from the dip i saw was like 3,500ish to 3,051 to then 3,451 that would be a crazy flux of CC's not going through or resubbing cause it had dropped before the release so it looked like people were just dropping there sub's which looked a more possible due to the amount of negative bs that is been going on in this thread
You obviously have no idea how this thing works.
10% down at the beginning of the month and after that up is pretty damn normal.For every dev.
500 patrons sounds like a lot,but it's not really.After all we are not talking about a dev with a total of 1000 patrons.

I know I don't understand how it works. Is about 20 percent churn normal? Also, this number is patrons not dollars right?

I guess BD went dark again. I wonder how he sees this play out with his disappearing and all?

Yah, just compare it yourself to other projects.
And I assume he see himself earning 17k$ a month with no deadlines or consequences to delays, also zero obligations to actually finish the project.
I'd say 'gotta love Patreon' but people keep supporting so I guess it's fine? I'm just glad I stopped a long while ago.

See you are right i dont know how this works. since im not a numbers guy so ya 500 does look like alot even if its out of 3k.
My main point was either people got fed up and if people ran back once something dropped.. It wasn't about if CCs got canceled or if people resubbed more like if people got tired or if people have stockholm and enjoying running back..
That was my point..

Actually it is exactly what you don't believe.
For people really stoping to be patrons you should not looking at the beginning of the month.
You can check any other of the famous devs.
DPC and NLT,for example,are usually "losing" 2000 patrons at the start of each month."Losing".

This is a great game I am playing on Android the only problem I have is that it keeps shutting down when you are in the back of the car when at the pool party

BD is hard at work thinking about how to communicate that this game has actually became a burden for him because he has a family to take care of, but also would like you to remain patrons so you... erm i mean he, can provide for his family :unsure:
You forgot the part where he's taking a break because people are mean so he's probably sharing his child's binky

Yall need to calm down. So many complaints against the dev and you are all here downloading it for free.
Personally not a fan of 3dgc VN's, but I have to hand it to this guy that he achieves something different than the standard shovelware. Sometimes dev cycles get held up by 3rd parties. For example, sometimes i have to wait to release an update because my artist cant make a timeline. Its just part of being a smalltime developer.

So you're saying that braindrop hired someone to help him over a year ago and he's been waiting on this guy to do his part of the work ever since then? You must know something that nobody else knows I guess.

BD works alone. He certainly makes enough money to hire out for help. However he doesn't want to have monitor other peoples work or take away his time from working on the game. He wanted to do it alone. If I'm remember what he said when this was brought up a number of times. Of course it doesn't seem like he really wants to work on the game anymore, so he should probably look into it.

Some delays? :LOL: A year with only the DITLO (a terrible idea) and a 300 render update when there are supposedly more than 2000 renders finished and have been for awhile. Well if we are to take the "fucking awesome" BD at his word. Must be an interesting world you live in where no one is ever held accountable. I don't imagine much gets done though.

Most of the people on here complaining aren't the trolls that complain over anything, but fans of the game who have gotten tired of hearing all the excuses. The last one being completely ridiculous. He is feeling sensitive and couldn't handle it if the big update got bad reviews. That's a child's mentality. Anyone over the age of twelve should've realized by now that no matter what you do you can't please everyone.

I really like this game and have given BD plenty of credit in the past for pausing pledges and being upfront with his supporters, but that's just not the case anymore. Now it just seems like a dev who has gotten tired of working on his game, but doesn't want to give up the money. He doesn't even keep up with the mind drops anymore.

He said back at the end of May that he was breaking it up into chunks and wanted everything out by early August. Well it's mid July and we've only seen 300 renders. Anyone still think that's a possibility? I hope like mostly everyone else that he gets his shit together and gets the game up and rolling again, but to be optimistic about it at this point is crazy.
