Do we do now write a wall of text and if so, then if it is one with actual sentence or are we only hanging them behind each others only separate with a lot of commas, but sure it doesn't make a difference, because at the end of the day a wall of text is a wall of text and nothing more and as a wall of text a lot, I myself included, will be annoyed at it, because if you would use some time and structure the text and not only hammering the letters into your keyboard, cause you just give a fuck about others and the difficulty to read a simple wall of text, without any full stop or paragraphs or anything at all, you could even, perhaps, simple switching language in the middle of the wall of text and ich denke, dass keiner dies merken würde, but for sure, that would be overstretching it, yet as an alternative you could even write something other completely irrelevant and useless, eg. the price of strawberries and the price for one kilo strawberries is around 3$ in the USA, such information, I think it, is completely irrelevant and useless, but possible that some other see this different, also I believe 11 lines of wall of text und, mostly, nichtsagender Inhalt, will annoy a lot of user and at the end they will, most likely, totally ignoring my post or set me on their ignore list or give me a facepalm...

don't forget after Gracie's update we are supposed to get

faster updates not counting delays I say about 3 months I'm

really happy about that more than anything

if I remember correctly we are 2 updates away from Luna's update

and as you know the only girl I care about is Luna in my opinion

the other girls can go straight to hell

Giving them "wall of texters" a taste of their own medicine, huh?

Oh come on now, now you're putting Hopes on the spot there.
The characters are all Hopes' children.

You might as well grab a parent with more than 1 child and ask, "Which kid is your favorite?" in front of their kids watching looking sad.
You love them equally, right HopesGaming

Last time I had a look at this game, it was marked as abandoned - is that no longer the case?

lol It wasn't marked as abandoned, because dev continued to communicate through Patreon and this thread consistently.
What are you talking about?

Wrong game, bud. This one has never been abandoned nor marked as one.

Am I nuts, or would a Chibi of Our Donna be out of line? If Cordia isn't out of line, could we get a Chibi of Wilfred. I'd pay to see that.

We already have Chibi of Luna, Gracie, Isabel already, so why would Chibi of Cordia be out of line?

If it was up to me, I'd love to see Chibi of all characters in the game.

Also, to clarify, we will be getting Chibi of Cordia in the future (my guess? When her content gets unlocked in season 2 I think).
Not sure about the others though.
Feels like 50/50 according to Hopes:

The chibis has been a hit or miss so far. Some like em and some don't.
Cordia will get her own. About the others and perhaps in other poses? Maybe! Depends again on how many would like it.

I think I need to come in again Honestly, the first time I ever supported on Patreon was when I saw update takes 2 months. I was like wow good game and 2 months? Let's do it. And then Hopes slashed that and made it to 3-4 months. It was still acceptable to me.

On the website it clearly says 3-4 months but may take a little longer sometimes. I could do with a little longer maybe 5-6 months. But honestly its been almost 14 months now. I think you should take this part down from your patreon or at least be even more honest about it and either mention that it will take much longer.

nowhere in that answer dev says it will take him 3 months....
"what would be "
so...that post proves nothing ... except maybe someone has a problem comprehending but who knows..maybe thats me?

The first thing I write is that it is impossible to give an estimation on, as this is my hobby.
Under 3-4 months is what I wanted and is what I'm aiming for.

I also clearly write that I have had updates taken a lot more, which indicate that an update can take a lot longer than 3-4 months.
Do note that this was written back when the updates still had the normal update rates of 3-4 months if I remember right.
I tried to prepare people on the possibility of taking a long time even before it really happened.

The current long update times are not what is planned for the future. I've mentioned many times that I aim to change the style to shorter update cycle with shorter content in the next updates.

Lastly, the real reason for the prolonged update time is that I add one minute to the release date every time someone asks about the release date.

Alright, as much as I appreciate you being here and always responding cordially I think we are going to need you to leave these forums.. Cause I am dreading the consequences...

Why should he take it down though?
Nothing about what he said in that Q & A of that post from his Patreon is untrue.

No offense in any way, but only reason you're saying that he should take it down (and "be honest" when he has always been till now) seems like because you can't handle waiting for the update taking a lot longer (which Hopes admitted yes that it was taking too long but also said before time and time again, that he'll implement shorter release cycles after this upcoming v0.08 release) than what you expected.
But that shouldn't be the valid reason to take it down.

And I said it before and I'll say it again, just cause you spam same complaints again and again ("Oh it's taking too long" which you've already said the first time around) doesn't mean the update will come quicker.
Why not just be patient and wait till it gets released, and in the meantime, try out other games to keep yourself occupied (unless you don't want to play other games lol)?

Bummer. I was prepared to promptly put all the blame on the never-ending questions from a certain 'Mr. Bitter Truth'

At least you don't let a character from the Delucas universe die each time someone ask about it.

You're adding too many assumptions.
The way it works is that if patrons feels like it takes too long, they'll stop supporting. And once the updates gets released in a good pace, they may decide to support again (or not). Patrons are not mindless bots. They're humans with their own thoughts.

The way you're phasing it makes it sounds like I am acting in a malicious way and hiding that it takes a long time.
I've made it very clear in the front page of my Patreon that this is a hobby, and the time can take a long time depending on many factors, and I've never hidden this fact.
Some people accept it and others does not. I do not force anyone to support nor lie about the situation.

Again, I know that the time hasn't been great, but what is important is that I am honest and communicate that with both the players and the patrons.

what i did was separate patrons in two, those who trust and those who dont, and try to put myself in their shoes, for those who trust u, they do it cause they want to believe in ur word, right? or why would u assume they do it? cause they also dont know "all the pieces of the puzzle" right? they just know the pieces that u tell them, and then they have to trust u, again this is all about believing in others, and yes its sounds very sinical, but it is how it is, is not an "assumption of malice" is the way patron works, ur word is ur trademark in patron. As for those who no longer trust... well, is not like "there are not scammers in patreon" is a true sentence, right? so they have to look up for themself, wich is ok, again, even if u have explained that it could take longer etc, is for ur patreons to believe in ur word or not, like u say "they are not mindless bots" and those who stop supporting u, do it cause they need proof to believe in ur word, but this is my opinion, i wasnt saying any of that as a fact, didnt call u a liar or that u act in malicious ways. U could be or not, is not like u are a saint, right? i dont remember seeing u in any pantheon, so i assume u arent... pls dont smite me, jk.


Of course there is a lot more reason as for why patrons stop supporting, but for this case i did made the assumption that most of the people who quit, quit because of the delay, and like i say, i try to put myself in their shoes, and understand their reason, but only them know, i was just trying to understand it myself and sharing it.


pd: didnt like that, pls dont handle ur own work as a joke, that is, if u were being serious with the whole "add 1 min every time people ask" if not, u can just ignore this.
