Jesus man, does anyone actually finish games anymore.

What are they searching for, exactly? 50 year old dude with no job thinks he can criticize people for not wasting time searching through every page of a thread or figuring out what to search with zero context. Yikes. Good lord, there isn't even 6 hours between any of your posts. I feel bad for your mom, having to take care of her 50 year old son.

Why couldn't the dev simply finish the game before putting it onto Steam? A complete product straight onto Steam, or is the point that he plans to cash in from each season separately and if he completed it beforehand, then the potential buyers might be rather reluctant to invest if they knew that they'd need to buy 5-6 separate seasons for the full experience?
This game wasn't bad and had quite a few unique strengths imho, the way how the scenes played out was pretty well done and the pacing of the scenes was great as well (in combination with the models it was a pretty great 8/10 experience), but as always a good product has to be milked and the income has to be maximized, even if the dev hasn't had a good work ethic for the last few years (1 update per year isn't really sufficient, especially if you get paid enough money to do it full time) he wants to get paid like a CEO, and I guess i cannot blame him at this point, cuz if you hit it off on Steam/GOG it might get you far more money then you'd ever be able to dream of on Patreon...
But I still think that the dev either should've first completed the game, or worked on an update while also reworking scenes on the side. Right now he's 100% going in on the milking which might turn off anyone on f95 who might have considered supporting them on Steam/GOG.

The Devs have a history of stopping payment when not meeting deadlines. Not sure what they do now since 24 came out but, unless you have facts to back this up, I recommend you vote with your feet and leave.

There's one more update left, possibly two. Once the redo of the few early eps and finishes the game, he'll be puttin it on Steam. At least that's how I understood it when CheekyGimp talked about it.

I'd rather the developers release a finished version of episode 25 soon than a remake, I've been waiting for years for this and I don't want to have to wait a few more years for the finale

Was that plan passed down from great-grandpa Loli to grandpa Loli to dad Loli to son Loli? You sound so proud of yourself.
I did it the wrong way I worked for 43 years. Man, I can't look at myself in the mirror now.
I'm going to guess that CheekyGimp is doing what he thinks is best for his future earnings.
It's not like he feels any responsibility to the whining members here. Just a guess.

People here are very whiny, I'm sure those who are complaining are not supporters, DEV is doing this because he's going to leave his job, just stay in the game
Are you really acting like $4,300 a month is some kind of gravy train? It's not. After Patreon's cut and taxes they would have nowhere near $4,300 left per month, probably significantly less than $3,000. The fact that $4,300 is in the top 1% just goes to show how unhealthy an industry patreon development actually is.

Look at yourself and affirm: unlike that other guy, you are not a waste of skin and air.Was that plan passed down from great-grandpa Loli to grandpa Loli to dad Loli to son Loli? You sound so proud of yourself.

The first chapters really needed a rework, especially for a Steam release. Not to sound rude, but the renders were awfully bad. The lighting and skins were all over the place, miles away from the quality they are nowadays. I will wait for them to finish season 1 to replay tho.

here is my unofficial Android port of Where The Heart S1-Beta.
from now on my Android ports of Ren'Py games have a 2nd, persistent save location like Windows. if you uninstall an app, the save files and persistent data remain intact.
therefore the app needs the permission to access the public external storage (or a new one on Android 11+), because it has to read and write outside its own external storage directories.
you have to grant the permission or the app is shut down.
have fun and please report problems (you can reach me

).Strange, seems the F95 mods removed it from the latest updates again. Because of the beta release?

My assumption is that Patreon will take around 30% and then the remaining is split for the team as he is not a lone dev. So it's most likely nowhere near $4300/month for Cheeky himself. But as I mentioned a year ago, the issue is that it became below minimum wage "per hour" in which the amount of hours worked is decided by himself. So he could simply reduce the amount of hours worked per month if he wanted to increase the "per hour" wage. Ultimately, the monthly income stays the same.
My biggest disappointment is the timing of it. We all know that the game was very close to the end. I thought Cheeky would've owed it to his patrons of 4-5 years to first finish the game before moving to Steam project (whether it's WTHI or a new game). But I guess the lure of Steam money is too strong. Not blaming him for chasing the money, I can't remember what porn game it was I saw on Steam that celebrated "1 million copy" sold. No idea whether that's a lie from that dev or not, but if a game really can sell 1 million copy on Steam for like $10-$15 price, that's significantly more money than what one get from Patreon.
