The little leaflet you have in the inventory said something about needs and activities and consequences of doing/not doing. So I interpret this correctly if MC goes on a chocolate bar binge and a couple of soda's she will get overweight, and if she ignores the hunger need she will get underweight. Is this going to be implemented and is it going to be a bar in a menu or is it going to be visible? The same thing goes for sports: Is she going to look fit or it's just a way to increase stamina?
I like the idea of having a wardrobe but why is that T-shirt taking too much space?!
When I run the game my computer sounds like a 747 taking off. No other game does that to my PC, you should look into optimising stuff a bit before you add too much stuff. Even if you lower your currently ridiculous patreon tiers you will still be making this game too expensive because it will run poorly (or not at all) on decent computers for people with decent budgets. My PC is pretty decent, so I don't think I am going to have problems running the game but I will not pay $100 for it even when finished. Can always go to other places like to get decent finished games for $20-30. yeah sure some of them are censored but everything else is top quality.
I don't mind a $10 or even $25 pledge on patreon if I feel it's worth it. So far this game sets high standards and great ambitions and I will follow closely. You will need to keep that up and seriously rethink your patreon tiers. I am sure there are plenty like me out there that don't mind donating a 10er or more to support you. Think of it like this: would you rather have 5 patrons at $100 or 100 people at $10? I am not saying to give up the high tiers but first and foremost DO NOT lock gameplay features behind paywalls, there are plenty of bonuses you can think of for the higher tiers (customised clothes, items, animations, voice-packs maybe, figurines, the sky is the limit). Why? Worst case scenario: you will either lose/stop gaining support or your games will be pirated, hacked and shared for free and you won't be able to fully focus on the game as the income goes down. Before long you won't be able to pay the team and people will have to go, development grinds to a half and support goes down even more eventually forcing you to abandon the project. Best case scenario: whales forget they are supporting you, and you will still have a decent income even months after you officially abandon the project.
I am looking forward to the next updates
