[This is very interesting. I'm breaking balls to do something to update every two months. I've never made more than $600 a month. How does this guy do it?
Can anyone tell me how he has so many patrons?
Meh, the environment is clearly this one, without changes:Thats just a pointless pinup render that he probably took several days making, pushing the actual update back even further.
Knowing stoper, i bet it still took him a few days, just like the renders you see in-gameMeh, the environment is clearly this one, without changes:
https://f95zone.to/threads/mediterranean-haven.181125/
Then playing dress-up and hair - okay, 30 mins.
Slapping a pose from some pose pack on top of that - another 5-10 mins)
Putting up HDRI as lightning source, putting up Key and Fill lights, if needed - it's, like, 10-15 mins maximum.
Setting up a camera and lens - 5-6 mins)
And with Jess being the only character shown, it probably took him 2 hours max to do everything. And that's rendering time included, even if it's 8k ULTRASUPERHD
No matter how it may sound to someone, he is a real professional! The quality of his work is at the highest level, but he dug his own grave - in terms of this project.This is very interesting.

Hi, everyone.
As I was working on the re-writes I was thinking of what the best way forward is. And I decided I'll give myself till the end of the year to see if I can get back to a speed more similar to that at the beginning of the project. If not, I'll have to change the format of the game. One option is the traditional VN style, with displaying character avatars on a simple scene background for the most conversations, and full image sequences for the important events. The other is to have an image or two for the casual events, and full sequences for the important events. If we arrive at that point, I'll probably do a couple of demo versions to see which one works better. With the current format and the current style, I'll just get old before I finish the game. Let me know what you think.
My idea for working slowly on a side content didn't go exactly as planed. Instead of making an image now and then as a side distraction, I ended up making a full 100 images scene. I want to have one more before I share it, so that will happen some time after the update for the game is ready.
That's about it for now. Have fun and thanks for your support.

Excellent answer! I will take note of what you wrote. Thanks![
Oh, there are reasons for that, mate.
Just as a guy on this forum that has seen your game popping up on main page and never trying it despite FemProtag being my preferrable type of games at this point:
1)visuals on previews look kinda outdated. May sound harsh, but...It seems that you're using Gen3 models. And it doesn't catch my eye.
People can laugh at DPC's yearly q&a and him cherry-picking questions, but one useful thing he taught in there was the key for my rendering quality growing - Lighting is 50% of the good render. Textures, shaders and camera angles are the rest.
2) Jessica has the look of someone close to 30. Almost a MILF, but not a MILF. And good old boobies. Huge boobs for FemProtag gain more interest from Average Joe. In your game(solely based on previews, again) girls look like they're in their late teens. Meh for me personally.
3) NTR is a niche, after all. Good old harem still makes bigger buck. Hence generic stuff like Grandma's House and that game about dude playing basketball became hits despite being generic both in terms of visuals and story. IMO
4) Stoper jumped on AWAM bandwagon just in time. Peeps were frustrated with that game and were looking for alternatives. The demand was there. And here comes JOHN. Plus Covid times)
Small bedroom analysis and the reasons why your game, as an example, hasn't caught my interest despite appearing on the Latest Updates page pretty frequently.
I'm also improving myself while making my game. You're right about the renders. I fucked up a lot in the first versions. But I don't know if you've played my game. The renders in the latest versions are very different from the old ones. If you have played my game, I would like you to comment on it. Good or bad.Since you asked... You have to start by making good beautiful renders
There is currently no lesbian route in my game. But there will be in the second season. 4 years ago when I was writing the story I made a mistake. "Multiple protagonist" Actually what I wanted to do was just a "female protagonist" game.Does your game have any lesbian routes? Are you forced into sexual situations like a boyfriend you can't dump? Does your game have interesting choices in how to progress the story?
I think this dev is successful because of how attractive Jess' original model looked, the story had some branching paths, there are lesbian routes. My biggest con with this game is being forced to sleep with the boyfriend in the beginning. I also dislike that trying to be friendly with Parker seems to force the relationship to turn sexual even when that's not what I wanted. So I enjoy not being forced into sexual situation that I'm not interested in.
He's certainly not a real professional, but he's very talented in what he does for sure (making beautiful erotic renders). A real professional would be DPC or Drifty for instance.No matter how it may sound to someone, he is a real professional!

we will know in December... is it abandoned ?
Bruh, we live in world were Americans are paying taxes for war they cannot point on world map if their life depended on it.I just have one question for his brain dead zombie supporters?
What the fuck are you paying him for?
Do you like reading about excuses over and over again.
Just send this meme to his Patreon

Do you actually read the reviews people wrote up? Despite the fact that your renders look all pretty flat to me, especially compared to Stoper who is at least trying to play with different light sources, people seem to enjoy them. What they don't praise is the writing. Maybe should invest more time in this aspect.This is very interesting. I'm breaking balls to do something to update every two months. I've never made more than $600 a month. How does this guy do it?

not forgetting incest.Does your game have any lesbian routes? Are you forced into sexual situations like a boyfriend you can't dump? Does your game have interesting choices in how to progress the story?
Stopper has been in this industry for a long time, just Hard news is his personal project!He's certainly not a real professional, but he's very talented in what he does for sure (making beautiful erotic renders). A real professional would be DPC or Drifty for instance.
To piggy back on this, the successful female mc games seem to either go the depraved sex addict/deep corruption route or the branching paths with avoidable content, of which one path is lesbian or at least has some lesbian options. Without the option at least you are cutting off a portion of your potential audience.There is currently no lesbian route in my game.
