the developer `s work, stop complaining here, at PIRATE SITE. Developer doesn`t have to provide, give or distribute the product of his hobby and spare time to you.

Well, did you was infected with COVID? I was. When it is hard just to breathe, you kinda thing about your life and your chances to survive not gamemaking.
Also, I`m happy for you, if you have medical insurance, economical support and other means of help.
Sadly, some of us have to work overtime or even get a second job, to to deal with increased costs and hence the additional life spending. So, more IRL work means less time on game.

Why are you so concerned about the explanations Peter uses? It's quite likely that he is better informed than you about why he hasn't been able to make the progress desired.
Turn off your judgemental mode and just comment on the game. No one cares what you will or won't accept as "excuses."

It's not right to use the pandemic as an excuse because it's vague and requires no explanation and there is a rise in people falsely using it to benefit from the increased leniency. It's way is easier to understand the lack of time and money. Two of my immediate family are dead and buried because of it dont think I'm immune. Unless "covid" means that he actually contracted it then that's fine.

You are partially right.
By saying covid I meant social and economical consequences:
- Almost 20-30% from not very big audience were forced to stop their pledges due to economical reasons
- my lewd writer was forced to stop our cooperation since due to forced change work
- art production was greatly slowed due to artist got her salary cut at main job, and she forced to take more commissions from other people
- I moved to rented apartment and borrowed a lot of money to do so, and when I moved there - lockdown started and my salary was cut, so I wasn't able to invest my money, as I did before.
I'm not good at writing lewd content or making good art, and production of good adult content without money - impossible in my case. I'm not sensitive person, but all those factors + previous bad luck (primary artist with whom I started this project was forced to quit due to personal reasons, and I've lost a lot of money on tries with other artist before her due to inexperience in this field) made me a little depressed and counter-productive, since instead of making normal updates regularly, as good devs do, I've counted every $ to make at least half scene (experiment with line-art in waitress job), and even those half-scene required more than 3-4 month of gathering to make them.
I know, it's not your concern, as most You just want to enjoy good game with regular updates, and 2 years sounds like tremendous amount of time to make one. And I wish it was that simple, I wish that income from project would be big enough and I'll be able to abandon my primary job, and work on my games full-time instead of using free time.
That's all the story.

Yeah, I get that. I do agree that I am probably more anal than I should be about this but I've just seen the pandemic being abused too many times for me to not raise an eyebrow at these things. I hope that you do make enough money to quit your job and work full time and I wish you luck with your writing as it certainly isn't easy especially when it comes to making good porn scenes.
Covid pandemic really fucked everything up so I wish the best for you this year that you can finally have supports, time and finally luck on your side to help develop and caught up to what you couldn't do last year. Stay strong and I hope everything will went smoothly this time, I love your game since the first demo so would be a shame to see a fun porn game with Steampunk set up being left unfinished

Again, why do you think that you have the right and the duty to tell Peter (and the rest of us) what is or isn't the "right excuse" when you have no idea what Peter's situation actually is? You are engaging in judgementalism for no purpose except to be judgemental. So what if some people are "falsely using it to benefit from the increased leniency?" No one here cares.
When someone asks Peter a question and he gives the answer, just accept that it is the answer. There's no need to tell him that his answer isn't acceptable to you and you want a different answer. That's a problem for you, not Peter.

This wasn't even the main argument of my original comment. The other guy was asking why this game was somehow 5 stars despite it clearly not being a 5-star game in which peter said covid, money, and bad luck which somehow validates the 5-star rating. Furthermore, I did word the second part like I was telling him to do it but I meant to be more of a suggestion based on my own moral opinion. You can say that my opinion is unwanted but where else would it be taken into account? Also, why should I accept anything a faceless independent creator says as fact?

While investigating a murder on my own, I encountered a bug. If you go down to the dungeon (I don’t know exactly what this place is called) and open the menu, then when it closes, the screen will be black. Saving in this area and then loading the save does nothing. It helps to load only previous saves.
In this moment the developer is fighting for his country (the Ukraine), so you will have to await for an answer.
