Since everyone is giving their two cents, here's mine that no one asked for but I'm giving it anyway.
When I found Lewd Mod around two years ago on Itch, I subbed to HH on Patreon. I thought it was a decent thing to do to support the creator since I really liked the content and wanted more. It's unique and relatively high quality, albeit very simple. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a decent thing to do for those who like the game.
What made me stop the monthly donations and get an account here instead was the same thing that turned The Walking Dead stale - a lack of direction. He's established a repertoire of elements that he can comfortably keep without changing much. His Patreon numbers are quite high so why fix what isn't broken? I can see his side of why it's more rewarding to run things this way.
There's some talk on here about how he isn't producing content fast enough. Considering he had reached a sub goal set at around $4000 per month that said he would work on this full time, I have to agree. This doesn't feel like a project that someone is committing their full time to, having produced the content at around the same speed if not faster before the goal was reached. Though it's been a while since I've had access to the Patreon so I'm not sure if I'm misremembering, if he's removed it, or offered an explanation. However, I suppose we should remember that this is just a dude's hobby and he can choose to stop at any time.
Lewd Mod 1's gameplay modifiers (temporary rules) and narratives were definitely better. There have been a few rules here and there such as spotting sex toys or denying covered nipples, but not much story to go along with it. Nothing like Darla D and the protests.
My dream for this game's direction is to just move things along story-wise to a sense of culmination with some evolution of the gameplay. Spend time on drawing out a rich overarching narrative such as where we are actually talking to these characters in-person instead of messages. Build up to a situation where we meet Sophie, Ingrid, Maddie, Kurt in the office, either for a few days, or permanently. Point to the end of COVID restrictions and "upper management" wanting people to come in as the reason or something. Could even do a day out with Ellie or some shit first to gauge it. Let us FUCK Sophie. Sorry, that was strange of me to say. But hell, maybe even give the protagonist a backstory and an visual appearance in the form of HR checking our profile for an annual review, then use that as a basis for humanising the character and developing interpersonal relationships with the other characters. The point here is that there's a shit ton of viable ideas that aren't being explored, even if it means changing the gameplay. We're all too used to just tapping yes/no on pictures and want something else to happen. Or at least have something dramatic happen. Please don't let this be The Walking Dead.
Use those skills to make a comic such as a prequel or spin-off of one of the characters. Doesn't even have to be the same art style - could be an opportunity to safely experiment with new styles while enriching your game. Or don't. But there is a fandom for Lewd Mod that is clawing for more.
Understand that HH Richards is probably burned out after working on this for three years, and wants to stick to a method that just works as something he can make money on the side with. But I can still wish.
I do still like the game, but there is a reason I'm here instead of on the Patreon.
