Seems to me, if she'd chosen vanilla every time it would be very unlikely that she'd just go off with fatty old Winston. So, I must surmise that either the dev lost his story board or just got bored and only followed one route to completion ... which sounds better than 'the dev railroaded' ...
C route, you're stuck with a woman with a Spade tattoo ... sure that's going to work well on those family holidays. lol.

Of course, there’s some truth in what you’re saying, but as someone deeply involved in this project day and night, I can assure you I’ve thought about these issues far more than anyone else. It’s true that I’ve grown a bit tired of the story, and it’s also true that focusing on my new project feels like the right step forward for me. Honestly, I feel like I’ve pushed Ashley’s story as far as it could go.

It’s also worth noting that much of the story’s flow wasn’t entirely in my hands—it was shaped by polls and feedback from Patreon supporters. This includes elements like the spade tattoo and even the endings themselves. Could I have taken more time to craft a better, more polished ending or a few alternative ones? Perhaps. But I’m not sure that would have entirely prevented criticism either.

Moving forward, I want to focus my energy on my new project and put my efforts into creating something even more satisfying for everyone. My aim is to make people happier with what comes next, and I truly hope I can achieve that.

For some reason I was hoping that before the game ended that some of the side bits would have been better fleshed out or extended. The female office colleague Carla, the weirdly shy neighbour Liam and Ashley's friend Beth, which seems to have just been abruptly stopped. I'd had an outside hope that the MC could have dumped Ashley for Beth after Ashley went off the rails and hooked up with old fatty Winston.

The worst part of this game was that irrespective of what choices you make Ashley gets a spade tattoo and then you're forced down the Winston and Ace route. Bizarrely at the end, you're given a Rasheed ending even though you consistently excluded him from everything. Yet you're excluded from the Winston end, even though she only finished banging him seconds earlier.

But hey, if you choose the MC route, you're stuck with a woman with a Spade tattoo ... sure that's going to work well on those family holidays. lol.
It'll make for an interesting conversation............ :)

Her tattoo? Oh, haha! Yes, Ashley's a huge fan of Motörhead, and her favourite song is obviously "Ace of Spades"! No, we're not swingers, and we're difinately not into any sort of interracial cuckold lifestyle! She did get gangbanged by the whole band back stage during their final tour, though...

How do you plan to handle this in your new game ? Personally i'm not a big fan when Patreons have too much influence on the story of a game. I liked the start of the game, but was also disappointed how it played out at the end.

i get having a patreon but locking story lines to only patreons is a little crazy to me, its not even a dlc. It was better when creators just had a early access patreon instead

I've already set three different paths currently for Harmony Haven. It won't stick to just one fetish as it was in Ashley.

I get that seeing parts of the content limited to Patreon might feel frustrating. But here's the reality: projects like this require a huge investment of time, effort, and resources. From assets to software, and everything in between, it all costs money. Without Patreon, I wouldn’t even be able to release a free version at all—let alone dedicate the time to create something worthwhile.

I do offer early access on Patreon, but honestly, it's not always enough to sustain the development. Public versions like this aren’t just for the free players—they also serve as a way to provide a teaser and give people a taste of the game while keeping the lights on. I’m trying to strike a balance between rewarding supporters and sharing the story with as many people as possible. I hope that gives a bit of perspective.

Ignore the haters. I really enjoyed the content and as the old saying goes:
You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time
