This might veer a little OT but I'll try to bring it back at the end. When I first got into AVNs, it was around the time Depraved Awakening finished and City of Broken Dreamers was just taking off. I had just finished Acting Lessons (yikes) and was very interested in VN development. I threw money at some developers I liked, joined their discords in some of the higher tier rooms, (expecting to get away from the "common rabble" and talk shop about the VN) and got disillusioned extremely fast. 10/10 times, other people kill it for me before the dev does. Loved chatting with Philly (using him specifically since I mentioned DA and CoBD) but eventually I just cut back on my support and kept it to lurking. From the other Patreons I support and looking in their discords, it's much of the same.This ^^
She slightly annoys me at times with her disingenious remarks and insulting people's intelligence (regarding her general playerbase) going on about 'how few' people caught this, or noticed that blah blah subtletly/hints/nuances...I'm pretty sure (or would like to at least think) most catch them, many of us here certainly catch them and we discuss them (sometimes a little too obsessively lol) and there's little point in Discord as for all its popularity (as a VN), the server is rather dead at times (Tess said that most 'subs' tend to contact her directly on patreon after a recent conversation was brought up regarding the server demographic). I really do sometimes wonder if she actually truly does understand her overall, general playerbase.
Great idea, and this thread is usually not well monitored

That's more than half the renders. That's not a small amount, and I imagine as she develops part 3 more, some of said renders will likely get lost in the planning phase. So while it's not as bad as losing a whole route, it's still problematic.OK, take it easy... breathe and don't get angry
Of the 200 renders, she says she will include 80, and as "punishment" for the DMs, the rest will come with part 3. It's not like the Demon Kane route, which was cut forever.
Oh...it isGreat idea, and this thread is usually not well monitored
So the Doms players have to wait an extra 4- 6 months for those Renders Like MilesEdgeworth said what if Tess forgets about them those extra 80-2oo something renders what then for us Dom players? Looking back Kane missing the party makes sense and Tess gave us Dom players some action with Sam but this getting out of hand we Dom players keep getting fuck overOK, take it easy... breathe and don't get angry

In my opinion, it's time to start behaving like a grown up and intelligent woman (just block inadequate subscribers/patrons and, if necessary, return their money), instead of freaking out because of the incomprehensible outpourings of a couple of jerks in her DM, while infringing on a huge number of normal and adequate players who don't behave like that. (all the things Mav wrote about in the post above)OK, take it easy... breathe and don't get angry

Like a couple of years ago or so, Angelica wouldn't have been considered an important character, now she's a t1 romance. What's not important for Tess storyline wise might not necessarily be important to us the playing audience.
So what you're saying is...I can slip into Tess's DMs, complain about Chloe enough, and she'll get deleted as punishment to give more screen time to Angelica. Tempting offer.
Getting rid of chloe wouldn't affect Angelica's screen time at all since their screentime is connected to each other
She has some Dominique scenes unrelated to Angelica.Getting rid of chloe wouldn't affect Angelica's screen time at all since their screentime is connected to each other
Yea, I've never been to the discord, but when you posted that comment from her a few pages back it caught me off guard that she was under the impression that people hadn't noticed it.
I'm convinced at this point that the only reason for Chloe's existence is to make Angelica look better in comparison.Getting rid of chloe wouldn't affect Angelica's screen time at all since their screentime is connected to each other

It's always good to be open to constructive criticism... It's too often a tendency to fall into the trap of trying to satisfy the needy sycophant. They can never be satisfied. That's why it's a mistake to try. The creative process demands a return to the original vision from time to time if only for the sake of balance...This ^^

We just don't constantly bombard the dev with questions/platitudes and sucking up (either by DM or in Discord). While I do at times talk to Tess privately, it's usually to confirm/ask something/have her check something for me and only when neccessary (or when for the second time, giving her back all her lost mask images). I would never personally dream of DM'ing a dev and saying, really great scene with x and y...I caught this/that/the other (or worse, as you mention, demanding something). The dev ain't my/your friend...if I feel the need to say something like that I'll do it here and tag them or on their server, not DM them.
