On Fayn Arawn's Power Vacuum quiz I got 7/10!
I'm rather surprised.

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).

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.

I wonder. Can WWG recreate scene - He is in the goddamn walls! - from Blark and Son in Power Vacuum? And who would be who.

Just random thought.

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?

Is there a date for when they bring chapter 11?

COPIUM

 

[Bear2093]

Maybe we will get an official release date tomorrow.

 

[Glasskull]

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

 

[Pervinator]

Is there a date for when they bring chapter 11?

February 29th

Is there a date for when they bring chapter 11?

My dad works at WWG and he said they're aiming for a mid-February release.

Cool! My dad works there as well — in the HR department. Does yours work in the marketing BS department?

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).

Is there a gallery unlocker?

It's always good to see a dev actually cares about their game and doesn't waste time on "grammar" (looking at you ero) haha but I agree with you on the release window as WWG tends to be one of the more accurate devs in that regard.

Is there a gallery unlocker?

Yeah, when you complete a chapter, you gain all the scenes for that chapter in the gallery in the MC's room. For NTR, you need to have NTR turned on from the start if you want to be able to view them. playing with it off, you can't turn it on or view them later.
