Honestly I'm really impressed that you are managing to keep working on the game even though your job takes up so much of your time. Really you have my respect with how much dedication u have for this game. Also I'm glad u aren't abandoning this game or trying to scam your patreons like the developers of Agent 17 so Hexatail and his team.

Thank you very much! I give my best to manage a somewhat decent development and work cycle. It's been quite more busy at work currently though, which has me a bit tired after work as well. I was about to ask what the scam is about, but I might have figured it out as I read "about 4 hours of content". Which, if I didn't reach yet, I'll definitely reach with 0.3. But 3k paid patreons... they're doing something right, I can just dream of 10% of that number :D
I mean, I have been following Agent 17 for a while and I REALLY like the game. It's good, it's fun and the scenes are pretty good. But it's almost been a year since the last update AND back in 2024 quarter 1 they said the next update was supposed to come out in 3 weeks. Then it was silent for 2 months or something and they released Update 0.24 part 1 if I remember correctly. That was 6 months ago roughly. And nothing since then. They are just looking for more "sponsors" because apparently 15k a month minimum is not enough money to develop that game, it's minimum 5 bucks to support on patreon right? That would mean they make around 15k a month with 3000 patreons. So ye... The comments under their game are still going wild and have been going wild for the past 3 or 4 months. But the patreons don't seem to care that they are getting scammed apparently.
Yeah, I get what you saying and it's definitely not wrong, I've played AVNs before as well. I don't follow Agent 17, nor his game, so I can't speak for it, but some other games are indeed just 'cash grabs'. And all this while other honest devs struggle to get any financial support. Life isn't fair, unfortunately. :D
