Regarding Future Updates and the Voting System
Friends, I’d like to clarify our future plans and the update format.
As you know, the "Lake Trip" won the previous vote. That content is finished and has been integrated into the main update. Regarding the next bonus event that we will choose via the upcoming vote: it will be released using the same model as the "Photographer" mini-update (the one requested by a VIP patron). This means it will be a fast, standalone update.
I understand that many of you prefer receiving everything in one big package. However, after today, I’ve realized I can no longer spend so much time and energy answering countless identical questions. Despite all the news posts and the changelog built directly into the game, the same questions keep coming.
I believe — and I truly hope — that the standalone update format will eliminate 99% of these issues. While there were still questions during the "Photographer" release, there were far fewer of them, and I didn't feel as exhausted making it. I'm counting on your understanding here.
One last point for those who might dislike the concept of polls or subscriber-exclusive content: I didn't invent this world, its rules, or the way Patreon monetization works. Without this level of interactivity and support, the monetization system simply wouldn't exist.
Thank you for your support.
Approximate Roadmap:
New "Photographer" event (requested by a VIP subscriber).
Bonus event (based on voting results — the vote will take place after the public release).
Main update.
Друзья, хочу прояснить ситуацию с нашими планами.
Как вы помните, по результатам прошлого голосования победила поездка на озеро. Этот контент уже готов и добавлен в основной апдейт. Что касается следующего бонусного события, которое мы выберем в новом голосовании — оно будет выпущено по той же схеме, что и мини-апдейт «Фотограф» (сделанный по заказу VIP-патрона). То есть это будет быстрое, отдельное обновление.
Я понимаю, что многим больше нравится получать всё одним большим набором контента. Однако сегодняшний день показал, что я больше не могу тратить столько времени и нервов на бесконечные однотипные вопросы. Несмотря на все новости и чейджлог, который предусмотрительно вшит прямо в игру, люди продолжают спрашивать одно и то же.
Мне кажется (и я на это очень надеюсь), что формат отдельных апдейтов снимет 99% таких вопросов. С «Фотографом» они тоже были, но их было заметно меньше, и я не так сильно устал, делая его. Надеюсь на ваше понимание.
И ещё один важный момент. Тем, кому, возможно, вообще не нравится тема с опросами и контентом для подписчиков, напомню: этот мир, его правила и вообще систему монетизации Patreon придумал не я. И без интерактива монетизации просто не будет.
Спасибо, что остаетесь со мной!
Примерная дорожная карта:
Новый эвент «Фотограф» (по выбору VIP-подписчика).
Бонусный эвент (по результатам голосования — оно пройдет после публичного релиза).
Основной апдейт.

Хочу, что бы каждый знал мое мнение! Во первых: все те, кто жалуются на нестековки сюжета и событий в игре, на то, что решение Главного персонажа не влияет на ход событий и так далее, мы сами виноваты, если такие моменты есть, объясняю это тем, что мы сами каждый божий день торопили автора с релизом, не давая ему время на тчательную проверку, и автор сам не раз предупреждал, что если вы заметили такие моменты, просто напишите ему в личные сообщения, как говорится «зачем выносить ссору из дома»; Во вторых: автор такой же человек, как и мы, а всем людям свойственно ошибаться, плюс учтите те безссоные ночи за компьютером, поверьте, это очень выматывает, и потерять концентрацию очень легко! Любезно прошу всех тех, кому есть, что сказать написать личные сообщения автору со всей аргументацией, по моментам которые вас как то задели или не устраивают, я сам так делал, и он все фиксирует у себя, поверьте мне на слово! Все будет исправлятся по мере возможности в течении следующих обновлений, если действительно есть такая необходимость! Спасибо за внимание и понимание!
Yes, the Porn Films studio must hire Emma.

I did start from scratch and have to say I love the changes ... all those little things (interactions at work, dreams/nightmares) ... all giving and breathing new life. Not to mention looking amazing ... Speaking of which, the tease art you posted with this ... foreshadowing? I let myself be surprised of things to come I do have a question though. You say that the lake trip is finished and integrated ... yet when I started it it has an option that says "in development" ... which is why I paused ant thought maybe you clarified here(?)
I didn't quite understand about the lake. What is in development? What specifically are you talking about?
You can imagine the enormous amount of work that went into it. It's up to us to follow the explanations and do a little research. The only problem I see is the translation of the chat messages, which is sometimes indecipherable. But the game itself remains exceptional (and the French version is excellent and perfectly translated). So even if there are a few back-and-forths, we're enthusiastic.
The English translation is done partly by native speakers, so it's hard for me to judge its overall quality. If you're referring to other languages, there are likely some issues, as those haven't been proofread yet.

My only issue with this game is that these bonus events do not fit into the timeline. It feels strange to finish updating and then enter Sandbox mode to access the rest of the content. As far as I know, this is the only game that does it like that.
That would have added weeks, at least, to release of this update. And the one thing we all hound him for is whenwhenwhen and nownownow. The one thing that could help him get some sleep would be to ignore Patreon and Discord. But we don't want him to do that either, do we?
A developer always has to balance real progress with the game, and requests / issues brought up by the players. I think your plan is great, and I will continue to support you. I do think your game is very unique in a number of ways (art style, music, relationships, etc), and that it is worth the wait!
At the begining of the game till Paris event,i tough that this game is something different from other games ,like story and plot. But after this update and after side quests i thing that this would become like 90 % of the other games,like..."lets see how MC would fuck everything around with puls",while saying how deeply and endlessly in love with her husband.
With all due respect, of course, I agree and disagree. We must remember that, first, it's a pornographic game. Second, could it become generic like so many others? Yes, it could! But what differentiates it from the others? The narrative allows us to follow the path we want, and not only with the protagonist Emma, but also with her husband. Have you ever tried to follow the paths of 100% fidelity?
Thank you for VIP subscriber
Thank you for your great Work !
What you wrote sounds perfectly fine for me. I think i already wrote it before: In the end its your game, the story you want to tell, and as long as you are comfortable with the way to implement it, it is fine for me as well. You are doing a great job so far and i am convinced that you will do so in the future as well.
thank you for all you do.
Between Patreon and Discord you must spend a huge amount of your time tending to players. That is one of the things that makes you stand out among other devs. It also might make you tend to be oiling squeaky wheels most of the time. You tend to not hear from the happy wheels. There are probably two groups here. Those who care for the story, and those who want to see as much promiscuity as you can manage. Harassment on the bus, basketball kids, etc. I would vote for none of those. I want to see the story. I have seen vote counts get over 700 in polling. By far, the majority of those will be your happy wheels. Satisfying them is where the answer to your financial needs point, I think.
