I think that's for everyone and not just for them: inflation increased everywhere and I believe it's very rare that Patreons income raised equally (actually, could even be the opposite as people had to drop out due to the squeezing of the cost of living)

How are you so sure that Andras x Rowan made them lose subs? when they did the polls few months ago even they were surprised at the popularity of that content, if I remember correctly...
(also, "make the game you want" yes and no... this game was derailed almost irremediably because they rushed to the end of act I without consistent planning)
I think the idea there is, they didn't really increase the sub cost to adjust for inflation.
Which means that taking a real money version of that graph would not exactly be informative of how popular it is BUT how effective the project is at keeping everyone paid definitely had declined.

Yeah, he might lose some % of subs over canning lowest-engaged content from Act II, but speeding up development will also net him a larger % increase as compensation.This won't be good for patron retention.Should've thought about that before letting people pay to add a bunch of random shit to your visual novel. Good luck finishing acts 2 and 3 with a tenth of the "content" you had in act 1. Seeing how a lot of it was near gibberish over a blacked out screen anyway I reckon you're hoping nobody'll miss it.

Even if the devs were so inclined the Patreon terms of service mean that beast-man characters like Greyhide and Whitescar, or fantastical monsters like the Wulump are the closest you are ever going to get.
You're doing a great job, dev. Just really holding out for AlexiaAndras content. For something that appeared so early on in the game, it kinda tapers off and we haven't had new content with them in a while. What is there is fucking amazing, but I know I probably speak for a sizeable portion of early fans when I say that a full NTR path with Alexia x Andras was explicitly promised from the get-go and it's a bit sad to see it in limbo.
That's why I always come looking for changelogs. I want to know if that's finally getting progress yet. It never is, so I'm always disappointed when I see this game for the last forever.
I'm pretty sure the Alexia x Andras scenes will continue with Arc II. At the end of the current content she's pretty much his loyal pet already. I think some time back a dev in this thread talked about a "alexa_is_rowan_wife" and "alexia_isnot_rowans_wife" switch for the second part of the story.
Hey so it's been many years at this point since I last played the game, and I just wanted to check something to be sure before deciding whether or not to allow ntr: You are fully able to decide when and with who Alexia has sex, right? and hopefully her attitude towards it? Cause like, I'm really not into the whole "oh my partner is so bad compared to you" thing that so often comes bundled with ntr, but if I can just let her have fun with others then i wouldn't mind it
Yes you can choose who Alexia has sex with on the NTR mode. Just avoid the Andras NTR if you want to avoid Rowan humiliation. Maybe Jezera too but I don't remember any explicit Rowan humiliation on her route.

To add on to what vandal.h said:
While all the sex scenes are optional, you don't get any say over her attitude during the scene itself. However, if you read the text leading up to the choice you will usually have a pretty good idea of how it is going to go down and can factor that in to your choices.
As for Jezera, in her NTR path she is ostensibly trying to help Alexis repair her relationship with Rowan by teaching her to be more sexually liberated, so Jezera isn't humiliating Rowan. However in reality Jezera is wrapping Alexia further and further around her finger and by the end it is pretty apparent that Alexia isn't thinking about Rowan at all anymore.
If you are looking for "safe" people for Alexia to sleep with you might want to let her to get to know Greyhide and X’Zaratl, and to have work in the breeding pits to meet Sil and the maid Job to meet Mary. Jezera is also fine as long as you don't start her NTR path (keep Alexia's relationship with Rowan high). Also most of the one off scenes you'll find here and there than are fairly safe.

Man, part of the appeal for Alexa x Andras NTR was how she was still strongly in love with Rowan and he was always more important but she coudn't get enough of Andras. To have her become another pet wife like the other 912838974 ntrs out there already in act I is very lame to say the least.
I agree. My favorite part of the AlexiaxAndra is when she is essentially coerced into the acts, sacrificing her own dignity and such to help Rowan, misguided or otherwise.
If/when Alexia goes full on Andras cumslut that is begging for dat red dick, then any tension is gone and it gets kinda boring.
So hopefully future scenes will retain the ability to establish her mental state during the scene.
While I prefer when she is fully coerced, this is other that still works. When she cant stand the man, knows better than to get involved, she should stay *far* away from him...
...and next thing she knows, she's wondering how she wound up on her back with her knees pinned to her ears.
But if she just turns into a willing cockslut, meh. No tension == Boring.
