The mod makes sure you see all of the lewd scenes, even ones you don't qualify for, if you actually want to make decisions then don't use it.
Yep, you don't miss any scene, up to produce some very weird behavior - in particular in school, where you'll see the same scene with only variants several times in a row. I was even thinking that I triggered an infinite loop bug...
For this kind of story/game, I don't mind to "avoid" minor decisions, and if I remember well, some decisions are a bit tricky - for what
I want in the game, a simple "Harem route" indication on "good" choices could be way enough, but since there is also pregnancy and some interesting variations, it's probably not so simple...
It could be resolved with alternative scenes versions, however, since this mechanism is already present in the gallery. So the walkthrough won't be so necessary, it would simply be a "route" indicator and nothing else.
Better release plan would be public from day one.
Right, since it will be leaked otherwise, so it doesn't change a lot to delay the public release... But patrons should have something "more" anyway, and if it's not an early release, then it would probably be a voice in story's development and/or aesthetic aspects - and then it's an extremely dangerous minefield for dev and/or writer...
And if patrons don't have anything in exchange of their money, it's a bit unfair - patronage isn't supposed to have a counterpart, for sure, but let's be realistic, it's more sponsorship and therefore the sponsors should gain something, and "good reputation" is a bare minimum but often it's way more than just that.
So maybe not so simple... At least, as you said, few days between high tier and public is already a good thing, better than for a lot of other games.
