I`ve personally stopped supporting eva on Patreon since january. Do not see that her patreon count drops significantly for the past year. I genuinely do not understand what incentive Eva has to continue working hard. Seems like she will be supported no matter what.
I love this game and it hurts knowing that even if i throw at Eva all my money, it wont speed up process, not even for a day.

That's some weird reverse logic. The more people you have supporting you, the more responsibility you feel to make them happy. If the number drops considerably, then there's no point in working as hard as you were anymore, because your effort is not appreciated so why bother sacrificing sleep time or rush yourself for something very few people will appreciate or if it doesn't pay as much as you think your time is worth.

To be fair, this only applies if you're a responsible person. After so many irresponsible developers and abandoned projects, I don't blame people for being weary of projects with ever-increasing development time frames.

Yeah, the statement “I genuinely do not understand what incentive Eva has to continue working hard” is just weird, as if it’s impossible to imagine that people also work hard because they like what they do and generally feel a duty to do a good job.

One beautiful day, if I suddenly have an abundance of time I have no other way to use, I’m gonna trawl through hundreds and hundreds of pages of this thread, to curate the ultimate top list of the absolutely best DeAd PrOjEcT / tHe DeV iS a MiLkEr posts ever written. Thé level of that list will be so high

pretty sure no one would work 10 to earn 100 while he could work 10 to earn 1000
the dev of this game simple got that his patreons allow for longer time between updates and this is the result: one update a year

True, but if the dev is irresponsible, why making less money should make them work harder if they don't like working hard at all? They just won't if it's not something they're passionate about anymore. The more likely scenario is that the game gets abandoned and they start fresh, trying to get new patrons to support the new game that is fun for them to make.

Is it possible that Eva got used to a laid-back no-rush development? Sure, but it's likely that it comes from anxiety that the project of such magnitude brings. You tell yourself that small progress is better than none because when you panic in a rush mode, your brain stops working and you hit a full stop. If all these milking / lazy accusations end up being true, losing patrons will not make Eva suddenly go overdrive and return to the pace of Chapters 1 - 7 because it's simply not possible. At worst she'll have to cancel the project (can't afford colorist / coder etc) and try making another game that is much simpler which would allow her to release monthly updates once again. But then there's a risk of hitting mediocrity, where update speed becomes top priority instead of quality or interesting ideas, resulting in Eva's games becoming stale copies of each other. Is that something that "game dead" commenters want to happen?

yes i would rather have a new game with monthly updates than wait a year for each update for the sake of quality, sure there is a risk of mediocrity like you said but there's also a risk of losing support because people are getting fed up with waiting too long, even if her patreons are extremely patient everyone has a limit and it will become intolerable at some point in the future
take GGGB for example, it was a mediocre game compared to ORS but everyone was happy with it.
Eva is a perfectionist, while that is a good trait it will also be her downfall, not everything needs to be perfect, she has to realise that for the sake of her own sanity.

And people wonder how companies such as EA manages to make hits after hits and bank millions of dollars.

Take your "Crappy Generic Game k2022", I'll keep games such as ORS, even with slower updates rates. Thank you very much.

let's not forget that this is just a porn game not an AAA game, there's no need for it to be so complex or try to be perfect in every aspect. GGGB is mediocre by ORS standards but does that make it a bad game ? no. It is a simple fun corruption game, has a ton of fetishes and it pleased everyone. It is a great game, i'm still discovering new scenes in it till this day it's mind blowing.
