More delays, folks, give it one more week.
Apparently the entire family had a bad case of food poisoning.
Honestly I'm not looking at this as "expect it by Mid May," but more of an "end of May deadline." That is what I see, as a supporter, from our first charged content this month. I hope you can get it out by then Yummy, because (and I think you mentioned this before) a lot of trust will be lost if that isn't reached.
Personally, I try to look at it from an unemotional standpoint. A lot of indie h-game devs seem to have strings of bad luck when it comes to releases. There is a time, when, as a supporter, you have to think, "is this one too many times?" And make a judgement call. I really have admiration for your paid content releases as opposed to monthly Yummy. It makes you one of the few devs on patreon that I actually respect atm (and only dev that I support with more than a buck). Please don't mess this one up XD.
First chaper is free if I remember right lol.

All chapters are free. Patrons will just get a beta release a couple of days earlier.
Uh no, first chapter is free. i'm pretty sure, all later chapters is pay content.
Aylia’s Story is meant to be a gigantic Thank You to the hentai game community. It is inspired by Japanese RPG Maker games, and by the many English indie games and unfinished demo. This game started when I asked myself, “Why can’t we have a cool English Hentai RPG?” As such, upon completion, Aylia’s Story will be freely distributed amongst the hentai community, for everyone to enjoy.
I'd like to think that in a week or less, the beta for ch.1 will be out! Can't wait!
..beta? Last I remember it should be the full version of the prologue and Ch. 1. Beta testing was supposed to be a perk for the patreons, but it hasn't happened yet. Probably start for Ch. 2.
Yummy mentioned a "patron beta period" in the last post.
Snip
...Now, the only real decision I'll have is whether I release chapters 2-4 publicly. Originally, I intended for chapter 1 to be released for free after the patron beta period. Then, I'd release the entire game upon completion publicly--meaning, access to chapter 2-4 would be patron only. Now, I'm not 100% sure I'll go this route...
Beta testing has already pretty much been done by a couple of lucky buggers who were helping him out with coding and writing a bit, at least from what I remember. It should be the full chapter at this point, and I haven't gotten any messages from him yet about it, so... Yummy?
It will be released in May, and I will be releasing it for a short beta period to patrons first. I've given this a lot of thought, and have been back and forth regarding how it'll be released. I've come to the conclusion that once it is released publicly, it is out of my hands. I'd rather give my patrons a 2-3 days window to test the crap out of it and ensure that the public release it mostly bug free. So, just be patient a bit longer.
You know your statements doesn't actually correlate to each other?
Just because some of the people helping him making the game have done some test run, doesn't equate to him having done "patreon only beta"?
He can still put it out to his patreon first, to see if there's any other bugs still left in there, THEN do public release.
