Yeah, absolutely, and "everything" isn't much to begin with. It's mediocre art, -5/10 writing & most of the Devs time goes into trying to hide the fact this isn't a game, much less something worth paying for.

First of, congratz to finishing a game TitDang and flamie.
Saw the update to this game by chance and noticed the low reviews which lead me to read some pages of the threads of this game and Luna in the Tavern and I gotta say....this was an entertaining hour spent during my lunch. Not gonna lie.
The thing is I actually like the artstyle from both games and I am sure, without trolling, that they are a good game and VN respectively as well but the paywall drama just overshadows the whole experience.
No one is discussing the game in itself only the monetization and I don't think you actually want that.
I don't shy away from buying a game once it is finished I saw here on F95 but... correct me if I am wrong, I need to stay subscripted to the patreon just to continue playing the finished game?
I can't just pay once on Itch.io for example and enjoy the game offline? Am I just misinformed or is it actually the case?
If so then yeah....the hate is well deserved sry.

The scenes behind a paywall should become free upon """""completion of the game's development"""""
which translated means "we'll milk every last one of you dry until we deem the game completed™ "

>Here's a reminder for how our Super Early Access will work. It applies to some of the scenes or their alternative versions, and all players will get access to the 1.0 content after a month, as usual. Then, we will unlock full access to two questions every month.
So it's not free upon completion and you plan to milk it still, this is a good way to let people know this applies to the other game as well and all complaints are valid.

People tend to forget that a bit of integrity goes a long way in all business endeavours.
to be fair, when i played this, which has basically 5 scenes, 3 of which just have variants, none of them were actually 'locked' away.
still seems very much a thing for the other one that i guess isn't dead, but also has far more content, hell, it's got more locked content than this one does, so the 'we released everything now that it's completed' doesn't hold a whole lot of weight...
not entirely sure that's 'integrity', really. i do agree that's the best way to make money with these kinds of products, sure, but, not like most people are happy with the 'we'll charge people monthly on patreon for like, a new scene a month' style of doing things, where the game never gets close to really being finished anyway.
Brother you are welcome to spend months programming and hundreds on commissions and make your game as free as you want

15 dollars a month to keep a few scenes is reasonable for you? Other creators asked cheaper and given us more than this, one that I have supported.Brother you are welcome to spend months programming and hundreds on commissions and make your game as free as you want
With 15 dollars a month... might as well subscribe to Netflix.
