You're wrong.
The game will be public at same time as it will be available for my supporters in case that no one share the game before public release date. If the game will stay behind the "walls" until that day - I'll even support players here at F95. So far I've only been able to succeed a couple of times.

I think your threats to perma ban people from Patreon isn't the way to go but it's your game and I wish you every success with it.

If I don't earn -at least - a little money on my hard work - why should I do it? If no one support me - there will be no game.
Various groups like F95 is a good way to tell about the game but also a treat against my way to earn some money. That's why I offer to make it public after a certain time. A fair deal - in my opinion. If someone decide to share my work - it doesn't make sense to make it public too. I think you should consider if it was a good idea to show some respect to dev's like me. Without the devs - there will be no game.

This forum DOES bring Patreons and donations though. Of course, stealing is bad and I would never condone playing a game that you haven't legitimately obtained. However, plenty of devs on here embrace this community, work with it and reap the rewards. I personally am paying for Patreon membership for 4 games at the moment, plus 2 in Subscribestar, and those are from finding and playing the games on here and wanting to support the good work.

The issue for you IMHO opinion is that Room For Rent is very inaccessible for a lot of gamers and the vibe from some of your supporters on here is "if you don't like it, ignore it", which doesn't help them or you. Locking the update behind the paywall for a long time (your free version is quite a few versions behind) and then threatening those people who pay with banning if they share might keep income in the short term but drive away those who might be interested in the long term. I personally wouldn't donate to you with that threat, even though I would never share links - it's the principle.

Actually v16 is the latest version, then it went on to the side story , which is also on here (public releases), Celaviegroup isn't delaying them at all, except the wait times between teirs, which most devs do anyway

If there was an award for having the most punishing grind factor, this game would win hands down. So many wasted days in this game just repeating the same scenes or passing time until the next event triggers. For example, on a Sunday afternoon the characters discuss having their next photoshoot on Saturday. The player then has to click thru an entire week with no further activity/action to get to the photoshoot scene. Unfortunately, you don't know for sure that there is nothing to do between Sunday and Saturday, so you end up wasting your time going through each day thinking something is about to happen. After this type of grind happens the 3rd or 4th time, as a player you just give up in frustration. Why would a game developer do this?

There's a Walkthrough Mod which makes it easier to find the events, also, i've played other games that are worse with the grind

You're always free to play this game or not.
I must admit that it requires some kind of skills - you need to follow the dialogues, keep track on where you have been and learn the girls daily routine. If this is too much - I suggest you to find other games/novels that doesn't require any skills/patients at all.

You must be stuck in the first 1-6 updates, because what you say don`t make much sense besides that point of version.
The Latest updates are very easy to complete within 1-2 Hours.

If you would had listen to anyone here on this Forum, you should know by now, how to progress without any form of grind in this Game.

But sure, please keep going and repeat your broken record, this only unmasks your own ignorance.

If you ask me, the only extraordinary amount of patience and love to repetition is really needed for users like yourself that are to proud or stubborn to admit their own shortcomings.

Maybe you are simply not used to this brand of Game, so if you are able try adapt. But shifting blame won`t level your own character stats^^

Room for Rent seriously what do I think about this work. The story is a joke, the writing feels clunky and was either written by someone with a poor grasp of the English Language or someone that needs to go back to school to continue there education. The animation is clunky and doesn't make sense. The story arc is not believable in the slightest. The MC was turned into a what looks like a 60 your old superman with the testosterone level of a young teenager. The girls are all cute but just stupid. The MC was turned into a 2 pump chump and were supposed to believe that he is going to satisfy a house full of young Nymphomaniacs not likely not with his small penis and small testicalas. I will have to give it that this is truely a work of fantasy, more then likely the girls would take advantage of him take his money and find younger men to satisfy there urges as he would most likely die of a heart attack before long. You also left out that he would be pumping Viagra like it was candy. Then you had the old guy take out a professional Killer that was the icing on the cake for how stupid this story became. Then you made it was it was so damn hard to figure out what to do and there were so many days that were just boring repeats with no story arc what so ever. I would highly suggest that anyone that plays this title take it that is was written by a non English speaking person with beginner level animation skills, and You MUST for your sanity use the Walkthrough Cheat MOD if you hope to not spend endless hours wondering what the F'n hell your supposed to do next. Well I know your creating a new work I just hope you have at least gotten some help in writing a good story and have someone with English Grammar Skills proof read your work before you publish it.

When you put it that way the game sounds almost perfect!
