Ohhhhhh... I completely forgot about that! Thank you!

I don't remember the order of the scenes because of the way PV lets you choose which plotline to advance, and how they're organized in the replay gallery. Did Eva's "it's gone" scene happen before Brenna's "bobby pin" scene? If so then Brenna was unconcerned the dildo was missing because she had already taken it and was planning to "find" it or put it back.

Yes, if I remember correctly, it was one of those events that you had to progress Eva's plot to get to Brenna's. So Eva had to have discovered it missing before it goes missing from Brenna's possesion, then somehow it ends up with Ophelia with a fake note, and then she tell's MC to dispose of it and I don't think it gets mentioned how.

There we go, I was wondering what happened AFTER with that thing, but yeah, probably disposed of on a way too unimportant to the plot to be shown, or heck he gives it to Lucia on chapter 11 for her to let him sleep.

Has WWG ever spoken about going full time game dev? I understand he does PV as a passion project but he cant be that far from living off his patreon.

I'm pretty sure he's usually working full time on it (see below). Unfortunately he only has around 1K patrons, while DrPinkCake and NLT both have over 15K. Shit, even ICSTOR still has almost 4K. PV is easily my favorite adult game and I'd like to see WWG reach the level of success he deserves (which is why I'm a patron).

What? Why? Games said:
I don't know why people need this explained, but here's a mock-up of my schedule:

If I work six hours a day, seven days a week on the main game(assuming eight hours of sleep), that gives me ten hours of non-allotted time per day.

Now, during periods where I have a lenient schedule, if I devote three of those ten hours to What Ifs? as a form of overtime, how is that delaying development of the main game?

Yes, I could spend those overtime hours on the main game. Same way every salary worker could put in 50% more hours per day for no benefit. My goal as a one-man team is to find a work/life balance that is sustainable. The What Ifs? stretch me thin but I do them because I'm passionate about exploring new concepts in my work and they are a breath of fresh air to me.

People like to throw around the term "milking", but understand that if my patrons want me to stop doing What Ifs?, then they'll just be getting less content on the same schedule because I'm not spending more than 42 hours a week on a creative job that pulls in manager at McDonald's money at it's peak. If you average it out with the first two years where I made employee at McDonald's money and the 15 thousand in computer equipment, it's laughable to expect more.

At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is my update schedule. And my update schedule of 6-7 months per chapter is absolutely fair. For the amount of content in it and compared to other developers. When you factor in the What Ifs?, you can see how much of my time goes to pumping out content for my patrons. Chapter 11 has been scheduled for January for months on my end whether the What Ifs? exist or not.

When I downloaded the Android version - it said it's patched, but all I got was "how could you do this to your own employee?" - so I think the patch is not THE patch, right?

I should let you guys dream... But let's be honest, if WWG said the release is gonna be in February cause he needed more time... That more likely than not means the later half of Feburary. That being said I sosososososo want him to release it this weeeeeeek

Eh, I see it the other way. If he had a guess that there was even a chance that it would land in January earlier, then it means he really thought it could be finished by then. I'm sure he can get it out in the first half of February. I usually say to be more open and not too be too optimistic when it comes to the release date, but it sounded like the writing was the only thing he had left to do and once he's satisfied with it, we'll get a release.

Played from start to finish (Ch 10) and enjoyed it for the most part, but the last chapter, in particular, was a bit much for me.. with everyone doing constantly ridiculous things (and more importantly, doing them without the MC) because of whatever gas the air conditioner was spreading. Hopefully, Ch 11 will be better in that regard (actual NTR scenes notwithstanding).
