Keep your spirits up. Most commentators have no idea what it's like to do something creative (like a visual novel) and read half-baked comments. Take it as a sign that people like this content, even if some can be less than constructive. I poked my head in to see if people were talking about updates or plot theories.

Whatever secrets the next chapter holds, I'm sure it's going to be worth the wait.

Lol. I'm still sort of gobsmacked, guy walking into my place going "you're a lazy cunt you know that? People should stop paying you." and I'm here like, dude, I could maybe start taking my dinner behind my computer screen, but any more time I'm supposed to spend at this is coming out of my sleep time, TF you talking about? Christ, people and their opinions.
Well, then for balance listen here, to the guy who wishes he had money to properly support your work. Just remember to be confident in your work, because from the design of the gameplay to the writing, you've done everything right. Looking for updates for your game and Power Vacuum is why I check the site every day twice.

Don't worry, I am searching since yesterday who has deleted 1000$ from my bank account...

Thanks to an hidden camera at my home, I have a suspect that went on my computer :

One of the reasons I love this game so much, is the little details in the images that if you are observant can make you think. Did Denise deliberately have the strap fall off her shoulder to titillate her father? Was it an innocent accident? Am I reading too much into it?

It's these sorts of things that elevates this game above the others.

Totally agree with you. Don't worry, you are not alone.
Cannot wait to follow the new chapter. And take the time to appreciate it.

Another thing that I appreciate, is the fact that we don't see the MC face. Plus, he doesn't have a unreal dick, but a dick that everybody could identify itself with. And it's make the game a lot more realistic and immersive.

I second that. Despite the fact that most ppl want the "i am hung like a horse cause its fantasy and in my fantasy i am hung like that" kind of approach according to many devs.
This approach works way better as it feels more realistic and believable. And at the end of the day it is what matters most in a story driven game.

Cause if you are hung like a horse or know someone who is you know its not as good as ppl think.

Exactly. It's full of tiny details and moments that further fleshes out the character that you don't really see in other games. I mean, yeah, you want your audience to bust one out, that's all well and good, but if you're a visual novel, why not make the most out of the medium and the story while you're at it?

Without trying to be smart here, I can't help but state (what I believe is obvious) the naysayers are either chomping at the bit for new content, and believe haranguing the dev will somehow increase his wish to achieve, OR are (much more likely) just jealous freeloading twats. Just a humble observation. Let Naughty do what Naughty does best .... create quality entertainment. Not rushed trash. Too many devs seem to believe adding 1 or 2 new images constitutes an update, that isn't the Naughty Road ethos, so if we have to wait ... so be it.

Interesting question. Considered, yeah, but as a goal, no.

Income is just one part of it, and sure, it'd need to be on level with my dayjob and cover a myriad of hidden costs that are taken care of when you have a job, which it isn't at this moment, by some margin, but there's more.

Being the primary breadwinner in my household also means job security is a big thing to consider. Who knows what this scene will look like one year from now, or five. It sure didn't look this way a year or three back.

Then, there's the social aspect. Having worked nearly exclusively from home over the past couple of months really cuts down on the social interactions over the day, even with frequent calls and online meetings with colleagues. That's something that would be reduced even further. I'm feel that as humans we need to sort of bounce of other people to keep sane ( ), and even though I don't always enjoy that and tend to gravitate towards living like a hermit and being quite content with that, I'm also sort of afraid that somewhere down that path there's an appearance in some real live show where people come by to clean out the rooms in your house filled with stacks of empty pizza boxes and chinese takeaway containers that reach to the ceiling.

So, there's more there than just pure "give me X and I'll do it." That may work fine for some developers who're at a different stage in their life, without a mortgage, possibly without steady income, and definitely without a significant other that raises some hard questions when you come up with a wild plan.
However, the extra income so far did allow me to cut back a little on my day job and spend that time on LomL, which is what I love doing best anyways, so that suits me fine.
Ow my gawd. I knew it. I fucking knew it! The maiden, the mother and the other one! Weatherwax would not approve.
