If there is a Vietnamese version, I believe that not only me but also many Vietnamese people are willing to support you.

nếu có bản tiếng việt nam , tôi tin rằng không chỉ tôi mà còn rất nhiều người việt nam sẵn sàng ủng hộ bạn

Where is the discord

Before anything else, I want to mention that I'm using a translator since I'm not fluent in English. So, it's possible that some words or phrases might not make complete sense. I've been following this visual novel for such a long time—probably more than two years—and I've been so intrigued by the story that I stopped caring about the sexual content. I just wanted to see what new mysteries the game would reveal with each update. And of course, I understand how difficult it must be for an indie developer to handle so much of the work alone. Keeping up with a monthly update schedule—or even longer—without losing the trust of your supporters must be really tough. That said, as I mentioned before, I don't mind whether there's sexual content or not, because what truly matters to me in this game is the story. I know some supporters might disagree with me on that. Nonetheless, I'm considering supporting you, but of course, that depends on whether the updates don’t take too long. Also, I wish there was a cheaper option because, in my country, the current price is still quite expensive. I’d even subscribe monthly if it were more affordable or if there were a lower-tier option. For example, another game I follow, Goddesses' Whim by NCrow, offers a much cheaper way to support the project. Additionally, I really wish there was a Brazilian Portuguese translation (or even European Portuguese, since it's still understandable). I appreciate your hard work and hope you’re able to finish this game! (Also, please give Asuka some character development! I like her, but her personality frustrates me! I really want to see her grow and mature.)

Please add time travel... By doing that we will get young Helen, keiko sensei etc hot ladies scenes and it makes more thrill and fun to the game

My English is not very good, so I was a little confused about some parts of the game. If the game was translated into Thai, it would help a lot and attract more people to play because both the characters and the story are interesting. The only problem is the language barrier.

Honestly i was a really huge fan of the story and how you don't left out any characters and actually give them time to shine. But the top comment from @Jeycii is right, the frequency of update is really terrible. Me and my friends used to always look out for a new update even thinking of supporting you because how much we like the game and it's story, but as time went on we can see and feel how the update become LAZY. each update keep getting longer and longer to take, despite the update only have content someone can read in an hour. I even stopped playing since the last update of two years ago, because i lost the passion i have for this game story. Im sorry but it's the truth. You either change the way you operate or this game won't reach its potential and everyone will eventually just forget about it.

I'm Chinese, and as far as I know, you have many fans in China, but they don't necessarily know you, they just like your work. They play the machine-translated version, so just translating the game into Chinese won't bring you significant benefits, the most fundamental reason is that we don't have a driver to support you, patreon is not difficult for us to access (in fact, VPNs are as common as WiFi, for your potential audience) but usually we don't have PayPal payment methods, and it is troublesome to create PayPal specifically to support you. And people's willingness to pay is not high, because it will not make them feel that I have obtained this thing, in the comment area I saw a feasible way - steam, I don't know exactly how to operate, but I know that this is the most important platform that Chinese are willing to pay for. In addition, if you can use WeChat Pay or Alipay payment channels, believe me you don't need a monthly membership fee of 3 dollars, you only need to display a 6 yuan buy me a coffee (about 1 dollar) on your game to make you gain a lot, Chinese is not stingy with paying for what you like, especially things in the two-dimensional field (I think many people may have misunderstandings, but you think about Genshin Impact...... They're not playing your game for free, it's just that the money is earned by the person who released the machine-translated version. But the most troublesome part of this plan is that you need a Chinese agent, which is not easy for foreigners. All in all, for potential Chinese users, simply adding a Chinese translation will not help you, the most important thing is to give them a simple way to support you. (The above content is from machine translation)

The reason why a lot of patrons stop supporting because of the lack of update and consistency.

I used to support you for many months, but the low frequency of your updates and seeing nearly no relevant progression on the story or girls made me lose interest in the game. Im sure that many others feel the same way and only stay as free members, because they still like the game and want to see if this ever finishes. You used to be very big, because you were one of the very early ones with great content, but you took too much time to progress your game and now there are many other devs with much more frequent and more enjoyable content than Waifu Academy. Its not the "free membership" thats biting you down, its that you lost your trust on your community. Its as simple as that. The only reason why "free memberships" exist, is so that we dont forget about you devs, when we decide not to support you anymore. You can still decide for yourself if your post is for free or paid members only, so its laughable that you think that free members are actually gaining anything from this tier... I used to support you for 1-2 years something so im really sorry to tell you that, that you simply lost the trust of your community the way you are operating. If you dont change yourself, we will just go away also. Sorry man...

At first I was a free subscriber, but then in honor of the developers' support I bought a Funder subscription to the best of my financial capabilities. I still want to see the full finished version of the game.

Your story is captivating, but not localizing it will lose a lot of potential enjoyment. If you want more support, why not release it on Steam? Simultaneously entering the Steam China region and using an adult content patch to circumvent censorship, I guarantee many people would buy it.

I Will join,must joint to discord first

First of all, I love your work, the designs, and the story. Now regarding what I think about paying the monthly fee. 1. Obviously the language, despite knowing a little English, it becomes very tedious to read hours of content in another language that you do not master. 2. The frequency of updates, really to feel that the payment is worth it, it would feel good to have a monthly or bi-monthly update but with a monthly statement of how everything is going. I really don't think people will be bothered with a small half hour update, it's better than waiting half a year for 4 hours 3. The relationship story and sex scenes. I understand that as a developer you try to make the story as satisfying as possible, but as consumers of this type of games we are obviously interested in sex scenes, I think that finding a stability between these two or a repeatable one that doesn't go with the thread of the story would be good, Waiting half a year for 4 hours of reading and 1 or 2 scenes that are actually worthwhile also gets tiresome. Thanks again for this great game, and we'll see what you decide to do so many of us decide to pay you to continue developing this great work.

don't mind if it's two months and the updates are a bit shorter but as long as the content is published more consistently that's fine. this game has been has had a place in my heart for years and i really want to see it through to completion

How many scenes we will get on this update?

To tell you a secret, players will judge whether you're updating more or less by the number of galleries, and they won't mind saying your game can be played for 60 hours. Like buying coffee, the coffee itself is bitter, and they don't mean anything about it. It doesn't matter what portion you give. Two years ago CG Gallery 6.After two years, one more was added. So if you join the NTR branch, you can change from one CG to two CG. So I'm saying that you update your CG once a year is too small. Some games are updated once every 6 months and include 4 CGs. So you want to increase the number of CGs, either by adding branches or by updating more sex scenes.

I'm not going to pay 8 months just to get 2 hours of content.

Otra obsion sería dar cupones o descuentos aparte de los que ya aya pero solo para los que compren el de un año así más jente compraría o pagaría alguna de las obsiones

Hi, how can i add to your discord. It's a better way to communicate. You're too slow to respond to messages here.

We need Chinese.

People are really strange... the "free membership" is functionally the same as the previous "follow" option... I had been pledging earlier until I thought had paid a reasonable amount (achieving the loyalty package). I'm not so much into that subscription things... I prefer to pay a one time payment. But I definitely don't want this project to cancel before the conclusion of the story! So, chipped in a few coins again to keep you going! And I can see that a subscription is more easily for a developer to plan his budget on the mid term.

My Country doller is kind of locked. Can't indose doller but when i get a chance i will definitely support this game. My fav game. I like mc sister a lot.

max update wait time would be around a month or bi weekly time frame to make things at least abit easier for us to stay around at least lol would be bad if we dont hear from you in a year which makes us unsub for obvious reasons

1. Have a consistent update date, no matter if it's every month or every 3 o 6, but has to be a concrete date. (E.g at the end of every 4 month) 2. Rework sucks, you can't make a entire update about reworking things, at most reworks should represent 20% of update content 3. People want to see big number, 0.12 version looking a very small number, if your update takes 4 month you should increase the number 0.10 for every version. 4. ADD a ROADMAP then we can know what you should expect or not for x time. 5. Sell you product better. Players don't feel the story is progressing. Either you work harder, and faster or find a way to show us all the work you are doing.

Man, you are making 2 updates/year.. 3 at most. Lets be honest,its not worth it.. make an update at least once per 2 months and you get me to pledge

Been paying 15$ a month starting December 2020 feel as if I’ve given you financial support for quite some time. And I somewhat agree with a lot of the people I can only understand that it’s difficult to produce a game however small updates every month or so would make me feel a lot better about the amount of money I’ve given, that’s just my opinion doesn’t mean it’s correct. Or maybe more poster per month idk. Just keep doing your thing I guess.

I would support financially if PT-BR translation was added.

In addition to wanting to support the game, I think the number one thing to keep people pledging is 1) frequent releases so that people feel like they're getting something for their money every month 2) a benefit that can't be acquired outside of patreon. It may not be suitable for this game, but polls that determine characteristics of a new character, or which character will get their story first, etc. A vote can't be pirated, so passionate people will pay for it.

Should be update more then, first time play this game was 3 or 4 years ago, only update like a week in game, I'm really wanna know why you work so slow.

Kind of wish this game was wrap up by now. Been years since you first started. No offense but it's hard to keep supporting. Seems to have endless updates but no projected end date insight. I rather have a finish game that gains extra content than an incomplete one. If you have a plan date I'll be happy to support again.

What if I sponsor the highest level every month? Can NTR be added?

Yo intente comprar lo de un año de patron pero no entendí bien como poder pagar así que mejor lo deje así seri bueno una publicación fija que diga como pagar aquí esque de verdad Ami me gusta el contenido y como se ve todo pero acaso ay un método de comunicación aparte de aquí?

I have and continue to be a paid supporter. You make a product I like so I pay you for it.

Greetings, Kinda broke right now, but also, I'd like more updates. (And when I can, I intend to pitch in : I like your work.) I've endorsed a few Patreons/games before for some 3/4/5$ per month, and these took over a year and more to make, ending up with paying 72-120$ a game (about 108-180$ in my country's $). Yes, I like endorsing Creators and their work, but it's still quite a cost for what I/we get in the end (no offence).

Just demonstrate the updates will be constant and as promised, without much delays and no updates for weeks, then I'll more than gladly pledge even more than 3€.

Generally I'm new one and joined a few months ago but.. Just subbed for a year since you have increased your team and I like that we will recieve more content ❤️

I don't use this software very often, but my friends and I are happy to sponsor you, but this software doesn't have the payment method in China. I hate the trouble. Can you add WeChat payment or Alipay? After all, your game has been with us for a long time. I remember that when I first played it, your works were updated quickly and the quality was high. We all liked it, but then there was no news. I thought it had stopped worse.

I don't understand what is happening. I am at $3 tier and it is enough for me. You want $6 instead of $3? And why wouldn't you translate in romanian, because there are some romanian things in the game already.

快快更新

I really think this game would benefit from a Discord and/ or itch.io page. Going back on the support thing, I can't support as of right now because my income is really not stable. (Im a French translator and its kinda hard to find work.) That said, ill be willing to Translate your game in French.

I thought this game was abandoned

I used to support you for months with 3$, but frequency and duration of updates became worse. If you can improve this I could subscribe you again.

I'm a bit worried about committing to any subs (Patron or otherwise), because my financial situation has been unstable for months now. It's not looking to get any better anytime soon, so I'll have to wait a bit. With that said, I appreciate this update. This kind of information is useful as a supporter. Now I'll keep this in mind whenever things pick up. Thanks for the content. Best of luck with everything going forward. 👍

Are the VIP slots always limited? I'd like to upgrade but you're out of stock

I didn't even know you guys were still working on the game tbh. Glad you're still here though

more pledge will come with more frequent updates

Also subbed for awhile but switched to free tier because i also prioritize creators that update more often. A good timeframe i like is every 3 weeks there is an update or so but i also understand there is a lot of work. This game is top tier in my opinion though

honestly been waiting for waifu hunter for years, long time fan just kills the vibe on waiting for the #1 game at the time

I choose other ... I would support if we have a fixed time of update release like 2months. I know the updates might get delayed sometimes but atleast we know that we will get to play every 2months

I chose Other. I supported for quite a while but stopped and switched to the free tier because I was fed up with the inconsistent release times, lack of clear communication, and how it feels like this game is just being dragged on and is never going to actually get finished. If you can fix that, then you might start earning people's trust back.

I can even flex to $10 if you update it weekly

Hello... In my opinion I am from the free group, I would like to support but I still do not know by what means I can pay since I do not have here in my country an account to save money and to do it they ask me too many requirements, that is why I can't but as soon as I can fix that I can support creators like this and others I just wait for the day that I am enabled

I can support on steam, but I haven't bought anything on patreon，And there is no Chinese version available

I am currently supporting sevaral creators and need to prioritize within my budget. Currently I have selected to support other game creators over you. This is mainly due to consitency and timeframes of updates, size of updates as well as content of updates (ie fit of kinks and fetishes for me).

i am hesitant to leave the free club since the game updates needs extremly long & tends to feel very small considering the time. i am still fencesitting (more regular updates on patreon & regular packs would make it feel a lot better).

I'm a patron member since 2019 and you still have my support.

A mix of I subbed for quite awhile so feel I did my share and running short on cash, sadly college isn't cheap and the job market sucks for new programmers right now. Hopefully I can go back to supporting in the future.

I would honestly love to subscribe but I current am a guy who lives on my parents money and when that changes I will subscribe to you and you will be the first I am currently thinking to join but Idk if I would continuously subscribe when I get a my money I will definitely do subscribe I am a part of world where working isn't easy thanks for the work it's a piece of art

Really wanted to try your game but noticed there's no Chinese language option.

You came up on my recommendations and I usually follow to see what type of game it is and how are the visuals, story, elements, mechanics, etc. You don't pop up much so I'm guessing you're not one to put out posts or updates frequently so you've been slipping under my radar.

I'm from India and 3$ is a large amount in Indian rupees, and I'm currently not working but I'll support you for sure when I'll be graduated . Thanks for the great game : )

So ive subbed £3 to help support. Please show me my trust has been well placed this time around.

Man, I'd support your content without a second thought if I could. But conversion rates in my country are literally the devil lol. That 3 dollars would end up taking away half of a week's groceries (believe it or not).

I'm a 2021 Funder Member. I've seen your efforts and the struggles you've had. I'll continue to support you.

Deberías hacer una forma de paga como las tienen los juegos f2play ya que ellos convierten la moneda automáticamente como los pagos de dragón ball Legends

Soy de bolivia y quisiera saber cómo apoyar a este proyecto de manera segura no uso pay pal ya que así hackearon a un amigo

I love your game but for me I'm in a serious financial hardship so all the games I play are only supported with free accounts if they even offer them or just followed sorry I can't do more

Agree with juice. Update frequency makes a huge difference. I only have so much money to spend to support creators and if they don’t produce regular updates I can’t justify supporting them.

Your lowest tier is $4.50 in the US. I’m sure if you had a lower tier of say $2-$3 here you would get more supporters. I would think any money is better than $0.

LOL, had to go back to an old post from Oct 2021 to see what Waifu game this was about.

£3 is not alot to ask and if you got updates down to 2 months as youve mentioned above ide go back to supporting you again in an instant and it would be higher than £3. Ive been with you since the start and update time has varied massively as well as update size which is a problem. So its hard to justify the spend when theres other games of similar quality being regular with less time. I saw in another comment that your almost down to a release per quarter but yopu need the support for it. I think your going to have to earn players trust before you get the support for it unfortunatly. Its the case with me but prove it and youll definatly have it.

hi ,Personally, I am in the "free" zone because your page was recommended to me by other game publishers, but the idea of ​​supporting you does not come to me until I know what you are making... few visuals available for the free zone and no idea of ​​the type of game it is (graphic novel, 3D sandbox...?, and I also deduce from this that you do not have a French translation either, which always puts me off before investing... (which is not irremediable depending on the work done, many of my games are not translated)

i know i had problems with using my bank card before not sure if it was this game or a diffrent one but the creator was from ireland and my bank wont allow payment to ireland and because of this i had to use a friends cashapp card to get it

I'd like to support you. I really appreciate your work, but unfortunately, my country doesn't accept PayPal payments. I'm still figuring out how to pay by credit card. I understand people's opinions about how long each update takes, but I also understand your desire to provide quality content and not be just another one of the crowd with a tacky, unfinished story.

I apologize in advance for my English (I speak Spanish, haha). The truth is that the game is amazing, but at the moment I can't support it. I’ve seen comments saying that the problem is the lack of posts, which I understand, but I don't see it as an issue since I really want to support the game for how incredible it is. But anyway, as I said, I can't at the moment, but as soon as I can, I would like to support this game properly because it totally deserves it. Thank you very much for all the effort from the creator and their team for providing us with great quality in every update :3

I am one of those people who find the long updates. However, I understand very well why. The work done is really very good and of quality. I think that even minimal update every 3 months, for example, would motivate more people. After I want the quality to remain the same. Better that it is long, but good, that fast and regular, but bad. In any case, good luck and continue like that :) (I'm not English so my translation may not be perfect.)

The problem I have with the model is I have been burned in the past by subscribing to other creators' Patreon. They will milk their subscribers while putting out minimal content and big promises. However, I believe these content creators deserve to be paid for their content. So, I will happily pay for every update, but I hesitate to subscribe. Your game is phenomenal, so I will continue to support and play. Here's my question: if I choose to pay only when there is an update, what is the recommended amount to keep Irphaeus in the black and continuing to create this wonderful product?

I would subscribe if game update is a lot more frequent.

I straight up just don't like patreon for anything other than news. I have supported other games for a single month when a new update came out, but ideally I'd prefer to buy the game on steam or gog upon full release.

I just buy things that are done, preferrably from Itch or Steam, but can buy from other stores or from patreon. I'm mostly here to see how things are going. If I am to buy something that is not done, then I still only want to pay once for the chance of it being completed, like pay from EA on Steam.

The main reason I dont subscribe is because the updates seem to take several weeks to months, if there was at least 1 update per month or even every 5-6 weeks I'd probably subscribe again.

Update speed is your main mission to fight back. Also, will your game upload to Steam ? I promise 120% paid for it.

I'm a combination of it patreon was updated more and releases faster, 6 months is a lot, it can also depend on who getting scenes, my girls no scenes, I eventually come back though.

You’re not really known for updating the game.

If you can update faster, for example, once a quarter, instead of once every 7 or 8 months, and there is less content updated for such a long time, just take last year's update as an example, the creation time is long and the update content is less. I believe many sponsors think so. If the update speed can be improved, I believe that many people will be willing to sponsor and support it. I will post here as evidence. If the update speed can catch up, I personally am willing to sponsor $100 per month.

Personally, it's because "NTR" has too little plot. I don't know if anyone is the same as me.

The biggest reason is that the updates are getting slower and slower, and there is less content every time you update it. There are many complaints about the game forums in my country that you are slow to update and you don’t do anything with money. I don’t want to sponsor any more, and I’m more willing to sponsor those newer and more diligent creators. In recent years, your update speed and game content are really not as good as before 2021.

I don't like to pay patreon tax which adds extra to $3. I would support on another platform that doesn't have any fees.
