Am I seeing this right? You've written 20k+ lines of code so far for a single update?
Yup. Although, that number will be cut in half if I release the chapter in two parts. Also, to be fair, my coding is condensed but I space out my dialogue to leave room for notes and edits, so it's probably not nearly as impressive as it seems.

I know...Now you're being unreasonable my friend!
Lol, I got the publish date for the post mixed up. I thought that was posted in 2022. I see now it was today. I know it should have been obvious, but sue me. Thanks for the quick reply. Love this game.The post above yours is the dev... the devlog is a few post up too...

No but the choices are simple enough that there is no need for it.
Unfortunately, it is pretty normal, but it's mostly because the majority of devs, myself included, still have to work regular 9-5 jobs in order to pay our bills. I don't know how much more I can work without completely burning myself out and saying fuck it to everything lol. I promise that I'm trying my best, and I hope chapter 4 will be worth the wait.
Essentially, I'm making the game so that there are no wrong answers. Relationship prompts are very clear and usually labeled so that you won't ever lock yourself out of a relationship with some random decision you made 2h prior (Perhaps with the exception of choosing the 'Straight' vs. 'Variety' game options, as eventually there will likely be LGBT characters that the Straight players will not be romantically prompted for). The other choices will offer varying dialogue and sometimes different scenes entirely, but none of them are wrong choices. At the end of the day, I'm just trying to tell a story, and I don't want people to be distracted from it by wondering how to navigate the decisions properly to get the best/worst outcome.
YOU work a 9-5 job, deal with life's bullshit, worry about bills getting paid, and then on top of that, work on a time-intensive VN and see how YOU feel at the end of the day.
If that was even remotely possible I wouldn't have sat here shedding tears over the near extinction of common sense for the past couple of years.Think before you post...
If it wasn't for the hidden /s I would have to tell you that old adage of "Causation etc......".
iam sorry bro ,i wasnt tryng to trash your work or anything ,im only being observant and sincerely im only join patron's devs who are at least finished 2 or 3 games before,not bcs i dont believe in you or others but sadly after a couples of burnots with devs i prefer to wait ,i know is not your fault and like many otjers you are just a victim of others greeds and bad brhavior's
You're fine, homie! I wasn't mad or anything, and I honestly understand where you're coming from. I'm a fan of a lot of projects here too and even knowing first-hand how hard a lot of devs have to work, I still get a lot of similar feelings as you expressed.
