I'm not a fan of the What If's 'cause I really want more of the main story, but more power to the creator for flexing their creative muscles. Back to waiting.

At this point people who believe 'Muh developer work on what ifs in his free time!!!. It's his hobby!' are either very naive people or simply a ntr fan. Seriously look at how many what if's he released lately and how many main game chapters. Also somebody please check how many renders and animation scenes will be in chapter 11 (excluding bad end ntr's) and compare to how many of them in what if's that released between chapter 10 and chapter 11. If it's close (or even more) then it means the dev has plenty of free time at his hand for his 'hobby' :ROFLMAO: He has more 'hobby' time than work time for his main game it seems...

Honestly why not just say 'I want to farm ntr whales more than work on main game!' and move along. Again this 'what if's doesn't effect development speed of the game! He does it on his free time as his hobby!' is such a cringe lie dude

Also this 'muh cuckold fans are the paying customers so dev want to focus on them!' is completely fair but what would you expect when most of the game's sexual content is simply ntr content when you count the what ifs. You would expect huge portion of harem players supports that? Nearly all the most supported and biggest earner adult games on patreon are vanilla and harem games which has zero ntr in it. So non-ntr players (which is overwhelming majority of the adult game playerbase) would love to support the game more if the focus of the developer wouldn't be so much on ntr content. So blaming them on not paying when they are the lesser catered playerbase of the game is kinda weird. I mean despite all of this I still think even this game has more harem fan patrons than ntr patrons but it seems like 'what if' votes are max tier locked so it's natural that what ifs are always ntr simply because of ntr whales

This may be the best What If that I have seen. Liked the references to other visual novels, especially the BaDIK one.

Also, the Ophelia's NTR setting reminds me of blacksheep's futa story about a boy (Josh) whose mom always ends up banging his girlfriend (Nancy), other girls and even Josh himself sometimes. Ophelia becomes as cruel as Josh's mom, not caring at all about her son's feelings.
do you know the name of the other games that are referenced

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.

Trolls are trolls. Quality, content, and writing in your game is top 3 at least, and I'll happily continue to support your work on Patreon.

Sometimes the what if's are pretty good(1, 3, 5, and kind of 7), and the one's that aren't so good are usually because their boring or too much on the ntr side of things(all of these are basically ntr to the max, but how it's done, and who its done with mean everything).

This one I did like for the unique kinks of futa ntr. However, given who they did the futa'ing too and how she was written, I would of liked this if just Sterling and the mom split the difference and fucked hunter out of the picture(sharing, and basically cucking hunter out of the picture). Clever and fun use of other games however, I thought that was nice and on the nose for those and this game.

Overall, while I do say keep them up; at least if they keep this level of novelty (2 and 6 I didn't like because they were basically just old school ntr plots, but do use lucia more she is bae), please don't get so wrapped up in what if's to end up stopping the main story. Especially since; even though I like some ntr with good characters, I do wish given how sterling has been built up, he would get less dicked on in a horribly karmic way in these stories. Honestly this is also one of those games that balances both ntr/non-ntr choices so well, that while I like to see how you sneak ntr into a update, I enjoy seeing how sterling win's out and beats hutner. Because usually if both choices are an actual option and a creator is trying, inevitably they usually end up putting more effort into one side then another.

I wouldn't be surprised if the main story took a bit longer, since you seem to always add unique or at least interesting/enjoyable dialogue for a genre that usually goes towards the lowest hanging fruit of entertainment. Thanks for the fun while fapping!

To be honest, i dont know how you are so patient with thoses guys lol, everytime this game recieve a update, a bunch of retards come here crying about ONE game recieving like 10% of scenes they dont like and dont need to see, to me, they should be ban from this thread but i dont know the rules, and i pretty sure you know that already but they will come back in January to complain about NTR scenes again, just ignore it and keep up with your job man, after that What If, i 100% sure you can be way bigger in this type of games, maybe you next project, you should try to release on Steam or something like that, anyway, thanks for the game and i realy hope you can earn way more, to bad i live in a shit country and dolar are way to expensive right now but i promise you i will "help" in the future.

I see the Anti-NTR crybabies are up to their old whining antics again.

wHy DoEsN't ThE dEv aNd PaTrEoN's CaTeR To My EnTiTlEd PIrAtInG aSs??!!! waaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaa

Friggin' infants, are incapable of seperating fiction from reality.

Quite frankly I like the What if's. Their fun and whimsical. I hope the Dev keeps making them.

I'm actually very satisfied with Power Vacuum's overall progress. Versus too many to mention other games out there that are literally doing NOTHING for YEARS and are basically scamming their patreons. Although it's their money not mine but point being, Power Vaccuum has been getting these insanely well done "What Ifs" sidestories that are high quality and not just some random 5 minute useless garbage that other devs put out as "sidestories" just to buy them more time to scam their patreons.

And the story of Power Vaccuum is already so far ahead of everyone that everyone knows it's nearing completion. Again, unlike majority of other games that just cockteases you update after update. There's always something in this game EVERY update, whether you're into it or not there's always something.

I don't even like Futa, I'm not playing the new What If, and that's totally fine! But I know someone that actually enjoys that tag will appreciate it. I already enjoyed the 7 other What Ifs and the actual game with a shit ton of content in it and ACTUAL ACTION.

Well, you're not exactly a salary worker in this case, you're more of an enterprenour, and everything regarding your product has repercussions, either positive or negative. If you stopped with the what ifs, it would have some effect on your earnings, and so would releasing main updates in 4 months instead of 6 (if you spent those extra hours working on the main game). Which one would be more beneficial to you, thats another discussion.

In the end of the day, it comes down to what I said before, you say working 9 hours on the main game would burn you out, while 6 hours in the main game + 3 hours on what ifs doesn't because you enjoy it more.

But "people need this explained" because it's pretty much the same work, and therefore there's not much reason why the main game would be taxing enough to be considered "work time", while the what ifs are "free time". But If the different script somehow makes it more enjoyable for you to work on what if, then it is what it is, I'm not gonna pretend to be able to read your mind.

THe WHAT IF? are getting better and better and this one is the BEST... Really loved the crossover at the end. I was hoping for Ophelia to go visit Linda from Milfy City but of course, the dev cannot make crossover with every popular porn game on patreon.

What? Why? Games If you ever see my message, just be aware that right now with the crossover, you have a tool in your hands. You have endless possibilities of making parodies about other games.

Because right now we are reaching the next level : we used to have NTR porn games that are parodies of major franchise in pop culture, big budget doushinji. But Now... we are getting NTR parodies of porn games and this is simply perfect.

You did an amazing job wth this What-if 8, I am as much excited about those than I am about the main game. See you in january. ;)
