for the same reason people do anything: money.why even have 4 different tiers for a game that takes 6 months in between updates
(Tiny updates too.)
I call it scam, they call it "marketing strategy" thanks to the fact that some people are willing to pay to get a game earlier than others.
i mean i get it but if atleast the updates were consistent and bigger in size. And theres no reason for there to be more than 1 tier. I agree with you, these devs are just scammers, every 6 months they add like 1 scene and rack in the money. Oh well. a fool and his money.. ~

i mean, if you ask me, they're smart, like magicians in real life: the trick is right in front of you, but you still fall for it.
Devs are showing their deal, and how "against you" such deal is, but if you pay them anyway, you're either in love/simping or stupid
(PS: i'm using the generic you as "you guys who pay for such things")

You all are vastly underestimating how much time and energy goes into these updates. Faz is just one person doing the RPG Maker coding and all the Honey Select graphics. A single scene can take a week or more to do, and that's if you work on it every night. Lets all just be thankful that he works his normal job (I assume) and then spends his nights and weekends creating awesome content for us.
He does indeed work a normal job, and works on this game in his spare time.

Heyo, I understand the frustration of waiting for independent H-games' development that feel like ages. Only a handful of H-devs (perhaps fewer than 4 in this niche) that could consistently deliver updates with short intervals. I must agree that I haven't been among the faster ones.
Furthermore, I empathize your situation as I was once also a very loyal H-game player. To be frank, I was also significantly bothered by the wait between updates of their games, especially the ones that I really adored & wanted to see how the exhibitionism gameplay/scene play out. Plus, the fact that several devs can even take 7 months or a year to update had always confused the hell out of me... until I became a dev myself. Turns out, it's an entirely uncharted world. The struggles and obstacles "behind the scenes" cannot be explained unless one experiences themselves. Hell, I even thought I could update once every two weeks when I started this.
I don't mind if you call this project a scam, illusion, or a trickery in marketing, because it is my job to take it as a form or constructive criticism so that I can be motivated to update faster & really see the game finished. In conclusion, one thing is for certain, making a decent H-rpg requires tenacity and discipline which I'm still trying to reach due to having a small family and a 9-5 job. However, it isn't an excuse. So, come join my discord server and we can talk more about this "phenomenon" there, if you want to. Or DM me. Have a great day, thanks for reading this high school essay.

Taboo, thank you. You've always been my sexy lady. I love Devin so much
I agree with taboo22.
Laymen think that programming is simply: telling the computer what to do, much like it happens with the Star Trek computers. But first, the progression of the game needs to be created; the story that is to be played, then the artwork needs to be created, perhaps new fields need to be designed and encoded. Then it needs to be designed how the computer is to do that (which instructions are to be executed at which moments). Then it needs to be entered into the listing, and then comes a long and tedious part where the programmer needs to find out why the listing doesn't do what it should do. It happens next to never that a listing works instantly; there is so much that can go wrong in the encoding stage. A program will do everything in its power to misunderstand its creator, so it all needs to be mathematically solid. That can be a very labor-intensive job which, in the worst case, may take several weeks, but only rarely less than an entire day.
And none of the steps I mentioned are things that one can do in a minute or even an hour.
Culture Shock always shows that a lot of attention and care is invested in it. Please do not think lightly of the, painstaking at times, effort was invested in it.
And through all that, the man has its daytime job, and a social life to live.
Grant him a break plz!

I really enjoy this game so far, looking forward to trying the new update.
But from an outsiders perspective the biggest problem so far (considering a quick background check) is that you seem to be an artist first and a developer second, which is apparently slowing you down with all the technical shenanigans. Maybe in the future you can split up the work to focus on your strenght. (No disrespect) But if the current way is the one you want to continue I wish you all the best and swift learning experience for future projects.
Btw. Is your language from a few posts prior some kind of indonesian? My translator is dying halfway through. (just curious)
