They were talking about the next update after the one currently in progress. 0.8 will be focused on Holly
Ah sorry, wasn't aware of that..the update after this update is to far in the future for me...a lot will happen until then

patreon gets a cut. goobermint gets a cut. nobody here will ever know what they're really making but it's nowhere near 7k USD. Reminder that Patreon is a US based company so at some point USD will be involved in the finances.
"nowhere near" is a huge exaggeration though. you make it sound like half their money disappears. there are some transparent creators who post their financials and you lose around 20% after taxes, commission, currency conversions, and transaction fees. so at $7,500 per month they're getting around $6,000.

They're in Europe. Taxes etc. are more than 20% around here.

When 'A mother's love' puts out more updates... that should tell you there's a problem.
I mean it's pretty much always been about a year in between updates, since patreon asked for big updates instead of small periodic updates, which is honestly pretty normal for a lot of other games on this site. Then they had a kid halfway through the update which made it take twice as long. The wait is annoying, but the good news is they end up doing most of that characters planned content per update. I'm more annoyed at the fact the main quest keeps losing the polls.

Finished this game yersterday, I was kind of surprised how fast I got the message that I can't continue a romance with a character because art is not available yet for a 4 years old game. 1 scene with Holly, Celestina, Maple? 2 scenes only with Princess Serena? Only Myrtle, Rose, Lana have a few scenes... Also wish Rose blowjob was on her human form and not her Demon form. Anyway cool game overall but the content is very lacking imo and at this rate Princes Serena will get pregnant in 2032.
Mrytle was when they started doing the long updates because their patrons asked for it. Now they do one big update mostly focus on one girl, but finishes that girl's route and most of their content. Holly is the going to be the update after this one,

Don't forget the other guy's two trips to the hospital as well. Been a rough couple of years.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I'm no Ren'Py expert, but I would assume it's a permission issue. Make sure your current user has full access to your game's directory, and also to %APPDATA%\RenPy -- but to this one you always should full access to, unless you've changed it.

I just hope no one lets you do their taxes. $7,500 a month falls under the 22% tax bracket in the US.
So if they lived in the US that would be $1650 a month in taxes, an 8% Patreon fee of $600 a month and transaction fees would average around $225 a month that leaves around $5025, that's if they live in the US but they live in Spain and their taxes are higher although not by much it would leave them with $4988 or 4619.21€.
