Hell yeah: Frank's Adventure, Ganguro Girl 2, and a shit ton of trivia games where you got to see some titties if you got the answer right. That was my version of watching scrambled softcore on HBO. It sure was beautiful.

RIP, Flash.
I have a question. Do you have any literary influences on your work? I ask this because I think Pale Carnations is very well written.

What's with pre-school level of reading comprehension on this website?
Maybe the problem is not with multiple readers but with single point of failure, that being inadequate level of conveying your message across?

In any case, i can't help but notice you've dodged the question.

Is this a meta strategy btw? Having moralistic debates on a pirate site so long that someone gets tired of watching and pays and leaks just to shut everyone up? That would be pretty peak.
nah, doubtful. I think it has more to do with the fact that some people don't get that it's not a black or white issue. You can be a pirate and still want the devs to make money. I'm just as impatient as everyone else, but I want the dev to be able to keep making the game, so I wait, and encourage others to be patient. Just because we get something for free doesn't mean we have to advocate for completely screwing over the devs.

Mfw I see multiple new pages of content on the thread but instead of a leak it’s just arguments about Patreon and early access. View attachment 4388136
Its actually triggering me tbh. I thought I was nigh untriggerable but this annoying spam is frying me. Shit or get off the pot.

Describes me to a T right now. Im on the verge of narc'ing so mods do cleanup. The short essays are fucking ridiculous.

That's one of the reasons why I stopped supporting this game. I realized that I've supported enough, I realized that my support isn't being valued enough, and I realized that I better put it towards smaller devs who need it more.
That's just how it goes. That warm and fuzzy feeling I mentioned where you feel like an integral component of a project isn't as compelling the larger and larger a project gets. There's absolutely nothing wrong with spreading the love around, especially to up-and-coming creators.

That said, it's hard to add value to your tiers when you want to avoid perks that eat into development time or dictate story content. Instead, we've been fortunate enough to sustain ourselves with a "if you like us, support us" model with very few frills. Sometimes that means people spending $50 an update cycle, other times that means people like you who support us for months and then move on, and sometimes it's people that have stuck around with us for 4+ years. All types have enabled us to consistently work on Pale Carnations and (freely) put it in the hands of everyone.

I really do appreciate the support you've given us in the past and it's your prerogative to say what's enough. I mean, I myself am not a total fan of how centralized the Patreon platform is for this hobby both on the creator and a consumer side, but I won't get into that.
