Slow burn thrives on tension and suspense. You see the progression, each event or encounter building on the last. Things get lewder, and lewder until the first sex scenes happens. This goes at different paces depending on the characters involved. Sometimes slow burn is really slow and stays that way throughout. Sometimes it starts as a slow burn, but as it progresses it speeds up. Like a snowball rolling down a hill.
I think the buildup in these games can be the best and even most fun part, if it's written well. But the issue for developers is that they don't actually plan these things in advance. They make it up as they go along. That's why a lot of games get stale after the first sex scenes, the developer doesn't have anything to work towards anymore. They've had sex...now what? So instead of continuing the progression towards the sex, they go into a holding pattern to try to delay it. Not because they don't want sex, but because they don't know what to do after.

Hey bro it's already 24 jan still no update
I agree and normally like slow burn games but when the slow is insanely slow it gets really old.
Burnout or not my ass! When you drag something out intentionally (make the excuses you want) and lose it THAT"S ON YOU. More broken promises and late releases with more excuses. With what you make this is basically a full time job at this point grow up and do your job making more monthly then a lot of hard working people who are probably still supporting this milk machine. I supported the first few years of this game and it still hasn't made much progress except husband which lets be honest doesn't really count for most people. Sorry to rant but to many support and suck the tet of some of these devs to much but to each their own.
Right there with you, don't be sorry for the anger you are expressing that I guarantee a lot of other people also feel including myself. He is taking those people who donate to him for a ride and he should be ashamed. Its almost fraud honestly but he never promises anything.
Saddest part for me though is him and AWAM dev are setting a trend others are trying to follow with worse games and its sad to see because i see so many games with potential and they quit after a few updates. Like home prisoner man this game gives me the feels that most dont but only 2 tiny updates and both are like 3 or more months apart for only a few minutes of play. So much potential wasting away.
It is sad, I was getting ready to be a patreon for a couple of devs because of their games but the trend is making me rethink and wait until more of the game comes out. Not all the devs of the games I like are doing this but you are right, and if people by the hundreds continue to give to this do nothing dev then he has ZERO reason to change his behavior AND other devs will think they can get away with it too.
Yea and im always trying to direct people to support a great dev that makes project myriam. They were new when they started and have been on time with quality content updates and a good story. To me they are showing what alot of older devs and new one can learn from imo.
Nice, I will check that game out. Haven't yet, unfortunately I am a very picky person when it comes to the games I like. Half the time I don't even know why I don't like certain games when they are sometimes very similar to ones I do like. Its very frustrating.
Yea its not for everyone because it has some kinks that people dont like but everything you dont like you can avoid.

And I would have thought a man that eats pancakes like that wouldn't be afraid of getting his chin and stache messy going down on women either.
Thats good to know, I like games with options to avoid stuff. Downloading it now, thanks for the suggestion.

"Hey boss you know that car we spent 6 months working on?"
"Yea, what about it?"
"How about we only charge them for 1 of our 6 months of labor? That way we make less money!"
"How about we get paid for all the months we worked on it. If we stop working we pause payment instead?"
"Oh... Yea I forgot about that... Thanks boss."

Or it would make you work harder on the update and not be lazy and take months to do a single months work

sure why not.Or it would make you work harder on the update and not be lazy and take months to do a single months work
I see no correlation between the speed of development and the money earned.
If the money goes down, the developers will think the game doesn't like it and will be abandoned as unprofitable.
if the money goes up, talk about milking.
The only thing money can make is that they can create a development team and have more people work on the same project.
But it's not easy to get others to do what you have in mind.

Do you have any idea how long it takes to build a good quality game with good content?Or it would make you work harder on the update and not be lazy and take months to do a single months work
You need to have tons of visual art, and plenty of coding and writing to go along with it and you need to put them all together like puzzle pieces in just the right spot.
It's not a fast process. It's complex and time consuming.
Hardware limitations slow down everyone's rendering. Rendering a single render after it is posed can take hours. Then often times it goes through a photo shopping process. Posing takes a bit of time as well. That's just a single render and you are talking hours of time, and that render is not yet coded or written in. Animations are even worse.
Additionally the world doesn't stop around game development. Most developers have other jobs that they must work to pay the bills. Not to mention real life relationships as well that take time, and unfortunately we all need to sleep at some point. There are only so many hours in a day.
stoper is a hard working dev, and a bit of a perfectionist. Love the game.

Getting a competent team mate in development is a great way to improve development rate. That could be hard to find someone that you trust and they have the same motivation as you.
Another great way is hardware upgrades. That can cut time off of the rendering process.
