I agree with this, Ringman is the type of game that has me turning over every rock trying to find what other secrets might be hiding. And you are very on point with saying that the haters dont realize how much work is put into projects like these.

It hurts to hear that you arn't feeling well, you should work on whatever bring you joy. Personally I wouldn't remove masuo or ringman elements from the other games, I like ringman the most, but I played HTA and LST because of ringman. The connections to ringman are a fundamental part of those games and they have been from the start. 

It would create more work to remove them but also I feel like it would hurt you a lot to have to cut them out. You have been working on ringman for a long time and if it makes you feel good to create it fully then keep going. In my opinion the more you show of ringmans story, the more people can appreciate the connections in the other games. I love the interconnected nature of the games and you should keep them. Dont let haters change your grand plan, trust yourself first and foremost.

You need to chill and take a breath. Everyone is here because they love these games, could a talentless fraud bring in an audience like that? Of course not, Your original plan of working on LSHRM for the next update then going back to HTA after was a fine plan. Whatever direction you choose to go is your own decision to make, but whatever that decision is you gotta stop beating yourself up. We are often our own worst critics so let me say it instead, you do good work and I respect it quite a lot, you have gotten a lot better at this since when you started so just step back for a second, breathe and take things one step at a time. Everything will work out.

I said, If you have to choose one. Crimson doesn't have to delete either one, ill play both as the updates come out. Just wanted to say I LOVE ringman way more.

Personally I would rather you cut HTA and keep ringman if you had to choose only one.

Is this a joke? Ring man is my favorite project by far

JIYON SITE ASSISTANT!!! WOOP WOOP!

I have no doubt! thanks for all the hard work!

Absolutely love the direction the game is going, the alternate timeline stuff is super cool. Really allows you to explore a ton of different stuff and any time you wanna not have that be canon you just jump back over.

Is tsukiko supposed to be in the game? old screenshots showed her in the asylum but i dunno where she is? I'm in timeline 2 rn.

Edit(nevermind, she is the friend that is watching the catgirl, just talk to her after)

As far as I can tell she only has a masturbation scene, if you fuck someone near the toilet stall she will go back inside and touch herself.

there are 3 base animations when you lie about the condom, 1 when you get the condom, and a double team animation when you use the clone thing you get from the alt version of the household map via the lamp puzzle, check in the corners of ryokos room its in the shadow on the left. If she sees you using it though she will take it away and you gotta pick it up again.

That's normal, its just a measure of how far you have come since then, you got a lot better at what you do. I think this most recent project is definitely your best work to date and with all the threads bouncing around in the story of the game I'm sure update 4 is going to be wild.

you already did, you climbed through the vent to the cafeteria room.

new update just came out man, quality takes time.

Oh thanks man! BTW did you find the timeline distortion thing Crimson sneak peaked on their youtube? I was wondering if it was in the update or not.

what does the underwear do? I got em and cant find anything.

Bug report, less tall lady while at home base is transforming into the shy with no mask and less tall lady disappears until recapture, also dying by fucking lady momo too much will break the game pretty significantly. The after death cutscene plays like normal but the game does not continue as normal.
Also is the poker game in the update? or am i simply missing it.

I agree about increased pressure with having a patreon, but its a balancing act, there's so much piracy that I feel like development for games like this needs to be on the subscription model for development, even if there is not a reward tier or gated content people would like to support either way. Plenty of devs pause subscription charges when they feel they had a bad month or two. 

there is one floating around in the thread here somewhere

Hey, wanted to take the time to say all the work you put in to streamlining the inputs is very appreciated, I like that everything is just on the phone ,  do you have a patreon or anything or a tip jar?
