I want to like this game , I love its art style and the characters are fine .... HOLY FUCK this game miserably slow , 3500 -4,000 dollars a month is insane for what is currently available for the four years of develop , there are people who have made multiple games with twice the play time and double the content with a much smaller dev team , sometimes singular people . It just frustrates me and makes me think if the team in question was finally pressured financially if that would make them work faster or if it would kill the project stone dead ......

Hey Patreon is a buyer's market. If people are stupid enough to fund them that much with the progress they've made ... that's on the subscribers, there's nothing locking them in or deceiving about the situation. The devs have been lazy and promised too much but with this stupid business model, who can blame them? They're getting paid, for their demo. Still getting paid. They're having Friday nights out on the town every week and eating lobster every night because they made a demo four years ago and a road map that went nowhere.
Would be nice if there was accountability but that's not the platform. Stupid people wanna throw money to the void, that's on them.
true ... its just one of those projects where the art is good enough to warrant some understanding , like how blc or that one milf game by gaussianfracture , did but there comes a point where it just hurts to see a good art style game sit quarter made then get tagged abandon or sit perma " on hold " for for the rest of its existence , atleast people like siren do prove that you can complete multiple games on this website and make a decent living .

FOUR years??? I just saw that the last update was months ago, but didn't knew its been so long in development, and yesterday I finished all content (which is by no means worthy of 4+ years of dev). I'm just gonna drop this one... Just like many others... Like a lot of ppl say here, I'm really tired of devs presenting a really cool project, just to make 1/4 or less, and giving scraps of "updates" per year or abandoning them altogether, just to farm money out of patreon. Remember kids, don't pay for an unfinished H game!

Part of the reason why that happens a lot is developing games with fully custom art is a full time job and if a dev isn't making enough to survive off of patreon after a lot of investment they get tired because many of these people have secondary jobs that pay more. Basically it's rare that a dev actually makes enough to turn it into a full thing. This game wasn't making a whole lot until about a year ago and even then it isn't all that much when you consider that there is probably a few other people who are splitting the patreon amount. 4,000 a month split between three people is 1,333 a month which in most places in the USA is barely enough to scrape by, and in cities is nowhere near enough.

You are grossly overestimating what the average ero-game developer makes. A thousand a month is like 1-10% of all the games that get made here. Probably lower actually. Most people never make enough to just survive off of developing VNs.

Yea, the game was pretty, sucks people dont finish their projects, but I guess that's kinda normal.

Gosh darn it, you're right I can't find anything at all!
That's just awful, if only there was some magical way of typing out something you wanted to find on the whole site and getting it with just a few taps on your keyboard.
But that will never happen... wait a minute! I just got a wild idea! A real humdinger!

Give a man a save, stop silly questions for a day.
Teach a man to use search, stop silly questions for a lifetime.
If memory serves right tho, the last version fucked up the gallery so you´re still forced to replay the game from the beginning to get the gallery.
