I just want to inform you that summetime saga has pregnancy already(last build), but only for aunt diane. So there is a 50% chance that summertime saga dev may have add more pregnable charactersI mean it was a stretch and admittedly unlikely but I'm cynical so I tend to suspect "dodgy" back room dealings first.
I fully understand the Patreon model but I've only just found this game and will wait and see production time-frames and quality before pledging anything and even then I'll go for the "cup of coffee" method rather then the monthly pledge as I tend to binge for a bit then wait a few month before playing again, plus I've been burned by pledging monthly before.
You do list your "income" so you rate higher in term of trustworthiness then the dev of Strive for Power and the quality of what currently exists in game is defiantly high enough to justify it but I've pledged before only to have the development stop shortly after because "reasons" (breeding season) so I'm weary of pledging to Patreon creators now days.
Its not wanting the update badly as I've been playing the free build a, I'm just cynical and expect there to be "backroom BS" so when I saw a 18-12-1 version that was broken but none of the updates since my mind immediately asks why and when I saw the games Dev was so active I think secret backroom deals not because its the most logical reason but because that's how my mind works .
I find it amusing that some people seem to think I just can't wait and need it now, I haven't played Summertime saga since version 0.14 because I'm waiting for the pregnancy and dating stuff to get done so that there is more to sink my teeth into then a short one character update, as it stands I haven't played this game before so I'm binging for a bit but I'll drop it for a couple of months once I've finished the current content and come back once there is enough new stuff to justify another binge.
Only two game are currently on my "Must have it now" list, Studio Why's Pony Waifu and Mean Draco's Teraurge.
