Be sure to play through Over the Moon if you get the chance. Your question will be answered at the end of Chapter One in the final game of The Rose Garden trilogy.
What happened to the original completed version? I know I'm not the only one who purchased it on here. It would be really messed up if we spent that money to only have access to a demo.
itch.io is no longer allowing adult games to be sold through them. Other developers selling their games on itch.io are selling direct which means all their transactions go directly through PayPal. PayPal does not allow the sale of adult material, so many of those people are having their PayPal accounts shut down.
This is not a decision I have made. This is a decision itch.io has made. As I said in the note on the main page of A Petal Among Thorns, if you contact me through Discord I can get you a copy.
How do you even search for the games on Patreon? I ever only see the pages and can't even take a look at the games to know if I would even like them.
Like I saw a collection of games from something like Friendship with Benefits or how that comic game was called. Anyway, a list but nothing specific to click on, but I'm pretty new here and visited Patreon for the second time.
Usually you'll find an artist elsewhere and they will lead you to their Patreon. The actual website, Patreon, doesn't do a great job of letting creators showcase what they're working on, and they don't have a way to browse artists.
I'm pretty sure Friendship with Benefits is a My Little Pony adult parody game. It actually did very well on Steam. So much so that I believe they're working on a sequel.
Advertising isn't something most of us can afford, so it is a very niche market. itch.io used to be a friendly place where adult creators could showcase their works. They've recently become more hostile towards us. There are some pirate sites that can introduce you to new works, but they're essentially stealing from creators.
Yeah, it's a tricky situation. I don't know that I have a great recommendation on how to search Patreon for great artists. The only suggestion I can make is to look at https://graphtreon.com/top-patreon-creators/adult-games. That'll show you the top adult gaming creators. Sadly, I'm not in the top 50.
Oh please no, do they make it really difficult for even adults to get these games now? I finally tried to use these sites and they try to ruin them?
Well thank you. How does it work with Patreon? Do I always have to pay again only for a new update?
My biggest fear always was (probably stupid), that patreon kinda hides the "stop supporting" button and keeps you paying for a longer while till you figure it out.
I understand. Patreon and SubscribeStar are my only options right now, so I rely on them almost entirely for income. I know a lot of people want to buy a game once and be done with the transaction process, however there are no places I can currently sell some of my work. I'm truly sorry about this. It's something entirely out of my control.
A quick Google search brought up the process for cancelling a Patreon subscription. But yes, you have to pay again for every update. It's only a couple dollars, and you can always wait until a game is finished, then subscribe, grab the game, and cancel. Currently on my Patreon, you can get three complete games for $3. It's an absolute steal.
This is just the world we live in right now. Companies are going to tell you what you're allowed to enjoy. All we can do is fight the good fight and push back however we can.
So very sad that ITCH has come to this. One benefit on Patreon is that is allows ANNUAL, as opposed to MONTHLY, support, if you choose to allow it. As cruel as this sounds, I hope ITCH feels the pain of not making enough money because they have terminated specific DEVS like yourself.
They certainly had the option to reach out to me and we could have worked something out. Whatever the issue was, I would have been happy to compromise. Sadly enough, they're not the only ones to mistreat people who work with adult content. It's very common.
There are three games in the series. A Petal Among Thorns and A Moment of Bliss are both complete, and they're about 5 - 8 hours long each. The third game in the series, Over the Moon, is currently in development. You can get all my works by subscribing to my Patreon or SubscribeStar. Unfortunately, itch.io will no longer allow me to sell my works through them.
Unfortunately I'm having difficulty finding a platform that will allow me to sell some of my works. For now, yes, Patreon and SubscribeStar are the only ways to get A Petal Among Thorns. I know a lot of people have issues with Patreon, but they've been one of the few platforms that haven't hassled me about my work. Yet.
The demo is the first of 5 chapters. You can get a copy of the full game by subscribing to my Patreon. You can also join my Discord for more prompt responses. Hope this helps.
What have you done to Suzi?! Lockheart you're a heartless monster after seeing that you killed Suzi I don't want to continue it anymore. I can't bare it at all because suzi deserves TLC bro. You're wicked sick man for killing Suzi in this series😢 If im the MC im going to kill all the titania personels and Eleanor. And i will do everything just to revive her and i will give her all the things she deserves😭 but you're work is really good, all i can say is that it is better than perfect amigo but still you taken away Suzi from me😭
"ravage me!" "do not relent" "i will fill you with my seed!" I mean it's a good game but jesus cut back on the wizard dialogue willya, so much limp inducing informative quacking instead of short and emotional dialogue.
Writing dirty talk during sex scenes isn't as easy as it looks. Some people appreciate it though, so I do my best. If you don't want to read the lewd scenes, you can simply look at the pictures and skip the text using the CTRL key.
I appreciate the kind words. I'm happy to hear you're enjoying my work, MauiJesse. The Remaster for APAT is coming very soon. It should be around before the end of the year. Thanks for your support!
Is it possible to join the Discord? It keeps saying "Whoops, Unable to accept invite". Do I have to join Patreon first or is there some error on my end? (Love your writing btw)
I'm glad you've enjoyed my writing. Much more to come.
If you're having trouble joining the Discord, I'd recommend trying from a different browser. If that doesn't work, trying direct messaging me at Lockheart#1998. Sorry for the trouble.
I stumbled over itch.io for 2-two weeks ago, and this novel caught my interest, and actually my first purchase. And with it, I am hooked so badly it's almost a pleasure. Adore your work, Thanks.
Love the demo of this. Could you put this on steam? I want to get it but I have most of my stuff on steam plus I only ask for steam credit for birthdays so it would be a lot easier to just use the credit I already have. Same with the other games
Unfortunately A Petal Among Thorns was banned on Steam. I don't think APAT will ever be on Steam now. I'm going to try to get the sequel on Steam, but it's likely they're going to ban it too. Sorry about that.
I always appreciate praise for my work. Thank you so much. I just released a new Chapter for A Moment of Bliss so it is 3 out of 5 chapters complete. Hope you enjoy it too!
I thoroughly enjoyed this. I've gone through a few VNs, but this is the first one I purchased without a demo or anything, and I have to say that I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I'm looking forward to Bliss being completed, but I'm going to wait until it's fully finished before purchasing it.
So i just played through the demo and absolutely loved it, so i wanna buy the game and was wondering if theres like a bundle or smth for all your games that i can buy instead of buying them one by one.
Also, can i transfer the progress from the demo to the full game (on Android)?
I don't currently have a bundle deal. A Petal Among Thorns will be part of a trilogy. I'm currently in the middle of finishing up the sequel. Once all three games are complete, I will have a bundle option for them. That's over a year away unfortunately. Avalon and A Petal Among Thorns are my only completed games so far. I'm half way through making A Moment of Bliss. Those are the only three games that cost money. All my other works are short stories, and they're free.

Quick question is there any chance of getting a pregnancy sence or babies making scenarios just out of curiosity
Kind regards titans66
Hey Titans66,
Be sure to play through Over the Moon if you get the chance. Your question will be answered at the end of Chapter One in the final game of The Rose Garden trilogy.
Thank you for your support!
Do you know where I can find it?
You can pick up a copy by subscribing to any tier of my Patreon or SubscribeStar.

Is remaster coming here for those whom bought it already?

All tiers on my Patreon have access to all my works. Enjoy! :-)
Hell yeah the demo blue balled me
Lol! Be sure to check out the sequel after you finish APAT.

You're right, i could do that. Don't mean to come off as disrespectful, your game obviously made an impact so gl in the future.
very true well said it can be one of the more difficult parts imo
Your work is awesome. Your lines paint a very unique-different picture. Thanks for it.
I appreciate the kind words. I'm happy to hear you're enjoying my work, MauiJesse. The Remaster for APAT is coming very soon. It should be around before the end of the year. Thanks for your support!

I'll have to hit you up on discord about the purchase. I haven't been keeping up with much lately unfortunately

There are five chapters in the game.

Hey,

Also, can i transfer the progress from the demo to the full game (on Android)?
Thanks again for making these games!
Hey Johnny!

Thank you for playing!
Ah i see, thanks for replying.
Is there an option for transferring progress from the demo to the full game?
You shouldn't need to transfer. I believe the saved game file will show up in the full version. You should be able to just load right into it.
Awesome, thanks again and keep up the great work :)
