One year later
It's exactly one year and one day after start of our journey here on Patreon.
On the 3rd of April 2017 I put Babysitter up on Patreon for the first time. It was a short demo basically, about 10 minutes long, and I had a grand total of two patrons. By the end of the month, I had over one-hundred, I thought I was doing pretty well. I had no idea.
A year ago, Babysitter was a hobby that I enjoyed. Today it is my full-time job. A year ago, I made enough off the game to cover the costs of production, if that. Today, I have enough to live on. A year ago, I worked on the game by myself. Today I have a small dedicated team working with me to make the Babysitter the best it can be.
It’s been a bumpy year to be sure. Sometimes I made some rather… controversial design decisions. Sometimes real life intervened. Sometimes computers burst into flame. No matter what happened my focus has always been delivering a game that you all, and I can both be proud of.
And every one of you patrons should be proud too. I say this often, but we can’t do this without you. All of you are part of what makes Babysitter what it is. So when I once again say thank you, know that I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
While I am saying thanks, and before this gets too long I want to thank some people who have helped over the course of development. To my team members, both current and former, thank you for everything. I also want to give shout outs to the following people:
· RoscharBear for being first Patreon and also for his help with storywriting
· Malachi, LoneWolf and Rubberneck for their proofreading and ideas
· Booom313 for his coding assistance and saving our butts
· DarthSeduction for helping my writer grapple with some difficult scenes (check out his game, Game Legends.),
· Philly Games for getting us past a particularly nasty bit of code (check out his game, Depraved Awakening.),
· SinnDallas for helping bug test,
· The scores of you who send us bug reports, feedback, point out typos, and ideas for creative ways to murder Mr. Silver and Robert.
So where do we go from here? Well, Babysitter still has a great bit of life left in her, so don’t expect her to go away anytime soon. We are hashing out ideas for what comes next, and when they are ready to be shown you will be the first to see them. We’ll be opening a new Discord server soon, and now that we have our Android port out, our next one will be HTML5. And of course, we’re getting ever closer to our $10,000 goal. An additional artist on the team will let us give you even bigger updates each month.
Soon we’ll also be posting 0.1.1b as well as an updated walkthrough. There are a lot of fixed bugs and changes in 0.1.1b so stay tuned for the changelog.
Thank you all once again for your generous support!
Here’s to another great year!
T4bbo and team

i want mc to get his reward (more than sticky fingers)
So the next version will be mostly about the MC? I don't know if that's gonna work. I think all pathways should move simultaneously. I live the game in its entirety. Just saying some people may not be pleased specially if they're waiting for Robert or Mr. Silver to make their move
Not sure about everyone else, but personally his quality has made me satisfied regardless of the content I hoped to see.
is there gonna be any new sexual scene's with Mr silver in the next update? i played yesterday babysitter for the first time and i have to say that this is a master piece and i hate that i can't support u i don't have a creditcard or a paypal i wish i cold support u on a other way with ideal or somthing and is there gonna be more male characters for the ntr way beside Mr silver and robert?
Dont wanna spoil much but in next update, there will be rather fun for MC, but in upcoming two updates there will be plenty of sex scenes for everyone based on choices you have made. Regarding support... spread the word about the game! ;)
seems theres a glitch with taking the panties, after the 1st day or anytime u take them the next day shes wearing them but u cant take them again even tho the walkthrough says to each morning for horny route :/ 2+ days ingame is alot to back track for a scene or 2 along with all the others u miss because u can only take them once >_< :(
Panties should be ok now. Once you can take her thong, another time her panties... not the same piece of clothing. Can you specify which day do you have problem with taking them?
as soon as 1.1b comes out I will boost my commitment to $40. Love your work.
Congratulations. Wasn't an edited update going to be released? Is some bug harder than expected to eliminate?
We are doing more than correcting bugs, full changelog will be available. But yeah truth is that one of the correction with GUI cannot be done at all as we have planned...
Keep up the good work! PS: let Christine keep her tanlines, they are hot! PPS: moar romance with christine and the MC, I love their cute chemistry together.
Congrats on the success
Well done :). I missed the controversial design decisions, what were they?
I was apart of the first mpnth team still enjoy the game to this day
You know, this was the first patreon i ever supported back in version 0.0.5, and i've enjoyed it since. Keep up the good work T4BOO!!
I really appreciate that man! ;)
I've asked around and everyone's saying no sex scenes with her. Have I been getting trolled? If I can bang that cute thing I'll sub right now
Not yet BUT it is hinting 0.012 seems to go there.
Still can't touch the niece though.
You most certainly can. Someone hasn't played the last like three updates.
Congrats and great job T4bbo. You are probably one of the most reliable dev's in the genre now, so your success is not a fluke. Continue striving for the game you want, while still being open to wiggles here and there based on feedback, and I am sure you'll look back at this point next year even more successful than you are now. I believe your story is better (not as much fluff or padding) than DMD and BB and is one majjor reason for your success.
I totally responded to the wrong post! Again WOW thank you t4bbo lol!
Understandable distraction with those two bunnies :D And regarding "thank you post", you are hardworker, you deserve that... ;)
Anytime, I want the best for you guys :D
