I have just played Alexandra and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
You should check out Life with Mary and Haley's Story if you haven't done so already. Both are being developed by others but Ptolemy is involved with the writing of both and both are amazing games.
Yes he does, but if you're a patreon page, it's easy to see that he hasn't posted anything related to IR in the past month.
I have played Life with Mary...also recently...Friggen Awsome.
. I'll need more GPU's to keep up with all the renders myself. With the rest of the Team, we render everything on 7 1080ti's and 1 1070 split between us.
We did actually have a number of patreons asking about IR too and asking when the next update was. Ptolemy honestly did not know how popular it was. As he has not been on F95 in forever. He's a workaholic he got lucky his job promoted him to a Work at home position and when he is not doing that he spends almost all of his time working on games. He makes me feel lazy but we all work hard to bring you as many games as we can. That's why we work with other Developers like @lifewithmary456 and Viit as for balancing Alex and IR updates we would love to be at the point where we can support 2 games a month on our own patreon. But we simply don't have the resources to do so. 3 games updated each month is about as good as we can do right now without quality going down. Right now our biggest immediate goal is to get supporters for Haily's Story so we can continue to make it. Long-term we are all going to need to upgrade our hardware to speed things up and because we have put a few hundred hours in rendering on them. We would also like to go back to Dreaming of Dana and re-render some stuff and fix it a bit and Maybe a Sequal too. Also, make more games and hire a programmer to help us make a game or two that has more options and pathways. 100% of what is made goes back into the game production
Does "patreon" have a one time pledge option available yet or is it still monthly pledges BS. Actually I'd like to avoid that site all together if I could. Is there another way/place someone could buy the team a round of coffee?
I've heard mixed things about buy me a coffee from other dev's. I'm told it can be very unreliable.
Dev's seem to be walking away from BMaC because they're having delays with Paypal payments/they're stopping Paypal payment support. I don't think there's one particular platform that everyone's moved to so it's a work in progress?
Thanks, Glad you like it. If the other games drop then we may drop this one as before we came out with the Alexandra VN our Patreon subs were dropping now we are getting a ton back. While I listen to folks on F95. Ptolemy does not. He Still holds a grudge on how much money F95 cost him on Dana. Became popular on F95 but was not reflected in Memberships on Patreon. Same with IR right now. Don't get me wrong We both love making these games but if it does not make business sense to us. Then we have to cut dead weight. Our point is our time is worth something tangible. If we were not trying to make money off of it we would have just published it here in the first place.
Thank you for your work.
That's kind of depressing to hear to be honest... Dana is one of this site's "popular games" you'd think if it was that beloved at least some of the people who voted and liked it that much would have stopped by to give Ptolemy some cheddar...
Currently, I have no Idea what Ptolemy has planned long-term for IR. A threesome with Christine and Nadine would make a lot of sense. Kelly and Darla are a maybe. Don't think we have done a threesome in any game sense making Dana.
