Ace gone, Rework old episodes...this game had a great run, time to put this to rest.
Godspeed, Dev.

I agree with those that think 2 months is very optimistic for
However, I also agree with getting the game on Steam sooner than later as a pure business move. For developers with the goal of making money, I just don't understand why they plod along with the Patreon nonsense after they've got their game established, most even lowering their ROI even further by wasting time on special benefits like custom renders and crap for a handful higher-tier patrons.
Anyway, if the game was in danger of being delayed or abandoned due to money and/or burnout, this move seems like a good way to get it back on track, even if it takes 3 or 4 months instead of just 2.
plus the overhead of creating a Steam-specific release and getting it setup on Steam.

I don't understand why the sudden announcement when we thought episode 24 was about to be released,? So episode 24 will have to wait a few more months? This means that it is impossible to finish episode 25 this year, and I think the real reason for this decision is to consider that finishing and then doing a remake could potentially result in less revenue for patreon, so continue to delay finishing work to launch a remake and let patreon continue to earn steady revenue for more than a year
But, gentlemen, what makes people pessimistic is that most remakes will result in the game going into milking and slowly being abandoned after a year or two of no more patrons, which is a very disappointing decision anyway!

I support whatever the dev feels is best to make this a sustainable endeavor not only for WTHI but also future games. He deserves fair compensation for his work, and if Steam is the best platform then 100% go for it!
Except if I cannot get Jenna and Katie in an absolutely filthy incestuous threesome. Then, it's full-on torches and pitchforks.

Thankfully, the people that might actually be affected by milking will already know that this dev pauses patreon when there's no progress being made on the game.

I am rather an optimistic person than pessimistic...which of course isnt always a good thing hehe
Like all of you i want to play ep 24 and 25 asap but since most of us dont support the dev moneywise, we shouldnt complain too much...we had an amazing ride with this game so far.
Few of you mentioned that 2 months arent enough for a rework and i agree...i guess it could eat up up to six months imo since there is no guarantee that everything will be silkysmooth.
Still, its worth the wait and i have faith in CG.
That said, we can play some other amazing games while we have an eye on any news regarding WTHI.

I don't think we will have: Reworked episodes 1-10, steam release and episode 24 by mid may. That's next to impossible.
Mid-August for ep.24 seems more realistic.
On the other hand: I got the game here for free, and while I am sad I have to wait ~6 more months for the next chapter, it REALLY makes financial sense from what the developer is saying. Yes, steam will bring much higher revenue than patreon alone.
That.

Work on episode 24 is postponed by 2 months, not release. Yes, august seems realistic.

Probably because of the remake but it's misleading, it's even an error imo. Other games being reworked don't get that tag...
Not competely sure, but imo an onhold tag can actually only be requested from a developer to be added to the OP. So maybe cheeky has done that here.Probably because of the remake but it's misleading, it's even an error imo. Other games being reworked don't get that tag...
