I am a patreon..so, i've played the dev build. As of now, i can't say the new implement are a lot. It's a nice addition and i expect more till 0.6. Rather, it's not what i expect. it seems you're building up the game (including diaries etc..) it gives the game more life, but also it gives that impression of not moving forward (and i was a patreon of vevqil, gumdrop and pandelo, so i have patience
)
As for the dragging down things, i don't mean it in a negative way, but to be fair if you went a straight line we'd be at M&S level 6.
when i say dragging things down, i think what i meant to say in my not so good english, was "taking things down".
things went forward quite fast at first, so if you go at that pace, the game could be finished in two update (if you rushed which i don't wish for). I do hope things will go faster for RIA, but reading the updates..it doesn't feel so. I thought with a dedicated dev at the head things would go faster, but it seems, it's the same pace.
My post sounds harsh, but it's because i like the game, the slow pace corruption that looks more genuine and without any drugs or mind control for once. (it's in my top five, with Ecchi sensei, Waifu Academy, Light of my life and Longlivetheprincess), i feel frustrated about its advancement at least compared to your other game (which sadly i don't dig in). I mean if you pledge 10$ monthly it's that you like the game.
and 0.6 is in end november..i have build access but..to people waiting for the 0.6 it sounds so damn far away..
