It's probably got lowish patreon numbers because it's not just some shitty happy fappy porn game.
Indeed, likely the main culprit.

But still, this is definitely looking to be a GRAND adventure, I am just afraid the development of this game is going to be... tedious. For all parties involved.

I'm used to long waits for updates for these games. Most of my favourite games get one or two updates a year at most.
They are usually worth the wait imo.

They might be to people like us, but the majority needed for the dev to actually make some money - don't like waiting a year for 30mins of renders, no matter the quality of work.

And keep in mind that the average F95 forum member probably isn't actively supporting more than 1 dev at a time, even on the lowest tiers which are usually 1$/month. Unless these grand ideas aren't true passion projects for the devs, the abandoned tag is inevitable.

And I am right more times than wrong...

The story is exciting and doesn't get entangled in any male fantasies. You don't portray women as sex addicts. The naked moments are very appropriately integrated into the story. The story is in the foreground not the sex. I wouldn't pay attention to all the whining from guys who only want to see pornographic content. There are enough bad games that do exactly that.

This is a game that women can also enjoy playing. After all, there are far too few of them. Yes, dear men, there are also women who love erotic games. Keep it up.

It sounds like this is interesting to me too. Thanks for the recommendation.

I couldn't do that I played like 4-5 months ago this game was always on my mind so no way I could of waited haha. But I think the next update from what I recall reading once will be the steam release. i'm gonna have to replay it too especially with the different branching early on
The next release will also be the official Steam release. It will be an Early Access game so as content is added on Patreon I will also add it on Steam also. Plus this way people will only need to buy once instead of needing to buy Book 1, Book 2 etc.

Trying to explain to people which games deserve support and which many others do not
While I don't disagree with your example, it's a little egotistical to assume you know what deserves or does not deserve someone else's support. Do some people make dumb choices with their own money? Sure. But what they think deserves support vs. what you think deserves support is all subjective. And ultimately it's their own money to spend, so I could see why your "trying to explain to people" what their own opinions should be or not would likely fall on deaf ears.

Don't worryI,t's not selfish to make people use their neurons
So anything that doesn't match with your perspective is failing to "use their neurons"? I'm half joking, ofc, but still: if people want to keep supporting someone that (at least in my view) it doesn't make sense to support, that's their business. It doesn't mean I agree with their spending habits, but it's not my money so also not my business. Shrug.png

If you give a bear a fishing rod (an example, don't take it literally), you are not telling it what to catch... but rather that there are better ways to do it, then the bear can fish however he wants, understand?:WeSmart:

Damn, tell me you got it, I didn't bring my crayons with me
I get it. But if the bear refuses to use it (or worse, if it turned its head away completely and wandered away when you presented the fishing rod), you've wasted your effort. And many people don't even like to hear the suggestion that they should consider something else, so those bears will probably attack you instead of seeing what you've presented to them. As soon as they see something about wasting their money or about "you really should support this other developer instead", they turn their bear-heads away and wander off into the forest without listening to a single thing you've said.

And again, your suggestion that folks should consider supporting someone else is probably perceived as fine, but the suggestion that what they are supporting should be changed? I could see a lot of folks getting unjustifiably irritable about that. IJS.

I like it a lot, great job! beautiful graphics and so far good story.
I loved Qinara and definitely saved the game on my VN List , cant wait for the next update.

ps i forgot to add that the soundtrack is one of the best i have heard in any VN , very good choice of music for a fantasy VN.

Many cucks in this thread this VN is a red flag.
I mean it isn't that kind of game.... I think all the dev said if it does get that kind of content it would be optional random encounters but not part of the main story.
