So I have been thinking about things over the last few weeks, nothing bad, I will still be continuing to make this game. I'm determined to make this game great and finish it. Which brings me to what I have been thinking about.
The game in all is just mostly story and looking up girls skirts...that's it.
While most things are going great and all I have been missing the main part of what a good game is. Besides the event's that most size games have, like interact with this and a event happens, may cause death or the ability to be able to climb onto the girls as they sleep with the time system I don't make use of much. There is also things like the crafting system, the factions and not to mention the battles. The battles I find are really lacking and are just punching bags for characters with skills that lack.


So what I have decided to do, is go back...
Fix things and make it complete from the start and have everything in that should be in. So there will be changes.


Then about other things, with Patreon. I don't charge and have not for maybe a year. (Only those who join get charged to this I can't stop.) This was always because I started this game for fun. While it did give me a big push to keep going with it, i'm thankful of that. Having to provide updates on a weekly schedule even if I didn't really do much and thinking what pictures to show etc is not something I like, so I am sorry for not providing much.
At this point I will still continue my patreon, but unsure about it. (Saying this if I was to stop it, those with benifits will still have them. I plan to name every Nanokin after everyone. I don't think the scene at the start suits it and causes lag for some people.) 

I do still want to provide updates, just not being force to. I do have a discord that I can do this for.
What are your thoughts?

Don’t force yourself to do your game too hard. The main goal is to have fun at the end of the day. For now, i was having fun with the main story, and the "lack of content" doesn’t trouble me that much.

As we know when you redid everything the last time, it did take a lot out of you. So pace yourself if you do go back to add more to the older chapters. Maybe jumping between new and old chapters could keep you on the right track. But if you are hitting a wall, stop, take a breather, go do something fun, maybe walk away for the time. Just make sure not to burn yourself out, and hurt yourself while working on this awesome game.

As long as the game isn't dead just take as much time as you need. You've already got me hooked on it so waiting isn't a problem for me.

Discord is a good way to keep in touch with people quicker than Patreon, on smaller stuff. But it can take a lot out of you if you're not careful. You could try it, see how it works out. Don't rush for our sake. It's your game. We'll be happy to play it whenever you are ready.

I think the story you have going is really good so far which keeps us coming back for updates. If you go back and start adding more "gameplay" content then I personally would like to see more minigame and battles with the giant girls, either playing as them fighting tinies or vise versa. Different size interactions are the meat and potatoes of any GTS game so I think that should always be the focus with combat and mini games since a lot of people are trying to speed run to that content anyway. I also think what you have is pretty good and that you could just keep progressing the story and incorporate your new ideas as you go along. There will always be time after the story is finished to go back and polish or add content. I think Discord is a good idea and personally don't mind continuing the Patreon updates either. You've been very fair about charging people so I think you've been doing a good job!

I'm mostly here because of the story. It's really interesting and seems to get better with each installment. I think what you're doing right now is plenty. I'm having fun with the main story. And like Bombur said, you can test your ideas with each update while getting feedback. There's will always be time to go back and add content, so don't stress too much about it. And if you do decide to go back and update everything again, please pace yourself. I think most of us here are willing to wait as long as needed for you to finish this wonderful gem. So take your time, enjoy yourself, and don't burn yourself out over it.

Thank you, and yes...this is what I started this project in mind and I still want to be seeing it as something fun than just a job after I finish my day job. As much as just story is, I think it will be better as an adventure.

HP Studios

Well I do still plan on finishing the next chapter but like you said between. I have been trying to take small breaks, watching anime ect. I haven't hit burnout thankfully, but I'm doing what I can to prevent, as I want to finish this game, but I should also do the best I can regardless of amount of time. So thank you for being understanding.

HP Studios

The only way this game will go dead, if I go dead. I plan to finish this one way or another.

HP Studios

I have had the discord for a good 2 years and I know with it I can spoiler things for those who don't want to see particular things. But yes I will be going at a more slower pase, but I don't plan to release till I'm 100% happy and not because its almost the end of a month.

HP Studios

I do plan to have character side quests and others that could involve a girl above as well as battles with giantess. I don't think I'm good with minigames but we shall see, I do have some in mind I wanted to do. While size interactions are a staple I want more than just peeking up. Stuff like being sat on, eaten etc I want for variety and fun. I think one thing that blocks progression is levels and skills to mob battles. I could have just gone ahead and left them out but then it would just be reading a story.

HP Studios

Thanks. I'm glad you have enjoyed the story so far. It's not so much new ideas, more character development and environment. But yes I will pase myself and once it is ready there will be more than enough content for you all to enjoy.

One way you might manage to help with burnout, especially if it is related to writing new story beats is to perhaps create a dev/test version where you can test new mechanics and toy with things that aren't as repetitive like adding more dialogue and the like and instead expanding upon mechanics. I am not super familiar with the RPG maker scripting, but I do believe you can copy files from one set to another so perhaps creating a test area as a hub to test various reactions could help create new ideas as well as give older sections some flare or added elements to make some things seem less redundant. If there is any major thing I would like to see in regards to additions I would love more mouth interaction, the area in all the instances seem rather empty. Also with regards to the level ups from the comment above I think a way you could approach it would be using the tome/book level area to unlock skill books for characters of differing types and allowing players to walk up to the girls and have them eat him to level them up that way. It would allow for more character interaction and let you see more of their personality and how they view the mc. The reason I recommend something akin to a test build is so you don't have to focus entirely on an entire version update but instead on small test patches that can be implemented to the bigger picture and more opportunity for feedback without having the players run through the whole story in case you add a new mechanic later on and want some testing or feedback. I apologize for the wall of text, but I hope something in here might be of use for your later developments and could perhaps help you segment your work into something less daunting.

All I have to say is, "Do what you want, we support you." However, I mean, if one day you can't hold on anymore, can you give the girls a good ending?:)

HP Studios

I have a test map to play around with things so I should be fine. I do want more mouth events as I love vore. Though the main story has been a little more straight forward than that. Don't worry though there will be events or side missions involving that. Funny enough I was originally going to have the walk up and eat, but then wanted a more unaware approach. I did however return to that idea with the tea and Emily/Wendy. I do thank you for your comment and I will continue to work on the game to make it complete and fun.

HP Studios

Thanks. I do plan to finish regardless.

I honestly enjoy the gameplay, it really sinks-in that Aku is in a game world, not to mention it's fun too
