Author should wrap this up, this game wont be over until maybe 2035. Guess he just wants to milk that sweet Patreon money, he doesn't even write most of the scenes anyway lol.
Ah yes this typical case, at least author decides to let people mod the game with story and features added, unlike any other text based game devs. Still sad tho, to see game like this tend to be in eternal development mode. No wonder people mostly choose 3D western game with blocky face nowdays.
The developer is paying people for art. They do their own writing, pass it off to a team of editors, and then when everything is put together, they give it to a team of testers who stress test the game for bugs and such that might cause problems for the consumer. Now, I'm no defender of devs who clearly want to milk their audience and reject all forms of criticism (Zion of Olympus being the most prominent), but Threshold
does update their patrons frequently and
does warn us ahead of time of any potential delays or issues that prolong the process.
Like, I'm not even going to point out that game development on its own is not a short process. Even someone capable of rigging and animations on their own is going to take a few years to finish their project, and that's assuming it's a simple game with a bare-bones story and maybe a handful of h-scenes. There is a process and while I would like to jump on the wagon of blindly accusing devs of laziness or exploiting their patrons, such is not the case here. That said, I also get why someone might lob the accusation at Threshold given they did go through a period where they focused more on a side content waifu than furthering the main story. I got no excuse for that, nor do they. Heck, they even made a couple patron posts where they confessed that they got stupidly side-tracked and apologized for it.
So, yeah, Threshold does get side-tracked and/or life happens, but it's not as if they're delaying the process to milk their patrons for money.
