maybe we should make a list of things we don't like in the game so Zion can know how to improve in the next games
we should also remember that Zion is ONE GUY trying to deliver chapters every 3-4 months, and we don't know what is going on in his personal life. being brazillian myself i know how hard it can be to make ends meet in this shit hole of a country, especially in the current governmant
I personally don't think he's trying, per se, considering how long it took for the incomplete chapter 5 to come out. Also, I don't exactly lurk in this thread so I dunno how much is true myself, but there's the constant talk that Zion doesn't take any criticism to heart, so hey, that might not work. Others likely know more about the criticism stuff than I do but that's something I see a lot in posts here. I also won't say RPGMaker is a breeze to use, but my dude, it shouldn't have taken this long for this to get done, and I also don't think Eden Crest should've taken a year either.
One thing I will say for sure, on that subject, is something others have as well: Zion spends too much time NOT focusing on Succubus Covenant, the thing he started initially and the thing that he swore was his passion. He spends too much time focusing on other things, whether it's side stories, or the Eden Crest game.
And you want to talk finances. I checked his Patreon just now.

He gets this when he's not even the one making the art, and he's using RPGMaker to make the game, all on his own. You can argue taxes, artist commissions, etc, but he is effectively handed more money a month than I would say the average hard working family makes. Do I commend him for finding such an easy way to get by? Yes, absolutely. I also call it like it is. Dude looks to me like he's scammin'. This isn't the first time I've seen a hentai game be in development for years while someone still gets monthly donations from people who still hold faith in them. It won't be the last. I don't want his head on a pike for it, but I'll still call it like it is.
