HG could have had 500-1,000 patreons long time ago. The reasons for hardly having 150 that are rapidly decreasing are the following:
Note: And I am saying all this to HG to take some action before it is game over for him.
A/ he has been in this kind of thing for more than 5-6 yrs already - if he is still not able able to deliver and do that on time always - he should seriously ask himself if he should contniue.
B/ His first promising game - Follower already showed signs of picking bad habits from others. It was all around the brother's wife Irene and while it was a good built-up, the last min 50-30 % of the game should have been hot steamy sex affair content with Irene in multiple scenarios - cheating, seduction, blackmail, corruption, romance... with our hero fucking Meadow or without et.c.
-Right at the very end after very long time of development things with Irene ended before they even started while fugly characters like Guenda that nobody cared about got lots of sex and several storylines. The donkey and the carrot style.
C/ NCC started well and showed the promise of something big adding HG's promise to fix that flop with Irene in Follower . That never happened. fugly characters like Guenda, The Shop assistant, the blonde stripper ... got sexed already while 0 or almost 0 of the main characters got any content or development whatsoever. So HG can produce lots of content with martina, luana... but is unable to do any scenes with the main characters, sounds legit right? NCC is showing the same trend just like Follower. What is expected and should happen never does, while development keeps delayed and prolonged ad infinitum and ad nauseum plus regular diluting and stuffing and so on and so on.
D/ Even as it is now it could have been fine as long as it had happened for both games - NCC and Follower long time ago. That is just not the case.
E/ NCC has the potential of a huge game ( more than 50 girls/ladies already) with tonnes of sex content for everyone of them to last 1-2 yrs or even slightly longer but only if HG works hard and produces one proper update at least every 20 days, starting 20 days from today.
Only for the sake of argument - HG can do whatever of course:
-Even Randy could have already fucked half of the male characters - yoshi, tatyana's hubby... long list with or without maud helping our hero to get their wives/girls come begging for his cock, while giving the opportunity to skip the sex scenes for us straight males but use those scenarios if we want to.
- Maud could have been fucked already in a nr of routes.
- Irene, rebecca, tatyana.... all those characters should have already received development. Playboy/Macho / drugs/Booze/ Romance routes and many more options.
We are so many (ingame) days and balls deep into the game and nothing ever happens. Donkey and Carrot Style.
As I said - 1 solid update every 20 days always on time - 5-6 ladies to receive proper plot and sex development and the ones that already started - proper continuation and always a few small but nice unexpected surprises (the cherry on the cake).
I wish HG all the best and of course he can take my advice or keep doing the same old thing.
A) This is not a job. Patreon is not a job. This is my fun, I don't think I need to be accountable to you for what I do for fun. If you don't like it, you can easily take up something you do like. I don't need you to give me advice on what to do with my life.
B) Irene wasn't the only character in Follower, I'm glad you fell in love with her. But Kirsten and Rebecca were just as important in my opinion. §Guenda had a bj scene and a sx scene, not that much.
C) That was your plan regarding Irene, mine is different, the story I wrote for her satisfies me and is far from finished. If you think you have a good story about her you can write it, send it to me, I'll prepare all the renders for you ( for a fee) and make your game. This game is not about Irene, she is not the main character.
D) I didn't understand what you are talking about
E) If I were to do a one week release every twenty days the game would probably suck, 90% of the paths would lead nowhere. I could make a porn manager that way. Calculate that just to render a complete sex scene it takes about 24 hours. to write the code for the last sex scene it took me 5 hours. To write a part of a day with all possible variations takes hours. You have to check the variables, write the different dialogs. You have to post-produce the pictures. Making a game is much more complex than it seems. If you want to try I will follow your releases carefully.
all the things you wrote at the end (Randy, Maud, different scenarios for Irene, Rebecca, Tatianna) show that you don't have the faintest idea how to make a game. If I create 5 different vscenarios for each character and make everything happen, then those 5 scenarios mix with the 5 scenarios of another related character and potentially become 10 scenarios. The possibilities quickly become endless. This is why some storylines progress faster and others slower. So that they can get to the point where they meet at the right time so that they are more easily manageable. Perhaps you do not have the slightest idea of the amount of work and control of variables that is behind a game. Just setting up a swap between michelle and tatianna takes many hours to get everything just right. If you make every character fuck every other character in every way you start hundreds of scenarios and managing them is simply impossible. If not, I make a porn manager, each story to itself and make the characters do whatever you want.
Thank you for your attention.
