Though, I always get the feeling the sigmas want to upend the system and patch the game themselves. Starting with a little mod here and a fan edit there, but the if the dev gets talked into setting up his game in an open-invite GitHub repo, it's usually the kiss of death. Next thing you know the game is being passed around getting patched by any dude with tablet and rudimentary coding skills, LR2 style.
Basically NTR

100% Agree I maybe on pirate site but I'm a good pirate :)
It's a matter of goodwill. I mainly use this website to "discover" games, but if the game is actually good and a fair price I end up getting it later on steam or itch.io for example. I wished dlsite improved a bit his shop for outside japan, but whatever.

I'm very outspoken when the dev is straight milking his patrons, but Jestur always gave quality releases, along with the fact of being very down-to-earth and likeable guy so far. He deserves every patronage he has atm.

My mindset on leaking a game early is a bit all over the place I guess. I think anyone who puts in quality work should be rewarded and a lot of these games specifically ripples and another title (won't name don't want this getting deleted) are better than most $60 games I play. The thing is I think the people who give to patreons for the most part are going to continue doing it weather (can't remember how to spell the correct weather lmao) the game leaks day one or not. I am sure there are some people that have no patience and will patreon to get a game early, but my guess is that's a small group.

Of course if making non patreon's wait a week or a month or whatever it is even helps them earn $15 more a month I am all for it cause they put the effort in and should be rewarded in kind. Sorry if most of this has come off as rambling just woke up so my brain isn't processing at top speed yet lol.

All I can say for sure is this game is amazing and I can't wait to see what comes next I hope everyone has a great rest of their week :)

Good pirates supports the creator by expressing they're appreciation...but supporting them by money is great because you help them through they're needs, and make sure they make a progress through the game and themselves. Just imagine if no one support them they will eventually get tired and give up.

I don't know if this is what he's referring to, but the "morning wood" scene with Jessica is extremely similar to a scene in Eternum with Nancy. Jestur and Cari know each other and have a little bit of cross pollination - a character from Cari's OIALT had a cameo in Ripples (one of the school hallway scenes), though a direct Eternum cameo is unlikely (HS1 vs. HS2 assets). What would be more likely are more scene-mirrors (going both ways), a running gag of some sort, or "product placement" (referencing each other's VNs).
