just understand, Life gets in the way, people (developer's) have responsibilities to themselves and others, they move on to different priorities, not to mention simple burnout.
And this is the problem with Patreon. Don't have a patreon page then. Simple isn't it. No responsibility and do/release stuff when you can. If you're going to have one then with taking money (regardless if it's considered as a 'donation'), comes responsibility. With responsibility comes commitment.

Funny how all things you mentioned don't mean shit in the real world if you have a real job.

Such a good game. No big drama and deaths, just fun and relaxed gameplay. Oh, and mother is the best! Just yummy.

And why is de dev. a Deleted Member?
Used the site to promote her project after sometime decided to leave
Better said: She couldn't handle so many Badass Fappers who just spill Bad-Shit bout the VN and joking bout him/her. Reason Number 1 because many Dev's say goodby to this Community. :unsure:

Would you made a bet about it? Let's say 500 Euros donate to UNICEF. I pay them if it's abandoned by Nyx and you pay when it's finished.
I love that you are so sure about this. Hopefully your conviction is true and Nyx will not abandon the project.

Why should she? Just because some players have no idea how much effort it takes to make a game and are mistaken in assuming that one person can deliver an update every quarter in their spare time? There are two options for devs: 1. small updates with little content and therefore short times between updates or 2. longer waiting times but a decent amount of content. Personally, I'd rather wait a few months and then have one, two or more hours of playtime instead of getting an update once a month, which I can finish in fifteen minutes.

It is incomprehensible to me why there is always such impatience. Nyx is transparent about the development process. She regularly gives information about what she is doing and what is still to come. She explains in detail when there were problems and even when she wasn't able to work much on the project. Unlike some other devs, she never lied. At least as far as we can tell. On the contrary, she has now delivered numerous updates. Sometimes the waiting time was longer, sometimes shorter. Apart from your own impatience, there is no reason to panic like this.

And quite apart from that: even if the development should be stopped at some point. 99% of the people who panic like this didn't pay a dime. So why do they care? There's one rule: only pay a dev as much as it is worth to you. If a game is abandoned, you haven't paid more than it's worth, so there's no reason to be angry or worried. But let's not kid ourselves. We're on a piracy board here. There is always a lot of talk, but there is mostly nothing behind it. We take the games for free, believing just because you play them that you have any rights to anything. Nyx owes us nothing, only her Patreons. Although, no, neither do they. Donations are donations. The principle behind a donation is that you shouldn't expect anything in return. It is different when buying. When you make a buy, you pay for something in return.

Me too. I want to support NyxValeria because I realize the amount of work is she doing. And well done. I love this game. but I'm going to wait for a new update to make sure she hasn't abandoned the project.

I agree. I'm not impatient at all but I don't really know how this whole business works. I have never played or participated in this type of games. I just see that the vast majority of projects are abandoned before completion. I'm reading all the messages in this post now but I'm still on page 39. Lol. Right now I'm inclined to think that the project won't be abandoned, but I can't be sure. What I can realize is what a great job the dev. is doing, how much work it is and that she has the project very clear in her head.

Plus people seem to forget with games that have a lot more split options/content it's a lot harder to produce decent size updates that compare to previous ones due to being so split up with all the options that each rabbit hole requires just as much attention. You may only get small amounts of content due to the path you chose from the story but the dev has literally put it about 6x the work from the beginning because now they are keeping up with x amount of story paths all with there own content etc... I u derstand how math and real life works when it comes to hobby projects so people will just have to learn to be patient.. this game in no way has shown signs of being abandoned which in today's world is already a huge plus lol so im just excited about the next story update and regardless I love the direction it has been heading..

I'm part or the Valeria/Elena crew here so I just hope the next updates caters to those sides of the story a bit more.. but if not then so be it, eventually the story will unfold and I garentee I won't be disappointed with nyx decision either way. Love this game, love the dev and thanks for all the work so far!! Hope it keeps going forever lol it makes me sad when stories end after getting so attached to the characters!

Story Wise how good it's the game .
And the game it's 12.5 gb how much content does the game has
1: For my liking this VN is placed in the Middle-Class story wise.

2: Good amount of Contend, but for now after 3 years of Development not enough. (Compared to some other Dev's work in this timespan)

What's with the high rate exactly? Am I missing something or is this game below average? I played around chapter 4 then could not continue, is it getting any better? :confused:

It definitely was my bad. I deleted all the saves played from the start with a little bit more open mind and voila! it is indeed a very good game. Especially after midgame. I found each and every character annoying and sorta boring especially MC at the start but I changed my mind completely. I still think there were too much of coincidence just to move the story forward but other than that, it is a top tier game.
Though, I still find it weird all the characters are connected somehow but hence the name Intertwined I think it is kinda necessary. :giggle:

Some people like the story and some do not, its not for everyone. personally i like it, and the title couldn't be more correct as how most characters in the game seem to be intertwined with the other in some way or another. most us have been around for a while and look forward to the progress with each update, and some people have given up and walked away lol I'm guessing its a love/hate sort of thing..?

Well for me hate then love type of the game. I am gonna be honest up until ch5, there was too much coincidence and stuff cannot and should not happen, then narrative channelled through a way that MC's options are felt like not enough or fake choices all together. Even I thought wtf, is this a KN because whatever I choose story was telling me the same things. So I could not continue the game and I came here and ranted about it. Then I thought with this rating, wrong party should be me, so I played it again and after story started to unravel, it really became an incredible game. I still have some reservations about the game though; I think some of the options are too punishing, I still feel some of the options are as useless, some connections between some characters are too out of blue etc. but if you could look pass them there is a gem behind it. Btw, I'll probably need up to 15 different path saves because I genuinely want to see each characters origin stories. :giggle::giggle::giggle:
