If you already unlocked her card then you need to go to the creator's Patreon for more content. IF you haven't then you have to go to the market at a certain time and a quest will appear where you find the generous thief, the steps on what to do are pretty easy tbh.
Demon girl (Narissa) is unlocked after you chose 'FINISH PROLOGUE' option, which is the furthest in the current version. Check the gallery see if you missed anything (or look at each girl in the heart icon menu) There are Halloween event animations too, can do that while we wait for the release of chapter 1.
Sort of not really. Her card is unlockable, but she really doesnt do much atm. Kinda have to wait for 1.3 to drop for more to her probably. But have no fear 1.3 is gonna be epic
Heard rumors of the next great game update being published anytime in the middle of December. Is this serious/certain (I'm not active in Discord or other platforms so maybe I missed latest information).
Its highly possible, he said the update would come on the anniversary or after at the end of the year or the beginning of the new year. So its likely that we would get the update in december for a middle point
I think you could stacked the effects of other fishing tools (I'm not 100% sure about this, I just read what the description said). Even with that I still can't get the legendary fish of the lake, so I'm really hoping there is a rod upgrade.
Komisari said 1.3 will release at around December so it's probably gonna be mid December or so and Harems hero v2 is additional content for the game not an update and basically pictures and videos for patrons or itch subs
Oh also if your wondering this game will have three chapter currently we are on the prologue and 1.3 will be chapter one, crazy that 1.2 is only the introduction of the game and not even chapter one but it already has this much gameplay... but yeah and 1.3 will be 2x bigger then the current chapter from what I'm hearing from others, meaning two times the amount of content most likely meaning it will take two times longer to complete which personally is great news, so yeah komisari said on Patreon that after 1.3/chapter 1 is out he will do an update every 6 months or so.
I can't help but notice that the girls with the smallest breasts are all about average. Now that's great for those who really prefer them on the large side, but some of us prefer a more balanced distribution of busts.
Now I was looking through the comments to see where it was being discussed and about a year ago you mentioned you won't be adding any girls with smaller breasts, and that's fine.
What I was wondering is if you'd consider an option/mod to reduce the existing girls' breast sizes?
Thanks for your hard work as a solo developer, honestly no rush is needed as some players do want an actual nice update consisting of the Storyline, Features, and Gameplay.
Though i also hope that the game would be finally updated in late December or early January, this game's popularity and name doesn't fade away even after year of no update, so when the new chapters and storyline finally arrived... I'm pretty sure it'll gain more attention from people.
i thought this game was abandon something about the dev say there was no future for the game there again im 2 year out of the loop on the event going down
Its not abandoned it never was the dev still posts updates on discord and Twitter he's a solo dev so it takes a while to make the update plus the amount of content the update will have is probably gonna be alot
From what I understand, there will be 3 more major updates. The upcoming Chapter 1, along with Chapters 2 and 3. What we have now, is considered the entire Prologue. So this game when complete will have quite the extensive game time. Im still working on getting completely finished myself
Currently getting Headerse errors while trying to extract the Win version. I've tried to redownload and extrating using different programs, to no avail. Any ideas?
I know my voice is small but PLEASE ADVERTISE THE DATE OF THE UPDATE (you might get a rise in patreon which you very much deserve for your efforts, I'm glad you also put so much effort into this game please continue to love it !)
I dont even think Komisari knows when 0.13 will be finished lol. But as said by Komisari, its coming soon. It just needs the final touches and then, bam! Our patience will be well rewarded im sure
Very excited to see the next update when it comes out been just grinding the mone and levels for the fanart till then hope its going well and great work!
just want people to know that if your a the type of person that wants everything in the game then ima give you a really helpful tip. the Halloween and Christmas events only happen at set times right? but if you change your date and time in settings then you can get everything completed in the game easily without waiting, your welcome. also there is an easter egg that I'm not going to spoil so have fun figuring it out hahahaha. smell ya later weebs.
edit: don't click on the vid that @gta--6 posted it could harm your computer who knows, just be careful.
So, I just read your last update, and realized I haven't actually checked for updates for this game in... Geez, a year and a half now. I was hoping to come back to a boat-load of content, which is my usual method for games of this nature; Notice something cool, catch up to production, then forget it exists for four to six months and hope I come back to lots of new stuff to enjoy. That there was nothing had me worried, and I'll admit, I'm still a bit worried. It's not the best of looks, no updates for two years.
With that having been said, my experience with the game that exists has been top-notch. I absolutely adore the characters, and when they get caught up in rough experiences it makes my heart ache for them in sympathy. They're portrayed extremely well, and their actions and interactions, for the most part, feel very realistic for their given personalities. For those reasons, I want to hold out and see what comes with 1.3. Recover well from that eye surgery, and do your best to drop the rest of chapter one soon! I'm so, so, SO very impatient to get back in with the girls.
I'm sorry to ruin your comeback-to-loads-of-content. I understand you because I do the same xD, I leave games and then come back to play it with way more content!
Soon, just another couple of months, the update will come out!
I'm practically vibrating with excitement! And no, nothing ruined. Little disappointment, but if you're really dropping a nuke when you update I think the wait will feel quite worth it. Take care, and you'll probably hear from me again when the update hits! Best of luck!
I thought it got recently updated, cause it said it was updated 7 days ago yesterday, It's a very good game and I cant just leave it. ;; I got too into this game ;; (yes, I have played this for a long time now, and from the many similar visual novels I've played, this one is the best one in my opinion so far)
Stumbled upon this on complete accident. Gave it a whirl, reminded me of dating sims from the early/mid 2000's (which were ok). I don't often play H games nor dating sims anymore, however I am eager to see where this goes. It's not often that I stumble upon something and fall in love with the characters personalities, actually feel invested in the story, and get sad that there isn't more available.
The girls are a treat and the interactions with them, while lewd and H af, are also really wholesome and unlike the dating sims of the early days this makes them feel real. Again I don't often play H games anymore but this one is a gem. Slapped down the 15 for it and can't wait to see where this goes.
Edit: Something I forgot to mention, Jimmy is best girl.
Ignoring Events, there hasnt been an update in 2 years. And dev has now said its still going to be a few months for 0.1.3?
I'm glad I'm not a patreon. Imagine paying 'x' month after month for over 2 years for no actual content.
I'm sympathetic of your struggles in your personal life but theres comes a point where it just seems like you're taking peoples money, making up a few gifs and polls and stringing people along.
You're literally getting $5,000+ a month through Patreon. So youve made approx $120,000 since the last actual content update.
Hello! You nor anyone is forced to support me. I have never faked the release date for people to pledge and then said "Oh, my bad, I will change the release date again!".
If people are paying my content is because they liked it, plus, I have lots of new Patrons per day, and I lose a lot more. Per day.
I could understand if I had faked a release date, but I always say that the moment that the update will be available, I will post 30 days before announcing it.
And I think you are confused, I haven't made any poll. I just upload sneak peeks, including, entire events with dialogue and etc.
Thanks for the reply. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy your gane and look forward to the update.
That said, taking over 2 years to push an update when thousands are supporting your monitarily is a bit of a wind up.
Your patreon shows you are taking over $5,000 per month from people. The "goal" you set specifically says you'll be "full time developing" but its literally over 2 years for a +0.0.1.
I just think your patrons deserve a bit better that weekly updates explaining why there isnt an update.
At $5k+ per month surely you can hire help? Do something more to give back to the people who've invested in you.
Also, it's very very easy to say "well no one is forced to give me money" - the point is, they do.
They believe in your game, they believe in your ability to produce the game to a good standard. They enjoy the story arc and the other bits. They support you.
As a developer, saying "no one is forced to support me" is taboo. If they all suddenly stopped today, what would happen?
You need to use more than one braincell my fellow person. ( = w = )
Think, if you were a patreon and they have not updated the game, would you continue to be a patreon or would you stop being one and just wait for new stuff and then go back?
Saying that the next update is a +0.0.1 is just stupid. I call it that way so that v0.2.0 can be Chapter 2, not Chapter 1. Despite just being a +0.0.1, the update could EASILY be Hero's Harem Guild 2.
It MORE than duplicates the actual content, and it has WAY more quality than before, with lots of new stuff, I'm sorry but you can't grab me with the "+0.0.1".
Also, it's not taboo, you are not forced to support me if you don't like my workflow or you don't believe me. I am what I say on the Patreon posts, I'm not lying to anyone. I'm not promising you something but an eventual update, not even WHEN it happens. That's up to you to decide if you want to support me.
I only say; The update will come out and will be amazing in quality. I'm pretty proud of my work, and I'm confident as hell about what I'm doing. I want Hero's Harem Guild to be one of the best H games out there, and I'm pretty sure it'll be close to it.
Now, again, up to you to decide if you want to support/believe me or not. And it's not the only thing I say; if you want to know what I say to my Patrons, check the latest patreon post.
If they all suddenly stopped today, I would probably have to move from my actual house to my old house, sell my car and continue working on the development there. And if something happens to my computer or whatever, I have enough savings to be able to fix it, in case you want to put me in a more critical situation. I have family that will probably help me financially to continue working.
There is no stopping the update, not even if everyone leaves Patreon. I made v0.1.2 in an old house with a shitty computer and a 2x2 room. This is my game, and it will be finished.
-I've gotta say something. There's no need for reply but I hope you read it. Basically just be careful not to get too emotional in your responses to your player base. No matter how right you are, people deeply resent those that try to demand sympathy while having a position of control. You could end up like Yandere Dev or the No Man Sky team if you're not careful.
-In essence the reality of the difficulty of game development goes over the heads of the consumer base. Thus untruthful rumors arise to suggest the dev's are taking advantage of them and the support they give. Its a tale as old as time, and I don't want that for such an aspiring and capable Dev like yourself.
-Basically you've been doing great with non-professional PR by just putting your nose to the grind-stone and showing proof that you're working onto your discord. There's no need to bend to the whim of those speculating your trustworthiness with reassurances at every opportunity, simply redirecting them to your discord should suffice.
-The long and short is the more you interact with the community's concerns the more likely they're turn on you through no fault but their own misunderstanding-based conspiracy and speculation. Alternatively just showing you've made progress with minimal communication goes a long way to build rapport- speaking through your actions rather than words.
-TL;DR Just keep up the good work and if anyone questions you, tell them to check your discord just like you have. Don't falter at this leg of the race and show weakness or frustration. Your image is Komisari, the guy who takes 2 years to update his game because he knows its gonna be worth the wait, and gives him time to learn and implement a better foundation and methods. You can't let them taint that image by suggesting your might regret it and thus might be incompetent or flaky. No matter how untrue it is, it's what they'll believe if you show any vague signs it could be true. SO just keep working man, prove them wrong through actions and results.
(btw hiring people or getting volunteers isn't as good as it sounds unless you structure it perfectly and everyone is competent in their role. Even a dream team can become a nightmare if Egos, communication problems, unreliability, scheduling, and etc arise. So don't let people pressure you to build a team if you make enough money to hire help unless you're prepared to iron out pipelines and management issues and can invest in the overhead of accounting for the expense and literal overhead)
Hello! It will be quick, I think the same about hiring people. It requires me to structure lots of stuff, and I do not feel capable of, I have no experience with it. I think I could do a good job, but that can be hell if not managed properly.
tbh yeah I mean, I don't know how long it takes to make a game like this. Perhaps he really is just holding out for the largest update ever (For some reason?) rather than making smaller more frequent updates to the game. Whatever the case, Patreon as a platform seems to reward slow development. It's like "Oh I get paid by the month. Yeah uhhh the next update will be ready in... not 2 and a a half years.. Maybe a few months past that even..."
Have you ever stopped to consider the potential risks and liabilities one has to go through when creating a high-quality, high-quantity, but time-killing game? By themselves at that? Furthermore, if you want a game like this done earlier instead of later, how about you start making actual efforts at doing something positive for a change? Instead of complaining to the developer, you could contribute and/or give moral support to the developer ALONGSIDE the masses that have waited almost 2 years, yeah? You joined in 2021, whereas many others have waited longer than you, so be considerate of those who have spent their time doing ACTUALLY beneficial deeds to society, such as working, politics, and whatever else is helpful to the society at this time, rather than rambling their half-baked complaints to the developer like you are currently doing. Every game developer has constraints, limits, and other possible liabilities that could possibly get in their way and potentially become a big threat accomplishing their goals. Komisari is no different, possibly more hard-working than most. Take a hint, and stop being selfish please and thank you. Good day.
Dude, it's not selfish to ask questions. Especially more so when money is being exchanged. So perhaps consider removing your nose from the dev's anus and let people ask their questions - of which this area is literally here to allow.
This was all settled and cleared up 2 weeks ago, and now you're opening it again and adding this unecessary reply, for what?
Being selfish is to do something for one's own benefit as a detriment to others. Asking questions is not selfish. Telling people they cant ask specific questions or say specific things is fascism. And I'm sure you're not a fascist, are you?
Never needed to know such an unnecessary word since it does not describe me at all. Also, I'm just voicing my thoughts similar to what you're doing, but my comments are actually passive-aggressive, whereas you're just straight-up hounding the developer over their efforts at putting 200% quality into their game's coding and whatnot. Like they said, you do not NEED to pay him if you're not a big fan of "patience", yet you're still pestering 'em. Even if you're not supporting the developer financially, you could try being more optimistic. Also, whoever decides to use financial support as their go-to since the developer is usually busy editing their game, it's their money, not yours. Let them be who decides what their hard-earned money is being invested into. It's really none of your concern what others use their money for. (FYI, I don't really care if this discussion was finished 20 days ago, I was just late to the party is all, since I'm busy with my job and other useful daily activities.) Have a good day.

How do i unlock Delilah?
If you already unlocked her card then you need to go to the creator's Patreon for more content. IF you haven't then you have to go to the market at a certain time and a quest will appear where you find the generous thief, the steps on what to do are pretty easy tbh.
Iv got 4 clues but can't get the 5th one. Any idea?
Did the creator abandon the game?
No
how to get guild member's love
Change the outfit to Lucy and go visit her in her chamber.
how do you change the outfit
Click the heart icon, choose Lucy and Change card to change Outfit
I dont know if im stuck or finished. Main girls are lvl 10, sunny lvl 6, maria, ari and leticia lvl5, elizabeth lvl 3. How do i unlock the demon?
Demon girl (Narissa) is unlocked after you chose 'FINISH PROLOGUE' option, which is the furthest in the current version. Check the gallery see if you missed anything (or look at each girl in the heart icon menu)
There are Halloween event animations too, can do that while we wait for the release of chapter 1.
is narissa already unlockable or not yet ?
Sort of not really. Her card is unlockable, but she really doesnt do much atm. Kinda have to wait for 1.3 to drop for more to her probably. But have no fear 1.3 is gonna be epic
Heard rumors of the next great game update being published anytime in the middle of December. Is this serious/certain (I'm not active in Discord or other platforms so maybe I missed latest information).
Its highly possible, he said the update would come on the anniversary or after at the end of the year or the beginning of the new year. So its likely that we would get the update in december for a middle point
Thanks
Will there be more content with Jimmy? He's the best bro and he's funny too.
Besides virtual succubus are there any other good Joi phone game out there? I'll take any recommendation.
I know I'm repeating myself, but the best present for christmas would be the release of HHG v.0.1.3 :)
how do i upgrade the fishing rod
I think you could stacked the effects of other fishing tools (I'm not 100% sure about this, I just read what the description said). Even with that I still can't get the legendary fish of the lake, so I'm really hoping there is a rod upgrade.
Loved this game
Played this for 16 hrs straight
i cant wait for chapter 1 to release, what is the release date for v0.1.3?
in middle of december if im correct
It can take a while since 1.3 is 2 times bigger than the current build :)
it will come out when his ready to drop it untill then we just have to wait its still TBA of what i heard
Its in December
This game is really really good cant wait for the update :)
Anybody know any good Joi game for phone besides virtual succubus
Komisari. I really liked the novella, thank you very much. And there are two more questions.
1.When do you think you will be able to publish the update of version 0.1.3.
2. What does the novella Heros Harem Guild V2 mean for $15, this is a completely second novella or additional content to Heros Harem Guild v0.1.2.
Sorry if you answer these questions a hundred times, but I really liked the novel and wanted to read the whole thing.
I don't mind re-reading this second novella, the first one I liked Bla (if you didn't understand them Bla - infinite summer)
Komisari said 1.3 will release at around December so it's probably gonna be mid December or so and Harems hero v2 is additional content for the game not an update and basically pictures and videos for patrons or itch subs
Thanks for the answer. I will wait 😇
Oh also if your wondering this game will have three chapter currently we are on the prologue and 1.3 will be chapter one, crazy that 1.2 is only the introduction of the game and not even chapter one but it already has this much gameplay... but yeah and 1.3 will be 2x bigger then the current chapter from what I'm hearing from others, meaning two times the amount of content most likely meaning it will take two times longer to complete which personally is great news, so yeah komisari said on Patreon that after 1.3/chapter 1 is out he will do an update every 6 months or so.
Комисари. Мне очень сподобалась новела, спасиба огромное тебе. И ещё есть два вопроса.
1.На твою думку когда сможешь опубликовать обновление версии 0.1.3.
2.Що означает новела Heros Harem Guild V2 за 15 доларов, ето совсем другая новела или же дополнительный контент до Heros Harem Guild v0.1.2 .
Извини якщо отвечаешь в сотни раз на ети вопросы, но мне очень понравилась новела и хотелось прочитать всю.
Ета вторая новела которую я не против перечитать, первая покаше Бл (якщо них-то не понял Бл- бесконечное лето)
Kid wtf you are doing here?
Hi, thanks for all the hard work!
I can't help but notice that the girls with the smallest breasts are all about average. Now that's great for those who really prefer them on the large side, but some of us prefer a more balanced distribution of busts.

What I was wondering is if you'd consider an option/mod to reduce the existing girls' breast sizes?
Yes or no is fine, thanks again!
Hello! I think you read it wrong, or I lied. Because most of the new girls/characters have smaller breasts!
Yeah, I probably did. Cheers!
Has their been any updates yet and if so I can I get it
hopefully in the next 2 or 3 months :d
Please add Chinese, I can't understand😭
硬啃生肉
来这这里只能尽量学好英语咯

(I miss Jimmy)
I'm kinda sad that i just finished it. I feel like something is missing inside me
Won't be long until you get to ay again though! Around the end of this year I believe is when the 1st chapter is out
i thought this game was abandon something about the dev say there was no future for the game there again im 2 year out of the loop on the event going down
Its not abandoned it never was the dev still posts updates on discord and Twitter he's a solo dev so it takes a while to make the update plus the amount of content the update will have is probably gonna be alot
The update will be 2 times as big as the whole game now.

the Dev say "
I wanted to post the new update the same day HHG updated last time or, on the anniversary, but I find it hard to achieve.
The ETA is the end of this year or starting of the new one."
don't worry we gonna get this update one day, just be patient.
When is the 0.13 version coming out!! I'm desperate to know! :DDD
I dont even think Komisari knows when 0.13 will be finished lol. But as said by Komisari, its coming soon. It just needs the final touches and then, bam! Our patience will be well rewarded im sure
lucy always displays "wait for a while" ,what should i do?
I had the same problem. You have to progress the storylines of the other characters first.
whos helen? i need to talk with her for the halloween quest but she isnt appearing anywhere and i cant find here with the icons
She's the clothes shop lady, where you bought the swimming shorts and the paper sheets for the library
Development paused due to major eye and health problem please get better !
Why does the link to discord not work?
sorry for the stupid question xD
9 gigs seems like a lot
Game is worth it. Graphic is in good quality.
Wait more than 2 years
lol
Very excited to see the next update when it comes out been just grinding the mone and levels for the fanart till then hope its going well and great work!
ghost girl kinda bad tho, ignore all warnings for free jumpscare, kekw
just want people to know that if your a the type of person that wants everything in the game then ima give you a really helpful tip. the Halloween and Christmas events only happen at set times right? but if you change your date and time in settings then you can get everything completed in the game easily without waiting, your welcome. also there is an easter egg that I'm not going to spoil so have fun figuring it out hahahaha. smell ya later weebs.

Also, it's not taboo, you are not forced to support me if you don't like my workflow or you don't believe me. I am what I say on the Patreon posts, I'm not lying to anyone. I'm not promising you something but an eventual update, not even WHEN it happens. That's up to you to decide if you want to support me.
I only say; The update will come out and will be amazing in quality. I'm pretty proud of my work, and I'm confident as hell about what I'm doing. I want Hero's Harem Guild to be one of the best H games out there, and I'm pretty sure it'll be close to it.
Now, again, up to you to decide if you want to support/believe me or not. And it's not the only thing I say; if you want to know what I say to my Patrons, check the latest patreon post.
If they all suddenly stopped today, I would probably have to move from my actual house to my old house, sell my car and continue working on the development there. And if something happens to my computer or whatever, I have enough savings to be able to fix it, in case you want to put me in a more critical situation. I have family that will probably help me financially to continue working.
There is no stopping the update, not even if everyone leaves Patreon. I made v0.1.2 in an old house with a shitty computer and a 2x2 room. This is my game, and it will be finished.

-I've gotta say something. There's no need for reply but I hope you read it. Basically just be careful not to get too emotional in your responses to your player base. No matter how right you are, people deeply resent those that try to demand sympathy while having a position of control. You could end up like Yandere Dev or the No Man Sky team if you're not careful.
-In essence the reality of the difficulty of game development goes over the heads of the consumer base. Thus untruthful rumors arise to suggest the dev's are taking advantage of them and the support they give. Its a tale as old as time, and I don't want that for such an aspiring and capable Dev like yourself.
-Basically you've been doing great with non-professional PR by just putting your nose to the grind-stone and showing proof that you're working onto your discord. There's no need to bend to the whim of those speculating your trustworthiness with reassurances at every opportunity, simply redirecting them to your discord should suffice.
-The long and short is the more you interact with the community's concerns the more likely they're turn on you through no fault but their own misunderstanding-based conspiracy and speculation. Alternatively just showing you've made progress with minimal communication goes a long way to build rapport- speaking through your actions rather than words.
-TL;DR Just keep up the good work and if anyone questions you, tell them to check your discord just like you have. Don't falter at this leg of the race and show weakness or frustration. Your image is Komisari, the guy who takes 2 years to update his game because he knows its gonna be worth the wait, and gives him time to learn and implement a better foundation and methods. You can't let them taint that image by suggesting your might regret it and thus might be incompetent or flaky. No matter how untrue it is, it's what they'll believe if you show any vague signs it could be true. SO just keep working man, prove them wrong through actions and results.
(btw hiring people or getting volunteers isn't as good as it sounds unless you structure it perfectly and everyone is competent in their role. Even a dream team can become a nightmare if Egos, communication problems, unreliability, scheduling, and etc arise. So don't let people pressure you to build a team if you make enough money to hire help unless you're prepared to iron out pipelines and management issues and can invest in the overhead of accounting for the expense and literal overhead)
GL and Godspeed. I know you can make it!
Hello! It will be quick, I think the same about hiring people. It requires me to structure lots of stuff, and I do not feel capable of, I have no experience with it. I think I could do a good job, but that can be hell if not managed properly.
Thank you!
this brings tears of joy to me <3 i hope you never give up on HHG no matter what
wow, new car, new house, no new update. keep up good work ! u deserve as much as doge coin investor !
Hello, there was a new update soon ago.
tbh yeah I mean, I don't know how long it takes to make a game like this. Perhaps he really is just holding out for the largest update ever (For some reason?) rather than making smaller more frequent updates to the game. Whatever the case, Patreon as a platform seems to reward slow development. It's like "Oh I get paid by the month. Yeah uhhh the next update will be ready in... not 2 and a a half years.. Maybe a few months past that even..."
Have you ever stopped to consider the potential risks and liabilities one has to go through when creating a high-quality, high-quantity, but time-killing game? By themselves at that? Furthermore, if you want a game like this done earlier instead of later, how about you start making actual efforts at doing something positive for a change? Instead of complaining to the developer, you could contribute and/or give moral support to the developer ALONGSIDE the masses that have waited almost 2 years, yeah? You joined in 2021, whereas many others have waited longer than you, so be considerate of those who have spent their time doing ACTUALLY beneficial deeds to society, such as working, politics, and whatever else is helpful to the society at this time, rather than rambling their half-baked complaints to the developer like you are currently doing. Every game developer has constraints, limits, and other possible liabilities that could possibly get in their way and potentially become a big threat accomplishing their goals. Komisari is no different, possibly more hard-working than most. Take a hint, and stop being selfish please and thank you. Good day.
Dude, it's not selfish to ask questions. Especially more so when money is being exchanged. So perhaps consider removing your nose from the dev's anus and let people ask their questions - of which this area is literally here to allow.
This was all settled and cleared up 2 weeks ago, and now you're opening it again and adding this unecessary reply, for what?
Being selfish is to do something for one's own benefit as a detriment to others. Asking questions is not selfish. Telling people they cant ask specific questions or say specific things is fascism. And I'm sure you're not a fascist, are you?
Never needed to know such an unnecessary word since it does not describe me at all. Also, I'm just voicing my thoughts similar to what you're doing, but my comments are actually passive-aggressive, whereas you're just straight-up hounding the developer over their efforts at putting 200% quality into their game's coding and whatnot. Like they said, you do not NEED to pay him if you're not a big fan of "patience", yet you're still pestering 'em. Even if you're not supporting the developer financially, you could try being more optimistic. Also, whoever decides to use financial support as their go-to since the developer is usually busy editing their game, it's their money, not yours. Let them be who decides what their hard-earned money is being invested into. It's really none of your concern what others use their money for. (FYI, I don't really care if this discussion was finished 20 days ago, I was just late to the party is all, since I'm busy with my job and other useful daily activities.) Have a good day.
Спасибо большое за игру мне очень понравился твой игру я буду ждать обновления 👍💪😎
