there is no game, it is only a wallpapers-show for quite some time now.

I guess we should be used to devs running out of steam, but this one didn't even take that long.
sadly seems that way from what I read. idk I didn't play the last update since I heard it was only about 10 minutes of content

He does, and there is a patreon discord channel, which he might be more privy to talking in, but I can't say for sure. Mainly though, it's just his community and other devs making memes. He said before in this forum actually, that he's trying to find his groove, he does alot of experimenting also, because he only just started making renders not long before this games first release, I think.

Thanks for the info. Honestly if I can afford to support devs financially I won't if they only communicate on discord. I hate discord lol.

I'm thinking some of these really good digital artists probably have some kind of cross-discipline experience that they utilize. Like I'll bet photography skills would probably be a massive asset to staging good static renders. I wouldn't doubt that LeFrench had some kind of other artistic background before getting into VNs. Whatever he's doing though, it works.

I don't know what he did before, but to clarify someone on the discord said he only started using "Daz" maybe a year or two before making this VN

And you'd win your bet. LeFrench indeed has a potography background.
As for the assertion that he started rendering shortly before this game... well, he completed a first very short trial game before diving into RL.
And no, he isn't more active on Discord as far as game development is concerned. He'll post memes, comment on renders, joke around with the folks, but very little to no insight into what's going on behind the scenes.
I think when you mainly communicate on discord you shut the door on a big portion of the possible audience(probably the 35+ guys who want nothing to do with discord).

Damn just realized this hasn't been updated this year? I am also not sure Lefrench cares that much about profiting off this? He just does it as a hobby he said? But I could be wrong

Still hasn't been long enough to be near as bad as some of the
other developers...Some wait almost a couple
years between releases and folks defend them like crazy...lol
In my case, the one I was 'supporting' just recently disappeared off the face
of the earth.... shut down patreon and so forth....Kinda sucks as I had some time
invested on the next corrections....but oh well.
Personally I get perturbed after a couple months or so without an update....so I'm fairly impatient, but
mainly because I forget some of the game and have to start over each time....lol
But most games I frequent are monthly releases.... I still think LeFrench is doin fine.
Heck...there are some that haven't released Anything in 3 or 4 years but they still have
monthly supporters w a few hundred bucks per month...... just wild...
Cheers
Have a good one

I know how you feel. I've been changing the way I support, focusing only on developers who are more active and fulfill what they promised when setting the rewards for each Patreon level. Some devs just focus on producing special renders for months—it almost seems like people really like wallpapers that much. Meanwhile, others don’t even bother to give feedback on the project's progress.
