A perfect example of how powerfull this site is, I hope developers keep this in mind.
Not everyone takes Patreon donations for a year without outputting anything. Aside from those who use the “pay per release” model that Patreon offers, there are people who pause subscriptions during months where they can’t put anything out, and also people who punctually deliver content every month, as promised. I daresay that “paying months on end on some vague promises of future content” is not, in fact, the most common situation for Patreon subscribers, even though sometimes AVN devs might make it seem that way.

If you want to be pedantic, Radiant's patrons receive something every month, a wallpaper. It may not be worth it but it's a fact

I am gonna be pedantic and compare artist patronage of the renaissance up to the modern, pre-internet era. Patrons would receive some small rewards, including positions on VIP lists, priority to sales and auctions, priority as clients, thank you notes and other similarly low work-time pieces of art.
Sportsmen (and women), often being more athletic in appearance, as well as more seen and covered in media, usually got similar patrons as sponsorship in return for wearing logos and publicizing their sponsors.
Companies have also paid scholarships, often with clauses of employment upon completion of a degree, yet not every gem becomes cut that way. The idea, although much smaller in individual scale, should be similar.
If you pay for a product, you get it, or you get a promise of getting it. I can support that line of thought.
If you pay a subscription for a continued service. I am quite opposed to that, but have done it in the past.
If you pay for the promise of a game as a subscription. That's just stupid. A $ 5 a month is 60 dollars a year. While paying 10 or 20 is double or four times as much.
Which is why, they aren't paying for the game, they are giving the artist (team?) a living so they can continue doing whatever they want. After a certain point, without needing to worry about working for 40+ hours a week or starving to death.

..............................Let's hit 1000 Pages!
This will let us know that you really liked the latest shitpost and help us enlist team members and resources to make the shitpost even better.
First let ME just say I've never understood the obsession with this game. True, Father daughter doesn't do it for me, but to the people raving about the story or the renders....have you played other games here? Literally nothing about it is standout. Now as for the update itself.
How was he getting it ready for release if he still hasn't coded the back half? That's no where near release ready, late September at the earliest (if he was a fast coder, he's not), more like October.
Good luck to you all. I'll be watching with great interest.

Knowing that updates might be 12+ months apart, Subscribe when the update comes out, get the update, unsubscribe, rinse and repeat, that way it only costs you money when updates actually come out.
The more money lost from people who were consistent monthly subscribers, might motivate them to release updates on a more regular schedule.
Then you could subscribe monthly if they pick up.
Personally I don't subscribe to developers who have updates that far apart.
Generally games I like that have a less frequent update schedule, I will buy on itch.io when the updates come out (if they have a page there), or just wait until they release on sites like this.

But anyway, people have been waiting for this update for god knows how long now, so a few more days really isn't going to make any difference, lol
EDIT: Yes yes, more facepalms please, points out all the people who can't take a joke, lol

Yeah right, will just add more days in the 13 months since the last release. So little time, right?

I am kinda biased cause it is literally in my top three games but yeah I think its worth it even it you have to wait a long time for an update...hell there are games on the site that are clearly listed as abandoned and they still get play because they were good up to the point they stopped getting updated so if you are willing to download and play those games then a game with slow updates shouldn't be an issue...try it out and see for yourself but I vote yes its worth it and I think you will enjoy it

A lot of things are worth it
I mean I think Happy Summer looks like absolute Dog Shit but for free I would download it and see if it has anything redeemable. Because it is just as free to delete and never return to that thread ever again if I am unhappy with anything about the VN, the content of fetishes, or the developer practices
Free makes a lot of everything easier to just let pass. Who has time to be angry and come to bitch about everything anyway? I have a life outside of F95 as I am sure you do given your refreshingly carefree perspective here.
PEACE
Lol, look at the date of the post. It's from March. So the current beta testing is not dependant on a need to code half of the update right now.
The update is extremely close to be released now.
"I'd be surprised if not released this very week if not this weekend."
Scratch that, release is tonight for the US lads which means morning to afternoon for the EU lads.

Doesn't take away that Dammed handed the beta version to one of the AVN community most involved members for a final check before it get's published.
Meaning the only job left for Dammed is to get some sleep. Wake up, possibly fix some grammar issues spotted by the tester (if at all found), and upload it.
That's it, that's all.
No more renders, no more extra coding. Just some grammar shite if needed and it gets uploaded.
