My point is vn supposed to take time IF YOU'RE STILL SOLO OR MAKE DEVELOPMENT BY YOURSELF. Which is understandable.
And tbh, nowadays lot of game about to change engine, ui and even platform. So i doubt anyone would get fire up by having pp waiting for free vn which need patreon money and less than usual job.
I am waiting for free vn too, anything is free. However, i do not play free release and pressure about deadline.
I mean lust shard was year to itch but in backyard on patreon is different.
Free is good decision yet there's cons for author too.
Anyone remember "horny chronicles"? Yes that's html vn game. Author disappeared even he updated regularly.
Lgbt and woke drama with velma and hogwarts is really boiling, if author get caught up by it. I wouldn't surprise why there's problems.
if anyone itching for update...
Take tamer as examples.
And these list
- layer of stardust
- lust shard
- spirit interactive (which said deadline ahead but it's far so i think it count)
- infinite star (have devlog but yeah, it's take time to release)
