Are there any plans to put out a new Demo / Beta version of the Game?

The current demo has been out for a while and at present has failed to draw any meaningful financial backing, which I think might in turn make other future supporters more likely to shy away.

I think that a new playable demo that lets you start at level 1 and interact with the game, it's mechanics and the characters that populate it's world from a more ground up perspective could be better received and more beneficial for yourselves financially.

At present the demo takes place in a disjointed map away from any series story markers, cities, interesting questlines or meaningful dialogue which I feel probably makes it hard for players to feel invested in the game that you are creating.

Also the current demo starts with 1 of the main girls being gangbanged by a bunch of goblins, (Not trying to shame fans of NTR/Cuckolding/Sharing) but that type of content is one that you either love or hate and immediately turns off a lot people from wanting to play your game.

If the purpose of the game is for it be based around NTR/ Cuckolding then don't let me disuade you from making the game that you want to make, however based on the comments you've left in this very thread it doesn't seem like that is your intention for the game, and I do understand that it is skippable, but it is also the first scene in the game and likely is the thing that most people who play the demo at present remember.

(I think that there is a reason why most negative reviews focus on that scene) and I think if you are looking for better backing financially then that first impression is the most important, and I fear that you may have made a significant mis-play with how you are chosing to market the game at the moment and that perhaps if the game isn't intended to be NTR, then that type of content shouldn't be at the front of the game demo.

I hope that you see this comment in the well meaning, positive light that it was written and perhaps you might even take my suggestions on board.

Thank you for the feedback! Constructive criticism is welcomed, as it allows us to shape our game into something that our community can and will enjoy! The demo game was intended to see what works and also to give the players a taste of what is to come. Our original idea was always to add another section to start off the game, which is why it begins with a banner declaring this as chapter 2 (admittedly a source of confusion) because this part of the game was intended to be set after your call to adventure. 

The plan was that the player would start off in an elven city where they would be introduced to a whole different set of characters before the inciting incident that led you to the start of this demo. However, we understand that a more immediate change may well be for the better! Save for a few minor changes and rewriting, another focus we have undertaken is experimenting with social systems and branching paths that would help add a more immersive experience to both.

Thus, changing the intro around will be a bit more time-consuming as we are currently learning to use the Bakin 3D engine. Thus, our time is shared with the RPG Maker Demo, as we still wish to flesh it out and make it stand out on its own. 

It is as you say, however, first impressions are important! And I believe you make a good point, and the scene might well be better served by moving it to another place and time in the story. Thus, we will make this a priority for this month.
