has promise but the ratio of content to support is way off - cliffhangers are indicative of whats really going along - people are being strung along and content is being released slowly deliberately to milk the consumer, its a problem with all developers though the longer it takes to develop the game the more money they make thats they way they see it; gotta unsubscribe

I was going to comment on the paywall, but others have covered it as thoroughly as I would. I'd wish the dev luck, but people that think like this one does, don't deserve the good will. I understand the irony of griping about this on a pirate site, but a large number of subscribers come from here...when you put greed above all else, that tends to turn people off (unless you're a politician, then people vote for it ((god people are dumb))

The paywall was spoken about in the past (2 updates prior to this Ver) afew pages back. After a discussion here and most likely on Patreon the way Respirited decided upon a solution for all after some advise from myself and others was if every other update the content is unlocked/ made free for everyone. It isn't a perma lock forever, its just early access for patrons.
So, whats waiting the extra month or two longer. Id rather not bite off the hand that feeds and am more than happy to wait an extra month or two and or play whats there on the locked version then when the release after comes out see the past locked scenes before carrying on with the newer unlocked version.
Everyone wins, Respirit makes his or her money to keep on makein ends meet and developing the game, Patrons get early access and us pirates enjoy the free booty alittle bit later on.
My current thoughts on the new version....couldn't be happier, Rasheed came back in, Beth's makeing moves, we got another porn movie night with Ash, a dominated sub MC or not route and Ash'es hotwifeing is now in full swing. We're finally hopefully on the verge of her going all the way with a suiter of our choice which is also another plus being able to choose between our own preffered demographic for Ashley. Just can't wait to play the unlocked release next update. Great update Respirit.
Only criticism would be some of the English was abit off and at the start of the update in the cafe we're reffered to as "X" but overall i loved it and can't wait. Keep it up!

Was enjoying this game until it got to the Estate Agent scene and non patreon players are blocked from it, being forced to subscribe to see the scene. Can't afford to subscribe to every patreon out there you know.
This is such an old and stupid thing to still believe, do you really need someone to point this out? Just like Napster didn't kill the music industry, the locked content isn't what's giving the dev patreons. People will support if they want to be more involved and support the continued development of the game. He could have this locked content or remove it, I guarantee it won't make a difference. The good will from removing it might even bring more supporters, in the long run.

The music industry that being the artist's and studio who own said artist's is a very bad and stupid comparison to make. They generate plenty of revenue from other sources like radio, tv and films so a P2P was likely never going to make that industry suffer too much anyway but they still put the clamp down just because it hurts their album sales.
Now a non main stream niche industry such as the very game we're talking about here that doesn't and probably never will generate money from those other forms of advertiseing or royalties when played/ aired only have the one option; online sale's via Patreon or go fund me schemes. Soon as its being shared on other sites it is already takeing from that market their looking to generate money from should they be trying to make money from it in the first place because as some do just make them as a hobby or a learning curve project and then maybe later with the intention to eventually make some money off it.
"Locked content or not it won't make a difference"...sorry to say but it did, Respirits Patrons went from low double digit figures (sorry can't remember exact amount) after haveing been developing the game for almost a year to over 100 on the day of the release with the lock (pretty sure his posts are posted here somewhere about it). Which in turn also made a difference to his or her bank balance and thats the point... Respirits just looking to make a little extra cash just by allowing it as a early access scheme. The next update all the content is unlocked. Are you really that impatient to wait an extra month or two to play the unlocked version...for free. I'd rather the latter so the game/ dev is less likely to become another abandoned project.

I know another dev-team who's patreon numbers skyrocketed after they put their game behind a patreon/SS paywall. Within a few months their numbers of supports climbed up to 1,000. Supporters get exclusive access to the new content and after a month free users. Their game is free and can be downloaded from their patreon page for free too.
Another example: Inceton's numbers (dev of Echoes of Lust) exploded and reached a new high after they started to nuke all pirate links from F95 and other websites.

I specifically went back to previous scenes with the latest release to see whether they unlocked their paywall for them. THEY DID NOT. They still paywall content from 2 releases ago, and that was pretty much when they started dropping releases here.
We can only guess why people decided to start subscribing at that moment, but my guess is it has more to do with the developer putting out a few releases showing that the dev is committed to the game, and the quality is either good enough or improving adequately. I think it's fair to say that a lot of people won't commit money to a developer before they've proven themselves to be reliable and putting out quality updates in a timely manner. Because let's be honest, the first few updates were pretty rough to say the least, but the dev also improved quite a bit by the time the locked content was introduced.
And if we want to compare games, I would say there are an overwhelming majority of games that has no locked content and instead staggers the full release by at most a couple of weeks. I'm obviously not going to play a game where I have to constantly be TWO MAJOR UPDATES behind. Holy fucking christ that's obnoxious.
So why am I bitching and moaning, you might ask. Because it's sad. This was looking very promising, and the dev was semi active here soliciting free consultation from the community, which is fine when the game is then released here. I would probably be a supporter if this update is good, since we don't have that many games like this that is being worked on consistently. But not like this.
Anyway, ultimately it's up to the dev how to handle this. And maybe I'm wrong and people are idiots who really did subscribe because of locked content.

I mentioned earlier that one or more options may be unlocked in the next update, but not all. And on the other hand, in the latest update, I unlocked the locked option in the sauna for the public version. In the next update I will also unlock a locked option of my choice, that's how it will go.
Thank you for thinking the future of my content and for your feedback, first of all, my friend, but as our friend above mentioned, before I started this "locked content" thing, I had very few supporters and I was paying most of the cost of the game from my own pocket. I'm sure i've mentioned that in one of the earlier posts. Assuming that I have very little free time left in my daily life and most of that free time is spent developing my content, more supporters were a must for me to keep my content developing and continuing. I had to do this, what I did became a must for the continuity and quality of my content. I am aware that without having access to Patreon Edition, some parts of my content are deprived of entertainment for public version users. But that's a requirement, at least until i gain a decent and solid supporter base. I hope we will meet at the same point one day and friends who think otherwise can look at it from my point of view for a second. Have a nice day.

Can anyone share the patreon version? I really enjoy how NTR is made in this game, but a lot of content is stuck behind a patreon paywall >.>

Is this game actaully any good the reviews seem to be mixed should I give it a try I'll be honest I don't hate ntr stuff but its not
thing ,however if this game has really good femdom I'll give it a try.
How many hours of game play does this game have ?
And does the mc sleep with other women as well or only cuckold stuff,and can you control the wife/gf /crush as well or just MC?
if someone can answer these questions without spoiling that would be great.

Maybe F95 can tag this with a paywall tag if there is such a tag.

you cant control the wife, its only cuckold/hotwife so you dont fuck other women as male mc. Also game has medium femdom, not full because wife is not a dominatrix she learn these things with you basically. She doesnt do things that you don't want for example. Game is very good imo but OP made the game pay to see content with last update so thats a bit yikes.
