I personally still have high hopes for the game but I can totally understand why people are worried with the direction of the game. The release schedule for this game doesn't help much either. Since you only get a couple of updates per year you can't really focus too much just on storytelling because people want lewd stuff as well.
Kinda unrealistic since a mother who has to go into so much trouble tracing the killer of a son most likely wouldn't have any such elaborate plans of revenge but would certainly put the matter on her own hands. But yeah, "theoretically" it can be possible as the story seemed to veer away suddenly from the good and realistic story and character development that it promisingly started into something of a teenage wetdream fiction lol.
Yeah, they kept throwing so many crazy angles at the story to the point that the initial (rather crazy on itself) premise, triplets from a one night stand you barely remember, now feels the believable part.
I don't think so. The devs don't communicate here as far as I know. Maybe check their discord.
If you look at their game catalogue (Polarity, Neko Paradise), it's a pretty common trope in their games. They are definitely heavily fueled by male fantasy/wish fulfillment.
I get why they stopped being active in here and why they started being so cautious about giving release dates. At the same time, there has to be a middle ground between "next update is on XX/XX/XXXX" and "crickets", especially if your game is taking 6 months between releases.
They made things hard for themselves by trying to give a story to these characters, one could easily fuck the secretary/the neighbor/waitress/any model who poses for him... while not taking much time away from the triplets(the main stars of the show).
Of course, we need the blood!!!!
It's getting harder and harder to support ANY game for me, when you forget the story and the characters between each update.I love the game, the premise, and the girls, but the lack of releases has made it so I can't justify supporting more than the minimum. 2 updates or less in a year is really making me question if I'm better off just waiting to resub when/if a new update comes out, then unsubbing immediately after, once I've downloaded it.
Without wanting to justify too long absences, a slow down is not too unusual IMO. Unless you have everything written down beforehand - in which case there probably also was a slowdown, just invisible to the players - you will start off with all kinds of ideas and very enthused and later on have to go into the gritty details and enthusiasm breaks down. Everybody has probably experienced it in some project, even if it only is redecorating the bedroom or writing a small program to sort your Pokemon cards or what have you.
I get what you are saying, but I feel that the latter, "intentional stretching" as you call it, is becoming somewhat of a trend.
Except they didn't go very far into this project
You can, subscribe to get the update and unsubscribe right after. But I guess you want it automated
My answer was to a "most developers" statement however, not this game's update cycle. (Which so far hasn't gotten slower either, it always was this one speed ...)
Exactly, I would want it as an automatic option. This option would only support actual progress, instead of supporting the developer doing whatever.
While I do understand and share that general idea, it probably won't happen, because it runs completely against what Patreon is trying to do - offer support to creators without the need to get stuff out with some deadlines or similar. Thus I personally prefer buymeacoffee (or beer), variations on kickstarter, or the option to buy a game in development on Steam or similar to the monthly payments of Patreon and its ilk. But it'll probably stay a manual option only.
