Not sure how your reply is related to my original question about TGO, and if TGO's production will be completed end of the year as stated in the weekly report?no, i think once the main story finishes, the update will have the additional KS pages as mentioned before, so additional sex scenes + KS pages without story updates, because the story is coming at an end [more 3 updates, as mentioned in the report]
Yes, ToN's story will be completed in 3 more updates (around August I guess). After that bonus content will be be released bi-weekly. Means, each updated will add an additional 1% to the completion of the game.
Sounds to me that in cases of uncertain setbacks - during TGO's production - more or less bonus content will be published. In other words: The longer TGO's release gets pushed back the more fillers will be released - like as some sort of compensation for the delay.what bugs me is this IF there is more bonus content than expected...
Well, patrons still get content delivered while sorting out the problem with TGO. Still better than going AWOL for months or a year, like an other major game developer did.Anyways this is a classic move to get more time ( AND MONEY ! )
I think the weekly update confirms my previous post about ToN's - and now TGO's - update process. Production is at least 6 to 12 months ahead of public content. Players/Supporters get "tiny" updates bi-weekly over a period of 1 to 1,5 years while working on the next game.This is pretty straightforward if it is a correct statement... and yes it could mean what you suggested before
From a business point of view it is a smart/wise move and secures the cash-flow for the next projects. (Possible that he took the risk (bank loan) and invested it in adult games (Lust Epidemic/ToN) and now harvest the fruits from it.) So, in other words releasing the game via Patreon in "tiny" bits is more profitable than releasing the "complete" game via Steam for a higher price.
He didn't accuse him/them of milking. I think it is a matter of fact that production of TGO didn't go as planned from past weekly reports.They aren't stretching ToN and milking it at all.
The latest delays of TGO's release might be caused by bugs in the game or by voice actors (illness of voice actor etc.).
