Oh, I got the feeling Slonique is riding the abandon train like no tomorrow, but in this case, I can't help think he got the last laugh. And with all been said about him in this thread and others, I guess it work both ways.

I've seen a bunch of people applauding Slonique for being punk or getting in a heckin' good troll on the haters. The essential issue with being punk or giving your critics a "take that" jab is that, for the tactic to work, you have to have done something worthy of respect or recognition. You have to have raised yourself up and created something worthwhile so that consumers of your content know you're capable of doing good things, and have therefore made a statement by making a product that's intentionally low-quality or unrepresentative of your usual work. The Clash and the Ramones were made up of excellent musicians who showed off their technical prowess even as they made discordant, emotionally-charged music that deliberately flouted the tenets of rock at the time, and that's why we remember them.
When a creator who's known for abandoning projects and reusing models throws up his hands and shits out an ending like this one, it isn't some great artiste giving us visionless critics a well-deserved tweaking. It's someone delivering a low-effort troll toward the only people with any interest in giving him money.
e: It occurs to me that I have no clue what gender Slonique is, and I only used "he" in this post because it was used several times in the thread already. But -ique is usually a feminine suffix, so if I was wrong about the dev's gender then I apologize on that point. The rest of the comment stands.

Well, did you give him any money then? He kinda well known for abandon whatever around these parts so I'm not so sure there is that many patreons of his here? idk...
Also, just because the ending of the game, is not the ending people wanted, its the ending the creator made. Should we start rage and go emo whenever a game get completed and we don't like the ending? I could kinda get it if we start talk about "Mass Effect 3 ending", but this?

Slonique completing a game ... again. Nothing to be excited nor disappointed.If the Dark Cookie & Icstor are like Iron Man & Captain America, then Slonique would be like Songbird.
I could not understand the idea of Dev in this update ... even doing the 2 stars, it appears with a dildo and the message is that you got the maximum points ... forgive me but, what the fuck?

all the people making fun of the dev saying he sucks he never finishes a game and Bam when he finishes the game people lose their minds..... this is what NTR really is...(the shame and pissed off feeling you get at the end of the game) and the best part is he got the last Laugh on the haters because he finished the game the way HE WANTED

My post was more directed toward the people giving Slonique props. I'm not a fan of trolling in general and you might be able to tell I've got some passion when it comes to the punk genre.
To respond to you directly--nah, I've only contributed to like five patreon campaigns in my life and Slonique's isn't one of them. But this place is one of the larger porn game communities I've come across so I figure a lot of lewd game authors are picking up patrons from here. As for the rest, well, it's kind of late for me to be getting into philosophy of critique but imo before any artist can claim any kind of protection from criticism wrt their style/tone/vision, they need to actually demonstrate a consistent style/tone/vision. I'm not the only one in this thread who's noticed the style, characterization, and game mechanics are all over the place in OML. That's ignoring the fact that the game's existence was kind of a nose-thumbing operation in the first place, with the winky description that hints at "Oh, you didn't like my other game? Here's the same game but with a sweeter more family-friendly protag". Absent any other evidence, I have to assume this whole endeavor has been an exercise in Slonique rubbing their hands together and going "Ooh, I'll show those ungrateful f95 posters!" which is never a good look*.
*unless you're a mad scientist in a cartoon then it's a pretty sweet look

Oh you're so innocent. Well, that guy can't be Gundrop, Vilelab, Palmer, Slonic and don't know how many more at the same time.

You're right and I'm totally agree
It's really hard not to criticize Slonique. Defects are visible to all (inconsistency and lack of humility).
BUT, still, this game remains a "strong gesture", which is something that is not often seen.
Instead we see developers change their games because people complain.
(I'm sorry I can't write and argue better, but I'm not a native speaker and it is very difficult for me to explain myself well)

Damn, that ending, I'd be really mad if I was one of his patrons.
