I was considering subbing to the devs patreon but it says it charges you for every post??? Wouldn't that be a lot of money?

It does indeed say that, which is confusing because that's definitely not how it should work. Does anyone else know what the hell is going on with that or can offer clarification? That's honestly the first Patreon creator I've ever seen to claim that kind of payment arrangement. I was under the impression that Patreon, not the creators, handle when and how often someone is actually charged.

As I remember when I was still a backer, he is correct in the sense that the 5 dollar tier for example will not cost him 5 dollars at the months end like many creators do it. It will cost 5 dollars times the amount of chapters or game updates they feel are substantial. So lets say there are 4 game updates/chapters/art posts in all the updates they do that they feel like deserve money,not every single post, youd pay 20 bucks total at the end of the month. This also took me by surprise back then. I have no idea if it was changed since then but since he is referring to PER PICTURE OR CHAPTER, OR GAME UPDATE, I assume it hasnt.
ok well thats a no go then lol. No way am I paying that much for the amount of content that is offered. Good game but if they do one small update a week thats a least 20 a month.

That is not how it works. This was already explained here, by the developer themselves. Search the thread for more info.
Checked it, correct, it seems you can now set a limit. This was not the case when I backed the game and it did work like that back then.

Deleted my initial post so that people dont get misled.

so what if you set a limit you only get that number of posts out of however many are posted?
As they explained it, the pay per update model is a precursor from the time when the patreon account was used for thier art and stories mainly and it isnt easily possible to switch it now. You can say you want to pay 5 dollars max for the 5 dollar tier but they enabled that you would still see all the content of the 5 dollar tier. You just have to actually select it when making the pledge.

Edit: One of the times adressed if you want to read it yourself. Sorry, it has been some time since I was a backer, didnt know it was actually changed, makes it way better though.

As I've said numerous times, this is false: see the attached image. You can set a monthly maximum on Patreon pledges to a Per Update creator, and that does not have any effect on Patreon's functionality. Anyone in the Bunny Tier sees all Bunny Tier posts, which is all you need to access the weekly builds. We only use it for determining how many votes someone gets in the patron surveys.

The only reason we are a per update Patreon is that our Patreon was originally for our art and stories, not for ToA. We had the Patreon for over a year before ToA began development. At the time, we posted art for free to hentai foundry once or twice a month, so we made it a per-update Patreon so people could incentivize us to post more often if they wanted to. Based on that support, we started to post four guaranteed updates a month, split between art and stories, and we've continued that since then. When ToA started development, only one of those four updates were ToA-related; now all of our work is put into ToA.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

For clarity I usually choose to not upload the first monthly build whenever it comes up as it's just an accumulation of the last month's build put into one update for Patreon $3 Patrons, with no new content (sometimes bugfixes). I see a lot of people always asking for it whenever it comes up so I assume you guys must not know.

And when the start of a new Month falls on a weekend, there usually isn't another update till next week.

I wish we could access logs from decision screens.

Maybe it's nondeterministic or hardware-specific somehow. Not going to record and upload a video when I can just make sure to choose the carriage option in the future.

move to another node, turn down encounter, then back
How do I "turn down" an encounter?

How enlightening.

i wonder what that preload option does
I wonder the same. It drags on so long that it's hard to believe even a gigabyte of data accounts for it. Windows prompts me sometimes about whether I want to close the unresponsive program. If the loading can't be moved to the background, maybe a progress bar would help?

That doesn't bypass an encounter; it just fast-forwards through the text. You still have to fight or take dick as applicable. The Jester is the easiest to get through, if you have a stat that can pass one of her games; but going out and back still costs food, which is likely to be short returning from the third map.

jester, Minotaur, wolf and brigand (although im not sure brigand is still one of the nodes) all have non sex/fight paths. Tbh if you are not playing this game like a *redacted* food shouldnt really be a problem, slut or not
