LOL, these comments have nothing to do with what I just wrote except the last sentence. You just get annoyed at any criticism and start hitting random buttons. I just explained your "strategy" or maybe the lack of confidence. Most likely explanation is that you refrain from main characters and focus on new bs characters that nobody cares because you think if you give enough content for main girls, your audience will be satisfied and be done with the game or maybe they won't be satisfied at all, considering the quality drop of characters in scenes. So you continue with endless bs character content and hold on to the "carrot" as long as you can. Also hide the slow performance of creating scenes under the disguise of " it's a different game, with story, with depth and so on". Come on. You fool enough people, you do you but don't get annoyed when a few of us call it out.
The game has free public releases (and not like a freemium game where u then need to pay) & Patreon supporters do so voluntarily. The reason people complain of milking is because they voluntarily show their earnings?
Personally I am not a patreon supporter on this one as I tend to support smaller projects that are getting underway (once they have shown its not a cut & run). Patreon supporters are free to stop at any time, its their choice how they spend their money.
This game is more Hogwarts focused than Hermione focused, so its more expansive in terms of the characters. If you checkout Witch Trainer Silver it also has slow updates and often focuses on side characters (given the game was entirely about hermione) but again I like that game, when its ready for a release they release something.
Is the dev time slow - yes, but if i am getting a free dinner the chef can take their time.
My big complaint? The game is extremely mod unfriendly outside of altering images. If they are going to take huge gaps for updates at least let people make their own fun in those gaps.
Edit: Second complaint, Daphne never does the things in the cover art (if you use it as art to promote your game then probably should have a storyline like that in there).
