How about, I have her on any day ending in the letter Y and you have her the rest?
That doesn't seem very fair Ava. Every two weeks is the best I can do and that's only because your such a nice considerate person.

I mean I consider him the standard for good big updates. I don't think I can manage 4000 renders in three months, so I'm aiming for 2500 in two and I'll consider it a solid update.
DPC = Doctor Pinkcake?
Well, he works full time on these games now days and with acting Lessons he wasn't pushing 4000 renders/episode until he got tons of hardware.

If we're talking update length, I would personally prefer that "1 year and a half" to be broken in 14-15 episodes of 1400-1500 renders than 8-9 updates of 2500 renders/ episode.
"The Author" updates are IMO large already.

However, that is me. I don't know what your patreons want and you seem to solidly aim for 10 or so episodes for the next game and you explained your reasons for it very well.
Whatever works for you, will work for us.


I'm sorry Ava but I picked Meabh first so you can't have her. Though since you obviously have good taste maybe we can negotiate something.
I prefer Carmine, but Meabh is awesome too.

I am?

I mean, yes ... I am.
Of course. You are such a nice person and definitely aren't a snarky bint, I'm not a liar honest;). In fact I'm going to sweeten our deal what about Meabh every two weeks and a box of celebrations I got for Christmas that I didn't open.

I'm not going to lie and pretend that I wouldn't like to be making big dev money, but I think that comes with an agreement. If people are paying me I think I have an obligation to do the best I can to put things out frequently with quality. Obviously devs are people and we can't work like clockwork, and we'll miss dates, but I always try my best to be communicative with my patrons and fans when possible. Peoples patronage is very valuable to me, I can't be perfect but I try every damn day to give the people who pay me my best effort.
And honestly, you're pretty damn nice to us freeloaders too! :whistle::coffee:

Gets my vote for best VN/game of 2020, even if it won't be technically finished until 2021. Excellent graphics. Intensely engaging story lines. I am looking forward to the rest, and to replaying with different choices. Thanks!

I have been in a VN slump lately, seems I've played all the hits. Been nothing but one disappointment after another, until I stumbled on this.

How did I miss this? Your work is absolutely incredible. Such a masterpiece of engaging storyline rather than constant senseless sexytimes. Absolutely thrilled and a bit upset I'm already on chapter 6. Keep up the incredible work and momentum.

Also, is this your first project? Do you have others?

Thank you for the kind words, really makes a day to see it.

This is in fact my first VN, when it finishes up at the end of the month I'll be starting right away on my second.

STWAdev This continues to be one of the deepest, most engaging stories here in this site.

Yes, it's a porn game, and no, it's not perfect, but it is so well written and full of emotion that the scenes without sex are amazingly compelling and that makes the scenes *with* sex so much better.

I don't know if you're going to choose a particular route to be canon for your next game (set after this one takes place, yeah?) but the Thruple route with Aoife and Lyndie is just amazing. You've done an amazing job of showing their love for each other and how that affects, in a positive way, their love for the MC. B is part of that package, and I'm eager to see how much involvement she'll have.

At the same time, Chris, Kimberly, and Dru are fantastically written characters in their own right, and I can totally understand a player wanting to have any of them as their main girl.

So, thank you for this. I'm looking forward to finishing your story, and eager to see what you've got coming next.

You, sir, have a talent for storytelling. You wove life into these characters, made them relatable, cherished, frustrating and endearing.

Your pacing is exceptional. The story having enough depth to immerse the viewer deep, the twists and turns very daunting but realistic. Your portrayal of a mind suffering from psychosis made perfect sense(I have seen practical examples to compare to)

This without commenting on the beautiful renders. The mechanics, animations etc will improve with experience and know how.

In conclusion, thank you for bringing this story to life. It is, in my humble opinion, very well written, well put together and I hope you continue and derive as much fun composing this as I did playing this game.

Eagerly awaiting the last chapter!
