Let’s Talk: The Rework, Patreon, and Your Opinions
🕑 Added 2025-10-01 20:17:09 +0000 UTCHey everyone, how's it going? Today I decided to bring a different kind of post, a bit more detailed and with teasers for all paid members! 💯
First, I'd like to talk a little about the rework of the first chapters:
At first, I honestly thought it would be something simple and quick to do, but as I went deeper back into Chapter 01, I realized how amateur it was, haha!
The story's content and dialogues left quite a lot to be desired, and although the art was striking and looked nice from a distance, it had many errors or could be much better!
Two good examples to show this are the scene where Ana kisses the MC before they head back home, and the scene where Ana is taking off her clothes. Without going too deep into technical aspects, you can notice that the composition, anatomy, and character poses now make much more sense (and if you don't notice these things, you'll at least feel that for some reason the new art looks way more 'wow!')
The same goes for several dialogues, but even so, I'm going to keep about 95% of the dialogues intact, otherwise the remake/remaster would end up being much bigger (and slower) than it should be.
Remaking the first chapters has been bringing me a huge joy seeing my evolution, and because of that my motivation for the next chapters has grown even more! I know now I'll be able to create the complex scenes I've been planning, and I can't wait to share them with you. ❤️
Another topic I'd like to discuss and hear your opinion about is the community and Patreon.
To be straightforward, despite the significant growth in followers and supporters, we haven't had much growth in interactions (comments, likes, and discussions/chatting). On top of that, the fact that about 90% of the supporters who joined in August (Chapter 04 release) canceled their subscriptions left me really worried.
It's normal for people to subscribe just to get access to a new chapter's release, but usually the cancellation rate is around 50-60%. So I'd like to know your opinion about this. Am I doing something wrong, or was Chapter 04 really that bad? 🥺 Leave your thoughts in the comments!
I think that's it for now. Later this week I'll launch a lighthearted poll just for fun, and further ahead I'll update you with release dates and other things I promised for this update.
A big hug to you all!

Thank you so much, man! I'm really happy with your support and your comment But there's no need to apologize for that. I believe most people end up discovering the game that way, and that's totally fine!

I think a lot of people will come back, and new people will come, it's only a matter of time, I'll say more, I'm a sinner (Now there will be recognition like in an Italian restaurant) , because I use pirated files, but if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have known about you, and what we have, I'm here because I was touched by your work, In my defense, I can only say sorry, and I promise to support you for a long time, I am sure that there will be many people like me HERE.♥️ (p.s. All chapters is amazing, And in the fourth, you reveal a very strong theme of how much they understand each other, it had to be done and you paid a lot of attention to it, and I think it's great, because you put your heart and soul into them, don't think about the bad, all is awesome😊)

Don’t worry about the drop in subscriptions, it’s totally normal, and I’m sure people will come back later on. The updates you’re making to the earlier chapters look really good. About Chapter 4, I think it was a solid chapter in terms of both story and technical stuff, but personally, I felt it was missing one or two more spicy scenes. One idea I had was when Ana leaves alone in the Uber/Taxi, maybe there could’ve been a bit of teasing there or something. Maybe something like that could be added in version 4.5. Keep up the great work, you’ve got an awesome story going!
