I have to say I actually do like the models, they are unique and the characters definitely have charm to them. I'll be pledging to this project.

Well, they're an amateur dev putting out a high quality product; solo, with completely custom models and backgrounds I've never seen in any other game, with decently complex posing/paperdolls, no clipping and highly precise placement and proper light sourcing, focus, and collision; great, concise writing with good implicit use of rhetorical devices without using bombastic language as a crutch in place of actual writing ability -- and no typos or grammatical errors, at least that I've noticed -- while maintaining a compelling, character driven narrative with impactful choices that also don't make you feel like you're "missing something" if you don't make the right choice, and not a single bug to speak of (trust me, I've checked).
It's cool if you're just mashing the CTRL button each update and missing all of that, but then don't make baseless speculations with zero supporting evidence aside from the (usual) long time period between very consistent studio quality updates.
I also find it odd how people who are making money hide behind the label of amateur. As far as I have ever been told once you make money from something you are considered a professional. If this developer was a true/pure amateur developer (aka not making money from it then I would agree) but that is not the case with this or anyone else collecting money. Once you add money to anything the issues get complicated as people are paying for products/services. You can't have it both ways.

You do know that Patreon is just supposed to be to support an artist in creating his content and not sell it, though I know some devs seem to think differently. The question between doing something professional and as a hobby is actually also a question every income tax system in the world struggles with and it becomes very very complicated quite quickly. Basically it comes down in the end to if the person in question can expect to make a reasonable profit after costs for his labor from those activities in the long run (which would also include normal living expenses and costs if no other job). Considering this dev has a full job as well next to the game and intends to keep that and cost of assets and such it is doubtful the game makes enough for him after expenses to call him a professional.

You are making accusations here, which some might even see as slanderous. Hopefully, you have actual proof of these allegations, something more than "Many people say".

There might be long-term, who knows. You don't have to romance the girls though, could just go for Brook and/or Coven
What an idiotic take, you and many of the people making such comments aren't likely on Patreon even supporting the game. If you are and it's an issue then cancel it and wait for another update but the game is being made by 1 dev who does this part-time.

Who? The girls or the side ladies? Side ladies...who knows yet...the girls for sure (as they are the focus, whether you romance them or not).

Well, the dev has always said that 3-4 updates in a year are likely what we are gonna get. So, I dunno why all the unnecessary noises. And I think people have unfounded expectations from the devs. I mean just because Stepehn King can write a book a year not every writer can

I like Brook...I have a save just for her...she's fun and seems sincere enough. The Coven,...those are some crazy odd chicks lmao...worth a seperate save just to see their content imo.

Getting a save with them would mean missing out on the action that got to the save. And I for one loved the action!

I love the art in this game because it is distinct and more real (to me). The daz3D stuff is tiring, very few people look that good in real life (and usually after a lot of work).
As for social interaction, I've been a Stay at Home Dad for six years and sadly the pandemic has increased my social interaction because my wife has had to work from home. LOL... Oh and being on here is more social than I've been in awhile.

This is true...and it some interesting stuff for sure (one of the coven has a great scene but better not to go all the way if you want to stay in their good books). Honestly though, takes like 5 mins skipping the text to make a new save...but if really want them I can try and upload my diff saves for you over the weekend.
