This is a conversational update. All conversations in this update will be important further, but there is no content in the update itself. In this connection, I have a question. Should such an update be released for all patrons or wait until more content has accumulated? I myself can not decide, so I will conduct a survey. Separate for patrons, separate for followers. I will collect reviews based on them and decide what to do. If you vote for short updates then all those who are dissatisfied with the size of the updates will be sent here. I am so cunning.
Just a bit of a tip, you should really rather delay an update by as much as you need than release something without any scenes at all (unless at the very beginning). Yes, your characters are great, yes, I actually enjoyed the images by themselves with swimsuits, but it's the internet - I can download a book/VN in a second and also have access to amazing pictures in exactly a second. The fact your game is posted here makes it clear what type of game it is and releasing an update that doesn't really contain that kind of gameplay (again, with the exception of very early ones, where you focus on build-up), can really make it lose steam.
Again, in no way a personal comment, I quite like your game and will continue following it, I'm sure a lot will too, but just a tip on how to not lose patrons.
man this game is awesome. Im into this game more for the mystery and the Romance content than some regular porns. this one has best scene and story so far

Sorry, but this is bad advice. If you want a lot of patrons, you have to release updates as often as possible and no matter how much content there is. At least my entire experience speaks of this. I had the biggest increase in patrons when I released short frequent updates. If I was only concerned about the number of patrons, I would not do such a survey.
Frequent updates = many patrons. And nothing else! If you often release updates, you often appear in "LASTES UPDATES" (We all looking for new games there) and more people notice you.
Plus, people forget that I'm sick. If I feel bad at the end of the month and I can’t release an update this month, half the patrons will simply go away. And that's fine! Why should they pay for my illness?
So, advice to everyone who just decided to release his game and does it for the money: Make updates more often! And do not mess with the plot! The plot does not make money! Only porn is on sale!
I'm a bit concerned about the direction the game is headed. Specifically, with regards to the main character's past. Hopefully, I'm just making a mountain out of a molehill here, or I'm misunderstanding something because it got lost in translation.
Other than that, I've been enjoying the game a lot. Maria has stolen the show for me, and I'm looking forward to that swim in the pool. I like how we were given the choice to help her out straight away or ask for a favour. I'm curious as to how long he is going to keep his identity a secret from Maria. She should suspect something just on his reaction to her saying that she admired the woman who owned the island. I feel like this is a conversation that should happen sooner, rather than later, because Maria said that she likes honest men, and I doubt she'll be happy if she learns who he is from someone else.
At the very start of the game, the main character said that he had been on the island for a month, and then the game jumped back to when he had been there for only three weeks. So I guess we only get about a week with Maria and her girls, which doesn't seem like a lot until you remember that we're still on day two. Inanna said that he was sent to the island a year early, and while the MC originally thought that Maria's husband sent her here to get rid of her while he prepares to clean her out in a divorce, Maria said that the vacation was paid for by the MC's mother. So, I'm guessing the mother is trying to use them as pawns in whatever game she's playing with Inanna. Which is odd, since dream Olivia said that Alice had already fallen to the darkness, which I assume is a reference to Inanna. So if the mother is trying to use Alice in a plot against Inanna, that doesn't look like it will work out in her favour. But who knows, we don't have a whole lot of pieces to the puzzle yet. I could be that the MC was sent to the island simply as an act of desperation rather than as part of a cunning plan. But I wouldn't put money on it.

Heck! It seems I will soon have to kill you. You know too much!
In general, I am glad that we have collected so many things and made very good conclusions, although not entirely accurate. It is very cool!!!
By the way i wanna make a bug report to you here, I found lot of mis naming in the dialogues. i can tell by the sentence that Maria is speaking but it shows Micheal on top of the text. so sometime it gets really confusing in terms of story
I think it's probably both. Plus, how skinny she is. It's hard to say for sure because we don't see her standing next to anyone. Except in that one menu image which I somehow didn't notice until now. But even then, I still think she looks much too young.

Well, I think voting can be considered closed. Unconditionally won the option with long but big updates. I, of course, would have preferred another option, but what can I do? We here like democracy depict. So, the next version will be 0.3. When she comes out, I honestly do not know. Hope very soon! I'm working on it!
Thank you so much for your time and vote! It is very important for me.
I was not active for several days. A whole bunch of bad things happened. My back was hurting again, I had to rest for a few days. I have two relatives died, in a row. Not the closest, but I spent enough time and nerves. And yet, problems with RAM returned. Again. :-( I hope I will save up for a new computer someday...
I just wanted to remind you that the work is on and I have not disappeared anywhere!
It is not broken, it just is not enough. At the moment I need 64Gb for comfortable work. 32 are half measures. 4 DDR3 boards of 16 GB cost about $ 823! Just 16Gb is not a format for DDR3. If you take 4x8 out $ 250. Why spend such money to upgrade a five-year computer? I'd rather save by July-August and buy a good, powerful computer with the ability to install several video cards!
Do not worry, if nothing works for me at all, and I do not find a solution, I will immediately run to the store. At the moment, it's just an unpleasant obstacle.
