How much longer for chapter 3?

Love the story and the art and the slow character development of MC trying to come to terms with being confident about a relationship with a romantic aspect for the first time ever it appears.

But I've downloaded it and paid for the patreon as of Jan. LAST Year, and theres still no chapter 3 still - not even like part of chapter 3, which I understand that you want the art to be of high quality and attention to detail, but it must be your the single only person writing it / coding / de-bugging / hot fixing/ patching / translating / ensuring cross-OS Capabilities as well as the art itself. Either that or it appears you have given up and forgotten about it + lost motivation & willingness to put any ounce of time or love into your OC.

Hate to be rude about it, but you have promised your following of 4 chapters, each of the 4 girls with their own story-line / relation with the MC. The part that is making me write this & voice my concern and contempt, is the fact you have promised to anyone willing to put money into the project itself through patreon in order to receive Early Access + Beta Release Accessibility to your donators.

This was released in Feb. 2024, and we have yet to even see a single piece of art or sketch work of Chapter 3. Hope to hear back soon as I am disappointed and cannot exactly get a refund.

Really love your work and the project that you have poured much effort into. Absolutely adore your drawing style, its a fresh taste in a heaping composting pile of mass produced + unremarkable in every way manhwa's / doujin's that are essentially being s***-posted begging for money and support. Thanks again.

Hello my friend! First of all, thank you so much for supporting this project 🧡🧡🫡. Now, regarding the game, the truth is that the amount of work behind it is overwhelming (at least for me). I wanted to create many beautiful illustrations to differentiate it from other visual novels, but the problem is that updates take far too long. This, combined with the fact that I'm not currently earning any money from this project (the money raised through Patreon has been used to cover things like voice acting, some animations, etc.), makes it difficult to dedicate 8 or more hours a day just to advancing development, as I have to work to make a living. I've been working on this for two years now, and I'm sorry I can't meet the expectations or the production pace that many would like. I've poured a lot of love into this project, but sometimes things don't turn out as I'd hoped. Anyway, I'll continue to slowly but surely make progress on this project as far as I can, and thanks again for your support.

Oh my goodness, I had not even thought to ask about that. In that case, its entirely understandable then why there may a delay in your project.

Putting myself in your shoes, or so to say, in my mind, makes this more of a passionate hobby project. In that case, I certainly appreciate you making your project public. ON TOP of making it free for users, on a technicality.

Definitely makes me appreciate your work & your "passion-ality" to even create this work.

Makes me look at your project in a different light than before you informing me of your legitimate reasoning as to why there would be any sort of delay in your passion project.

Come to think of it, trying to put myself in your situation to try & understand this better. Makes me now realize the true amount of dedication and creativity that it would take to make your story from just your ideas & mind into an actual operational game. Don't mean to sound cringe, but it makes me think about this project being akin to TCOAAL in terms of the amount of work and processing it takes to mould your story from your mind into an actual work. Even more so, realizing that the creator of TCOAAL was being paid even during the creation of their game, puts it into perspective for me for the delay in your passion project.

Apologies for being what I would now consider to be rude & curt. But, thank you for having the initiative to continue ensuring that you are actively providing feedback to the fans of your hobby project. Thats certainly something that I would more than likely NOT be doing after putting myself in your shoes for this sort of situation. Really shows how truly dedicated you are on top of actively giving feedback and answers to the community of the "fans" of your project.

Thanks much again for taking the initiative & time to respond to my comment message asking for the reasoning of the delay, despite me being quite curt and unappreciative of how dedicated you truly are.
