Yeah, that's awesome, sincerely. Unfortunately, the real issue is, as has already been stated on this thread, that NoirDesir is a perfectionist. This means that everything has to get tweaked, retweaked, reworked, worked to death, and then overhauled all over again. It's wonderful that this won't be abandoned, but will it ever get finished? I worry, honestly.

It's the same problem with writers in general, and why the George R.R. Martins and the Robert Jordans of the world take years to finish any of their books and (in the case of the latter) even pass on before completing their work. It makes me sad, because it's very solid craftsmanship and it's a pity to see it ultimately unrealized. They could all take a page from J.K. Rowling; not the most polished books really, but they get finished and are still of relatively decent quality.

However, I really do look forward to the next release of Thinking about You, for sure.

I just feel bad for him. He spends so much time on a game that will never receive a lot of financial support.

Well, this developer could have kept my financial support, but lost it by NOT spending time on the game, but instead going for long periods without any word on Patreon and then starting over from the beginning. I believe there have been 2 such complete restarts, maybe 3, it's been hard to keep count over the years.

Doing a restart when you are well into the game is a sure way to piss off supporters and potential supporters. I am currently a Patron of 18 different developers, but I will not throw away my money to any developer who does that.

I used to help Enyo Eerie with False Hero (play testing primarily) but ended up getting really frustrated over time when I'd have to completely restart with almost each new build and have everything basically start all over . . . again and again. And I wasn't even paying money, just play testing. So I can definitely agree with your perspective; I have the same.

To be fair to them tho. They are only bringing in less than 84 quid a month. That's less than what I earn working one shift at work so.

And why is that? The game is fun to play. The LIs (especially the sister) are lovely. The sex is hot as hell.

The reason is that this developer fucks over the people who would otherwise like to provide support.

He's making $103 now, after doing nothing for the last 9 months (and very little before that for a long period).

I usually like to support developers and even supported this dev for a while.
But this dude is just unpredictable.
So I am not going to throw any money at him and hope that somebody with low support tier will drop the game here in the near future. ;)
Thanks for that :cool:

Honestly I don't care if the dev is a he or she. A lazy bum is lazy bum, independent of gender.
And the lack of transparency and communication is even worse.

I still believe that the writing style and story telling is nice. Julia is very loveable and I don't mind a slow build.
I really enjoyed the pussy rubbing and blowjob scenes, but most of all the somewhat crazy dialogues.

But re-writing the game every now and then, disappearing and not giving any update sucks big time.

Just my two cents and I would truely be happy if I am proven wrong here by the female dev.......!
