Maybe a sequel on the cards?
Madek is working on a new game involving the sister, but they have said it's not a sequel. They were pretty tired of Two Weeks that's why it ended early with only six days. You can get some little teasers for the game on the (but some posts are locked).

I saw the new game... but regardless of that, there are some finishing touches that could have been added IMO to make this one more complete.

Who were the "They" that were tired of the game? The Patrons or the Development team?
Look, it were not the Best Adult Novel I have played so far, but it was pretty good.

I feel like I just started to get to know the Characters and then Boom, game is complete. (Kind of an back handed Compliment - I wanted more of the story)

Madek and I don't think they have a team. From the patron...

"This was the final episode and I must admit I'm relieved.
It was a real struggle to put an end to this game, you may or may not like this last episode but I honestly did my best.
I felt more and more frustrated each episode, too much delay (it created a lot of stress) and I wasn't happy about the quality overall...just too messy.
You gave me the chance to work on this project and I'm sincerely grateful.
I believe I can provide a much better product and right now my only desire is to apply what I've learned."

The creator was tired of the game. He felt the game wasn't good basically and decided to abandon it with a half-ass wrap up. Some of the complaints were about the game being in multiple parts. Choices not having the impact he thought they should. Something was wrong with the Mother's teeth. It wasn't getting the support he thought it should. You get the idea.

Two Weeks wasn't a big project. It was a pretty simple game, and the creator had loads of issues keeping deadlines and being content with his work. The next project sounds like it's a lot bigger, and I just fear it's going to get really messy. I mean, he didn't handle Two Weeks well at all.

The creator certainly has the ability to deliver a great game, but the issue is if he can be content with his work, make deadlines, and actually provide porn in a porn game. Two Weeks basically had no sex in it at all until he threw in the towel and released the half ass update to finish the game. So close to 1 full year with no porn in a porn game.

He complained about a lack of support, but decided to quit Two Weeks right when things were starting to pick up with the end of Ep 5. I firmly believe he was going to find a bunch of additional support once that happened. We'll never know though, and now he's back at a reset. Fresh game and another "slow burn"... Wonder how many months we'll be waiting for this time to finally see some action?

I truly hope this time it works out for madek, but it's going to be a while before I decide to help finance this new project.

I hate to be negative towards developers, me being a developer as well (Not porn games), but I can not help to agree with you.
The last update was actually pretty good. I was just left wanting more. I agree 100% with you that he left the game just as it started to get good.

I have not played the game from the start, so I would not know about waiting long for updates. I actually don't mind guys taking long, since I know all devs are different and ppl have different amounts of spare time. (And since I'm not a Patreon)

I just felt that this is a good game as it is, but it could have been a great game with about two more episodes. None of the character arcs actually closes off satisfactory, accept maybe the mother's story. It's just a pity for me.

Making a game takes a lot of time and money and after one year it was still not a profitable business, I barely had any salary.
From there I had two choices, rework TW or start with a fresh project.
It didn't take long to realise what was the right decision.
Now I'm working with someone as invested as I am and we have one year of knowledge to apply on a new game.
My point is, I never complained about the lack of support.

You've complained about it before. Maybe not directly, but you have in you're own way. I mean, you're pretty much doing it right now when you're talking about no profitability, and lack of any real salary. You've complained about being on "per creation pay", you've complained numerous times about your potato PC, etc.

Tell me, do you still not have a job? Since the start of the game you've said on your Patreon that you don't have a job. Let's look at this line from your Patreon, under "Why I should Donate?" It says "by suscribing It will keep me motivated to not give up and not quit the project." What did you do here? You quit the project.

You're a first time dev, who was actually doing pretty well for someone who was constantly delaying releases (How? run out of funds? I mean, you have no JOB so you got all the time in the world to work on it) and had no sex in a porn game after 10+ months... but that wasn't enough apparently.

I will say you've always thanked people for their support (which you absolutely should), but you've also basically shit on them at times also. Like when you openly come out and say your work is garbage, or a shit show. How you're relieved to finally throw this garbage away, and how you couldn't stand working on that shit for one minute longer. How do you think Patrons or even people on F95 feel when they see stuff like that?

You've mentioned that anyone supporting a first time project should see it as and investment in the dev. Why would I want to invest in someone who says and does things like that? Why invest in a dev who openly says on their Patron that they're motivated by money, otherwise they might give up and quit the project? You've already quit one project... it's like you're asking people to finance your trial and error porn (or in your case lack of) game creating education.

Not many can afford to create porn games full time right away, if ever at all. So if that's your ultimate goal, well you're not doing yourself any favors by saying the stuff you do, and abandoning projects.

It may not seem like it, but I am rooting for you, and truly hope you succeed here. I will even support you once the new game has progressed some, actually has some porn content in it with Jennifer, and / or I see you can consistently hit release windows and not delay over and over again.

Good luck to you, Madek.

So if I get it right, I'm greedy for money and disrespectful, you advise others to not support us but you're still interested to see what comes next and wish me good luck...alright then!
I don't want to argue, you have your opinion that's fine but please show some respect.

I mean, I just call it like I see it. You said those things I mentioned not me, and you have those things on your Patreon page. You want respect? The why don't you try earning it. Where's the respect to the Patrons and fans here who've supported, played your game, and given you feedback? You publicly trashing the game by saying it's garbage, a shit show, your relieved to throw it away, couldn't stand to work on it a minute longer, etc. is disrespectful to everyone who supported the game. People have given you money, taken time to play your game, and give you feedback about it, and you openly trash it. You disrespect all of them by doing that shit.

And I never advised people to not support you. I did however say people should wait until you show certain things or be cautious about supporting you. Which I truly believe, and which is exactly what I'm going to do when I say I want to wait and see actual progress and consistent updates first. Admit it man, you've done nothing to instill confidence in people about your work ethic. If you think you have then that's even more alarming and reason to avoid giving you anything.

BTW: If I thought you were shit, and I had no respect for you, then I wouldn't even consider supporting you in the future. I also wouldn't type up the long responses I do so frequently in this thread. You can take it however you want, but I'm being completely real with you right now. Ignore it if you want. I don't care.

I think it's a great game that showcases serious talent of the developer(s). Keep up the great work. I will support you on Patreon.

Is there no walkthrough for episode 1-4 and 6?
You can search just the thread your currently in for things like walkthoughs with the search bar up top. Day one to three is , no walkthough for four or six though (but there are comments around on what to do in six).

Wow, disappointing end for the sister. I enjoyed the surprise "caught you!" moment and was looking forward to seeing how we would go about repairing that. A perfect blue ball experience but I thought ah well we will get her next time.
Then "Complete"???? -_-

I definitely don't hold it against you. In my mind you would not need to re-work TW, for me it's fine as is.
It just does not have a very satisfying end. The MC does not explore his newfound sexual relationships any further.
Normally, that is the point in the game where the game starts getting interesting. The new dynamic between characters once the physical barriers are broken down.

I would have loved it, if at some stage in the future you could have returned to this game.
Regardless, the game was going along quite nicely. So enjoyed it up untill the end. The ending was just too abrupt for me.

The best of luck for your new game!!

Harsh.

I do not agree 100% but I agree with the general gist of this post. I'm not a patron, so my opinion on this is not as affected by slow delivery.
