Looks like guaranteed now no new update till next year, and also no one will be charged (Patreon) either until next year :cry:



Hi everyone, I'll be pausing the Patreon most likely for the rest of the year. The next few months includes multiple multi-week long trips , introducing my son to his extended family, and other milestones. I'll still be working whenever possible, rendering when at home and writing when abroad. However, this split focus makes me uncomfortable with keeping the Patreon going until things stabilize again. I'll make an announcement before resuming billing again.

Cheers,
Dom

I swear nowadays most avn games take a year for an update, it's a bit ridiculous imo.
This dev though was working on another game, Personal Trainer, and retouching it up, fixing lots of bugs, adding an actual ending to it, adding some much-needed love and launching it on Steam. Which it actually did and has been received quite well.

This is why this game is taking longer than what was intended for a new update.

I'd like to see how long it takes you to update a game, especially when this dev has a real job, and brand-new baby to take care and other real-life responsibilities.

I have Personal Trainer on Steam, but I can't find In a Scent, isn't it published there yet or is it made unavailable for some reason?

Xlnt game, the writing is exceptional. I think it's great that the dev is taking advantage of the best parts of life, which absolutely includes family.

Having said that, and knowing there won't be an update until next year some time, I would like to ask everyone to look away while I express my disappointment - this will be very embarrassing for me...

Rant: Ignore if you get triggered by those.

Sad to learn that the dev went backwards to, what I would call, an inferior product - Personal Trainer. I really hope that In a Scent does not get put into the garbage with all of the other abandoned games with amazing potential.

I know many of these artists need support in order to finish, I just wish there was a better way to guarantee funding and results this way both the devs and supporters get what they want. I have supported many of these games and I just won't do it anymore. Far to many are money grabs or the dev is "no longer inspired" by that project. I will never say that a dev's responsibility is to their supporters over family/friends. That being said the bad apples have spoiled the bunch for me and while from what I can tell, this dev seems genuine. But how can anyone trust that? Why would anyone support them in this manner if they ghost the product that their supporters really wanted. In reality, if the dev had never started In a Scent and just went directly to finishing Personal Trainer, that would have shown that the dev has the ability to focus and finish 1 product from beginning to end without getting distracted with the "shiney new thing". It would not surprise me if the dev decides to scrap it and create a brand new project. All I know is that if I did support In a Scent from the beginning, I would have stopped supporting a long time ago.

End Rant

I wish this dev well. I mean no harm/ill will by my rant.
