You know this kind of does not really make sense on what you are saying because, What you are saying is if you are "gifting" Dev's money on patreon and expecting a refund is naive. You are half right there, see Patreon is about supporting a Creator's Hobby and to motivate them or at least that is what we are supposed to believe.But the fact is a lot of creators specially the ones that make H Games do NOT do this for support a "Hobby" majority do this for a living or to earn some money on the side meaning a second job and in effect are not doing a hobby but a job. Because at the end of the day it comes down to 2 things if you want to play it "legitimately". You want the game ? You must become a patreon. You want to play the update every month you must have a pledge of 15+ so as to avoid a leak making creator lose money and in turn ( note not all of em and just making a general comparison here) get's their panties up a bunch.
If this is done as a hobby then the rules of patreon state you must hide spicy stuff behind a $1 paywall which is fine, but you would put the release of every update also on a 1$ paywall and or upload it to a website like this yourself, However when you are not doing that and are looking to make money then you put it high up there to get as much money which means you are putting a game out there and are making promises, if you can or can't keep em that is your fault as a creator and people are allowed to be skeptical and pissed about it if you stab em in the back.
For example games on Kickstarter ( or similar websites ) who started out with the promise of release on steam and ended up going epic exclusive ( no matter the intention or excuse ) and broke their promise deserved all the backlash they got and the faith their fans had in them being shattered is by any and all means warranted, so how is that any different from this ? From a Technical point of view one you would say those are 2 different situations and things however the fact is, both made a promise and both broke em, both are doing it out of sheer profit and not because of a hobby and good will. Dont even get me started on Kickstarters that got 5+ times their goals and abandoned their projects after.
Anyways, The point I am trying to make here is. The reason patreon is setup for is not what it is being used for so that money for some of those creators isnt a "gift" it is based on a promise.
Expecting refunds definitly is being naive true, The fact however you saying and I quote " later that developer told his patrons to go fuck themselves, you have nobody to blame but yourself. " Also very true. So expecting people to be angry mad and distrusted and very wary of that same Dev is all warranted as they have proven they cannot be trusted.
I will give this "Completed" Version a try however for those who say well at least we got a completed version of a 3Diddly game so gotta admit it feels good or whatever... WRONG, if the "completion" is merely a rushed end or a shitty end or a end just put a completed on the back of it while leaving many questions out it is STILL INCOMPLETE period and with that being said does not prove shit. Like most people though ill see how things turn out, his skills are proven I have no doubt in that, it's his weak stand on criticism and not being able to stay on point with long projects that have proven to be quite lacking. So in his case time will tell.

The limited ending options and combined with the facts that all the sudden this game is both updated and "completed" reeks of rushing. I thought it was nice to see some endings, but with as many options throughout the entire game, only to be summed up in just a few limited endings... it's still incomplete in my mind. Yes, I am greatful to have any endings and any form of resolution at all, but it's basically summed up in 3-4 forced endings. (good wholesome happily ever after, currupt junky, corrupt non-junky, and then blackmail ending with same junky/clean route). The cuck/NTR route was more or less abandoned/ignored outright outside of she leaves him no matter what....this dissapoints me.

I suppose any ending of the game would make me disappointed. I feel that this game could have a few more updates in it as there was still further scope to corrupt katie. Anyhow we'll see what the next game will bring, but remember the bar has been set very high.

I have updated my MOD for 1.19. You can find a link in the first post.
I did not change much, I just made it an easier choice about what ending you want to see.
I had to since in my MOD you always take the morning after pill on the blackmail path, effectively disabling one of the endings
Let me know if you have any issues.

I hope that there will be an Episode 2 of Katie corruption game...
or better one new episode for each one of the endings of this version should be perfect!
I love the compact size of this game and even it is small there is a full emotional contents
and some of them deserve a continuation of the story
Hope....

This was when I was pretty bad at programming, and didn't know what people wanted in games. Essentially you're stuck on the purity route because you didn't accumulate enough manipulation points in the beginning of the game. Try to restart and get as many manip points as possible after each dialogue. (Try loading right after answering to see the max amount of manip points gained possible.)
I think the dev didn't know how work corruption in this kind of game. For me is bug or he/she make it like this.

FYI my MOD highlights the choices giving the corruption points
For Corruption path: always degrade the relationship
For blackmail/manipulation path: go 10-9-8-7-6-7-6 and then you are locked in to it
can you update it on current version, because I don't wont lost my corruptions point

How heavy is the IR in this? Am I able to avoid it, at least almost all of it, or is it core to the game?

And that is exactly what I meant with the Completed endings, I just played the game again from scratch as I had to as I deleted this game over a year and a half ago iirc, So I rushed the start a bit as I remember those quite well and took my time where things started to get blurry, Ill admit one thing, The endings at least are a lot better then what we got from say for example Adventures of Tara or Road Trip or the "sequel" Seaside Holiday ( both RPGM Games ), I think the endings are on the level of or a bit below games like: I Love Daddy,Life Is Good or Love Thy Neighbor( Renpy games ). Doesn't mean it is bad or good but doesn't mean it does not felt rushed either. If he wants to get to work on his new project then I say let em and we will see how that turns out. The main issue I have here after currently playing this is sure he did put in some work to keep the story consistent and mostly on track. BUT he was to say he wanted to finish this game for free as a matter of good will to show he is dedicated so that raised a new issue here, so he completed a game which could easily have taken an update or 2 more or he could have been quiet and actually worked on the game a bit more and just up and release it and say here I completed the game did some reworks and added and X amount of minutes extra to game play and we got multiple endings and bam that would have been just as effective. Instead he announces that he is going to finish the game for free and start charging for the new project or at least it is going to be behind a paywall. The problem here is... it is just one more update and finishing it with the game... one update does not restore much faith that is just a fact, you just finished one thing and gone straight for a pay walled new content. Look ill say let him do him, he is getting plenty of shit ( well deserved at that btw ) already so I don't want to push em away, I supported him all way back when he was doing Hannah Comics, defended him to bits when shit was going south only get shit on and after the whole Sarah creator followed by Malleck followed by his action and some other rushed and abandoned games I just lost faith in a whole lot of "creators" and will never ever blindly support anyone ever again. I hope his new project has a lot to offer and is a lot more up to today's standard and hope to see if he can bring up stuff on the level of Where it all began or A Mothers love or at least in a similar direction or even better something new and invigorating.
Like he said, time will tell. So we will see if he was all talk or nah, in the end the one that has more to lose is not us but him...
I wish em good luck either way.
