Honestly, it does seem like you are just feeling a bit stressed or some shit. But the thing is, you will still feel like you are making people wait. That's something that can't be helped as it comes naturally with creating something that is released in multiple parts. No matter what you do.
That being said, what's done is done. It's your project and suddenly taking the decision back is implausible at best. So yeah, just make sure you don't regret it. That would be an awful outcome.
Yeah, I do feel the pressure and a lot of frustration. Last week I lost almost a days work because of a stupid lighting bug in HS. The one clear day I had. So there's no doubt it's not going amazingly well, but I'm happy(ish).

If things change and I feel I'm back on top of a reasonable production effort, then I think it'd be fair to return. I don't see it happening with The Redburns, but another project? Right now I'll keep working on these girls and other bits and boobs.

mhm now i feel kinda bad for my last post.

since i asked, or rather, passively asked for an end of month release, i feel like im
putting pressure on you. hell no i dont wanna do that. its just that im eagerly waiting
for your story to progress because its a lot of fun to read (and fap ofc).

"If things change and I feel I'm back on top of a reasonable production effort, then I think it'd be fair to return. I don't see it happening with The Redburns, but another project?"

do i understand this right that at the moment you pause the VN until you have more free time?
and this is the reason for cancelling the patreon payment?

again, no pressure or anything, i just wanna understand and follow your thoughts.
sorry my english isnt the best, so i have one or two understanding problems.

tldr: He feels pressured because he takes money for releases, which he can't push out as often as he'd like. He keeps working on Redburns, but will not take money to decrease said pressure. So yeah, he still works on Redburns, but will not take money and hinted at RL stuff happening.

Don't worry Taito I didn't take any offence at being asked when the next update would drop. And, as Nubatron says, The Redburns is still in production, it's just that I've stopped using Patreon for now.

This game is dark. It's good but it's "too real" to be sexy for me. The fact that the mom seems entirely against against and not at all into taking care of the MC "sexual needs", resorting to drinking to get through it apparently is depressing. the end of the content I got to with the reveal about what the sister has been doing and the MC snapping at her was so uncomfortable, the MC scares me.

The story is really good, the characters are pretty interesting and unique. The girls are beautiful, of course. And the sex scenes themselves are hot. I'm just more interested in the drama and the plot makes the sex scenes... un-sexy sometimes. And there's my issue since fapping is half the reason I play games like this.

Uh do choices change stuff? Cause the mom did drink but not because of what she was doing with MC. She like giving Handjobs to MC even though she says she doesn't. The reaction to what the sister revealed was pretty reasonable I thought. Most of the games is pretty happy to be honest, aside from the characters being a little bitchy in the beginning and the end of chapter 3.

Well, it's true the drinking part comes after catching the sister give MC a handjob which isn't exactly better. Then she confronts the sister in a very real and very harsh way, not really conducive to silly happy henta. I thought the sister was gonna run away from the home after that or something. I know I'd consider it. As for the mom "secretly" liking doing sex things, that's probably true but she acts the exact opposite of that for now and it makes me feel like a monster when it happens. The game's tone can be funny at time. That one survivor girl outside is funny and cute. The three main characters interaction feel way serious too me though and I just feel sad for them, not amused or aroused.

I mean, it seems to me the mother only takes care of MC libido because the alternative is to kick him out to die in the zombie wasteland. And she's not a cold blooded killer... this is getting personal now but i've been given speeches about how worthless I am and threatened to get kicked out of my home by my mom enough times to feel uncomfortable when I see it happen. Admittedly that's my issue, not the game's, though.

Oh and call me pessimistic but I don't really expect a happy ending in a zombie apocalypse story.

You are missing just a ton of subtext, conveyed mostly non-verbally in-game.

That sucks dude. I didn't find the game too sad aside from when they were talking about how they were gonna kick MC out. That was sad and made me a little angry. To be fair though we don't really get to see what he was doing for them to get to that point.

Thanks for the considered post TomberryDude
It is a concern that I've added too much drama to, what's definitely, a porn game. However I don't think I could've made it work another way.

Of course it has lots of porn logic, but it I felt it had to be reasonable on how they struggle to let go of the last bits of their old life. The apocalyptic situation lends itself to high stress and then big releases (I think).

On some of your points, the next chapter isn't going to be comfortable (depending on your previous choices) but I can say this...
Yes, it's set in an apocalypse and trouble is coming, but regarding the main characters, they're changing to fit their new relationships. And your choices will either make it easier or difficult for them, but there's no sadism and the aim is to get the girls.

There are still some reveals on what you've seen so far, and hopefully you'll stick around to see them.

After this, I swear I'll do a straight-up sex romp. I've already written one about an old haunted school, some teen ghost hunters and a watch that can stop time. Expect that to land in 2030.

Thanks for the reply. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I want straight up no-brain porn. I just prefer happy stories. I still think the game is very good and well written and yes, I'll stick around.

The mother is clearly a closet pervert. You can see this when she first tries to "relieve" her daughter. The fact that she try to do it first to her means that it is not a case where she "does it so she does not have to kick the MC out". That is obviously what she tells the MC and herself though.
Then, there is also the fact that MC has the option on some occasions to try and refuse her. Which will end up with her going on the aggressive. There is no reason to feel bad, as she most likely wants it more (at the beginning) than the MC. Though even then, the danger of being kicked out is real as it later turns out during Chapter 3.
I guess it would be about time for the MC to do something for the mother at this point. We will see what the future holds. :sneaky:
