Yes, to some people it matters so we know not to support a game that has a high chance of being abandoned due to the same "if I don't make x amount by x date... game is aboned".

I think as long as people are keeping an eye on their own pledge and seeing consistent work from the dev then even if they have abandoned in the past, they should still support if they enjoy the game.
He's doing the same thing with this game too. It's in the FAQ, he "needs" 1k by Chapter 4.
It's also just so fucking disrespectful to his past patrons to show back up with a new game with absolutely zero explanation after ringing them along for a year

You are highly mistaken.
eromersive’s got over 500 patrons after he released ch. 4 of demon boy and enough to, in his words, become a full time dev and upgrade his workstation.
But then comes the dev cycle of ch. 5 and after 8 months of previews and devs, when seems like the game was close to release he started a shitshow of excuses of why game wasn’t ready and ghosting people until he simply vanish. His last post on patreon is from January this year promising release the update in TWO WEEKS. And then, nothing.
So yes, if he is Eromersive (I’m not saying he is) it is a big thing. Because we are talking about a guy that deceive and string along people for months until disappear and then come back under a new account pretending be another person. And this is dishonest. And baffles me see people being ok with dishonesty just because of pretty 3D images.

I see, I didn't really follow this EroM guy so no clue what all the backstory is. But I'm all for second chances ( if he can prove he deserves it ).

Ok I played through this first version and I can say if this isn't Ero it is someone who studied Demon Boy with a fine tooth comb. Same themes of corruption for the NTR, same themes of the MC getting some kind of behind the scenes power, Same layout of the UI, Renders are strikingly similar. It's Ero. And that sucks because this game's renders and themes are worse imo and people who paid Ero to lie to them for a year don't even get answers for the way he behaved.

I would rather heard honest response where og backers can go fck themselves, it was free real estate, got burned out, now he wants to go back for some reason and his money back. No complicated excuse, no hospital misadventure, monkeys eating HDDs, just honesty. I stopped caring before, now I want to start again. A service for a price - take it or leave it.
Even if someone is scum, ppl will eventually pay if they get what they want.
But this just seems dishonest. Well, always can be proven wrong...

i mean on one hand i get it, if you are below 1k per month then you cant really be expected to work on something full time but saying "nah if i dont make this much by this time then im scrapping the whole thing" doesn't really help his cause cuz then people are just gonna go "oh its not near 1k, might as well not subscribe because he is gonna abandon it anyway"View attachment 3094439

The Dev SilkandMilkProductions of Primal Instinct and Heir Apparent has at least already 2 times proofed, that this kind of "Business Model" does not work.
Consider this VN abandoned within the next 2 or 3 releases.

Exactly. If he needs $1k by release #4 then he could just do releases 1-4 on patreon and then when he has 4 done just release on steam and make $20k, tis annoying how some would rather abandon.
I think he literally trolling us at this point. He did as much as he could to make things clear HE IS EroMersive to return his fanbase, but he will never admit it because he don't want to continue Demon Boy development or making excuses.

I'm thinking about supporting this guy, I liked what I saw, and that scene with the son was just wow!! the character is very cute and all, but let's get to the main point, if he stops the game simply abandoned, EroMersive has 122 paying people, I am currently a Patreon of the following creators, Nemiegs, Foxied Games and Zorlun, these are creators who work hard and these deserve support
Oh wow I didn't know this bit. If that's the case then yeah that and
Didn't really have a plan for when people actually gave him the money he wanted so he just ghosted.
EDIT: Holy shit he's still getting paid from the Demon Boy Patreon too, lol
He never set a monetary goal with Demon Boy. He just lied over and over about its development to get more money and when he couldn't hide that he was grifting anymore he vanished
