IF the game is complete then gallery unlock should just be an option not requiring patreon code.
That is just dirty dev tier patreon milking at that point. Not to mention 15$ sub to unlock that for a game that basically ripping oof someone elses story and characters.
Now i get why the game is such bloat and buggy mess, its to try to force people to buy that sub for scenes like this was a mtx gacha hell game or a AAA ubisoft mess.
Cool theory, except for the fact that "Gallery Codes/Unlockers" were a patron request, hence why my previous 4 games didn't have it, nor did the first releases of this game. If it was up to me, this game would never have had a gallery unlocker or codes at all. However, rather than removing it for the last release, I handled it in a way that benefitted my previous patrons as well, even if they're no longer subbed.
The game is not bloaty, this is a completed project with at least 20h of gameplay. If I could redo it from the start, I'd probably be able to save up about 1gb, but that would still be 4gb in total; Nor it is "Buggy", all the bugs that have been reported were fixed as you can see from the changelog, and the game despite being completed is still supported, so if more bugs are reported, they will be patched.
As for milker, I'd totally love to see you complete a game with only 1$ patron (As I did) or in general stick around 6+ years, completing every single project, releasing every month (at the beginning even two or three times a month) without ever having a delay or break. I only hit 1k this month, and it's already less than that now, for all the other years I did all of this for 500-600.
I actually have a question to do with that, since this isn't a harem game (Yes I know there is a Harem route). When the sequel is made how exactly will we access a Aiz route or any other character not done yet that you intend to implement? Or is the sequel only going to contain the current cast?
When this game ends, a World Save is generated and you'll be able to import it in the sequel. However, this will be optional.
In the sequel you'll be able to select a route at the start of a new game, for Aiz (or other heroines not available in this game), you'll have to start a new game without a route.
