Personally, I think you should charge for everything. I played Confusion as a free version (I think it finished around chapter 5 or 6) and then paid the $12(?) for the full version a month or so ago and played through it in its entirety; well worth the few dollars.
Consequently, have just paid for the pre-order. If people aren't prepared to pay a pitiful $3 to sample the game then they shouldn't get anything for free.
Hi, I really enjoyed this game when I first discovered it. Played through most paths, but I started to lose interest when it detected that the 'transformation' process was heading towards bimbofication (or at least that was the vibe the game was giving off). I think multiple, discrete endings should be the end goal soi that player choice actually has some meaning. I personally would like to see a trans ending that doesn't involve bimbofication, where the MC can embrace their masculine and feminine sides.
I really like your game and would like to help you (since you're a single person).
I was reading through some of the ideas and suggestions and got to thinking that Discord would a better way of organising the suggestions and various development threads (which also gives supporters better info on where you're at with various game updates/changes).
Would you like me to set up a basic channel for you? It doesn't have to have too much content (a problem with alot of discord channels) - just focusing on a way for you to easily communicate with your players and supporters and to track game ideas (and maybe a little bit of general chat)?
So I've been playing the Heather route, and when the actual Girl Games started I couldn't dance worth a damn. The only place you can practice (unless I'm missing something) is your room. But I can practice when Kevin is in the room, which is all the time! I found him in the cafeteria one time, went straight back to the dorm and there he was!! Are you meant to fail the games if you're with Heather?? Anybody offer advice?
That's simply not true.
Itch has up to version 11.1. As with pretty much everything, Patreon subscribers get early access to new content to reward them for their ongoing support. People who buy the game via Itch will get the latest content some time (weeks? Months?) after the Patreon supporters.
Think about it this way - One payment (Itch) vs. Monthly payments (Pateron)...who do you think is going to get the goodies first?
You should buy it, I did, and was sadface when I got to the end of the current update. I'm going through it again, looking for alternative choices so I can explore all the content. Yes, its a slow burn game, but delayed gratification is so much more rewarding than finding yourself having sex with everyone in the first few minutes of gameplay.
Thank you for using paragraphs...unlike many of the commentators!
I've purchased the game and have played it, think its got the beginnings of a great game. Yes, there are binary choices - if you choose A, you miss out on B's scene/story development, etc. - but isn't that true in life as well?
Keep up the work Spin, its very much appreciated and I look forward to future updates!
Thanks for the very prompt reply. The option to download 6.4a is greyed out, so presumably whatever I paid to get 6.3a wasn't enough to future releases as well. I purchased it in November last year. Guess I'll wait till you complete the game and pay one last fee. Great game, so well worth paying for it.
Fantastic game - I've only played up to version .5.14.1; with update 17 coming I've realised that you're up to version .7.16.32 - that seems like alot of content that I've not seen!
Anyway, just wondering if I buy the game through Itch does that grant access to premium or is that only through Patreon, etc.?
I agree with 99% of your reply. But obviously I'm in the minority with the renaming of the girls. I really like that as a feature of any VN - one quick example, in the "Evil Asshole" playthrough I named Jack, "Adolf" (for obvious reasons - although I didn't appreciate how evil it would get!) and it would have been good to be able to rename the girls with a consistent naming convention. But your game so your choices, I respect that.
There is a saying..."if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything."
Fair enough that you don't like the game, so stop playing and go find something that does float your boat. But you don't need to insult the creator of this very fine visual novel.
Just look at the art - Its top shelf!! The story (like all VNs) is exactly that, a story! So suspend your disbelief and roll with it.
I've played through this novel four times now, and while I know the macro story pretty well, I'm still finding little zigs and zags in the story that entertain for a variety of reasons. To think that there are still 14 other endings that I've yet to see, makes this a phenomenal creative work.
I have nothing but praise for the Captain, and all the other creators who develop these VNs - some are great (this one, Good Girl Gone Bad, Leap of Faith, and Tales from the Unending Void to name a few) and some are pretty low grade for a variety of reasons (Friends of Mine, Girl Games, Weekend Lollygagging) - but I would never post content on those games that sought to diminish the creators efforts - if I didn't like/enjoy it, I move on. You should too.
Hey Captain, just wanted to say thanks for writing this novel. Played it once for free up to 5.5 and without really thinking about it, ended up on the Cassie dom path (after the foot massage was surprised where things went but thought “huh, let’s see where this goes…”. )
Knew there would be so much more to the story, particularly when I read about multiple endings, so stumped up with some $ for you. I’m now on my fourth play through (Duo Dom), having reached the temporary ending of “Cassie Dom”, “Eve Sub Love”, and “Evil Asshole” - and wow did EA get dark quickly!
One little thing, with 6.3, we’ve lost the ability to rename Cassie and Eve. Any plans to reinstate this feature?
