Aren't these just generic honeyselect models? Honestly 2 updates a year is INSANE with how competitive this space is

It's painful, but that's how it's going to be. The devs have real-life jobs and families, too. Besides, they're receiving the monetary support they need (>$3000 per month), so there's little incentive to churn out updates faster than required. I can only hope that this doesn't go down the Pizza Hot route of milking the game and blueballing for half a decade with biyearly updates.

Fortunately, the upside to the long wait is that there will be at least 2–3 hours of content so that you won't run out of gameplay so quickly... and these new minigames will keep you busy until the next update in July or August 2026.

Sadly when morons blindly support devs when no updates are happening the devs generally just start milking. I subbed after the initial and for a bit after the first update but when they said not until end of dec for another update I was like yup looks like milking to me and I will wait until the next update to consider subbing again. I recommend people do it that way, makes the devs have to actually produce something in order to get something.

You guys are super human if you can have a full time job, spend time with family and friends and still develop a game with meaningful bi-monthly updates or whatever ridiculous short time period you are expecting from other people.

This is exactly how I see it too. As soon as I read that there won't be an update until end of Dec, I knew that I couldn't support the game. It's a good game though and I wish it would get regular updates, then I would be more than happy to support it.

I just hope it doesn't end up abandoned like so many other cool games. I need more female protag games and this one has so much potential.

OMG! Those new images look lovely. I think I need to go change my panties.

You talk about milking, but when the next update drops this month and you get more than 3 new hours of gameplay (going fast, not reading everything, and doing the minimum amount of minigames), I’d really like to see where the “milking” is. Also, please enlighten us and tell us how many games, indie or AAA, offer that much content (+12hs) in less than a year of development. After that, you can call us milkers again.

If everyone unsubbed whenever an update wasn’t monthly or bi-monthly, most indie projects would die instantly. In our case, we actually feel people’s support, and that pushes us to work harder and deliver as much content as we can. If the patron count worked the way you suggest (close to nothing), the project would move at a much slower pace. And even then—patrons or not—we still promised the game will be finished, as we also promised the update would arrive this year.

PS: Someone mentioned we're making more than 3k. That would be nice, but sadly it's not even close to that.

Wow, I really thought that you were doing much better. I mean, you do deserve much more support for your game. Especially since you are a very friendly developer and share your plans and art while it is still in development. Not many developers do that

Big thanks for still communicating and delivering to all of us. I edged while playing this game for 5 hours and i will do it again.

ignore all these ........ there are developers who really suck. but there are developers who really do something. you are the small group of developers who do, not just take money. so read only reasonable objections or well wishes.

May I request that any minigames are not stupidly difficult or have countdowns please.

The cleaning minigame is an example of that. You can barely see the dirt AND it has a countdown. Please fix that one. Minigames are supposed to be fun, not frustrating. Some of us don't focus well and minigames like that are bad.

Also, it takes a while to get myself in the right mood and one frustrating minigame to turn me to ice, please help.

The bar game is perfect, it doesn't rush me and plays into one of my fantasies.

Not like the game has a skill system which makes the cleaning minigame braindead easy...........
