Alright man I just recommend that he do a scene or two every one or two months not a whole chapter, or continuing its story via a text document not fully detailed cutscenes. I get the test drive analogy but, it's like a slap to the face for those of us who waited two years and sort of paid one way (money) or another (community discussions). That's right we waited and waited for certain characters to have a chance at a happy ending and were sad when we didn't get it (is that bad thing?). Also regarding the whole abandonment thing we are getting an update to NMGD after three or so years in the form of a manga soooo... which delayed the Neon Touch by a month..... Not trying to fan the flames or anything; I am just saying that stuff happens and who knows Milky Touch might get a re-work after three or so years so long as Neon Touch doesn't get delayed again...Why would Kuma spend time and $ continuing the development of MT when he said he had to end it because of a lack of $ support?
How many times did you DM Kuma offering $ support if he would continue MT?
What have you done since MT ended to try to get better endings (at least the endings you feel you want/deserve)?
Are you actually recommending that he reuse his art with different text since each frame is created/modified by his artist ... that he has to pay... after telling his Patreons that he has to end MT early due to a lack of funding?
I understand that there are those who can not afford to support via Patreon for example, but so many come to F95 and act like the creators owe them because they want something for free. Taking it for free pays for Nothing!
I don't see a problem with trying something for free, like going to a car dealership and test driving a car. No one lets you just take the car and never return it. Digital works have no such protection but please stop pretending that taking digital works for free (like MT and playing it through the end) actually pays the creator for their efforts.
Now - to your comment 'we don't even know where the funding goes' Name a single AVN creator who shows you their full income from their AVN and every expense they pay in support of that AVN ....
Waiting...
Yup - that is what I thought -- Either we trust that a creator uses our support well or we don't.
In the end, Milky Touch ended too soon.
Thankfully, Kuma did not just abandon this AVN. He actually tried to give us endings to many of the paths that we got to enjoy throughout the story.
No one got all the endings they wanted due to the way MT ended but this was far better than just abandoning the VN the way many creators do when a lack of funding or circumstance forces something good to end too soon.
This didn't really counter any of your arguments because there wasn't much to counter. You were either defending the creator which is understandable if you are higher tier patreon or were just stating the obvious regarding digital rights.
