Thoughts on Lust Quest: Cannie

Hey everyone who follows me (that's nearly 2000 of you, wow!) just wanted to drop a note about how thankful I am that people still find my games and projects AND still enjoy them.

It's been almost 5 years from release and even though I made a sequel and then a remake of this game, this version is STILL my most popular game on itch.io next to Lust Kingdoms (my very incomplete yet somehow also still popular pure idle game). Seriously, lets talk metrics here for a second. In those 5 years we've had:

  • Over 100k browser plays
  • Nearly 4000 downloads
  • Over 180k views
  • Nearly 10,000 weekly impressions on average (seriously, how)
  • It's been included in over 2.8k collections

All of which is to say that I have no idea *why* people like this game so much but don't like the Ice or Remake. If I had to take a random stab, I'd assume that the brevity of dialogue, light lewdness, and quick pace to completion all work together to make something that is just an easier package to enjoy, but I wanted to open this to all of you who follow me and care to talk about it.

I'm working on a few other new projects but nothing's hit me with an intense desire for creation/completion like the old Lust Quest games did. So I'm opening this question to you all:

What did you like about the game, what did you want to see more or less of, what kinds of things do you want to see in the future?

I just want to make fun things people like and to hear from all of you who think my games are worth playing.
