I agree. Of course there is nothing wrong with trying to appeal to your core audience. But, that begs the question: If someone is making demands to change your project, are they your core audience?
Sorry Lipstor, could you elaborate by what opposite audience means? From my understanding, when you say opposite audience, you are referring to people who would have content rather than futa in the game, is that assumption correct? Also, an additional question, are you a native English speaker or is English a second, third, etc. language that you know?
To Lipstor: Okay, thanks for the clearing that up. Also, I was only curious because I felt that there was some miscommunication among persons involved. I just noticed small errors with your typed English that made me think that English may not have been your native language. What I'm implying is that there may be information literally lost in translation.
I would just like to ask another question in regards your comment about you being with or knowing Mofu for a year. I know this may be a bit personal, but how have you known Mofu? Are you two friends or business partners? I ask because I think clarification may be necessary. I've noticed a lot of harassment here in the comments and I'm afraid that this sort of environment could be harmful to not just the dev, but everyone involved and interested with this game. Of course, if this question, or any other question, is too personal for you to answer, publicly or otherwise, I understand your want for privacy.
Anyways, from my understanding, Mofu is not a native English speaker either, and you seem to be a sort of translator to help get across some of the ideas Mofu has to other language speaking audiences, is this correct? I've come to this conclusion since it seems there's been a lot of breakdown on communication here and I suspect multiple language barriers, mistranslation, and miscommunication may be the culprit here and that you seem to speak on Mofu's behalf quite frequently.
Okay Lipstor, thank you. Hopefully clearing this up can help the situation here. Like I said before, I just hope to see a promising game completed and result in a product that is primarily satisfactory for the developer. The idea being that if the developer is satisfied with the end result, others will also be satisfied. After all, Mofu is an independant developer, so they don't have to worry about deadlines, publishers pushing for changes in content, or shareholders' bottom lines. So in this case, I think that the best choice of judgment and the one that should get final say-so in development, should be Mofu themself.
As for you Lipstor, it seems the negative comments and general hostility towards you may be pressuring you into responses? While it's a valiant effort to try to respond to everyone, I think if people are calling you names or otherwise being beligerent, perhaps you should withhold replying to them, at least until you able to think of a way to reply that will attempt to de-escalate the situation. I'm not saying you haven't made mistakes, though. Although, from what I read, I doubt that any mistakes or misconduct that you have committed are serious enough to warrant how harshly people are treating you. If they want answers, they should reply in a polite and concise way, such as I have. Of course, I know not everyone is capable of making long structured responses such as this, but at the very least courtesy should be exercised. Avoid using sarcasm or vague speech, try to be concise with what you say, even if it means that you have to research a word or two, a few seconds to make a clear message now can save hours of argument later.
Anyways, sorry for my long messages, but I just wanted to do my best to fully explain my thought and logic. Ultimately this is a forum for a cool NSFW Futa themed game and I don't think people should be getting so heated over this. Passion is good, but it doesn't justify poor behavior. I think it may be a good idea to take a break and relax for a short time, tensions seem to be high. I'm also willing to hear out other people's thoughts if time permits, I just want to get things back into a civil and positive atmosphere. Thank you for reading.
Lipstor, I do have more questions. Could you get Mofu to confirm your claim of them saying it is okay for you to reply on their behalf? Or at the very least, provide a quote and source indicating that Mofu is okay with you replying on their behalf? Most of what you are saying seems logical and makes sense, but it's a bad habit to only take people's words at face value. I just want a source of confirmation for your claim, I feel it is important for providing context and confirming that what is being said is true.
I would like some proof of these piracy forums as well. I would understand not wanting to provide a direct source to the forum as that could raise unwanted attention to that topic. If you'd like, I could provide an alternative contact to send something like that if you don't want to post the sources to these alleged piracy forums here. I just find it strange that there would be piracy for a game that is currently in a free open beta. Piracy is usually an issue of access and distribution, and I don't see how it's more convenient to pirate the game in its current state versus just downloading the current version directly from its creator's download link. Unless the issue here is that the people pirating it are trying to hide who is actually developing the game and claim it as something of their own creation; if that's the case, putting more branding of who created the game into it could fix that issue. I don't have a lot of information on this, so I can't really provide much more insight on that topic.
