Whether you like philly's games or not doesn't matter. What i was comparing is the amount of work and patrons that go into these games. You look at lewdlab and think, hmmmm he could probably use all that money to speed this shit up and add some more team members perhaps, or render machines. but it doesn't seem like that's what he does, at least it doesn't show it with the updates.
And then you look at philly with 1000 supporters less (which is a lot less in money), and just look at the quality he can bring with that.
The difference is way too big not to give any notice. if we don't compare there is no competition, and then there is no reason for the devs to push even further, which is what we all want really, don't we (at least me)?
I mean, it's not your place or anyone else's to decide what he does with the funds generated for this game. If he doesn't want to add more help, or more render machines for the game then that's his choice. I don't know who all is working on the project or what kind of hardware he has, and nor do I care. His finances and what he does with the money he makes is none of my business. The only thing that is my business as a patron is that he is working on the game and delivering content.
There's really not that big of a difference between the quality between this and CoBD. If there is it's obviously not enough to matter to people because Lewdlab has way more patrons than Philly does. There's also a thing called talent, and maybe Philly is just more skilled in areas or has better help than Lewblab does. I really don't care if these people are trying to one-up each other or not. I play games that I enjoy, and whether one has better "production values" than another really has little affect on my enjoyment of the game. Story and Characters matter far more to me than the quality of an animated scene, or even if something is animated at all.
And I don't know if you know this. but when MP was about to release, Lewdlab said: "I'd say this first release is probably 40% of the work of the whole game ", yet now it only seems like it's 15-20% done after 9 updates...
Here is the original post:

This is really the thing that upsets me most, why would he say that shit in the first place and then come out with a game that barely contained anything.
I mean, sometimes things change. I don't think he mean't that 40% of the entire game would be done after one update. Did anyone really think that? I read that more as 40% of the foundation or ground work of the game is done, and not total content.
I still think Lewdlab is a good dev (for the incest community) in terms of renders. The story is okay, nothing special.
But he has disappointed so many times.
even Icstor (which is considered a lost cause at this point lol) has not disappointed me like lewd has.
Lewdlab has disappointed more than ICSTOR??? Lol, you be trolling now me thinks. I don't want to knock ICSTOR too much because his stuff is still extremely good for what I like, but he's the king of disappointment and semi-abandoned half ass finished projects.
I don't know about you, but I like to have some adult content in adult games, especially after 9 updates.
I'm all about character progression and story, but this is taking too long. imo he has had many opportunities to add some fap material without interrupting the story and character progression too much. I mean like come on what's the big difference between a bj and hj if said character already agreed to the latter...
There is adult content in this adult game, and a good amount of it. It's just not the type of adult content you want. He's said there will be no shortage of sex scenes when the story is ready for it. Best you can do if it doesn't suit you right now is just wait until it's finished or check back in six months. It's his story, and I'm sure he's aware of the criticisms. I'd bet the game will turn the corner he soon enough (next month or two), and we'll start seeing the content some of you are so anxiously waiting for.
Still plenty of fap material to be found on this site, right? So if Midnight Paradise ain't doing it for ya right now, why not fire up something else instead? Even though I don't really like the game, sometimes I'll fire up CoBD so Victoria can take me to the finish line. I mean, doesn't everyone have a bunch of games with saves at their favorite scenes?
Side rant: Might be an unpopular opinion, but some of his supporters are like simps.
I don't even know what this means. Just relax though, man.
