Well to start you should probably do some posts on Patreon to the public, It doesn't need to be anything big, just talking about the game and its development is enough. If you have the abilities to port the game to WebGl, Newgrounds is also a pretty good place to gain some traction, Reddit if its not already there is a good place as well. Also actually communicating with people here and clearing up misconceptions would help. Most everything you've said on here comes off as really passive aggressive (In my opinion). I understand it might get frustrating with people asking the same questions over and over, and even attack you, but lashing out at them is only going to hurt you in the long run.
Ok, I cool down and I take this opportunity to explain what I am doing with patreon.
Regarding public posts on patreon, @RedPillBlues : it's a good suggestion.
However, Patreon does not allow NSFW content to be posted public.
I post almost every week on twitter @ManorStories and that's a free platform.
Regarding half content "not interesting", The front page of my patreon list all our projects and I do a work in progress posts every months.
About the frequency of updates. I really don't understand what you want here.
All patrons funds go to Sylvia's development only.
All other content : Sketch raffles from BBCchan, Audio stories, artworks are a bonus I pay on my own money to keep people waiting as the game art, voices, story, and a game production do take time.
What is wrong in this?
It's a genuine question.
If you think I am not communicating enough with fans, here is our opportunity.
Let's talk, if it is for the good of the game and help making it better, your feedback is very welcome.

Hi,
Voice Actress requires a minimum of lines to work on a project.
I need to reach this limit before I can ask them to record dialogues.
This situation is not an issue: the artists can work on visuals and provide them as references to the Voice Actresses when they record.
This helps the Voices to sound more natural as recordings are not done "blind".
I am currently extending the scene in the shower and finalize the dialogues for this scene and the scene after.
My plan is to deliver the lines at the end of the week to the voice actress.
Then It could take up to 3 or 4 weeks to get the recording done (some actresses are really busy).

You don't have to post nude pictures or anything, just simply talk about the game on these public posts. When Patreon says it doesn't allow NSFW that doesn't mean you have to make all your posts locked behind tiers, just the ones that have pictures of tits and stuff like that.
That's good, it really is, but that's not going to help people who are just scrolling through Patreon looking for people to support, they most likely aren't going to go to a third party site, even if you put it on the main page.
I don't think I ever called the game uninteresting, and If I did I was wrong. The last thing this project is, is not interesting.
There's nothing that can be done at the moment, $500 bearly covers the cost of art at this point. Until you gain more support you're stuck. Which is why its important to reach out.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that at all, if theres anyone who thinks otherwise let me know and I'll berate them for you.
@RedPillBlues ... I really, really appreciate this post from you.
I am very thankful you made it.
I think I can post WIP without pictures publically on patreon, will try on next one.

Here is a short video on our work in progress.
March 2019 planned build:
. Extended shower scene A (done new lines of dialogues, smoother transitions)
. New shower scene B (in progress)
. Extended story (Sylvia's dream, revelation at the hospital)
. Chapter 0, Chapter 3.2, Chapter 3.3 voice over in progress (149/251 lines)
. MC name default to "Player" and no longer "Pierre" for old saves and scene selector
. Improvements, optimizations and bug fixes
Story :
The story progresses, and you will get a new vision over Valerie.
I updated the shower scene with new dialogues and smoother transitions.
A new scene 'shower B' is currently drawn and colored.
The story continues after this scene as Sylvia is determined to know if her lover survived or not.
Voice Acting:
The cast has done a fantastic job. (check the video)
We are currently casting for the nurse Katia as well.
This would bring the number of recorded voices to 1008 lines for the English cast.
Game code:
I changed the default player's name to "Player" as some were confused by "Pierre."
I remind you can change the player name when you start the game.
If you used old saves or the scene selector, the player name would be set to default 'Player.'
I worked on Ren'Py screen synchronization and optimizations, the game should be even more fluid on a low-spec computer.
For the following release(April/May? ):
The story will continue, and we plan some lovely arts with Valerie
Have you seen the green ray?
I will revisit the Resort Beach conversation section with Lea.
The dialogues will be re-arranged and the section will require less "moving" to follow Lea's backstory.

Wow, video looks great, and I always love hearing the voice actresses. I don't care what anyone else says, I think it's worth the wait to get those voices in. Best I've heard in any adult game.

That video looks superb, sure as hell gets me hyped for the next update, keep up the good work @ManorStories
I didn't expect this game could be good like this. I'm going to follow the updates.

Am i the only one that is finding voice acting in porn games a bit cringy?
Valerie is voiced by VoiceLikeCandy.
Yes she voices both Kathy and Amanda in DFD
Thanks

Well thinking about it in a general sense I don't think it is really a step in the wrong direction.
But yes I also personally find it weird when I hear their voices in my ears while I am "rubbing it" while simultaneously playing an H-game.
Though it is not really a massive turn off, just weird, I can deal with it... or mute it.
