Dev needs to take a break before they officially burn out. Solid move suspending their patreon for a month. If the beta isn't half bad I honestly recommend dev to just stop working right now for at least 2 weeks if they're on the verge of burn out. I've been there and a month's recovery was not enough but you should be okay as long as you don't force yourself to keep drawing water from an empty well.You must be registered to see the links
“Sorry guys. I wasn't able to get v0.9 finished as I said I would.
I'm a bit bewildered and burnt out at the minute. I worked through the night trying to get it done, but the more work I did the more there seemed to be left to do.
So, I have decided to release a beta version.
Two unfinished scenes have been temporarily removed, and it is lacking polish in some areas (i.e. some of the dialogue is clunky, more images required in places, etc.).
V0.9 Beta Release.
I am suspending my Patreon billing for next month. I'm going to take a short break, figure out what I'm doing wrong and make the necessary changes to make sure I'm not in this situation again.
I will get v0.9 finished and released as soon as possible. And I'll also catch up on the Patreon rewards that I'm behind on.”
The question is do you guys want me to share the beta links or would you guys wait for the polished version update?
I personally would wait
DB deserves a break. Let’s avoid burnouts

It is unlikely that someone will bother to update the mod for an unfinished "test beta", only to have to do it again after the final release.Please, updated for : Hillside [v0.9 Beta]

None yet, slowest of burns, 13 months after first release still no sex scenes. But that's alright, because this VN has great characters and story. It's okay for every VN to not be a fuck-fest, we need some narrative focused ones as well.Any actual sex scenes ??? Or slow burn only ??
Better they take a break, rather than getting burned out and abandoning the project altogether. Even if they would have kept working, the quality of their work would have suffered. Besides, it's not like there's thousands of other VNs on this site, right?Oh no, Cena2001 needs a freebie, we must not take a break LOL.
On a more serious note, the update is clearly bigger than normal, and I appreciate that the two missing scenes were missing rather than in there being sub-par. It's much better that dev goes away to take a break and recharge (also putting his patreon on hold to not charge people for nothing).
