His reputation is the reputation he earned. And it's that reputation that has me sleeping on this. Sure stuff looks good, his stuff usually does. I'm just wondering if this is gonna be another puffed rice-cake in a shiny wrapper or if it's actually worth biting into this time. Cause so far, every one of his games I've tried, I thought I was biting into a nice apple fritter, to find out the fritter was a lie and all it was was a hidden rice cake. I'll likely give it a bash someday, I usually do, but so far, I've yet to experience a satisfying end to any I have tried.It seems it was censored in the first release (you'll see a lot of discussion in the first couple of pages about it). Censored scenes were released soon after, and there has been no censorship since. Lewds and animations are pretty high quality. You'll also note that some people have had problems with previous games from the developer, but ratings for his previous games are average or good (3 and 4 star). Ignore the haters and the malicious reviews, this is pretty good stuff.
I mean you have to give Dan K props atleast he finishes games yea the stories are so so and the endings always feel rushed or just sometimes blah. But atleast he finishes games unlike some game creators I can name 10 off the top of my head that will go a year+ with no update. They will milk their patreon subs for all their worth while putting out a post saying "hey guys still here and hard at work on that update" lol. I know a creator that has gone two years with 0 updates and does a update post every 4-5 months about this "update" of his all the while earning 140k from subs those 2 years.Is funny that I was reading the game description and for some reason it give me Daniels K vibes right away without seen who the Dev was but what confirmed was the render where the girl seems running, that's the only VN I seen the characters looking like that when they "Run". But was is more deplorable is that his game have the same theme every time there's always a mystery or something to do with supernatural stuff and you get tired of the same thing every time. Why not do something different, try to reach a bigger audience for a much better success. Lastly I'm on the same boat with the sentiment that his novels always start great but then at the end goes nowhere. Has good renders and good animations but the story always seems to be missing some pieces here and there. Definitively needs to work on the closure of his game or maybe get some advices from some fellow Devs. Anyway, Good Luck to him in this new project I'm not so sure I want to try this one out feels more of the same.
They all have a similar theme because they are all in the same universe and they all build up to a single big mystery.Is funny that I was reading the game description and for some reason it give me Daniels K vibes right away without seen who the Dev was but what confirmed was the render where the girl seems running, that's the only VN I seen the characters looking like that when they "Run".

Yeah...as i played several DK games and saw their endings, i really wouldn't keep my hopes up for this big mystery or that it will get solved in a satisfying maner...if we will ever see it.They all have a similar theme because they are all in the same universe and they all build up to a single big mystery.
He doesn't HAVE to from a monetary POV, sure, but he should want to. He is a creator, a creative person. If you are actually creating something, your goal should always be to improve your work.well he has quite a big amount of patrons so he doesn't have to change anything.
i agree with you BUT if his patrons don't want it and if he would make changes which his patrons don't like he would lose monetary pov (at least some).He doesn't HAVE to from a monetary POV, sure, but he should want to.

I personally fucking agree... hence I have zero monetary site links under this pseudonym. Fuck that shit. I work first for me then give to you (folks). But I'll admit... it's a fucking shit-ton of work for nothing if I'm being honest. Karma had better pay me back someday, damnit!He doesn't HAVE to from a monetary POV, sure, but he should want to.

After 5 games doing the same unsolved mystery story plus the fuckfest that leads nowhere it is more likely he doesn't want to change.i agree with you BUT if his patrons don't want it and if he would make changes which his patrons don't like he would lose monetary pov (at least some).
that's entirely possible.After 5 games doing the same unsolved mystery story plus the fuckfest that leads nowhere it is more likely he doesn't want to change.
To me it seems like the AVN sphere forgot what Patreon was about somewhere along the way. It's a marketplace for unfinished games now, so patrons aren't patrons, but customers now. Makes sense that people with that mindset would go for frequency and consistency, because it's just more bang for the buck.He cut corners everywhere possible. From the story, the dialogues, posing the models and despite that he still has a big and loyal patron base.
True... everyone is always running in every... single... game.If anything, DK is consistent.
