Wonderful news .. dev has managed to keep the hype alive, just barely, the span of making 3 full other games.
MAke sure you do not blow on it when you jump the fence and go see what is keeping this game down so much.

here we go someone with a vision having that idea tainted to suit the designs of someone else.
It's better to abandon all thoughts of trying to get anything through Patreon unless you want to abandon the project halfway through when they once again tighten the lease on what content they'll ALLOW you to create.
Actually, I'm sort of testing the water with patreon at the moment to see if I could stealth it through...
for those of you still interested, i have a new game out at https://f95zone.to/threads/reconnect-choose-love-at-its-darkest-l8eralgames.118179/. the game is complete.
i am now combing through STH2 to see what i can salvage and what i'll drop.
most likely i will re-do the sets as i've picked up some new assets in the past year or so. will also redo the characters as they were a bit toony and i will take it back to realism. i will bend the story a bit, too, and scale back some of the rpg elements which i feel would make the game a bit too prone to grinding or confusion. i was being a little crazy, i think, with some of the options i was going to offer.
i don't think, for these kinds of games, complexity is really needed. instead, i'll try to channel things back into story and characters.
i'm also thinking to re-do the entire UI so it's 100% my work, as this will allow me to consider trying to navigate the hellscape that is Steam...

this week's progress:
- designed new character models for MC, three "interests", and goblin enemies (they're adorbs).
- designed internal sets for Study (seen above), MC's bedroom, and inn/bakery
- designed external setting for satan's abandoned cathedral which will be MC's snuggly new home
- rendered a few test renders
- designed new main dialogue menu UI (this is being changed completely to avoid future licencing issues)
- created initial time structure (defining each phase for actions to be taken - evening, midnight, early morning etc.) in ren'py and wrote intro

When I dabbled in creating a mod for Skyrim, I quickly realized that this isn't for me. After the number of hours I sank into that project I have a huge level of appreciation for the amount of work that goes into any game. The fact that you and so many other devs do this in your free time is simply amazing. Keep up the good work!

it really is a lot of hours... i work fulltime, and my day job often has me working late. i spend practically every minute when not at my day job doing this. mostly because i enjoy the creative process, to be honest. sure, we'd all like to do it for a living, but i do it mostly because i enjoy it.
i can write, code, and create art. 3 things i enjoy.

Of those three, I can code... kind of. I'm a sys admin so I mostly write script hacks and ugly tools to make my job easier.i can write, code, and create art. 3 things i enjoy.

I really liked the toony nature of your earlier work; it was what drew me to follow it. Also, it is possible that you could get away with more risky content with toony characters, just throwing that out there. I wish you would consider doing at least one project in the old style if you could find time for it.
i thought so, too, with the toony, but that's the part patreon had a thing about. small boobs and the toon faces. :/
so, i just headed back to the kind of characters from the first game instead.
it'll be fine.
