Will the whole game eventually be released on itch, or will there be a Steam version we can buy?

The game is great, pretty hot, my FBB fetish was triggered hard... but seeing content locked behind Patreon does not give me much hope for getting the best of this game.

If this game is completed, and put on Steam, just from THIS, I would likely buy it in a heart beat. If this game comes to itch in full, eventually, I will gladly wait, happy in the knowledge.

But if the full game is meant to be a purchased product, but the only way to do so, is subscription site, I'll have to give this one up, and move on.

Hey, thanks a lot! Really glad you liked the game. 😄 I’m working hard to make each update better than the last. The plan is to release the full version on Steam (and probably Itch too) around the end of next year.

Patreon support seriously helps speed things up and keeps the project alive - it’s tough making a game solo, so every bit of help goes a long way.

I definitely do not decry a solo amateur dev having a patreon, it is just something I dont do because of a personal opposition to something like proprietary assets of a game studio, being used in a situation like modding, for paid mods ( I do not care if you are one lone geek girl in her college dorm, or a billion dollar commercial studio operation, if you make something, other people circumventing your property rights to profit off it with minimal effort of their own, is bad, and bad for gaming).

But this game is fantastic, so I am more than happy to BUY it, eventually, or make some kind of one off donation through a platform which is less susceptible to being used by people for things like the above, so long as it mean I get ALL content (killed me seeing scenes gated behind patreon when I played this lol).

Just a great game and I hope you keep going and this project does not fizzle out yo lol

Also, I have a lot of locked scenes for each character, are these Patreon locked, or did I miss a ton?

Are the scenes dependent on the route? Like, I went Lust with Ruby, and Domin with Jade and Lily... did that lock some scenes which are only accessible if I go a different route, make some different choices?

Also, SOME scenes seemed locked simply because their scores were too low, and I got a notice in game saying so, which I assume means a scene would trigger if it had been a higher score... BUT, it seemed like even when making optimal choices, there just was NOT ENOUGH to get those scores up. Was I missing something, or are they deliberately gated behind scores one cannot achieve yet, but WILL be able to in the future?

Yeah, I totally get you. Those big corporations love milking players with overpriced expansions, lazy DLCs, or “modders” selling stuff made mostly from someone else’s work.

For me, Patreon is just a way to fund development and keep the project alive. It’s more like early access support than corporate monetization.

About your gameplay question => Different routes (Love, Lust, Domin...) lead to unique scenes and dialogues with each girl, and certain dialogue choices can unlock bonus favor points.

There is an optimal route that lets you max out every girl’s score, but it’s intentionally designed to be pretty challenging. For your first playthrough, I’d recommend focusing on two girls to get a better feel for how the system works.

Ahh, I might rerun it, it was relatively short, and try a few different options.

TBH Lust/Dom/Dom seemed like it would be the hottest and most fun... though I stumbled on those actually... that is to say I do not know (but I guess you can tell me) if there is all three routes for all three girls?

I just made the choices when first meeting each girl, that seemed most like what I would do and say out of the two or three options, you know? Which set Ruby on Lust, and Lily and Jade on Dom.

But if I can set them all on Love, I have played enough AVNs to know that is often the option that gets you the most rewards short term (until you get penalised for trying to play a Harem route but using the girls hearts deep in late game :P :P ), so I will try to make Ruby and Jade fall in love with me, and see what that gets me.

Thanks for the reply, it is good to know that there is more content than I saw, I breathed a sigh of relief when I checked the gallery, but was scared some of it was not in the free version yet.
