Not only Southern France, where i live ( more on the northen part) it's hot too. The only thing that we know with certitude that he's saying the truth about is the heatwave and i could understand if he couldn't work because of that, between not feeling good and your pc melting down, understandable reasons
Here in Portugal last tuesday when I was leaving work around midnight it seemed like I was near an oven all the time. Never had that around that hour. Fortunely starting Wednesday was cloudly and a bit better, but still insane to sleep.

This is the one game i hope didnt took too long or abandon, the story currently end right at the best part, when everything is so close to be unveil, and there's... uhm quite a few girl that you didnt get to "explore" and "spoiled" yet that im very much looking forward to (*cough* Motoko *cough*).

At least he isn't lying about the heatwave, as he did on the car accident. I confirm it is extremely hot in Europe yes, specially .

Fortunely it slowed down a bit around here, although for what I understood the heatwave is going north to the UK.
oh below 30 Celsius is hot alr? My country's everyday last month was ranging to 45-51 Celsius xd

With the money he's making (exact number is not known, but you can guess based on number of patrons), he could just save for a month or two and buy big enough fridge to fit himself and the computer in. No more troubles with heatwaves, guaranteed.

Man this game is so good I would be willing to continue working on this game and irphs can keep all the money. I am serious, all he has to do is teach me how to use the required technology and assets and I can take it from there. Fuck the money he can keep it, I just want this game finished

Is it unusual to have air-conditioning where he lives?
I mean that depends anywhere in the world. For example two of my friends needed to get AC in their rooms because they don't have AC in their house or it doesn't reach well in their house. One lives in Canada and one in Tennessee. So it really just depends on their living situation is. It's possibly his apartment just sucks ass. Also you could argue for him to move apartments but remember things are more expensive today lol.

Well, expensive or not, he does earn enough money to live in Paris in a good/really good appartment (Granted, unless you really like Paris and want to live there, it would just be a waste of money, but he could :p)
But concidering he never moved and still got a 56k internet, it's pretty sure he won't move for any reason.

Aside from that, well, didn't really have any hope, but as always his "soon to be update" is still nowhere to be seen. At that rate, we will either never see the end, or get a butchered one... (Irphaeus, would you please refind your work ethic ?!! not that I have the right to complain since I don't pay ^^)

Lol change of topic with the internet but and not quite sure what you mean by "56k internet"? Is that some type of internet company. Also he's mentioned he has shit internet and he's shown his upload speeds.. He's made it clear he wants to move eventually. Hell I would as well if my apartment had shit internet and AC.

Also patreon graph says he makes 3-10k a month. Now imagine it's on the lower end.

20 vips x 35 = 700
Based on discord ranks
Patron rank 107 x 15 = 1605
Funder 107 x 7 = 749
Supporter 370 x 3 = 1116
---------------------------
Note though this is before taxes.
Total; $4170
(He probably averages around 6-6.5k a month just from a guess.)

It's also a rough estimate based on whos online on the discord at the time of this posting
(only about a little under half is in discord or online but majority most likely fall under the supporter rank)
Also the Patreon thing bugs out so people might have a rank still after pausing/canceling their payment which can skew the data.


Here's the average cost monthly for rental housing, a decent chunk for monthly payments. (It may have raised since last year as well I have zero clue).
There's also other payments he probably has to pay a month.

By no means am I dick riding him right now, however the AC situation is reasonable considering what's going on with the weather over there right now.

He's does have issues with his work ethic, I'll agree with you on that at least lol. Even without the AC issues though we probably still wouldn't see the update by the end of the month.

Even if, by some miracle, the update releases by the end of July, it would still mean it took him 10 friggin months to release one whole update since this is still part 2 of the first update. This game will still take literally years to finish the first route if he ever finishes it at all and doesn't pull an Icstor out of his ass and suddenly stops working on the game altogether (and his simps still continuing to pay him anyway :ROFLMAO:)

Are you from Kuwait or Iraq? Those are the only countries this year to have been in the low end of the range you claim at their hottest hour of the day only.

30 degre , its not unusual temperature for the peak summer lol people are souless npc ...

Even in québec canada 30degree is not un usual .. omg since the vaxx people seem stupidier each passing days
Peak summer in Quebec has an average temperature of 19ºC. Far from 30ºC.
Also, the heatwave that was being discussed is around 30ºC during the night.
1 AM as I write this and it's 29ºC in my home with all windows open. It's been like this for a week and it's not been under 24ºC at any time for over a month.

such a minor thing normally wouldnt be a problem for me in games, but it got mentioned so many times that it became almost immersion breaking to me: despite all of the possibilities to grope Elizabeth on the train in the early parts of the game, i never once did it, and yet for the rest of the game her dialogue acted like i did it multiple times. I get that she likes exhibitionism and that was supposed to kind of lead her into it, but still, i feel the author should've accomodated for the possibility of me not groping somebody in public, and added alternative dialogue options in future scenes.

The game is a linear visual novel, it gives you the illusion that you can change what happens in the story with all the choices presented but they don't do shit, you are forced to follow the story in one way anyway.
Even if this game isn't a "proper" visual novel I still enjoyed it because the plot is good, and like you said Elizabeth is an exhibitionist so I would have groped her anyway. Girls like her want to be corrupted so why not :sneaky:

Good analysis.
For rental price it's difficult to use since it's highly dependant on where he lives. If it's around Paris it's way higher than some other places.

For temperature, we have a big heatwave since a few days but normally today is the last day of it
