I think giving an estimate (no matter how far-fetched it is) is always a good thing, but at the same time an extension/delay needs to be properly communicated (timely as well). The dev of NMM properly communicated the delay, explained what caused it and did not give any new dates (smart). A+ behavior there...
I was talking about my experience as de developer, the team leader or so should multiple the developers estimated time by 2 or 3. To get an accurate number. There are always unforeseen delays or problems in a project.

Well I've successfully given release dates for almost two seasons and the releases were monthly, I thought I still had it, but the episodes got bigger and bigger and it's very hard for me to estimate. For what is worth I never given a date and was late two or three months, usually I'm off with one or two weeks.
That probably came across as a dig at you, but I assure you it wasn't, I was just joking.
Nothing always goes to plan dude, no big deal, it happens :)

True, but sh*t always happens, and even the best intentions and most educated estimates can be overshot. What is important then are manners. And royalcandy treats us well, despite the reputation this site has for piracy...

I didn't thought of it like that, I just saw it and decided to explain better why I was giving a date of release. One of the reasons was that I knew I was able to keep some sort of schedule before and also knowing I gave a deadline, it helps me be more serious about the work.

You are still among the very best in my humble opinion. Keep up the good work - we all appreciate it.

I'm expecting something sensual. I wouldn't want her(Triss or Charlotte) to just jerk him off from a distance. I would like to see how they hug, how he touches her while she is "busy", so that all this is also animated.

I hope it doesn't go the bullshit handjob-blowjob-fuck route (possibly titjob in there too.) Why are so many devs so obsessed with handjobs? That does nothing.

It's a porn game trope, man, it's called "stairway to heaven."

Yeah, understandable, but bigger updates means more time to release them, just don't overwork yourself and burn yourself out :)

I am very grateful for being consistent in having passion. You are one of the best developers in porn games, you don't just chase your fans' money like other developers. You work very punctually, I hope "No More Money" can be enjoyed by more people, because the storyline of this game is very, very epic.

My one request, I hope you always concentrate on the story of MC and Charlotte, because I really like the Real Mother and Real Son incest story that you tell :love:(y)

If I was a betting man, I would say he would take a month or two to see if the these pledges are consistent. He is quitting his job for this after-all. Wouldn't hold it against him if he played this smart.

Either way congrats royalcandy on a completed goal. Best of luck on your new goal and future release.

One of the best developers in this sphere, a lot of skilled developers(great pictures, animations, story telling etc) on this site who are bad businessman(I am talking about communication or lack of it , managing platforms, planning etc) but royalcandy got best of both worlds. I wish him good luck further and to reach even bigger heights!

Yes you are right. The thing is that this is not the first time I reached the goal, but we'll see what happens after the 1st of February, because usually I'm going down more than 1.000$ when a new month start and as optimistic as I am, I can't risk loosing a well paid job, especially since half of the patreon income goes back in development.
If not in assets then in computer parts. When I have started royalcandy I had a gaming laptop, then I bought a new machine, then I bought new parts, new GPUs for that machine, last year I bought a new machine with 2 x 3090 and now the plan is to buy an even better machine with 4x4090 or whatever will be released by then, because this way, I'll be able to do more renders and better animations and so on. When I started one render took 2 hours and it was not even completed, but it was good enough, now the same render takes maybe 10-30 minutes, based on different things.
Anyway we'll see soon enough how things go, but after the release on Steam, the number of patrons has increased significant, so probably if things go well, in March I'll ask for my resignation.
