Not gonna lie, there are plenty of games where the focus is on the sex and they cut to it quick. Sometimes hilariously jumping to a conclusion for the sake of sex. Now that I'm older, context is a lot more important to me. I like the pot of porn at the end of the rainbow and as long as the carrot on the end of the stick is worth it and satisfying to achieve, I'm having a good time.
That being said, any writer for any genre or purpose can sometimes get stuck on 'context' and bog down the pacing/gameplay. Not saying this is necessarily a problem in this case, but it's something that every writer has to be careful of. Over-explaining, too much exposition, ham-fisted plot is all too easy rather than a 'less is more' approach and trusting the reader/player to metabolize the story themselves.
At the end of the day, if the development time-frame is less than optimal then continue to not support the patreon because you're on f95zone; you're not supporting it anyway. Why be angry if he's not using your dollar? And if he is, he's pretty clear on the home page about what's he's doing and updates as needed. I didn't say fast, I said as needed.
I feel sympathetic as a contractor in a creative space. When clients get flabbergasted when they ask for something the next day, and I have to correct them that I need three days. "What? All you have to do is draw a little picture." It's never that easy. Ever. Research, brainstorming, concepting, sketching, thumbnails, thumbnails, thumbnails, revision, new ideas, incorporate, what's working? What's not? Sample and draft, sample and draft, sample and draft. Making a game is tough; it's mentally exhausting and sometimes you do have to get away for a while to come back with fresh eyes. This game only survives if Redamz isn't sick and tired of looking at this game he's been working on for the past few years.
You don't try to guilt a lawyer or a doctor for having a vacation, so why don't artists get time for themselves. I don't know if there was actually a vacation on Redamz's part, I just don't see why that would be a big deal. Certainly abusing his patron's would be different, but patreon can be fickle as fuck and he's had a strong base for years now. Normally you can see the ripple's in the numbers. The game IS bigger than a year ago, and it doesn't feel like fluff or pointless.
Anyway, I'm all over the place so I'll stop typing now.
