Story Mode Progress and a Quick Clarification
The UI of the business simulation module of the story mode has been mostly completed.
Solvite Sekai just pointed out that keeping the informative post locked to everyone besides $295 patrons during the problem shooting period in the past a few days was outright greedy and unfair.
I immediately realized that I have made a grave PR mistake.
I must make it clear that this was because Patreon does not have a "Hide post" feature so I did this only to prevent you from visiting a broken site or downloading a flawed test version. I should have deleted the release post but I would need to format the post again when the dust settles. I definitely did not mean to force you to pledge higher to see what's happening.
The other post was removed for the same reason. Sorry about the confusion and the feel of being disrespected. I'll try to find out a better way to deal with such situation in the future, although my best hope is that similar scenario will not happen again anymore.

Am I the only one that assumed it was locked behind such a ridiculous $ amount specifically to temporarily hide the post?
It seemed obvious to me. Especially since all the information we needed to know was right there in the title and could be read by everyone.
I'm just glad you responded and published as promised. Even though late, at least you published. There are some devs who just outright promised but did not publish over a few months.
It's good to see you taking some review on what happened. However the question still stands: When are we getting paralogue 0.1 and what will be included? It should have been released in april...
Its ok. U are doing a great job. Minor issue but great that someone pointed it out. Looking forward to the completed work. Keep it up
This looks promising. Thank you.
说真的，开个DC，方便很多，等更新的时候也好吹吹水
Thanks for the clarification. Everyone makes mistakes but I really appreciate you owning up to it. Can't wait for more updates!
Why don't you open a channel of discord?
I barely have time to eat, let alone monitoring a discord channel. But I'll consider this.
At least, you listened. Balance between money and community is what you should care for. We can lift you up to heaven and also can bring you to hell. You know subverse ? They easily got 2 million $ after a month. 4 years of free stuffs, communication (on tumblr, they do chatting, qa,... of course before tumblr got shit), and just 1.5 years on this patreon (make money, but got banned as well). So my advise is, just honest to your community, you will get what you deserve. Open a forum on your new website maybe, or just hire a guy (need to be aboard i think, or not, in case you are confident enough to know what the young shit around the world is watching and liking) to do your pr thing, communication, twitter, catching trending memes... Me personal, love your mascot. You can even make it more iconic by posting more about it, make it your official emo, even selling merch printed it. All of the above are just my suggestions, stay cool and keep it up the good work !
Good points. The dilemma lies here: unlike making videos, it requires a certain level of experience and knowledge to analyze whether a suggestion is valuable in terms of game development, so I need to keep in touch with the community and listen to your needs without having an agent filtering the information for me. The reason why I insisted on responding to incoming messages myself is also that nobody besides me can guarantee a to-the-point answer. You probably know what I'm saying if you have chatted with an unskilled customer service representative who keeps relaying your questions to their superiors.
Looks excellent! Keep up
This looks really complex and interesting. Nice work.
I'm chill, enjoying what's been released for VR. Maybe higher tiers see these problems but I'm sure the majority don't. Keep doing what you do.
Back to the game itself, I think it would be nice to add some breasts gravity so they become more flat and go sideways when Erika is on her back and when she is upside down breasts will hang to the ground. It would be more realistic ))
Gonna try that in the paralogue.
Side note: that website looks like an investor pitch. Are you funding outside of Patreon as well?
Of course not! I was just fed up with sending thousands of messages through Patreon's clunky message system manually every month. (ended up causing more trouble, but at least it's stable now)
Is there any plan to eventually allow the player to edit the morphs and customize the look of their doll?
cool. but how long it still needs to take?
I‘m afraid of giving exact deadline now because I always have trouble meeting them XD
I only ever thought it was the result of some error or mistake. No other possibility occurred to me.
