Honestly, I don't really pay attention to stories for most "western" AVN but this is one of the few which made me interested. Mainly for Azraesha because she's my fav Li so far in terms of AVN. But yeah, the pacing is getting horrendous and as much as i love Rae, this is not it man. Just give me a game with her alone and forget about all the bs.
With the additional "side"problem of having monthly income as long as you keep it going, which you can't if you just finish it.
At some point, a successful developer will dothis fulltime, depend on it, then hire help.
It's difficult to find the right time to branch off. If they even want to.
But yes, a labour of love only carries so far.
At this point, it's been going so long I am reasonably certain I wouldn't actually be emotionally affected by whatever is revealed.
I am not a mind reader, but somehow I know that Lyriel's next wish would be.
I have one question: looking at the date (Day 1194) on your screenshot and comparing with the day the game started (May 2, 2019) - are you litterally playing one day (in game) per one day (in real life)?!
I have not play the last several updates (I need to quit my day-time job to get more free time or something), so is this image from the actual game?

I love this game so much! I played the hell out of it a few updates ago and now I'm trying to patiently wait for it to be done to play again.

Actually he has that monthly income regardless, you and I both know people don't retract their patreon donations no matter what the fuck happens. Dev could be caught having preschooler diddy parties and he'd still be making thousands off Patreon assuming his page isn't shut down.
This is definitely bloat, but I think it's the narrative bloat of a newbie author afraid everyone will think his twist sucks and so he's spinning the tires pretending he'll reveal it eventually while sweating on the inside and praying to extend the time before he has to actually tell that part of the story.
I think a problem is that when the dev asks his patrons whether they would like some new cool-sounding feature, such as the potion recipes, they almost always say yes, not realising that the effort that goes into that will mean that less time is available for working on the main plot. It's not just this game; I've seen it happen with a number of Patreon games.

That's fair. Letting the audience decide what goes into the game is one of those ideas which sounds great on paper, but in practice it's fucking awful. I'm strongly of the opinion the dev should have full creative control of the project.
That doesn't stop feature bloat, but the masses are famously not good at moderation.
