I was going to ask someone to summarize what's been happening because this update has been unusually long then read a bit, they had a kid? And someone said - but not confirmed - this might be a longer update on top of that? No wonder.

Welp. My dick is a little sad, but it is what it is. Hope they're managing to not get overwhelmed with taking care of a child and balancing working on the game. I'm a leech so I can't really comment with any real weight to it but I think maybe split updates would be wise, but eh, I'm just excited 'cause this is my favourite porn game. I'll check back in a month or two.

To the devs (though doubt they'll see it): Congratulations and hoping the best for you. I know a new kid is exhausting without worrying about disappointing patrons.


...really hope I didn't read wrong and am totally off-base on all this, oh boy I'd look silly.

They did have a baby and also Pistachio underwent a leg surgery that went slightly wrong and had to be repeated. About the update length, he said last week on Discord that
it has more words than the previous update, but that doesn't necessarily mean more content since it has several action events that are more fast paced and I imagine will be played quickly, but are complex to make

Understandable! Thanks for filling me in on more detail!

I work a job where I basically do motion graphics for documentaries, right now, so I know how long things can take to make versus how long to experience. It's brutal. Think hours of work for less than a minute of footage. I can't imagine they won't get more complaints but I appreciate them taking their time and making something they'll be proud of.

Well, a forum is there to discuss things. So if members chime in and say "Hey, I think they could need some help, progress seems to happen slow given the amount of money they get pledged", then that's a legit topic to discuss.

And what I often see here, is that others users who feel like their personal very own project just got attacked jump in, defending the developers in their absence, suggesting that everything they do is perfect - the best it could be - and that there's no room for improvement. According to these posts no dev ever is relaxing on the huge loads of money they make through Patreon each month, and they all strive to end that great time of their life asap by finishing their project.

So this discussion wasn't about if they're doing it "wrong", or if they're secretly evil, or scamming their audience. It was about whether they use the 90k they got in the past 10 months efficiently enough to speed up development, or if they take it to make themselves a good life and just work slow and enjoy the trust and patience from their audience.

If it works for them, it works. People are pledging by free will. I didn't judge that, I never made a statement whether that's ethically correct or not. The only thing I stated is that given they didn't release anything for 90k in the past 10 months, they could certainly benefit from some help to speed up things.

Maybe I or you or another user would also do things slow with this amount of money and enjoy all the free time. In the end, if people are willing to fund it that way, you're lucky.

But people who read this thread are still potential customers / pledgers, so their opinion is valid, even if this is a pirate website. And their concerns are also legit. For some it works this way, for others it's too slow, it's fine to express or discuss that.

Funny and the same time it's the most cases in max VN , but difference is that all dev is not as smart as this dev, he don't use any mean things to audience but some general words can hurt to the troller.. Now come to the work, as we all know that the 2d game usually take more time than 3d, as it's 2d means to be hand drawing first, i don't know what he prefers, and the truth is his artwork is just Awesome, nobody can deny it! But taking so much time and without giving the value of income you are getting is not okay in general ( this applicable for all vn), some people would say it's milking, but in this case i will not, dev is most consistent in devlog and in discord for communication BUT these general "FAN" who don't contribute anything, will come to here to download the game, will defend the dev blindly is called diabolical Bootlicker.... He could hire someone to speed it up, but he doesn't, why should he when he noticed no one is attacking him, not questioning him for his delay, everybody accept the reason for the delay even it sounds silly to a smart people.... At the end of the day I'm not saying, he is not working hard, he is working very hard and making things very transparent, which most dev don't! And I AM excited for the update, i really like his work! But I'm not a bootlicker, i can say dev don't want things go fast, he is comfortable as things going....
