The issue with pocket watching Devs is that many do not consider that if the Dev has been putting in the work he felt warranted $4,000 from the start, and that's with him working at max efficiency there's not a lot he can do to improve. The speed in which an update comes out doesn't increase as the dollar amount increases. So working 40-60 hours a week and getting $100, won't really change your output once you start making $4,000 as you were already doing your best from the start. The only slight changes would only come from hardware upgrades and once that takes place any possible increases in efficiency will stagnate unless there's some software updates that can assist like a new version of SD or something that can drastically cut image gen times. So if they are already working with high-end hardware/software , how does more money increase production?
That's a fair point if that's indeed what's going on. You have a more optimistic guess of their time spent though than I do. Shrug, maybe you're right, no way to know.

There's still validity to what you speak in certain cases though. For example, if this Dev says he's only doing this part time, but then after he makes a certain amount he states that he's now making enough to warrant quitting his job to work on this game full-time. Then once the change happens, the updates come out at the same pace, with the same amount of content or even slower, with less. I can definitely see subs being concerned about their financial support being taken advantage of in that case, and it's happened a number of times already.

arguing about subscription fee/money in a pirate website is extremley ironic....

i dont think it is necessary to argue a lot about this kind of thing if the Dev hasnt release a new chapter in 1 month or there is a slight change of the update cycle.

if you dont statisfied with how the Dev do their job or felt being lied to, just cancel your subs and only sub if there is a release for newer chapter or just wait for public release.... easy

if you think it is normal and want to subs or support the Dev, go ahead.

talk about patreon being leech or not, every subscription based early access AVN/VN is literally has some kind "leeching its patreon" kind of nature even the most popular one like eternum.

you dont like it? wait for the game to be finished in maybe... 3,4 or 6 years later... that is the reality of every subscription based early access AVN/VN

the dev posted new things
They announced that they were currently in the last stretch of the development cycle.
As far as we know from their Discord server, they are currently working on the last couple scenes they have planned for this Chapter (the latest teasers are from the second to last one).
Once they are done, they will go through proofreading and more importantly making sure they did not break anything with all they plan to add with the new version (several features and quality improvement, script reviews and the added content).
