Content

Hello everyone,

It has come to my attention that there has been a leak of my Patron-only content on a certain website.

Because of that, I would like to clear up certain things about the content I publish.

First of all, the schedule:

-Any new update will first be published for 9$+ Patrons, and the extra-scene version will be published at the same time for 20$+ Patrons.

-Five days later, the new update will be made available for 5$ Patrons. The same day as the 5$ release, the previous update will be made public.

-The extra-scene content will remain available only to 20$. It is meant to increase the value of the 20$ tier because, as time passes and new updates are released, pledging to the 20$ tier will get the Patrons more and more content.

Important notice

I know some people will be tempted to release the Patron-only content on other sites before I make it public.

I also know that most of my Patrons are wonderful people who will respect my schedule and the rules I have fixed because you want to see this game series thrive as much as I do.

However, if you are thinking about putting my Patron-only content on other platforms, remember that you are doing a favor to no one. Sure, there might be new content available on the spot, and that might seem great, but it also mean less motivation for the developer, less content, less features and less quality down the line.

A lot of my Patrons came to subscribe because they expect to have new content made available for them, and they stay because they know the will get new updates monthly. However, not respecting the schedule and publishing my content on other free platforms will mean a lot less Patrons (something I noticed for any previous HC1 leaks), and less funds for my current and upcoming projects.

I don't think of myself as money-hungry. I don't want to get rich, I don't even expect to live comfortably, I mainly want to make a living developing games of increasing quality for everyone to enjoy. Isn't that a dream for most of us?

That being said, I will definitely finish any project I have started, whatever happens, because I owe it to everyone supporting me, and I hope to be able to bring you more quality, more content, and more games (I have so many ideas).

So please, if you are thinking of spreading my content around, remember this message. I am working for everyone, but also for you.

Hope this did not sound too dramatic, that was not my intention. Also, I appreciate everyone of you, so please don't take this message the wrong way. This is not meant to blame my Patrons, my followers, or anyone that stumbled upon this message, not at all. I'd be quite the jerk if I were to lash out on people who have supported me thus far. I love you guys (and gals)! : )

Thank you for reading this message, and have a nice day!

Quick everyone grab em while you can! https://tinyurl.com/N-Taii-Leaked-Patreon-Files

Giving, 5$ to get a good game, it's not that expensive. People forget that not everything have to free, I don't really understand. If you want it free, you just have to wait, patience have a price, here, it's only 9$. I think that it's a reasonable price honestly. Keep up the good work ! Last update was really awesome btw :D

ntrpger

Didnt really like the last two updates, and since the 5$ one is kinda useless as the free one is just a day later. Im out

Noooo, not my nudes! I was hoping to keep those as a Patrons special for Christmas : (

N_taii
>>47877368

Thank you : ) I kinda knew this would happen at some point. Still, I was pretty disappointed when it did.

N_taii
>>47879289

Well, your reaction is kinda what I feared would happen. I'm sorry it wasn't your thing. May I know what you didn't like?

Orion9137

I little dramatic I'd say. Also calling out piracy of your work is practically asking potential pirates to then seek out said leaks btw.

N_taii
>>47882938

Sorry it sounded dramatic, it wasn't what I intended. I just wanted to put this out there and be honest with my feelings about it. It's just that I think the person who did it is actually a decent person (he's been supporting me for several months without leaking anything), and maybe they would understand that it isn't in their interest to leak. Maybe I'm just being naive, but I want to trust them : )

For the extra scenes on the $20 tier are there h-scenes in the game

N_taii
>>47885221

You get 4 extra-scenes so far(one will be added for each new update), and the version with all the extra scenes of HC1(There are 5 of them in total, I think).

xerance

can only speak for myself; I was a $5 tier for a looong time, but went down to 1 due to not agreeing with your extra scene policy. Couldn't justify paying 5 bucks over 1 bucks when neither tier will ever get access to the extra content. Thats a flawed system right there, I wouldn't mind going back to 5 bucks if we got the extra content an update later or even at full release but paying anything over $1 tier vs having to pay $20 per month is a big no no, and I cannot even imagine people whom can justify these expenses per month for an extra scene on a regular salary. IMO content gated behind big payments are stupid, and is literary better of going for 1 big payment at the full release than consistently support the development of the game. Anyone that supported in total over $20 should get access to all the content upon full game release atleast. just my 2 cent.

I mean my plan was to pledge at 5 for most of the time, and then pledge at 20 for 1 month at the completion of each game. I feel like that's what the system is made for, and it's not too bad imo. Of course it's simply a matter of opinion :)

N_taii
>>47897871

I understand your stance, and I respect it. However, if I may add something, in no way is the extra content scrapped from the base game. When I launched my Patreon page in September 2019, I decided to do a little extra-work so I could add an extra scene in there. Even if you don't pledge 20$, you should get a near complete game experience without noticing that there is anything missing. Besides, I find it completely reasonable when someone decides they just want to pledge 20$ at the end of the game, in the middle of it, or periodically to catch up on extra content, and not every month. I know that, in the end, it is merely a matter of point of view, but I'd like to think of it as a little extra added to the game if you decide to pledge more, not as base content locked behind a paywall, because that wasn't my intention. : )

Orion9137
>>47897871

Not to nit pick but on the latest update you put the stolen virginity scene of a character, who in the prologue was presented as a main love interest, behind the $20 tier. That's a pretty big cut.

Kul Man
>>47897871

I mentioned it already, but I would also implore you to reconsider it. It discouraged me from supporting before now. The last extra scene was the best scene in the whole game so far from my perspective. It feels kinda bad that it is gated. As others mentioned, it promotes paying just the 20 bucks once the game is done. Or waiting for a pirated copy.

xerance
>>47897871

That's the crux doe, your intention doesn't really matter. Fact is that there IS gated content behind a paywall. Downloaded the leaked content to see what people above where talking about; and after playing the last update, if that's is what you consider "extra" and not main content locked out of the game, you are straight up pulling the same shit triple A game developers does with their paid dlc with stuff that should have been in the game to begin with. Sorry if this comes out offensive but I out of princip heavily dislike this type of patreon system, no matter what intention you have, its still locked content. Wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot more than just me that frowns upon a system like this. In perspective I have pledged up to like 60-70 bucks per months split on multiple patreons before corona times started, and the only patreons I pledged over 10+ bucks for are projects that gives a good deal and logically make sense to pledge a few extra for benefit. This system is not one of them. Sorry for the rant, and good luck with future development. I'l continue to lowkey support the project as I truly think its a good game, but going any high makes absolutely no sense with a regular first world salary.

N_taii
>>47897871

I hear you, but currently more than 50% of my Patreon income comes from 20$ pledges. Now whether I would have gotten more or less with another system is up for debate, but I hope you understand why I can't suddenly change it around. @Xerance "you are straight up pulling the same shit triple A game developers does with their paid dlc with stuff that should have been in the game to begin with." I don't agree. If I hadn't created the 20$ tier with extra-scene, all the updates would be the same as 5$ one. I'm just working extra hard before each release to get another scene out as a bonus of sorts.

N_taii
>>47897871

@Orion9137 That's my fault. Solana's scene should not have been an extra, considering how much people like her storyline. From my point of view, as the developer, she is a side character through and through, and that's how I see her, same as Neve and Thania, even though Solana got a bit more "screen time" at the beginning. She should not even have gotten a portrait to begin with if it wasn't for a nice Patron paying for them. But I'm sorry about that. I'll be more careful from now on.

While I don't get why people would leak these things, my only suggestion is that you don't worry about it that much even though I understand it must suck (I can't, and won't say I know how it feels). These kinds of leaks are nothing new and the following you have achieved already takes that into consideration. Take me for example, I contribute with what I can, not because I don't know what site you're talking about, but because I think it's only fair that I subscribe with what I can for the amount of work and effort you put into your games. On a less shitty note, just want to say that I really enjoyed the last update and that it's really cool to be able to follow your progress as a game developer, seeing the quality of your work only going up with time, and that I hope you reach a number of patrons that allows you to keep it up comfortably.

Kul Man
>>47897871

@N_Taii thank you NTaii, I think that Solana being a great character, and the scene being so good really is the main crux of the matter. You can blame yourself for doing too good of a job heh. Some side character that we have not seen much of is a great target for that. Preferably a char without portrait, but I know there is not that many of them.

N_taii
>>47980983

Thank you for the kind message : ) I'm really glad you enjoyed the update! Besides, I don't really need to keep it up comfortably, as long as I can simply keep it up I'd be really happy^^

Mac

I'd say like 90% of all people supporting adult games on patreon come from these kind of sites, so I wouldn't be too upset about it.

N_taii
>>48101487

Oh, I would even say 95%, which is why I created most threads on those sites myself, and that I regularly publish public content for everyone to enjoy. : ) However, since I am already providing a lot of things for free, including full games upon completion, I would appreciate if people respected the few limits I have put in place. At least that^^

Nevermore_Tomo1

Prefer to pay your version then steal your work, hate that I miss the $20 scene but fine paying my version. ^^ Question how you already thought an idea for chapter 3?

N_taii
>>48166809

I do, actually. Well, I haven't got the whole story in my head yet, but I have a rough idea of the settings and the characters. I'll explain more in details at a later date : )

BleachBoy18

N_Taii, just wanted to let you know I understand your frustrations firstly. Secondly I decided to support you after seeing your work on those other sites. Otherwise, I would have never known and experienced your work. I do believe that those who can afford to will donate to and support you. Although you disagree with those sites, they do bring in new support for you - like me.

>>48388693

I posted an answer a few hours ago, but for some reason it didn't show up, so here I go again^^ I was basically saying that I don't mind pirate sites, I actually post most of my content myself on them. But there are a few Patrons-exclusive content, like early access and some extra-content, that I'd like to be kept Patron only : )

Amaranth

I will mention that i found this game thanks to the leak, otherwise i woudnt probably have found it, so i dont think leaks are just a negative even though it sucks for the the dev to not get compensated for his work. I migth pledgde a little higher down the line to make up for the fact i got here thanks to the leak.
