I guess not everyone can afford, in the eight months you've been making this game, to pay a total of €330 gold, €776 platinum and €1,548 diamond for a porn game in development.
For some people it's almost nothing and for other people it's more than everything. I make games for everyone - people are free to support me at any level and even get it for free. I have written that before - I think it's a fair deal ... and just for your info - this game would not exist if I didn't had my Gold members.
Have a great day out there.

Quite sure that no one have asked you to do it ... and I doubt that either Elon, Bill or Jeff are among my gold members :)
In fact, yes. You're saying right here that if you didn't have gold members you couldn't afford to create this.

I wonder then why there are other projects that are so successful in subscriptions. For example, let's take a look at the creator of WickedWhims, the porn mod for the Sims 4. It has 14,602 subscribed members, and their most expensive subscription is optional and is not required for get their previews on day one. Make your conclusions.

Unfortunately, you can't do this now, because he has accustomed his followers to make exorbitant payments to get his day one previews. Changing this now would probably drop your income and you would probably not get it back anytime soon.

So don't be sorry those who leak your game, be sorry your business model.

Have a nice day and, of course, I wish you the best of luck in your projects.

Patreon is not steam. You're not buying the game or the update, you'll get it fir free either via a leak or when it goes public. That's not always the case btw, Resident Evil modders love to paywall their stuff. Gold members aren't buyers, they are funders. What they pay for is not early access but devs ability to (I presume) work full time. Man's gotta eat and without them it's back to boring 9-5.

As 'Wentyliasz' said '' You're not buying the game or the update ''. It's just that simple, the people above silver tier or higher tier's are not trying to buy the game or buy the update of that month, they are just funding this guy's ideas and projects. Oh, and why aren't you guys looking at the bright side of things? Yes, as Non funders, we're gaining access to the game 20-25 days later BUT we're playing a more complete and bug-free version. And let's talk about compairing this game with a mod for a game series that came out 24 years ago and NOW which is a AAA game that sold millions of copies... Well of course people are gonna fund the hell out of that shit. And Celaviegroup, I love your work, I know you want to defend the work and effort you've put in but i think you shouldn't bother trying to do this on here, This is a basically a pirate site for porn contents and you know it :)

p.s English is bad sorry for my.

How about let's NOT compare any AAA game with this????
In your vision what makes you think there is a common item between a succession of images (linked by some lines of text) and any proper game?!?

Regretfully I fail to see any connection between his statements and an AAA game... He refers to a mod of an AAA game not to the game itself. But again that mod that I personally never tried, I'm assuming it has 3d modeling/animation and probably more... far more complex than Celaviegroup's work... Of course I may be wrong here since I'm talking about a thing I never tested myself...

It's quite simple! If it's worth it and you can afford it, you can support it with your chosen amount! By the way, all supporters pay for the fact that those who can't afford to support can enjoy it for free... Without spending a penny on it. So I don't understand the discussion of those who want to play it freely... Hey guys... You can, just a little later, but it's free! End of story!!!

I know I know - but I'm just the person who is defending my work and that's the way I am. It's not more complex than that.

No wonder I wasn't getting anywhere

This bug has been reported long time ago. PLease add this file to the folder named 'game'. That will fix the problem
