Regardless, they made a good point in that the dev makes and absurd amount considering their practices lol. Though pretty much every HS dev who started before 2020 has an large and loyal audience, now matter how much better some of the newer devs may be.

He does put other stuff out, just game updates are slow. There also just aren't many devs doing expansion focused games, especially VN format as opposed to clickers and action games, so he's got a niche audience that don't have a ton of options.
I feel like Hypnosis, like a lot of games, would have benefitted from having fewer side characters though, especially since the main cast are the only ones that are used for the main fetishes.

The problem with those other games is that the BE/AE isn't really good or it is to slow and the story sucks, the only one so far that I found (if we talk about VN type of games) is white russian. To some other degree there is cabin by the lake but I don't really enjoy the cycle the game does.
At some point, there was a walkthrough mod for this, wasn't there? In fact I can see from my old saves that there was. But the 'hints' supposedly provided in-game don't amount to much - for example, there's nothing for that first interaction with Lynn in the nightclub, and that's not an inconsequential choice. So - am I missing something, or did the proper walkthrough get abandoned at some point amid all the chaotically elaborated (non-)endings?
According to the public new year Patreon post, there's yet more of the Broken Watch ending coming, though in comic format (at least to start with). Next game releases are still intended to be Endowed.

Apparently the patrons voted for that, which I mean I kind of get since it's the only branch that's actually at the place fetish content-wise the game originally promised. I still think the scenario where the MC is abusing his power a little is more interesting though, it's unfortunate the author doesn't want to focus on it.

badass route is more entertaining than good-boy route (or however they're called in the official walkthrough), MC is more confident and selfish in a "at least i get my reward" and considering Laura's mess, you protect yourself slightly in advance.

I'll never understand the desire to dedicate so much time and energy to premature endings.
I get it, people want the unga bunga big booby content - it's so big they can't walk is a bit much for me, but the people funding the game know what they're here for - but I just cannot fathom pushing for that to take precedence over completing the actual main game and seeing where the primary narrative goes. If all of these endings were being added retroactively to a finished game as bonus content, fun little what ifs for players to enjoy going back and playing again, I'd have no issue with them, but the fact that there's no end in sight and we're still only getting content for side branches that have nothing to do with the main story infuriates me.
Perhaps the most egregious example is the one in Endowed where you can take the mafia's money and go back home. You've only just started the game and learned what its premise is going to be, and already you're going back home and spending time with two girls who have barely existed at all in the main narrative. Like, why? We haven't had any chance to even get to know them yet in the story, and we've got an ending dedicated to them? That's ridiculous.
If EUG was just doing small snapshots of alternate timelines where your choices end the story early, one little scene showing that future and then back to the title screen, I wouldn't mind it that much. That doesn't take too much time away from developing the main game. But for the frankly absurd cycles we're already seeing to be compounded by non-canon branch content - most of these endings have multiple endings in and of themselves! - is just so frustrating. Please, for the love of God, keep the story going! There is no point to playing if there's no story to follow!

to this that EUG started this whole mess as a way(his words) to not getting burned out from Hypnosis...and now we're at a point where he should develop the main game to not get burned out from the side-content/comics/novels he is writing.

i am so sad man, in one of the broken watch endings laura gives the idea that he should just take control of all the girls, treat them like he owns them, they would all agree, and he says no...
in the "badass" route i get to be selfish, consentually get ashley and her mom (hopefully a 3some eventually), in the process of consentually getting the twins, doing everything i want to anyone. no new content ever though...

meanwhile, there is me, that every once in a while i get in the mood to play this game, i play it, enjoy the badass-route(like to be nice to Haily/Jenny but it doesn't work too well with every other girls) and end up to renew my disappointment because the current status of the game, and i return here complaining about the game, and i can't review the game, because apparently it's against the rules to talk about the developer and how he/she develops the game(one of my review got removed because i wrote something about that), and my problem with that is: YES, a dev being slow lowers my opinion of the game, and i need to express it to other potential players, but i can't, so i prefer to post a comment.
