That's fair. And you can always try out the free demo first. The next update is just around the corner BTW. I try to do a new chapter release every two months but this time I had a GPU dying on me so I'm like a month behind from where I would normally be.
Yes, it is a demo for the next chapter so it's a bit ahead naturally. Soon the full version will be here, it's not yet finished. Should be done before the end of December. All I ask is a little more patience. Thank You!
Demo is free and includes all previous content, so if you don't want to pay you can always just wait until the next demo release. It would just be one update behind. It's a common practice many AVN creators do now since Itch is deindexing paid adult games
That is the current plan yes. Preferably both but we will see. I have already submitted the request to GOG but so far didn't get any response. From what I'm hearing, they only tend to take VN's that are already either more established with a big following or are near completion or complete. Steam recently changed their policies regarding early access games and adult games in particular to where they have to have all kinks already present and also be near completion and they now also restrict a lot what kind of VN's are allowed. Bottom line, probably not until the game is almost finished or finished so it could be a while. That said, I am in active talks with both platforms so it could be either approved sooner at some point or declined altogether. We will see.
This particular character will die by the hands of someone else, but pretty much everyone else by the hands of the MC. Can't go into too much detail without spoiling. Suffice to say, there will be plenty of violence, especially on the evil path
Honestly, I haven't yet decided If it will be avoidable or not but I'm thinking about maybe making the outcome be based on points. But that particular scene is still pretty far of in one of the later chapters and it will only happen on one specific path. She is innocent, you could say she will be a casualty of war if you will.
So far it's been fairly minor, there's some blood here and there pertaining to vampire feeding and injuries but it's still early in the story so we still need to get to the more intense parts. At least one head is of a woman yes
He grows on you, like a fungus haha. In all seriousness though, he has it's good sides to him too, which will only start showing up after some events in chapter 2 take place. Then we will start seeing his more gentle and caring side. But yea, atm he kind of comes of as a snob. It's on purpose
Woud you rather I didn't put it in at all? Because that was the original plan for this episode, no lewd scene was planned originally here at all, on either side. This is not a sex oriented game, focus is on the story and lewd scenes only happen occasionally. I guess people either don't read game's description at all, or they don't understand what I was trying to say with it.
I am into them, I am just still very new at all of this and am still learning how to animate properly. It is not a lesbian oriented game, IDK how many times I have to repeat that.
Most of those are just characters and not available for sexy stuff. Only Clara is available for females and only Miles for males to be romanced. 50/50 refers to main romance paths. For solo path I honestly haven't decided yet how many people will be ultimately available, but all will be only one night stands. For instance in ch1 you can fool around with 2 guys. So ,if anything, atm it's leaning more towards males in terms of lewd scenes. If we talk about overall character balance, as of ch1 there are total of 6 guys and 6 girls, so perfect balance. But its still very much up in the air if all of those will be available, on either side. It's just too soon to know for sure. Depends on how the story will go. Besides no one is forcing you into female path, literally everything in my game is avoidable. And as I have said numerous times already, the focus of this game is on the story not sex scenes. They will not happen often but only when necessary. I won't be doing sex scenes just for the sake of it. This is not one of those fuck fest games where you bang everyone you see, left, right and center. I hate when people make assumptions without even playing the game
MMF is in chapter 1 which releases this Friday. Also I don't say it's lesbian focused because it's not. It's one female and one male for romance paths, depending on your path. So player can chose which orientation they want to go with. There is no mixing in between them. Only on solo path you can go with whomever else you want that is not the main two LI's, but those will only ever be casual one night stands so ultimately you will still end up solo on that route
The game has been great so far and it certainly shows your creative growth over time. I myself am still very much at the beginning of my journey into VN creation and hearing about other devs experiences makes me want to push myself that much more. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the future.
Real life always takes priority. You have to do what you have to do. As long as the development is ongoing in the positive direction, no matter how slow, I'm sure most will appreciate the updates
A big portion of the game revolves around Clara, at least if you are on her romance path. The way im making the game is that the paths are all very distinct, it's like you are playing three different games! So hopefully there will be a little bit of something for those who may not be into Clara as well
Personally, i only create backgrounds with AI and only if i don't have assets that i need already in Daz. So things like a city view that i place at a window or a custom skybox or something in the distance. I never use it to create actual persons for my game, those i still prefer to do manually in Daz
Nothing wrong in me trying to gather feedback in various places, not just here or on Patreon. Like it or not, F95Zone has the biggest AVN community out there, even bigger than Itch. I will take note of people's concerns, doesn't mean i will act on most of them outside some technical aspects. My story is pretty much set in stone in my head, i'm NOT going to change it for anyone to suit their particular kinks and won't allow myself to be manipulated into doing something i'm not comfortable with. I hate NTR and cheating with a passion so it will NEVER be in any of my games. This might rub some people the wrong way, but i honestly don't care. I probably shouldn't have included possible future tags on there because it caused some people to have expectations that won't happen. That is on me. This is my first VN after all and i have only been doing this for 3 months now, learning everything on my own from ground up. Mistakes will happen on my end. It is what it is, im not perfect.
Well, since i have high standards in terms of story myself it checks out. I won't please everyone. Some people just want there to be nonstop sex scenes in their VN's while others play them more for the story and occasional sex scene here and there is just an extra sprinkling on top. I'm one of those latter ones
It will be even 50/50 split actually. There will be one female LI and one male LI, that's it. It just happens to be that prologue got a female LI. Due to the story im telling, it wasn't the time yet to introduce a male LI. Hope this clarifies things
Congrats on the new version release! Started playing it a bit, looking pretty good. Noticed some changes to dialogue since the last time i played it, but you do your thing! Sidenote, i will never understand how are some people able to churn out thousands of renders lol, i was barelly able to do around 250 for my project and that was already stretching it. Still gotta a lot to learn and my PC sucks though so its a slow process for me. Maybe that's all it takes, a powerful rig, hm. Anyhow, great work on this, as always!
