Its amazing to me how many projects like this are just kinda left in the wind for the creator to get to "when they feel like it." I have worked on several adult VNs and when it comes to the gay/furry/bara/BL creators, they are always the hardest to get things done with. They start super pumped, then lose interest and then almost always blame it on mental or physical health. I would say about 60 percent of the "straight" VNs get done while the LGBT stuff is MAYBE around 10 to 15 percent. it sucks cuz projects like this I REALLY like.
OMG I KNOW...I'm no programmer or whatever, but as an avid reader of these types of visual novels, it really is shocking how this is like the new norm for these. It's kinda sad because these VN are the only type that actually feel like something and have a decent story. I remember being horribly down bad during this drought of content a few months back and played some human gay bara stuff and holy cow I've never felt like imploding on the spot so much before. No story, just sex. Like I get that most of the gay furry VNs have that, but most of the ones I really enjoy don't focus on that content, and they'll be some of the best VNs I've ever played. And some of the ones I get really invested in later either develop so slowly that I end up forgetting about it, or they say "delayed" and it lasts for like MONTHS on end. This might fall on deaf ears since I don't have your very hands on experience with actual people working on these projects, but I really do agree on this because it's kinda sad to see that furry VN content I really look forward to is being cut short.
Have you played Exiles? I know what you mean when it comes to bara games without the furry tag. However, Exiles is nothing like them, so stick with it and you will be rewarded with a deep story as well as a manly gladiator to keep you company, unless you decide to go for another route. Exiles is one of the few lgbt games comparable with FVNs story wise. >>>f95zone.to/Patreon Some of the 3D characters don't look great in my opinion, but not all. If you watched Spartacus (series) then you roughly know what to expect.
Just for the sake of clearance, I did not blame the slow production on my 'mental' or 'physical' health, I don't think I have said that. I simply just don't have as much time, and when I do have some spare time, I use it to spend time and maintain relationships with my friends and family. I know that you probably mean well, but remember that creators are individuals too with wants. And frankly, sometimes I don't want to spend all my time working in my spare time and miss things when I already do that during my working hours. I already get burnt out writing essays and papers for school work.
This is, let me re-iterate, a hobby passion project that I am doing solo with the occasional inputs here and there from peers. It is free and likely will continue to be. Sure, I have a Patreon but they are meant to be for people who would like to support me and I greatly appreciate those who do. My Patreon does not charge up-front, so anyone can literally just pledge and unpledged in a day just to have full free reign over all my Patreon posts without having to pay a dime.
This isn't a business. I'm not selling you goods. You are free to download and play or ignore it.
Don't get me wrong though, I still try to keep creating and giving back to my fans. I just thought that I needed to stress this because it's gotten a little much. I accept criticism and would listen to it. But this isn't constructive.
Cheers and thanks again for the support,
