I think happy scene in this game are counted as halloween event too, along with Kirin caught MC and Ayane at beach event. That's because both of 'em are spooky.
No, the 'happy' scenes are the horror element of the game and usually come up with a sudden white noise sound. They usually have some sort of plot to them that, at least alone, is a bit nonsensical, but that fits into the bigger picture that is slowly forming over time. The Halloween event and Kirin catching the MC in the beach event are just that, the Halloween event and part of the beach event, not 'happy' scenes. The 'happy' scenes can also be described as the ones found under the 'secret' category on the event tracker.
Me personally, I always wait until the Part 2 is out to get a full update experience with only one download, since my download is so slow. I'm currently waiting until its free release. I'll download it if it leaks, but I'm not going to start messaging mods demanding the leak gets released or anything like that.
Right, but the point of that conversation is the people who link it while it is still patron/subscriber only, also known as leaking it, aren't doing it this time for some reason. I don't wait so that way I can have less to complete in part 2, though I do get a very bad feeling that is going to come back to bite me in the same way as inadvertently being a bad homie to Rin did.
It is a weird limbo that anyone who is not patron gets in.
On one hand, you recognize that what Selebus is creating is a work of art, leaving you hungry for more, and scanning the updates for the new one every time patrons got an update.
And on the other hand, you recognize that what Selebus is creating is a work of art, making you realize that he does indeed deserve the money in full, and leaks right after he posts the new version is a dck move given the effort he's putting in.
Leaves everyone in this manner in a perpetual state of "I fully condone paying for his work and don't think leaks is what he deserves, but you can bet your left nut that i'm downloading that sht the moment i see it somewhere."
It is tempting now that I have the power to leak it myself, but I must resist for his sake.
With the update not being leaked for several days, I'm kinda curious if the number of patrons have gone up. I hope it has.
I'm not sure about SubscribeStar since I don't think it openly displays the stats Patreon does, at least not yet if they plan to, half their site is mentioned as still being in beta, so we'll see. I don't really pay attention to the Patreon since I chose the alternative, so I don't have baseline numbers to go off of there. I did go there once while I was looking into my benefits, which I ultimately gave up and went to the Discord and Selebus himself. However, I do think the patron and subscriber count has risen as is deserved.
Someone made the thread to request the update a few hours ago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now up to uploader to decide to leak it or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That was surprisingly slow, not a complaint, just an observation as this game typically gets requested pretty quick from what I understand, not to mention the usual speed of leaks in general.
