A long as patrons like to eat shit, nothing changes. It is good to see the content flow, but it is kinda dull mostly.
Huge part of game mechanics are still broken despite tons of promises to change that.
But is seems, patrons are more happy with adding over9000 side characters with no actual connection to the game itself ("DLC characters"), than with expanding actual game.
I personally think patrons and discord members of these H devs purposely do all they can to derail games as much as possible. Outside of some die-hard fanboyism I see in the Triple A gaming space, I've never seen so many people willing to throw money at creating or supporting ideas that keep a game from progressing.
DLC is meant for an already completed game.
Extra merch outside the game is meant for an already completed game.
For the love of all that is holy and unholy, stop supporting these obvious cash grabs and derails and tell the devs to finish the game first. We don't need more knight types, we don't need another new system that will break the game even further, we don't want extra weapons and skill to compliment a battle system that's not that fun to begin with. Finish the stories, knock out the bugs, touch up the h scenes, add more variety to h scenes for some races and release the finished game already. THEN you can go back and do the extra stuff.
