at least they tell people they're stopping or not :|
in contrast with my other favorites games like The Humbling Experience or some games that the author has to code and the artist has to draw the characters like the guys from the heaven studio and zombie life and so on, one thing I don't get is what can take them 5 months to release an update?
I mean the author of zombie life hired several artist for each game and they have to draw the characters of course for each scene and I can see they're releasing updates each months. and of course they do care about the fans and the players and more importantly the supporters of their works. they communicate with them and give them news about the projects. you can see another example in the topic of alansya chronicles that they constantly answering people.
these five months created a question mark over my head that I can find any solution to that.

Granted, 5 months is a lot of time.
Nergal (Zombie's Life, Urban Demons) has the artists he has commissioned as you said and per update IIRC there were maybe 3 scenes, correct me if I'm wrong.
Alansya Chronicles is again, a commissioned artist with around 4 scenes per update.
Now I'm not bashing either of these because the quality has always been on point and obviously, frequent updates is always a bonus.
PandP on the other hand is just the two of them (is it two of them? Again correct me if I'm wrong) doing 3DCG which is obviously time consuming with posing and the like as well as doing the animations which I can only assume is a pain in the ass to get looking as good as it does.
And then comes the coding and the dialogue (of which English isn't their mother tongue I'm pretty sure). And coding is a landmine in of itself.
Anyway, my point being that as far as I understand the differences between Nergal, HeavenStudios and PandP, comparing the two to PandP is a bit uneven considering.
Only one I'm unsure of is Humbling experience but that is also 3DCG isn't it? Depending on how they work could be a fair comparison to PandP but again, I haven't looked into Humbling so I wouldn't know.
I am agreeing however, that communication has been poor, as in, dad left at childbirth poor.
Edit:Also, if I understand their recent comments correctly, the next update includes 300 cgs and 14 animations so, there is also that![]()
Just a small correction there, we are not a commissioned artist, we're a team, he's part of the circle and owns it as much as I do.
And English is far from my native tongue x'D
That much is obvious tho :\
Lily was the game, that brought me into this world for real.
They could have at least posted just a picture and progress update.
Then again, if they release an update now and everyone jumps back on, they can do this again for half a year, on no one will bat an eye on that then.
You aren't wrong but I hope not :/
Why not? If his update justifies 5 months of work, well, the updates weren't steady and it's far from optimal, but, you know, depends how you see it, in the end you're supporting the artist, not the game, if he justifies 5 months of work in 5 months, he's still those 5 months closer to finishing the game. Right..?
Ok, in that regard then I can get behind it.
It was just the way Deepsleep said it sounded like PandP would just abuse the time (maybe abuse isn't the right word but I hope you can get where I'm coming from) because he can. Now that I've read it again I can see maybe I'm reading into things. Boh well.
Anyway, regardless, I haven't been one to complain on their patreon since it doesn't contribute anything and I'm still gonna be there for the quality so![]()
Yeah I mean, so far can't jump the gun here, this is unprecedented on their part as far as I know. It's like nowadays everyone is afraid Patreons are gonna turn Breeding Season. There's a few out there who are clearly milking Patrons for their money so yeah.
