itch.io

fr bro, i swear, some of these people have less brain cells than a fun sized bag of m&m's

i very much enjoyed the research thesis

this has me dying

1. Download JoiPlay from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cyou.joiplay.joiplay&hl=en&gl=US

2. Download the pc version of any visual novel you want to play

2.5. enter JoiPlay

3. Skip the TOS and EULA like you always do

4. click the "+" in the bottom right corner

5. Enter the name of the game, and add the executable from the pc version you downloaded and play

if it doesnt just use joiplay,  you can find it on the play store

you can use an app called JoiPlay, it can emulate any game using mostly renpy but im sure a few other coding languages work too

just download the pc version and run the .exe in joiplay

this game is SO good, id love it even without the porn

nah, I'm still on board with using DRM or some form of account integration, its only a visual novel, even with increased storage or performance usage it could still run on a Russian potato and if you cant access the internet for two seconds to verify your game then maybe you need to do something other than play porn games

all youd need is some sort of webhook, without some sort of verification pirated copies can still access whatever database hes using and as such, when he sees that 70000 unique  games have been started but hes only sold 4900 copies as you can imagine its quite obvious

maybe not this, advertising the fake version as being "up to date" will only cause confusion, and people will think that the game is no longer being worked on. 

instead i propose a similar solution of leaking a copy of the demo, advertising it as the full game and then an hour or so into the content revealing that this is only a demo for sleezy pirates. this being advertised as the full game will cause piracy sites to upload this fake demo and forget the game exists warranting no further piracy until the next version comes out, which will just be another fake demo, this will keep piracy down significantly by flooding the piracy sites with demos and people will find that the only reliable way to get the full game is to buy it legally

you could also do some sign in thing using discord/itch.io etc. integration. though im not very experienced in game development so

im not caribdis, but im pretty sure the mobile version uses compressed images due to apks having a storage budget; if you want to play the pc version on mobile download JoiPlay from the google play store

This game is so good I'd play it just for the story
