No break next month

Yes, that's what I'm trying to say.

Oh i see, you are first gonna do every Laura ending before Aya endings, although i assume in at least one of Lauras ending it includes Aya as well, the ending where Luca takes both Laura and Aya.

If you mean Aya’s route, it will probably take a while because I need to finish every ending for Laura’s route first. So maybe ten months? I’m not sure. For Aya’s ending in Laura’s route, could be between four to eight months depending on which ending I do first.

Oh i see, well that answers that. Do you have any idea when that route will be implemented or is it too early to tell at this point?

SubNero

I vote paid vacation.

Aya’s route is early in the story. If you decide to reciprocate her kiss during the business trip, you will start her route (it isn’t implemented yet). There’s also one of Laura’s endings where Luca will target Aya. I don’t want to go too much into details, but let’s just say that Luca doesn’t care about Aya if Harry doesn’t care about her.

Off topic but i have a question, without going too much into spoilers. But how are we gonna balance Aya getting corrupted by Luca? It seems like Laura is slowly getting corrupted more and more while nothings really moving with Aya, she is still infatuated with Harry without Luca making any moves on her?

In most civilised societies, vacations are payed :)) so I would hazard to say yours should be as well. hence no stoping the billing.

Yep, polling will get you some solid data on it. Really hard for me to say anything since I don't know your full situation, but it would allow you to do some math on the impact of a break.

I’ll think about it. I still think it’s not worth taking the chance of losing Patrons for it, but I do realize that a lot of creators do take multiple months to release an update. Maybe the best option would be to run a poll and see how popular/unpopular the idea of not pausing the billing is.

I’ve already decided that I won’t be taking a break next month, but your idea is really cute. Will keep it in mind if/when I decide to take one.

I said last time on this topic that most people probably don't mind you having a break once in a while, but now that I imagined next month being update free, I was kinda bummed. So I am thankful no break next month, but I still think you don't need to stress so much about the breaks and updates. Everyone knows you will be working even with no update. In the future, think about it, see what is best for you, tell people they can opt out for a break month and see what they think.

Nemris

Take a break whenever you need, i dont think you should even pause the patreon for that month, i dont think most people would mind still subbing for that month.

SubNero

Ofcourse it is good news that an update will be here next month too, but really if you need a break i will still be here when you return! :D

Alternatively, you could commission an extra CG that doesn't appear in the game so patrons are still getting something for their money. (You could even run a poll on what they want to see which could be fun.)

You've never missed an update so far. I think most patrons would be fine with you taking one month off without pausing billing given your track record. Just be upfront about it in advance - then people can make the choice to either unsubscribe for one month or continue to support you during the month of no content.
