When the game was first released I loved it. Went to Patreon to take a look.

Then I realized everyone involved had their own Patreon accounts on the side.
At that point, I decided that unless they were paid per update, no way in hell I would support this Patreon.

I get people not being happy if a dev alternates between different games if they don't like all of them.
But potentially paying multiple monthly contributions to a person that alternates, not just supporting them in general, but specifically based on projects they are known to not working on right then while also getting money for the projects they are working on - doesn't feel right.
For some time I supported some of them through their own Patreons because I liked their other projects too - but stopped doing so some time after because it felt! like none of their projects got updated on schedules that seemed worthwhile - especially compared to the update contents, or they were abandoned or got no satisfying endings.

I'm interested in the whole end result though, not some episodic stuff that gets canceled at the end of season 1 or 2 leaving everyone hanging, or is only good when consumed/looked at update by update. If the finale is not satisfying it sours what got you there.

I still like the game, but it's nothing I'm holding my breath for anymore - if there is some update at some point I'll play and enjoy it, but if no further updates come, I won't miss it. Which is pretty sad for what it could have been like.

Yeah I was really excited when this came out. It felt like it could be one of the best games on this forum and I think the potential is still there. But the devs have to actually release content to keep people interested in it. There are a shitton of adult games now and new ones keep coming out every week. The update they released was fine, but I don't think it justified the wait time. The quality of the renders and animation of this game are pretty good, but there are games with similar quality being released at much frequent rate. At the end of the day it's their game and they are the ones that have the most to lose if it doesn't succeed so I won't stress about it.

Question for anyone who's still a subscriber or follower on Discord...

Have they started the progress tracking/reports that Dammed said would come after the last update?

Well, more to look forward to, I guess. I'm leaning towards Maddie more than either of the others, but not in a big hurry. As long as the slutty waitress remains an option I'm going to be just fine.

I think it's Grace (the mother) at the start of the game and not Olivia. They look alike.

Well....shit. This game got me hooked and played with my emotions with the sad backstories and trying to make things work. Then I hop on here and see that development schedule ain't going so great. It's good that they're adding a progress tracker, but I think everyone who's had their fair share of experience with adult games should know that it may not mean anything (*cough* STS *cough*). Still, great game overall and hoping for its continued development.

Edit: Oof yeah just took a look at the time between releases on patreon...2 updates a year. Yeah I think I may have to put this one on the backburner and come back to it later on. Don't get me wrong, the quality of the game is really good, but I also feel mixed when I see a game releases an update maybe once or twice a year, especially when I've seen other developers release monthly. While the quality of the renders of those games may not be as great, I guess at this point in time I'm more interested in progress more than anything else.

I had this idea where alison sleepwalks in op mc and olivia doing someting, and you can choose to stop or continue, if you continue you can ignore her, look at her while olivia does her thing, and of course she is nude. Just a scenario that came to mind.

At least dev kept his word with making dev updates (2 for now, seems to be monthly). Will see if he keeps at it. He also changed the goals and removed the ridiculous one "help us get back at 1k5 patrons"

Dev updates are public but for those who don't follow them on patreon, here is the last one:

Hi all. Forgive me in advance if I'm not sounding too chipper. I recently (and quite unexpectedly) had to say goodbye to a dog I hold very dear... my best friend and companion Mindy, a rescue who I bonded with quite a lot over the last 10 or so years. This just happened this past Wednesday, so as I'm sure many of you can imagine I'm feeling pretty down.

Depressing news out of the way... I have some more previews for you all! This time featuring (a very sick) Brooke, some fascinating looking fruits and dairy products (is our MC snooping around?), and of course our surprise visitor. As usual, I'd like to keep things pretty vague with the previews as to not give away any major spoilers, but I'm happy to report things are progressing steadily and we're well on-time/on the way to deliver Chapter 5 in the timeframe we've given you.

I've updated the

to reflect this, and I should be updating it again/finishing up a few more scenes in the next week... maybe two. Thank you all so much for continuing to support us. We couldn't do this without you, and even though I'm quite down at the moment I can't WAIT for all of you to play the fifth chapter... and it's something I very much have to look forward to. I'll also be dropping some new and fun exclusive content on Patreon this coming month, so keep your eyes peeled for it!

Love you all,
SirD.
