A lad a few posts above said he was kicked for asking why there's a minigame as opposed to the update so I'm guessing you can't see any criticism if you ignore it.

I'm guessing the people who's opinion actually matter being referenced is the people with the same opinion as his...
I haven't looked up his comment, but Braindrop mentioned in multiple brain drops, that he would remove any Patron attacking other Patrons, insulting them or the game, and so on. So - this is only a speculation, and BD's current state might have impacted his perception - but maybe the post was written in a way that came on like that?

Of course, and with no visibility of what was said it's impossible to judge but I have seen some Devs on Patreon fall into a "my way or the highway" mentality and that's usually the first sign shits not alright. Kick the haters to the kerb sure, no time for nonsense, but if you stop listening to your fanbase apart from those basically parroting what you want to hear that's the first step in a process which ends with you asking "huh, where did 80% of my subs go?"

Don't worry here you won't be banned like the guy from BD's Patreon if you say anything touchy.
I wish people would just stop using patreon and all the others. I get that they are using their own funds to make these games and that they get rather expensive, but it would be a lot easier to just work on something at your own pace and not have to deal with people feeling like they are owed something. When you start taking in money from other people and start offering additional things...OF COURSE it's going to cause problems.

But really...in the end it's just one person and a lot of people trying to tell him what to do with the idea in his head. Fuck that shit.

Current state? Sorry but there is a limit how many free passes you get because of your state. If you that bad off you seek treatment, and keep away from things that would affect your "state"... Assume something bad was said and give BD a free pass is not quite right imho.

Think most would agree that release today was a major turd sandwich... that reflect the state of the game progress more than any sadly :(

Upstanding citizens like you could stand ready open your wallet and throw thousands of dollars at these creators so they can provide the rest of us free faps right? Without any sort of monetization, there wouldn't be any incentive to make any for you to fap too. They would be better of make crappy mobo games, work a few hours extra at McDonalds or something else.

What I wonder as a layman who has absolutely no idea about the software BD uses:

Wouldn't it have been easier to "hide" the parts of Harper that aren't meant to be seen yet with towels (say, because fresh out of the bathtub/shower), camera angles, and furnishings? Would have had the advantage that you would not have this weird censorship, but for a bit intelligently teased the Harper fans.

I have not watched it so far, am also unsure if I will, because while I find it interesting to see the thoughts and everyday life of a character who is not the MC, but here I can comment on my interest so far only with a "meh". It's not Harper's fault either, I think if it had been Rainn I would feel the same way.

Other than that, mental problems of the sort that have been mentioned are far from uncommon and I guess the former problems she had as a coach didn't help either, and also puts a new perspective on the absence of Natalie's father, I'm unsure right now, but his whereabouts were never mentioned, right?

Other than that, I'm also split on the chronology of this story; yes, Harper had her moments even after she had the backing of our MC where she seemed introverted and tuned out the world around her.

My question here to the people who have been through the story: Do you notice in Harper's text passages that MC also had some positive influence on her, or would it fit more in terms of pacing somewhere between MC's arrival and their moments of bonding? Preferably in spoiler tags so no one is unnecessarily spoiled.

Lol at this point he is doing it for the cash dudes getting thousands each month for a product that has been stagnant for almost a year. So take that white knighting shit somewhere else.

Considering that I haven't paid anything for this game...I'm not really expecting that much. There are so many games that we've all been on the bandwagon for that ended up abandoned. What is one more? But the fact remains...what WAS released WAS awesome. So I'm going to keep hoping that I get more of what I like.

Acting so entitled as so many are on this forum though...is kind of ridiculous. For those that were patrons and feel scammed, they kind of have an excuse for it. But for people that just log into this place and download and cry because they aren't getting what they want? Pfft. There isn't anything respectable about that.

Is this update really only the Harper mini/side story? And is this before or after meeting the MC from the main game?

I'm just curious. I like Harper and will be playing the "minigame", just curious how this fits and what the update is.
