True, and very much the case with games that has the porn as the focus.
But DeLuca is not (solely) about the porn. There is no 'buildup'. For there to be buildup it requires that the end goal with all the interactions is aimed towards sex in the end.
But here the sex is not the goal- it's just part of the journey. It will just happen as you progress with the girls naturally. You interact because you want the story and learn about the girl. After sexual interactions, the next interactions will still be about the story and the relationship between them.

Of course, in this marked, that style is classified as a niche and perhaps I would gain more patrons by following the popular formula. But I enjoy what I do and I'll stick with it.

Thats cool and stuff. I just meant to say that its kind of a strawman argument to say that people arent supporting this game en masse because they want directly to the smut type of games. This game is not hugely supported because its extreme opposite of directly to the smut games and most people dont like extremes, they prefer to be in the middle.

I mean, it's hard to say what kind of support this game would have received if it went path A or path B. Maybe better, maybe worse.
What I can say about the support is that I am personally very happy about it.
I do not know of any other games around my release period that gained a mass following in patron. The few that have done well are under or around the same numbers as me. Of what I know that is.
So I wouldn't say the game is not hugely supported due to 'extreme' opposite of smut games but rather that the marked itself is not in a place where mass patrons happen anymore. Most of the big pledge games out there been on the market since almost the start.

To get more than 100 patrons with the very first game (not even finished) is always a BIG PLUS.
Basically, you're building your name.

If you stay in this business and stay true to yourself (not "selling" fetishes as some old titles did), your second game will be probably a huge hit - this is exactly what happened with PhillyGames and DrPinkCake and I think HopesGaming can expect the same.

The "Event" tab?
Did you get the event with Wilfred, Blakie, and Cordia? In which you take the Family Oath?
After that, you need to talk to Wilfred.

That's what's important honestly. I see people with Deluca fan signs around the forum alot(myself included of course) so you obviously have a following or people who appreciate the work you're doing. It's important too that it's work that you yourself are happy with. It really shows when the devs aren't happy with their projects but the love and care you put into it is apparent. And you're right about the patron numbers because that doesn't account for the amount they're donating. For only being in this line of work for around a year i'm guessing? You're doing pretty well so far.
