Decided to randomly check on the progress of this game and saw that it's On Hold. I read the announcement and I can understand Cheeky's issue of essentially making below minimum wage income from the game. We all need money to live after all. The part that I disagreed with is the solution. I think if the main issue is below minimum wage income per hour, then the obvious solution is to spend less hours on the game until the completion of the game. It will slow the update progress, but it'll increase the income per hour rate for better work-life balance.

Once the game is completed, then they could either focus on fixing for Steam (pause payment), or simply start on a new game that could've been developed Steam-ready from the very beginning (keep payment going).

It's quite disappointing to see a game that was among my favorite from the start (can't believe it's already 5 years! how time flies) now having a chance of potentially unfinished. In the end, it's Cheeky's game and he's well within his rights to do whatever he wants with it. I can only hope that things will work out for him (and Cell of course).
From more than a year ago, and it's still relevant. I'm sad.

Played the beta, enjoyed the upgraded renders for the first 3 episodes. Been ages since I played this from the start, so some freshness was still there.

But otherwise, agree that the game should've been shorter. There were still some great scenes through the episodes, but I never really got to really caring about the dad's will subplot and who Dizzy was, and how it affected the whole dynamic, and that took up a lot of time. Still looking forward to Ep25 putting a bow on the game and wrapping it up properly.

And Cheeky is really risking it all doing this full-time now. Burning yourself out doing 2 jobs is no way to live, but having been in the wilds before, it'd take a lot for me to give up the stability of a regular paycheck till my savings are properly beefy. The patreon take is decent, but not easy street money. And not sure how lucrative Steam is for niche adult games yet. Hope it works out for him and the team.

After looking at the Patreon numbers, I can't say that I sympathize too much with any complaints about low wages. 4300$ per month is 3x! what the dev of Thirsty for my Guest earns. And he releases 1000+ render updates every two months with dozens of animations. 4300$ is top 1% earnings for an avn.

Redoing the renders like a maniac can lead to burn out. Best mental health when enjoying the work. Upgrading images is a grind.

I agree with your view that redoing the renders like a maniac can lead to burn out. Best mental health when enjoying the work. Upgrading images is a grind.
I agree 100% with this. I wonder if this started because he wanted/needed money or if it started as a hobby project that became a hit and more of a business. Not that it matters maybe. I just think that if I had two jobs I would make clear that this is a hobby thing and I won't quit my other stabile job for it.

Also I have my own idea about it. I think it's possible that he doesn't know for sure how to close it. How to make the final blow, and that maybe he wants it way too spectacular. As if there is such a thing nowadays?
So to delay it and try to come up with it he releases this on steam instead. I think if this is the case he will abandon the project once it has caught up. As if he didn't figure it out by now, why would he by then and he will be kinda out of it anyway. As he were just redoing renders more or less for years to come.

Hope I'm wrong of course! That he will eventually really truly finish it. I just can't see the light in the tunnel right now. I just see that miking cow that someone posted just a moment ago, haha..

Lmfao, this game still alive? I think this one been in development for 5 years and we hardly get a update nowadays. I wouldn't give af about dev excuses considering there are thousands of other devs working and doing the same thing as him. (Some of them already finished their games). This was sadly one of my favourite game, I liked the characters writing and the plot was decent. Tho I am not interested in playing 25 min every years (if lucky). Main fault of this game was having like 8/10 characters with each having separate routes and vast majority of branches and paths. Any fool knows that it be too much work unless they have a clear idea or working as a team. I am honestly surprised that people are still defending this game, probably sentimental values. I bet this one will turn up like the icstor one as well. Most importantly, it didn't required a rework.

Following true to the name, the cheekygimp continues a game that should've been done year(s) ago.

Ok wtf happened to the incest tag and patch?
The tag is gone probably because it was never official and didn't ever fit naturally with the story as it was never the intent of the creator. WTHI is not one of your bog standard pr0n VN "I say away from home for years but I came home to live with the woman who raised me... my landlady and her three daughters." situations.

So, what, this "season one" thing is just the first 40% of the game with slightly different models?

did they remove ins tag?? cause u now there the mod and still updated
yes, yes they did. But the S1 doesn't really add anything new anyway other than reworked renders so no new patch needed, it's still ch24.
No, there wasn't. The mod is fan made (it shows) and even have to change the story for adding that content in a non incest game.

Characters won't be updated but renders are and so is script/variables/dialogue/new scenes :unsure:
hmm, this is... disappointing.

the story has competed its arc, the relationships are at their apex, all that was left was plot resolution and character endings.
instead the author wants to start over? Steam is one of my preferred ways to support devs, but this is not the way to entice me.

I neither feel like starting over or waiting for another slow drip. maybe i'll check it out in 2030 when he finally decides to end it. /shrug
