I get what you mean, I personally make use of the cheats to go past the grind for stats or money but can still find some of the content feeling drawn out(E.g Myrtle scene was a bit slow to be honest). 

I'd say that this game is more a management game in the vein of old school visual novels like True Love, where you manage your own time and stats over others or an organization. But also similar to modern variants such as Crush Crush which is also about managing your own time and stats. 

So I'd say if someone reads this and wants the "good stuff", just keep in mind the management side of it. :) It's not for everyone, but when it is I'd say it is really good. But a "launch and fap" game, it is not. 

I recommend you to try this again if you see my point, there are alternatives to this title but not as fleshed out, nor as well drawn. ;) Otherwise, I hope you'll find what you're looking for anyway!

Huh, I've missed this indeed in my post. I've posted twice more after that(but don't know how to link to them) and thought I put that info in there, but obviously I didn't. I shall keep this info in mind if I ever feel the need to comment on this again for any reason. :)

Because I take for granted that I missed the information or did not think about it, and not that Sad Crab changed their deal.

EDIT: @SadCrabCompany
I updated my original post that you have linked with this additional clarifying information. :)

Even though I am aware how this will look and some people will jump on me for this, I just can't help myself..... which one is it? Are you a Patreon member to support the devs, or are you directly paying the devs to work on their game? Because those two arguments can't be in the same slot and still work.

Paying here on Itch is buying the game, being a Patreon is supporting the devs and getting the game. Support. SUPPORT. It is entirely up to you what you do with your subscriptions, obviously, but let's not pretend that the devs works for us. They are providing us something through their own work, and we pay for it if we want, no scamming involved. 

Also, I wish people had better arguments for their issues with the development than "scam", "I pay these people" and "too slow".

EDIT: And like 5 minutes of reading, just here on Itch, will tell you, you don't need to pay a cent for this game. The Public version exists you know, and our own patience(or lack thereof) to wait for each new Public version is our own problem, not the devs.

To fill out the information from my post that Sad Crab linked to, there are B versions that are not the Public version that you can access if you have paid once here on Itch which will have more content than the 0.11A version. 

Before the current Public version, 0.10.7, the Public version was something like 0.9.12. Since you have paid here on Itch once, you had access to all Beta versions, which then was 0.10B up to 0.10.6B. You can and will continue to be able to download those versions.

So to clarify, you pay ONCE for access to whatever is the current A version (which then was 0.10A) which is a one time access to that Alpha version. But it has granted your Itch account access to all BETA(B) versions. Previous, current and future. 

So if you want the 0.11A version you could pay here on Itch again, but it would be a bit of a waste of your money, as you will still get all the B version they release until the next Public version as you have already paid once. If you really want to get your hands on 0.11A I'd recommend becoming a Sad Crab Patreon, the subscription can like most other subscriptions be cancelled whenever you please and you get to keep the 0.11A version if you've already claimed it as a Patreon. 

Another reason I wouldn't recommend you to pay again on Itch is that the 0.11A version will QUICKLY become obsolete. As Sad Crab updates the game with future 0.11BETA versions, the 0.11A version will be the worst option for anyone who has already paid once and terribly outdated.

Edit and TL;DR:
If you paid once it's a bad idea to pay again, the next 0.11B version will contain everything from 0.11A plus more, and you already own access to it when it drops.

By paying for this game on Itch you get the current B(beta) version and all future B versions before they go public. You pay ONCE, on Itch. 

If you become a Patreon member on the Sad_Crab Patreon(monthly payment in support of dev)you also get all the B versions before they go public, but you ALSO get access to the A(alpha) versions that you cannot obtain on Itch. 

The A versions are always subject to change, so that version type is more for those who want to have input/opinions on/about the game and support the dev further.

And lastly, you don't need to pay anything, and still get the Public version. The game is technically free, if you can wait. The majority of money paid to Sad_Crab is in support, and unless that changes in the future then the game is 100% free if you can wait until version 1.0.0.

EDIT 16-05-2024: Worth noting! If you pay an amount, at the point of this edit, that is BELOW $25 (so $24.99 or less) on Itch you get all current and future BETA versions. And if you pay (again at the moment of this edit) an amount that IS or is ABOVE $25, you get all current and future ALPHA and BETA versions. 

And again to re-iterate, this is A ONE TIME PAYMENT ON ITCH.
