The sad reality is that his patreon won't drop that much at all, I saw many Devs from porn games to normal games after build up the trust from his supporters and know how to PR their project will always gaining more and more supports even when they stopped developing their game serious like how they used to do so when small. They will always have blind people follow and stay loyal no matter what and continue to get milked to the end

I think anyone putting a minimum thought into this would realize, but as you say there are lots of blind people who wouldnt even consider stoping their support 1 month out of 12 of development, specially for a final result like this. At this point all he is trying to do is not to loose patreons by saying the part 2 will be up in only 1 month, so that they dont stop supporting in June. Lets see how much time for us mortals 1 month is.

Also that whole covid excuse mockery was unreal. None of us know him or know what he has been through, but keep charging his patreons after some 'events that sucked up months of development' without mentioning them until now just feels like he has writen yesterday after thinking of something to say.
I feel like saying harsher words to him and anyone believing his words, but i like this game a lot, so im going to hope something happens that make him change his approach to his project (hopefully this 2 new members help to it).

Judging by the dev's post on Patreon he seems to have hired 2 new artists, and he claims it will speed up the creation process and promises an update next month. What this actually means is that the update will come out in August if we're lucky. I think i played the 0.7 version around 2 years ago, so might as well wait another 2 years for decent content. I wonder how long he can string along his patrons with empty promises.

So the rest of the update is actually coming next month uh,

You must be registered to see the links






















Hello everyone!

The waifus finally arrived, with a lot of delay but they are here...
As usual check your mailbox for your rewards or join us on Discord for more content and information!

About the Update :
I want to underline that this is NOT the global vision I had planned for it, the update actually do not include(yet) 5 and 2 major scenes with Yoko and Keiko...(saw in previews)
Almost all the renders were made, but unfortunatly this is was complex scenes with several branching and path, the script then took me a lot more time than planned to transpose.
I decided to postpone this content for next month, the actual update then may feel a bit underwhelming and short (though there is a lot to diggest story wise).
While I always promised myself to do always better than my previous work, I just couldn't make you wait much longer, this delay was hurting my work and your trust more than anything else...

But, then! In about a month you'll take your 2nd Waifu injection! And with the help of 2 new Bee members I will even be able to add the Bathhouse scene(Inori, Brooke and Tomoe content!) you guys also already saw in previews!
Welcome Xomatsu and Redknight, both veteran of our Discord server who will contribute to 3D renders and speed up the creation process...
(Don't worry though, all render will always pass by my hands to ensure the quality stays the same and even improve.)
Anyway they are really capable, just look at the banner it's from their work! (a glimpse of a full wallpaper set available in a week~)

Enjoy the plots and the waifus, stay tuned for Yoko's Adventure next month... Thanks for your trust and support!

Irphaeus.

Meh. Can't be disappointed if we don't have expectations.

See you all in a month, or 2022.

Whichever in Irphaeus-o'clock.

Wait, is it true?

More seriously, sadly another "month" for the second part, but if the dev keeps the word then maybe he will regain some more trust again. The fact that the update finally arrived (even partially) means the game is not abandoned yet.

Regarding other points from the post, maybe now progress might be faster again, but it still is kinda bad that it took longer and longer to release updates, I think this should have happened earlier, this update being the best example yet for how long it took.

As i asked before are there any way to fix the save game files from the version 0.8.0 ? I don't want to use other players save files nor in the mood to start the game from the beginning .... just simply want to enjoy the new content
If yes please tell me how to fix them, thanks.

The update wasnt bad as in content wise, the problem was the delivery.
By delivery i mean how long it took and all the lies that came with it.
Still here's to hope that he didnt lie about the tough times during the past year even though if it was me and i couldnt follow up on my promises i would freeze the payments just to keep the belief on me alive and to prove i am not here to milk my game to the limits, he didnt do that so i am still reluctant to re-patreonize myself yet but if he keeps on the regular updates from now on i could see myself believing in him again since as many people have stated this is still one of the best games out there right now.
He just needs to realize his way of approach into his customers and the fact that with what he said he hit a wall now, now it's either live up to what you said or people will get conscious and start leaving cause as i said even though the update was not bad it's still not nearly good enough for the 1 year delay.

This is so sad to see....
And I say this as someone who pledged as VIP at the start of this project for a bit over 2 years.
Someone said it earlier: This would be such a fantastic game if another dev would do the work.
I can only speak for myself, but I'm glad I finally stopped supporting this delay s***show last year.
