No, you're not a shill. You're just embodiment of this site's many, many fabulously optimistic, naive users who're evaluate games basing on its "muh potential". "Wow, this looks promising! And the dev said there will be this and that, I'm so exited! 10/10". Their fundamental problem is that they're cannot tell the difference between "usual" devs who are working on a project with tight budget in mind and even a full time devs with successful patreon page, not to mention devs who are working on adult games as a hobbie in a free time from their main job.Their game looks good. I enjoy high quality content. If the price for good things is patience then let us wait! I'm not a shill, I'm opinionated. I'm still waiting on the translation of Rance X and the first real, official news on Starfield and TES 6. Anyway, if my timescale says anything I'm a patient man with relatively unique taste. I like what I like.
In the first case devs are tend to show as little as possible because it's a work in progress and quality of the final product supposedly will be better in many ways. They are making exceptions for kickstarter-like model and popular now early access, (which might be very confusing since many patreon devs are starting to use it as well), but even there it's usually a proper vertical slice of the game which represent what release version will be, minus cosmetic stuff, some minor things etc.
Now, in the second, "patreon" case devs are tend to show as much as possible to get maximal attention right away and will throw any possible fancy build to the audience, put any avaliable content into it, no matter how well it fits and, most importantly, no matter how it will be different from the future builds, not to mention a release version which might not happen at all (and that would not be a rare case, unfortunately with this development model).
My point is, you have to evaluate this type of games for what they are now, not might be some day. It's fine to change opinion later and I'm personally would be glad to do it regarding IW but today this game is clearly deserves what it gets here. Too little (to say the least) content to be even remotely decent porn game, and well, simply too bad in general to worth anything as a standalone VN/adventure game.
