Maccon's nude sprite disappointed me and turned me off. Not a fan of cut/mutilated men. It's my fault, I hyped myself up, thinking him being Latino would make him hotter than Tom. In more constructive criticism, the story's pacing is too slow and is becoming tedious to follow, the plot seems aimless, and the unreliable release schedule makes me lose interest. The lesson here is to finish writing and producing a VN before publishing it. Creating the VN each update is a terrible thing many developers do on this site, that makes it harder to trust creators, harder to commit. Visually and narratively this is not for me anymore, I had high hopes months back. I am done with this VN. :(
I agree with everything you said 😿😿😿😿 I'm really sad because this game doesn't go ahead 🐱😿😿😿😿 I got involved in the story is very amazing 😺😺 John cute 😻😻😻😻😻😻 I check every day to see if there is an update 😿😿😿 I hope all is well with the creator and that he has a lot of motivation and health to continue 😻😻😻😹😹😿😺😽 I hope it's fast too :D Hihihi 😻😻
I didn't have a problem with the shower shenanigans. What disappointed me was Maccon's character design. I expected him, being a Latino doggo, to be uncircumcised/not mutilated, due to the culture. I dislike cut characters, so I was willing to let that pass, since Tom is at least uncut... but then I noticed the problems with the story itself, and with how unreliable updates are, there is nothing to keep me invested. It really sucks how people publish incomplete VNs and then complete them at a slow place, making one wait YEARS for the finished product. Even worse, since I have paid double $$ digits, and invested 18 months of my life, for this project on Patreon. So you can see how unhappy I am with this product so far.
Oh. I wasn't really arguing, I just wanted to share my thoughts. Well, I do understand your frustrations, but a little sympathy can be allowed given Mochi's circumstances. I don't know what the money is being used for, but I do see Mochi making progress on their Twitter. I trust them. I believe in Mochi.
There is only one creator I trust on this site. He is a person I respect greatly. Despite his busy life, he managed to publish a complete VN, and monthly updates are merely translations and adding more CGs, story wise his VN is done and very well written. I don't trust anyone else, because in the last 12 months, 10 VNs I used to read/play went into indefinite semi-permanent hiatus, because their authors had not planned before publishing, and were making up the story as they went with each update, until they "burn out" and quit. After wasting time on them, and coming to trust this author I am fond of, I realized serious authors will publish full VNs, unless they can consistently prove they can handle the monthly update schedule and follow through with it.
I really feel you
There are many good novels out there, but sometimes their long update periods/unknown status make me gradually lose interest in them, and by the point when an update finally comes out, I may have already forgotten half of the story/events, and in that case I either have to reread the whole thing to understand what's going on, or just kinda abandon it for some time
