I know how you feel, my dude, but something to keep in mind--the more stuff we try to cram into this game, the longer it'll take to create and the more risks of things running over-time and over-budget, even with the crowd funding, which could potentially stop production :(. I don't think that'll happen based on MeYaoi's track record with Seiyuu Danshi, but life can happen. That being said...I REALLY WANNA SEE WHAT MEYOAI WOULD DO WITH HOWL, AND I'M SO SAD WE WON'T GET TO SEE IT AT THIS RATE!!! ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡
That gives me a lot of peace of mind, thanks! I recently had a sad experience with a game I'm beta-ing ending active production due to a computer break-down (she had the assets saved, but the new computer didn't have and didn't want to run her old programs, making her saved assets essentially useless and putting back progress by roughly 1 year), over-budget issues, and creative burn-out, so I really wanna see Banana Ranch succeed! But like you say, with that fairly generous goal for fundraising + MeYaoi's experience with making a game like this, it is VERY likely that it will succeed :D. I admit to being on the fence on whether an extension of the campaign period or a later release of "expansion characters" is the way to go...on the one hand, we wait longer for a bigger and better game, or on the other we get the game sooner with the option to upgrade (and probably pay more, lol, but that supports the developer so I'm okay with that ;p) and receive more routes. Well, we'll see what happens! Maybe the campaign ends here and there's no expansion options, maybe it'll be extended, maybe there WILL be expansion routes in the future. We'll just have to wait and see ;)
