I would agree that 30days for a "closed" release might not be in your favor. Since I'm leeching myself, I'm not here to complain. And the quality on this effort is certainly worthy of a steady income. But given where it's at in terms of content, you might consider a SHORTER delay to the public. Build up some audience. Rather than do the opposite and likely find your income shrinking.
To be honest, if I'd been paying ($15 or so, assuming?) for a total of $45 over the last 3mo to earn this latest update? [EDIT correction: my initial playthru was ver.03 and not .01. So that’s bad math on my end.] I'd be a bit ticked off. Having said that - Crowd Funding is not exactly meant to be an equal transaction. There's value to be had in the pleasure of assisting someone else's effort up off the ground and into the hands of a many grateful others. I'm not arguing against it. Just sayin...
A longer release-delay to the bottom-feeders out there (like myself) might not enhance your financial situation at all and achieve the opposite instead. Wish you luck either way though, mate. This shit's too damn good to not continue.

LeFrench is not they, it's just me. I try my best on my own to make every update worth it and on time.
I love every single aspect of this and sincerely hope everyone enjoys it as well, patrons or not, but I gotta eat too. This level of graphic quality alone is not some basement hobby, It's 16h/day, every day.
Also now with the game fully uncensored, i'm permanently barred from all indie games websites like itch for public releases. Squeezing marketing and visibility options even more.
It's a fully assumed decision for the game and player's sake, and I also don't give a damn.
