Yes, I once - last year - did a sort of survey regarding the games here. to give perspective and make it easier to follow, let us say that in total, there were 1000 games posted to here (from developers, not pirates, lol). using statistics I noticed her, out of that 1000 there are only 100 games actually either completed or actively being worked on. The rest - after maybe 2 or 3 updates - are either abandoned or take too long between updates (too long meaning 6 months to a year between updates, if that). That is why I never play NEW games (v0.1 or demos), and why I wait until at minimum v 0.6 or 0.7 before I post a review. A game would have to be Amazingly Exceptional for me to post a review earlier than v 0.5.
I'm familiar with programming and game creation. I've hand crafted 3 games myself. I know well enough all the time and effort that goes into making a game. It's very time consuming and takes a bit to make sure everything runs smoothly and as intended. Social media really does have an interesting impact on how games are created these days, even with large gaming companies.

J.D you know when i was talking about dev, i wasn't pointing you. I hope you got that.
I've always been very vocal about my support for Boom and you over the years. Also, sadly i am one that don't ctrl skip games that's exactly i feel that way in general. I often think that sex scenes are often there to hide the lack of story in those games.
To me, honestly it's more a matter of being transparent about it. Even, if you're just being Lazy or you need a break, it's better to be honest about it with the fans. Supporters aren't just patreons or pirates, they are also believers. They trust your work and stick with you if you make them feel they matter to you.

In another life (a good 10 years ago) i dabbled myself at creating, animating, rendering myself. But, i am talking about a time when this stuff wasn't making any money and we were on iirc like some sort of pervert cult lol. It's very time consuming and it also affect the body very badly (unhealthy). I didn't end up well at the time (which is why i doubt you see me again do it..), it's easy to get on a slippery slope. Still like Christ said for one good dev there is ten bad..also it's not necessarly a lack of updates issue to me. For example, Naughty Captain who developp Summerscent hasn't made any update for almost 6 months but he makes weekly updates and you clearly see the work being done.

This could not have been said better. I would support ANY developer (if and when I have the money, otherwise by good reviews, Recommendations to others, etc... as long as the developer is HONEST about his game, progress, and goals. If you do not have the needed equipment, however, DON'T expect others to pay for it, and sure as hell don't start a project until you have what you need to finish it. Most people support games and such here because they believe in the developer based on what they are creating, with a LOT of progress of some sort. It is not our responsibility to pay for your computers, video cards, processors etc... in order for you to finish a game or project.I can - in some ways - begin to understand why patreons start to feel entitled when the developers express the same type of entitlement belief just because they are creating a game or other project. I do not necessarily think developers should not receive SOME type of compensation for their work or projects, but they are definitely not ENTITLED to it. Especially those developers who make a habit of creating games, and quit halfway through for whatever reason.
The games here all are fiction of one type or another, and are usually done because the developers who put serious time into developing them and making good COMPLETE games do so because they have a vision they want to share. If you are in it JUST for the money, then sign up with a commercial gamming company and pitch your game to them If it is any good, or potentially a "money maker" then they will hire you and pay you to create the game.

Is the roadmap on Patreon gone? I found the link of it in the thread, and it has a 404 error where the map should be.
Anyway, about progress and the genre of this game.
I don't think, with the style of the game, you can advance any quicker than it already is. With an event at every hour of the day, besides very early morning, for two characters, that's at least 40 or so events per level just on day-to-day activity of S&M. Now add the special stuff like cosplay and dates. The texts, the diary and occasional side-character stuff and you end up with a mountain of content every update cycle.
Now, due to that, some of the events are fairly similar. It's not possible to not have some similar events for each level, there is only so much you can do and it not break the current progression of the characters or add even more work ( more new locations, new clothing etc.). Maybe you can add a beach or something like that, and have it be a weekend event, to add more variety, later in the game.
As far as what genre this is, I think it's a romantic corruption game. When people think of corruption, they think of darker stuff. Turning the girls into sluts (which may happen at the very end, it's one of the planned routes
) or blackmail or drugs. But corruption is just changing how someone thinks, how their personality is, to be more lewd and sexual. The girls are walking around topless, they've been corrupted....in a romantic and loving way

It'll come back in time, let's be patient ^^Boom's Attic Games said:I don't believe we'll be updating this months graphic due to being locked out of our vizzlo account. Right now, we're just waiting to get a reply back from their support staff, as soon as we gain access again we'll be sure to update it
The question now is, why were they locked out of it? A hacker try and keep failing or something?
