Ok. Let me point a few things out to you so you can see your own Red Flags. This is a wake up call because I chose to care.
1. Description says within:
A game made for a hentai game jam planned on being worked on only over the course of 2-3months!
2. This game has NO hentai in it whatsoever to this day on itch for the players!
"And you say it was made for a hentai Jam?. Wow, don't make me laugh. What a joke!"
3. Over a year ago...
Player: "When's the next update?"
Dev: "Soon."
365ish days ago...
Player: "How long till next update?"
Dev: "Soon"
361ish days ago...
Player: "Any update on this?"
Dev: "Just a little longer."
Let's fast forward now...
60ish Days ago...
Player: "Any Update on this?"
Dev: "Not at the moment, still taking out time with it. Updates will come."
(Still no up to date preview.) I could keep going...
Ok... so, WHEN!?
You know how infuriating that is at this point to see?. 🥺
See a pattern!?. You should!... 😔
You know what else does this sort of thing?...
A SCAM!!!
All I see is excuse after excuse after excuse with NO progress or updates for over a year on a game that was said to "build this game out after the next two or so months". IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR! That's a complete disregard the the games very description and goal.
HELLO, ANYONE HOME!?.
Are you getting what I'm saying?. 🙄
(Ohhh, so I guess that means you're done with it already seeing as it has been over a year now! So you've been LYING to these people all along!? Where's the rest of the game you say exists!?.)
I have to ask,
Are you a scam artist?. A scammer?. Is that what you want to be and people to remember the dev team as?.
This whole thing now comes off as a scam to me.
Rhetorical questions btw, don't bother answering that with more bs words. You've repeated the same bs enough as it is. You're already a bad liar for now.
"Soon" was 9 months ago. I could have had a baby by now! :/ 1 year is NOT SOON.
Only future "actions" will redeem the outdated bs. STAY TRUE TO YOUR WORD!
CUT THE BS. LET THE PLAYERS TRY OUT WHAT YOU GOT AND SEE THE HARD WORK YOU SAY HAS BEEN DONE THUS FAR.
NO MORE EXCUSES.
AT LEAST FIX THE MISLEADING DESCRIPTION TO MORE ACCURATELY DEPICT THIS "TEEN" GAME IF YOU WON'T DO THAT!
Honestly, I'm more angry that you keep lying to the players than anything else. -_- And that's exactly what it looks like. You just keep repeating the same thing with nothing to show the players for it after all this time.
Glad I could point out the facts of how you look right now. Now it's up to you to listen or not. Just so you know... Knowing is half the battle.
You should also be aware if you keep it up and people will probably start reporting you for fraud. You don't want that. Believe me. And I'd hate to see it. There is so much of that going on these days. Enough is enough. 😥
I honestly think you have a really interesting little game here. But I also know how people are. And trust me, it looks bad as I hope you can now see, so you can fix it.
"I want this game to succeed. I want you to succeed. But you can't do that by not being honest especially with those that care about the project. Definitely the ones that pay."
If you don't want to give away the lewd version of the game away for free then just be honest and say so. But at least show some screenshots so people know that it exists and what they are getting when they buy the game. What's to come. Real updates and status reports. Not just vague text without proof. It's bad enough this game is posted in the adult section and it's not there with the rest of them yet.
A demo is much better though. People are likely to buy what they want to support. And the more you show them how good it is with honesty, the more likely they will support it. Everyone wins!
- "Absolute honesty is the best policy."
I hope you prove me wrong about you. 😔This game shouldn't have got pushed this long though. This letter wouldn't even exist if it hadn't.
You can do better. The real question is, will you?. Will the team?
Just trying to wake you up and look out for the development team.
This looks like a enjoyable game after all. I'd hate to see it get taken down because people aren't getting what they were paying for and to see. I hope you care. As you should be able to see by my passionate letter, I do. That's what real passion looks like. It's not mine that matters though, It's yours and the teams,
Where's your fire? Put it in the game and share it.
If this touched you emotionally in any way, that's how you know what's the truth. It's not always easy to take in or to accept. Neither do we always want to listen to it. But it will make a better person of those of us who can process it and can handle it if we do.
The next time you hear from me... I hope it's in a review of how good and fun your enjoyable looking game was. And that I'll have nothing negative to say but only praises and appreciation for what you and the team have done.
Will it matter... probably not. But that doesn't stop me from trying to make the world a better place even if it's one person at a time. All they need do is know when to listen.
"At least I tried. Can't say that I didn't."
