Hello everyone!
As mentioned above, we were not able to carry out the photo session planned for October due to the fact that we did not have enough money, the current level of support, alas, is not enough to carry out filming every month. Therefore, we decided to wait until the beginning of next month to replenish our budget. So the update will not be until the second half of November(( But it will definitely be!
I already wrote on our Patreon that a part of our team in November has the same holidays and a very convenient schedule in order to bring everyone together and we have the opportunity to conduct two photo sessions at once. But for this we need a bigger budget. So, if there are those who want to support us, now is the best moment!) With sufficient funding, we will hold two photo sessions in November and release two good updates before the new year. Otherwise, there will be only one update this year. Hope for your understanding) Thank you for your attention)

I would gladly support you guys (and girls) on patreon. Unfortunately, I'm not rolling on cash right now, therefore I can't really do this.
Sorry :cry:

I think that the best way to increase the patrons is doing cross-promotions in Patreon: talk to other devs with at least a similar quantity of patrons and promote their games in exchange of them promoting yours. Also, post your game in other popular sites like , I don't see your game there.

I leave you this message that wrote me the dev Enyo one time, after I asked him how he increased his patrons that much in few months, after years of little support:

"I started to promote my game as hard as I could, do cross promotions etc. While I was promoting like a machine in every hole possible I saw a stable inflow of supporters. Before the growth, I only posted my game on f95zone."

Is Elina a porn actress in real life? :unsure:
Or is she going to have her debut in your game? :oops:
Or is she your girlfriend in real life and she's doing this because of your fetish? :sneaky:

Chapter 4. The teases are quite hot but no "real porn" so far.
It will be legendary if this game has some real actions at some point...

The answers are most probably "no", "no", and "no". Well, the first is certainly "no", with the others we don't know for sure.

The tag "real porn" doesn't actually require porn to be present (stupidly named), it means "pictures of real people" as opposed to computer graphics.

I am pretty sure the is no hardcore, but the game deserves more support. 2 USD shouldn't be a problem for most of us.

the importance is not the hardcore but the enjoyment rate.
teasing and seduction is one of the most important aspect in an "adult" erotic game.
it would be a bit disappointment if there's no hardcore scene, but if the eroticism is good enough its will still be a good game and worth to support since right now its one of its kind. and who knows, this could start a trend of adult-game genre.

At least Elina's topless and lingerie shoots are hot.

Looks like another milking project... Shame... :rolleyes: :cautious:
I don't want to be disrespectful, but you should think before commenting anything. This VN requires hiring a photographer and actors, including cameras, lights and locations. If you ask me, with the current 100 patrons I would say that the dev is losing money. How is that milking? Be more respectful with the devs.

I don't know why you think that from what I wrote. The team delivered four updates without talking much about them in advance. They knew ahead of time that they'd not be able to film in October and told us, so it isn't like they're hiding the bed news. It's the good news that they're not so good at (just images).

It will be disappointing if they can't get an update out in December, because that will indicate that the financial situation is more dire than we thought. Anyone who spends the time and money VIGOR does to collect $400 a month isn't very good a "milking." If you want to see milking, look up "New Life." That pulls in something like $4000/month for a text-based game that published about 100 sentences of new material a month.

What can I say is that I was a Gold Patreon....I downgraded my level to Bronze due the lack of material and updates; my money, my rules.
Next step leave the project and return in one or two years.

I totally get it, but of all the games I've ever played this is the furthest from milking. They simply aren't profitable enough to be considered milking. This may be the most cash-intensive game I've played since it requires real people and real photographers. I think the mistake the devs made was simply being too ambitious considering their overhead. This should have been a miniseries, something short and punchy, and could be wrapped up quickly. In general I think more games need to aim for completion in 18 months, and a game like this probably more so.

But I can totally get why you'd drop your support. I don't think they're milking at all, but if you aren't getting the content you need that's just as valid a reason to drop your support.

I also stopped supporting the project. It is not about the speed of updates, but the lack of communication. When can we expect an update, what are the current challenges. There was no relevant news in November for 2 Dollar patreons.
I hope they will change the way they communicate as I really like the game.
And yes, 100 patreons is bot enough, but they are partly responsible for this.
