Well damn, some people are just INSANE. A person increased their pledge to 1.5k. Might as well make the game just for them lol

That was me and my wife said "no"..so I apologized to Studio Kuma. I will be repledging soon for a way lesser amount. I kind of went overboard. That being said, I really enjoy the game.

But why tho? What compelled you to do it? And are you still sleeping on the couch?
I'm actually quite a high gifter to many other social media platforms like Twitch. This adult gaming community was new to me..still is. I didn't learn about Patreon until last year and slowly started to pledge $5 here and there. It was last month when I tried to create a game of my own that I realized how difficult it was to even start. So I changed my mindset and wanted to pledge to developers I thought seem nice and also their games I enjoyed immensely.
No longer just about the value of the game itself (because really a game is only worth like $60 ..games like Grand Turismo or Cyberpunk), but the support to help these developers achieve something that I cant do. So hence I went on this journey, and found StudioKuma. But now I don't know anymore. I tend to be a bit wishy washy. Its not about the amount I spend, since I do spend a lot. I tend to think about every choice I make when it comes to money. So even in the same day I can go from $5 pledges to $1500 pledges, but I can also just go from $1500 to $0. But even if I do that with my pledges, I still pay it, so the developers don't lose out. They still get the money.
So maybe at one point I even felt I was being milked..because people would say to me "hobby2121, you are definitely being milked". I would justify and give excuses..but my wife was the one who told me I should really figure out if this is what I want. So I took a step back after the $1500/mth pledge..and now I don't know. My original budget was only suppose to be $500/mth. Of course as I learn more and more about which developers really appreciate every supporter and which are just talk and want your money, I will hopefully become more knowledgeable.
For now I actually did repledge yesterday, but I still couldn't get any access to any of his patron post, so I unpledged again..I don't know..maybe Patreon just hates me on his page only. All the other developers I pledged to I can see their patron post even after I canceled my pledges with them. The month isn't over yet. I was already charged and paid it all.
By the way, I already sent the f95 moderator that I want to donate to f95 too. Because I really appreciate f95's community in introducing all these games to me. So as soon as that opportunity arises, I will pledge.

Considering that in some places, even for example where I am (UK), that's an entire weeks wages on a minimum, YEAH IT'S ALOT. There are reasons why Patreon tiers, by many many devs, start out in like $5a month and go up to usually $50's. Most devs acknowledge that anything beyond that is them asking a lot of you. However, they are working on the principle that you'd stay on for the long run

I'm a bit envious. I'd love to have enough freedom and resources to be able to support artists and developers.
Man, tagging this game as "Animated" is such a stretch, I've found only 2 animated scenes out of so much content. There needs to be stricter rules for giving out the "Animated" tag

It is not the "tagging" that is a problem, but stupid people who cannot count. There are like 8 animated scenes in the game.

On top of that, the quality of the animations is incredible. Even if what Dondolo said were true, I'd happily take just 2 animated scenes in the entire game for how good they are. If you like to see hand-drawn art at its hottest, this would definitely be a game to play.
How did you learn of it ?
I seem to recall when Studio Kuma was in danger of closing and failing to reach sustainable goal last year, someone also pledged a large amount for which dev created a single tier which saved the game. Can't seem to recall exact details, if you do please share those as well.
