He went on a trip with friends for atleast a week. Devblog can be found if you go back like 2 pages. Not sure why you're so surprised by the DLC's as it was literally announced in the game at the end of Chapter 05 and mentioned like 100 times in this thread.

The first DLC took too long, can't argue here. 100 images in like 2 months was pretty slow, yes. 2nd DLC taking just over a month including vacation is totally fine unless it's 20 images - which by the way you should be looking at the amount of images not just "How long did Chapter X take compared to this". More images, more work. DLC or not.

2025 has not been the best yet, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. But maybe wait for Chapter 06 and see how things go after the DLC's before going up the walls. And keep in mind CG never made any promises or set up Patreon goals like a bunch of other devs who could actually be called out for "milking". CG is just doing his thing - no strings attached. You're not being promised the holy land after supporting him financially, not lured in to pay for monthly updates or anything. Totally up to you if you wanna support him or not. :)

Thank you, seems some people follow the thread to know what's going on instead to just jump onto the bandwagon and throwing a tantrum.

I agree with all of your statements, Chapter 06 will be the deciding factor on how well (or not) this game will progress.

"Totally up to you if you wanna support him or not." This is the case for every single dev that has milked too though. Not a good excuse to cover for that. Also, I don't take anything any dev says about their life serious as it could just be another excuse. Too much experience with that. Anyways, this dev can not be called for milking yet, it just has not been long enough. He has to do barely anything for another 6 months before earning the title of patreon milker.

And besides, he had to learn how to port the game to android and there's a learning curve to it.

by milking is probably like delay the real chapter only giving us. like tiny bit of stories cut content basic and drag its longer so people will have to kept paying until they able to finish or give us real chapter.

To be fair.

1. He was also learning to port the game to android(which adds time)
2. The update didn't take too long to come out given the learning curve to porting to android.
3. The update was sexual content quality focused, so we got great content for it's quantity.

You can call it a bad decision, but given how good the Dev's been to us consistently the benefit of the doubt is earned. Milking has malicious intent, the dev probably doesn't have malicious intent.

Maybe, but I dont like the trend that when each game gains momentum and popularity, suddenly progression slows down instead of speeds up, I cant be talking shit since I dont support him but what I see is aggravating to some extent, the development time for chap6 will be the deciding factor for sure, and I hope I am wrong but I dont have good feelings about it, we'll see for sure.

Fair statement. I've been here long enough to know that this happens alot unfortunately, but I personally like to differentiate depending on statements, promises, Patreon goals and more. I've been calling devs out for milking their audience on other games, terrorizing threads analyzing statements that turned out to be lies, unkept promises, never fulfilled Patreon goals and so on (which has gotten me in a whole lot of trouble over the years with forum Police :LOL:) . I'm just not seeing any of that here, so I'm staying positive. From everything I've seen here aswell as on Discord and other user experiences, CG seems to be a nice dude without any bad intentions. Dude even refunds supporters if they're not happy.

There's so much negativity in every game thread these days, the moment people don't get their updates in a- for them- timely manner, everyone starts jumping the hate train. All it takes is 1 delayed update, 1 slow devcycle, anything really that people can jump on. And INB4 someone goes: "but it's only gotten slower since Ch02" - Yes, but the amount of images per Chapter also skyrocketed, new features have been added, more and better writing, more complicated and time consuming workflows with AI (something people without a clue just don't see by the way) plus post-work. With all that in mind, I think the development time is fine. But don't get it mistaken; Doesn't mean I'll not call it out if an update with 100 images takes 5 months either. :p

Anyway.. Fingers crossed! :)
