Well according to F95 possibly Sam the instability was due to Cloudflare or to be precise Cloudflare's scattergun approach to Bot / DNS protection fortunately I have my own dedicated file servers, so I have not had to use this industry leader sad that they are industry leaders with such poor understanding of the industry they work in.

This is in my opinion one of the best games on this forum. Sadly, the dev does not seem to have the time to work on it due to the lack of supporters.
He has to make a Real World living as he is not a high earner like Dr Pinkcake etc. To be honest some of this is due to his very poor communication with his Patreon customers unlike the high earners he has a very good product but could benefit from a collaboration with someone else I guess he wants to control his own product, but he does not have the actual time to do this. Even in other businesses, we realize that if you do not deliver on time, you are bound to fail. Chasing your tail is a guarantee of failure.
Stating the obvious, if he had made enough money from Patreon at the beginning he would have quit his job and devoted all his time to the game thus would be in a better position to deliver to his customers thus increasing the support vicious circle.
Caveat though during the early Coronavirus he had this opportunity working from home, but he did not really produce the game on time even then.
Hate to say this as I personally was an early to late supporter of his even though I had major issues with his customer communication but unless he corroborates the game will either fail or release 2-3 times a year

UPDATES
Okay, I hope this is the last negative UPDATES.
Negative in the sense that I don't have good news yet
I've had several moments of discouragement over the past few weeks, the amount of "adjustment" work I've put in is really big and I'm almost going crazy trying to get it done.
However.
However, when I did a quick game today of the first 15 days (theoretically almost complete) I said "Wow, this is it".
I'll be working hard this weekend to advance the game as much as possible and give you as extensive a partial version as possible early next week.
I'm not going to list all the changes I made to the game because, honestly, are so many that I do not remember what I told you and what not... as usual if you have any questions, below, I'll be happy to answer.
I know, my "lack of communication" and my "Late" are unbearable... but I'll do my best.
Some people suggested me to find someone who can help me but it's not that easy. 1) this game earn so little money so I can't pay. 2) it's very difficult to explain to someone what he got to do. I mean, the game it's really complex and even if i had someone to help me i wouldn't know what to tell them to do... so you'll have to settle for this "one mand band". at least until the end of the game. In the future I will be able to organize the work better and not have to work on the initial mistakes trying to fix everything....
Thank you for your support and for all the love that I see for this game.

I don't know how it will go on now. Is the next update 1.6 or is it a remastered version from the first 15 days of the original game?

Wait, from some of those recent posts, is he doing another remaster/reboot? Isn't what we're on now a reboot from last year-ish?
From what I can understand its a remaster, so technically no content is being cut, just reworked.

I'm adding a lot of content.
In all storylines and adding events.
It's a lot of things.
I have reactivated my discord, and there is a guy who put it in order for me, there are news there and if you want some spoilers
as I said sometimes I don't have time to "grow a community", but I try to be always available to chat with fans of the game.
as you see I often write in this tread and also on discord I try to be present.
if you want some things you can easily ask for them.

If I can express criticism ...
I don't know how others think about it, but personally I would have preferred to end the game with the resources that were already available with update 1.55.
It is nice if you have more technical possibilities and options available, but what if you notice in 1-2 years that you can bring in high quality animated sex scenes? Would you like to start all over again? All of that could have been saved for Season 3.
I will of course also play the next update, but unlike the last few times I will wait for free versions and not pay for them.
But that's just my personal opinion. Please do not understand it as a hate because I am a big fan of this game and its characters.

I totally understand your point of view.
Behind the choice of remaster is not only the "graphics" issue (although it was important).
Those who have played this game know that there are "dead ends", stories not developed to the end. (martina path could give really some more, all the maud party can be more interesting and not only cuckold o try to dom... and all the girls can have more events and situations) while I was doing this game, with the pressure to release as soon as possible (and with little chance to make new renders) I often settled for what I had and did not develop some stories, which I can do now.
But that's not the only reason either. The reason is also the "big picture". I plan to keep making games for a long time. This is a game "born under a bad sign". I'm already developing all the possible "season 3's". I'm doing all the "pre" work so I don't find myself in the same situation. And to do the best "pre" work for the next games I'm fixing some season 2 issues and check if it works so I'll not make the same error in my future game.
First of all, thx for your answer. What can we expect now? Regular updates with 14 days in game time until we get back to update 1.55?
duuuuudeeeee what pressure ?
you are dissapering for weeks
dislike building a community
reboot for more content with less time to work on it
you are running the very real risk to be the first dev that gets abandoned by players before abandoning his work, i used to check every few days, than every week , now i'm getting closer to a month and i've been around since snake
and that's with a very good game going

updates can be as fast as they were when I did the first rebuild. Most things are ready. 70% of renders (postwork is missing but it's pretty fast).
The game is already structured, I'm fixing dialogs and tracking new and old variables. I just need to add the new events here and there. (some are little things, some other are really interesting)
After the first release, the next ones will come pretty fast. (and also the last episodes probably)
In first release you'll see a little part of the "news". Most new events happen when the game has started. (but even in the first 2 weeks you'll see some nice new things. New sex scenes, new photoshooting, new mechanics and obviously new renders)
