Honestly when it comes to game dev, anytime within a year, falls into "soon" for me. I feel like the posters here have really unrealistic expectations for part time/small team devs.

Right, when a dev say "soon" we have to research his history to guess if it means "a few days"-soon or "a few years"-soon
I'm one of the bois who always likes to give the devs and 3d artists the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions, cuz RL can be a real spiteful bitch sometimes, and most of them work part-time on their projects, so a slow release schedule is to be expected, but in this case, I'm not so sure how committed LeFrench is to finishing this game anymore.
Sure, the renders look pretty good and take time to be finished, but the last 'update' he released doesn't really help him back up all the promises he made these last few months he supposedly worked on the game, and I honestly don't think ppl need another ttll scamming them out of their money with small updates and a bunch of wallpapers that have nothing to do with the canonical story.
There's also the lil fact that he has another almost-abandoned project on the waiting list we shouldn't forget about, with this one soon to follow, apparently, so ppl's concerns about the dev's empty promises, lack of commitment and this game's inevitably getting the abandoned tag is perfectly reasonable, cuz, as much as I hate to admit this, it sure seems like LF is following other devs like Aorrta's and ttll's development pattern... the conclusion should be pretty simple and obvious, at this point.

Oh yeah , it’s so unrealistic expect devs be honest and stick to their own words, right?

It's always the 2 year mark when everything starts to fall off.
The initial excitement of creating something many people love and can't wait to play, getting increasing support, growing your patreon with new subscribers every month, it all comes to an end eventually and it's usually 2 years into the development where everything starts to plateau and the excitement wears-off and turns into fatigue for the dev and frustration for the supporters.
If you're lucky and you managed to grow a substantial amount of subscribers in that time then you will always be called a milker, if not then there's a chance you will just dissolve and disappear but from what i've seen some will still call you a milker no matter what.
But it's hard not to symphatize with the devs sometimes, especially when a quality game like this can't even break 1k/month meanwhile a fucking brain-dead honey-select or worse game that doesn't even have any audio is steadily bringing 5 figures every month.

Do you follow video game development at all outside of horny games? Shit happens, can't handle it, only buy/interact with full releases.
Also "soon" isn't a quantifiable word in English, it's vague and personally defined. A dev could quite honestly describe something as happening soon, and have you feeling chapped because you don't have the same paradigm for the usage of that word.

From the 1st release, he said there would be an update each month. He also said this game won't drag and things will move faster unlike other VNs almost 2 years later and not much progress except for Kat.

"Soon" shouldn't be two months long in the development of porn games. Most updates take 2-4 months depending on the length and quality.

I'm with you on sympathising with devs especially when they are not supported well and they are doing everything they can but a lot of devs abuse this trust of supporters more often than not.I'm one of the bois who always likes to give the devs and 3d artists the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions, cuz RL can be a real spiteful bitch sometimes, and most of them work part-time on their projects, so a slow release schedule is to be expected, but in this case, I'm not so sure how committed LeFrench is to finishing this game anymore.

I mean he said he had family stuff for months while he was working on the game that slowed development. Then the experimental stuff slowed him down. I still think this game is awesome just been super disappointed with the small updates hopefully he gets a groove soon and starts pumping out solid updates. The dude developing sex bot makes pretty content filled updates quite frequently

Don’t worry I work everyday towards a polished finished product. Turned out game development is a far more complicated process than just pose, click render, type code, done.
It’s very encouraging and shows that what I do means something. Frustration is a compliment compared to indifference.
Like someone said, stable workflow groove is a bitch to find but I’m getting there. Not 3 years ago I had no idea what a 3d software even was.

Nah, I’m fine I live off very little. Sure I can’t buy a mocap set for better animations or voice acting or six 4090s but every month is slightly more than the one before.Hard reality
Slow and steady growth is healthier than explosive success. Very few can take it. That’s where things stop dead, pressure is too much too fast.

Then why tell your supporters a new update is releasing "very soon" if you know how complicated development is? Some already feel scammed with the last update you put out. Why not just be honest with us?

thing is i know how lefrench works. that guy is such a perfectionist, barely 20% of all his renders even get to the final stage for the game. dat dude is constantly trying to find better light effects for his image, taking hours for a pose cause he is never truly satisfied with one.
and in his free time... he is getting tortured with greys anatomy by his waifu
for real, i understand if a dev does jackshit, but here it's just the curse of a perfectionist going wild on each pic. so that guys nagging simply aint justified... and it's also kinda getting annoying

Hello everyone,
Busy rendering, the office is hot on GPU fans running all day and night. In the meantime here's something I've been working on for a few days now during late nights.
With Kat getting involved in the studio business, you'll start noticing more and more custom clothing assets I made myself. I always felt guilty of not being able to give anything real for higher tiers, So I found a manufacturer that accepts NSFW designs and I gotta say, to see something I made on 3D software like a dumb amateur becoming a real object is humbling.
Now I have to order every single sample to make sure the quality is up to expectations. Manufacturer already has good reviews but you never know. And find a way to relay them for free to high-tier patrons, be it gift codes or pre-paid, I don't know yet.
The shop now exists, set up and ready to go. It will open and items appear as soon as they appear in-game as well.
Insisting on them being cheapest possible, chosen the lowest cut (5%). Also, (almost) all special renders or pin-ups will be available on printed on framed canvas.
Finally all those pics have a proper use and it put a stop to random renders. Only making ones good enough to deserve a physical existence. These kinds of inspiration instances happen rarely.
what sort of harem is it? can you have them all/pursue them all without consequence or is it only certain girls can pair with each other?
