one thing i don't get, and i have followed him for several years, is why he doesn't hire a part time coder to let him do the renders and story and work as screen play writer which obviously is his vocation?
a couple of months would be hard than with faster release patreons would quickly rise !!! and the budget would balance
i'm willing to bet he could recruit coders even among fans

I am sure if someone offered their services even from this forum where there are many really good coders he would consider it but people need a lot of trust to share their projects and Language can be a barrier though in the time we live in discord would help imensely

I got 2 words for you: Reallife & Corona.
I know that , and dev was clear about it affecting its real life job , the game being more of a hobby than job, but i was asking if gave more info about 1.55 as a standalone patch or now incorporated in 1.6? Honey has a habit of poor communication , which lets be fair takes 5 min at most to post a feedback.

I have posted several times on my patreon.
I put the private posts simply because every time Patreon creates problems for the images I upload (even if the characters are dressed).
The 1.55 release is only for Sunday of week 15. but it's a busy day, culminating with the Party.
The party is an event that has a code of 20/30 thousand lines.
To give you an example: a "typical" day of week 15 has a code of about 2 thousand lines (plus external events, for example when you go out with a girl or you call her at home).
So it is only one day but many things happen and there are various sex scenes.
That's why it's taking me a long time, to do the math, for number of lines of code it's as long as a normal release, maybe longer.
co0me as usual I can only tell you to be patient and I hope that when you play the finished game you will understand the efforts I'm making (I think anyone who knows a little bit of programming and has seen the amount of stories that are included in this game knows very well how complex it can be to manage everything).

About real life and corona.
Things are not so bad, of course, the fact that there is a curfew and that I can not go out at night, go to a concert, go to a restaurant (now I can, since about ten days) is making me a little "sad" and I get distracted very easily. But lately I've been working at a much higher pace than I used to.

I'm hoping that in time my patreons can come back to support the game, but it's not something I'm overly concerned about. I'll keep making games anyway (and for sure the next ones will have a little shorter and less complex stories, so I can finish them faster).

I can attest to the code thing as I use the source code as a sort of walkthrough while playing. I always keep the current day open and switch to necessary files for example for sex scenes. Allows me to see which answers give points and which variables unlock certain conversations or paths.
Well I can skip over 1/3 of the code as that is porn manager stuff which I‘m not interested in :LOL:

I don't think anyone misunderstands the complexities of the coding side of the game and I certainly don't see anyone doubt your abilities on that end of things. The only thing people are aggrieved at are the bullshit timelines you give for landing parts of the game/updates (sorry, I have to call it like it is and be frank, even though I'm not Frank).

If I were your PR guy (and I'm not and I know that) I would have advised you to release the last update as you did, mention that it is a partial update with Sunday missing but that Sunday, in itself, would be THE NEXT FULL UPDATE and it would take some time to complete. Honestly that is all people want to hear, if you say I can crank it out in a week or so and 6 weeks later shit has happened, the game doesn't suffer but your reputation does and that is a damn shame.

And just to emphasize peoples frustrations, the first thing I do when I come to the zone is search NCC to see if it has been updated.......you say it is ready in a week and I'm searching every day for 2 months, I hope you understand a little better how other people see things with your game.

In very short, great game, good dev, just don't give specific fucking update times ;)

I'd consider it, but I see you didn't release the last version for $5 tier. I'm sorry, but more than that I only support creators like DPC.

the curfew is worldwide important - corona jumps you at night from wee bombers ;)
you should also go to bed in a non aired room that doesn't see sunlight it helps protect you from the wee terorists
i was going for irish leprechaun :)

I have tried getting him to be more like PC, who gives weekly updates and images, as well as the occasional special render series, it keeps patreons invested whilst there is a 3 to 4 month window between updates
