Because if he makes no money the game ceases to exist.
And I'd be happy to support him if he wasn't so greedy and actually listened to people on Patreon.

Instead, he just milks them and makes decisions that he alone wants to do anyway, all while making it deliberately obnoxious for anyone who isn't a patreon to check out if they like the game.

Guess what, he's allowed to make the game he wants. Patreon is 'donate if you like this and want more. It's not 'donate if you want to control my project for me'. The author also has a free version available to everyone thats only a little behind the patron only version... want to test ride the game, use that version. Its really quite simple.

Not gonna lie, the game seems pretty grindy so far, is there any way to get my grades up without cheating?
it is grindy as hell and tedious, but its also an Alpha stage game.
Studying at home and succeeding/crit'ing in class will up your grade normally

Regarding the NTR whines :
Netorare aka NTR is literally Cuckolding, none of these women start the game as your wife or girlfriend or even bound concubine, thus there is no NTR in the game. Love and Sex are two different things, mixing the two is fun, but not required. To get to the point these girls are slutting it up all over town, you have to break their minds to the point they've lost any and all inhibition AND corrupted them completely. They have no social moors left to anchor them, and only fear of prison to maybe slow them down. They can love you to death(especially if they go obsessive), but that doesn't change the fact that you have twisted their worlds upside down and inside out.

YOU, the player, have complete control over how much you brain fuck these girls. Don't want them slutting it up? Fine, keep their corruption under control. Who woulda thunk it, maintaining a harem of women who would otherwise have nothing to do with you, takes some effort and management.

Remember none of these girls even LIKE you at the start of the game, except your mother and sister. For them you have to smash their brain to get to the sexy times, overriding a situation that's culturally taboo(sometimes illegal), and something most people instinctively have an aversion to.

This aint pokeporn, you aint gotta catch every scene in the game. Hell the way Baal's making things it will eventually be impossible to do so on one playthrough. Bottom line... if they're fucking half the town, its your fault... Don't make them go there.

I'm very curious where you got the idea that people feel Patreon is "donate if you want to control my project for me." Because nobody said that.

People are free to do what they want with their games and their money alike. If you want to make a game the way you want to, which is in your right, and no one agrees with it, don't be surprised if no one supports you on Patreon. The developer is not required to conform to the wishes of his patreons. Likewise, the patreons do not need to keep supporting the dev. It's really quite simple.

Like I said, my issue with this developer is that he spends most of his time adding needless software bloat in the form of storylines that no one necessarily asked for, and updates for actual content and characters that people like become progressively slower because of it. On top of that, he's especially dickish towards anyone that would try to play his game without supporting him, in the form of passwords and such that make even Patreons' experience worse.

For these reasons, I'm not going to be supporting him with my money. He doesn't have to change any of his policies, and I'm not trying to speak for anyone else. But from some of the comments, it seems like mine is hardly a one-of opinion.

It should also be noted that his previous RAGS version of the game took way less time to create and even after one year it's still more robust than the current one. It is and was never a matter of picture/graphics quality, he just needed a reason to get payed. Too bad he never delivered, like almost everyone else currently developing games via Patreon.

You're covering both sides of the issues here. First you say the Patreons don't need to keep supporting him if they don't like the game he is making, then you complain he is adding things he wants and no one asked for. Can't have both sides of the argument here. Doesn't work.

If you don't like what he makes, don't support him. I stopped because I thought the pace was going slow, and while he did elicit feedback with polls on who to make next, and what area to focus on, I thought the progress versus what was released in the RAGS game was way too slow and was not going to get anywhere. I stopped about a year ago and look at the progress against the original game he wanted to replace. I like the direction he is going, its slow yeah, but I don't support him any more so I really don't complain. It's his game and if he wants to take this long, and in a lot of ways yeah it does take a bit to render, code, and write - I just think it should be further along than it is.

I compare this to Lab Rats, where its still Vren doing the game, but in about a year (if its been that long) the game is almost done. Sure it doesn't have the depth and need the mechanics that Superpowered does, but that game made a good line of progress. I still don't feel much of it here, there is a lot of framework that needed to be put in place, and that DOES feel like its there, but its like a frame and I want to see something in it, that I don't feel is there yet.

Part of the blocking of content was due to not wanting to lose control of the game, and the content he is making. I can understand that, there is a thought that if you don't protect your rights you can lose them in case someone copies what you are doing. He made that case early on, and I went through the pain of the monthly passwords when he first implemented it, I didn't like it but I understood where he is coming from. After all its his work, his baby, his own sweat and tears in there so if he wants to protect it the way he wants more power to him, either it will drive people away from supporting him or it won't.

I'd go on but that is enough for now.

It's not a complaint that he's not doing things the way I want them to. It's an explanation for why I don't support him. He doesn't have to do things the way I want them. He does if he wants my support. It's really that simple.

Considering how desperate he is at trying to block content and how slow his progress is, I suspect deep down he knows some of the decisions he made are not ideal, but is probably too proud to admit them. You compared it to Vren with Lab Rats, and I agree. Lab Rats is a much better managed project. He's made regular updates, it's actually delivered on its promise, and he's closer to completion in just a year than NCP has in longer. I support Vren. I'm not going to support NCP the way he manages things.

It would be one thing if the industry standard was to block work behind passwords and protections. But it really isn't, and as plenty of other h game developers have shown, you can have a fairly successful title and plenty of Patreon support without it. The effort he goes through probably ends up hurting him in the long run. It's a system that just adds more work for him, prevents people from seeing his work more regularly, and reduces the exposure he could get which leads to more patreons. There's no reason to believe that he worked so much harder than every other developer that he needs a bunch of custom protections that aren't really that successful in preventing the game from being leaked anyway.

This I very much agree with, I stopped with Baal because I didn't see as much progress as I expected. As an open project Lab Rats was made early on to allow modding. Vren even noted that he wanted people to do things with his stuff, add scenes or whatever, all he asked was you share it with him. Although there is not as much of a world as Superpowered I think the framework for Lab Rats is just as robust. Overall I find that the focus was better and delivered much cleaner than I have seen Baal do.

Baal does well with cleaning up issues when reported, so I will give him that, but the protection while I understood it thought he made more work for himself than needed.

Overall there is a nice game with Superpowered. If it can live up to its predecessor that is. While I like that more and more girls are added, just the fact that little has changed for a few for so long, I don't know, almost makes me wonder where his time is being spent. Maggie (the Mom) for months had little change in content, while you got a little from each other girl. Its nice, I just expected more to be done overall by this time.

As i already say, I am NOT a modder, I don't know anything about programing or anything similar, I cant assure if he encrypted or if i am doing something wrong. I just try to fix something i did not like in this game, NightCity told me on patreon that he did no encrypt, but when i extracted the rpa the rpy files look like this to me.
View attachment 8130

The mod i made in the v0.5 was with the modded version, so by now i am gonna wait to see if someone do a modded version of this one.
Thous are the RPYC files, the RPY files are not included with the game at all. If you need them to make a mod I can share a copy once I download the latest version.

i guess i already got the rpy files by decompiling the rpyc, is that ok?

i still did not start working in the mod cause i have the v 16.00 and i don't know who do the modded version of this game

Grades only increase from studying or as a professional favor from Principle Larson, requires you not to supress professionalism. Class crits, when you particularly well in class, increases how much studying raises grades. If you want to cheat, though hit Shift+o and type grade=X.

I checked the image files and there are no events for denise.
No she doesn't have them yet. That's all she's missing though.
