I 100% understand. This was a crowdfunding event for them to work on the game. The issue is they're not working on the game. Redgart just started a Patreon so he's obligated to put out stuff for his Patreons rather than working on this project. Satyroom keeps falling behind on his Patreon stuff and some of his patreon's get pissy about it so he focuses on that instead of this. Everyone that is part of this collective has other obligations on things that make them money and they are not obligated to finish this. It has been over 3 and a half years since anyone from the development team has posted anything which is often a sign of a "we spent the money and have lost desire to keep going". This happens ALL the time unfortunately. It happened to a Kickstarter game called First Degree Murder, it happened to Eldet, and it happens all the time and the major sign that it is happening here is the lack of communication. Signs of a dead project is either being told by the devs that project has been minimal or straight up silence which is what we're experiencing now. I don't think they purposefully abandoned it or started the crowdfunding with intention of not finishing things, but they certainly aren't actively working on it over their other projects and I highly doubt we'll see both games completed. Their last post on social media was also over 3 years ago. They started out giving weekly update progression and now they can't even give a monthly or even yearly updates. I think it's understandable for people to feel like their money was stolen like what happens with other crowdfunding projects.

Whether intention or unintentional, they stole money from the gay community. The people in this collective have other obligations to their patreons or gumroad or commissions or whatever other ways they have to make money and are focused on those who give them money monthly before doing anything with this project meaning it's never going to be completed. I guess you could try reaching out to them on social media or if you're a patreon member for something or their discords or if you have any of their contact info. It's been years since they posted anything here so I don't think they care.
I take it that you starting a patreon means you now have obligations to fulfill for your patreon members meaning the redroom collective is dead. This group you were a part of stole money from the gay community, used, it, and now you all need to find other ways to keep making money which means the project is never getting finished.
I don't normally like AI stuff, but this was pretty well done. The guys were all my type and Haku and Dean were the first I went for, but went back for the rest. I liked the mystery aspect and the style. Also, atmosphere of the game was good. Sound and music also fit the game well. My biggest complaints are that the game was too short for the price (especially on Steam where I got it) and there weren't many NSFW scenes and some of those few scenes were too similar to each other and sometimes the view points were placed in a way where you can't see much (like the wine scene). I look forward to seeing what the future brings with the dev.
I played the game on Steam and I didn't have super high expectations because of AI and the demo featured only bears which isn't really my thing, but I noticed there were other guys when looking at the page and decided to give it a go because a lot of gay games tend to lean more twink which also isn't really for me and I felt there was still potential and I'm glad I did.
I'm really glad we had the college guys because that ended up being my favorite part of the game and even though I'm not a big fan of AI I have to admit this was very well done. I thought the voices were decent and the animations were far better than what I typically see with AI stuff. The story was also interesting.
My negatives are too many dream sequences ending in an interruption. The game was also too short and quick to finish. While the phone stuff started out interesting I didn't really care for it as the game went on and getting the notifications in the middle of things was distracting. I also didn't like trying to find the story pages as those stories are similar to stories you can find anywhere and the puzzle pieces were annoying to find. I don't mind rhythm games, but the songs went on so long I switched to story just to finish them quickly. I think instead of all the pages, puzzles, phone, and rhythm stuff the time and effort put into those could have gone into adding more to the story or maybe a scene with Noah which we didn't get much of.
Anyway, I believe the future looks bright for the series and can't wait to see more of Jake, Malcolm, and Trevor.
This was really good. Seems very ambitious. I just kind if wish some of the masculine guys also liked masculine guys, but most seem to prefer femininity which seems to be the way to go or you get locked out of many paths. It would also be nice to know what some of the items in the inventory are because it can be hard to tell by the small picture.
