We're currently working on a sequel for Benefitship, which will have an additional character. However, at its core, Benefitship is about Amy and Chloe.

I can't guarantee anything, I'm afraid. We prefer to have a different artist for each game and we have a lot of other games and stories we'd like to cover. We appreciate your interest, though!

If we were to do a non-futanari version of Benefitship, it would require a complete rewrite of the story, a redo of nearly all the art, and bringing the voice actors back to re-record.

We might do a yuri story one day, but it's a lot of work, and we have other priorities right now.

The most recent update, version 1.2.0, hasn't yet been released on Android. 

This is purely because Itch has a 1 GB file size limit, and the updated APK exceeds that. We've contacted Itch to raise the 1 GB file size limit so we can release the update on Android, but we can't do anything until they get back to us, unfortunately.

Glad you like it! Benefitship is complete for now, and we're currently busy working on a sequel, as well as our next game, Born to Breed.

Outside of that, we're only planning on doing a Japanese localization with full Japanese voice acting for Benefitship.

Glad you got it to work! Hope you enjoy!

That's very strange. Could you try sharing a screenshot of the issue and getting in contact with us at benefitshipgame@gmail.com? We'll do our best to try to figure out what the issue is.

If you purchase the game, there is an APK download for Android. The demo doesn't have an Android version.

That's cool, but counterpoint:
Big PP funny.

Hey, thanks for the interest! We don't have anything planned like that right now, but if we can come up with some good characters and a good story, we might do it one day!

It will! We're going to be experimenting with it a bit, though! You can check out our Twitter (if you have it) for an announcement on who's doing the voices later this month! Otherwise, it'll be on the store page here eventually.

Well, it's a visual novel, so I suppose it depends on how quickly you read and click? It's fully voice acted, so if you listen to all the voice acting, it's 70-90 minutes, I suppose?

Hey! We used to have a Patreon, but we've closed it down, since Benefitship has very stable earnings. We appreciate your interest in supporting us, though!

Thanks, we're really glad that you enjoyed it! We're not planning any updates right now, but we've just recently announced a sequel on our Twitter.

Hey, sorry to hear you're having issues! That's definitely very weird, and I'm not sure what the cause is.

I recommend restarting your computer and trying again. Just ensure that you don't do anything or click away while it's downloading.

Hopefully that'll help. I'm not sure what else we can do, unfortunately. It sounds like it's outside of our power.

Hey, we're really glad you liked it! Our next game, Born to Breed, is already in development. You can see the details on our profile. Sorry to hear you thought Amy seemed annoyed by Chloe, though - we always try to make sure our characters get along.

Thanks, we're really happy to hear that you enjoyed it! We're definitely hoping to start development on another Benefitship game soon-ish.

Hey, thanks for the interest! We don't really have anything lined up for foot stuff right now, although it's not off the table for future games.

As an aside, it's worth noting that Benefitship and Born to Breed are actually very different tonally, and Born to Breed is more experimental for us. We hope you'll enjoy it regardless!

Benefitship uses sequences of multiple alternate stills in differing poses, but we don't have animation, no.

Thanks, we're glad you like it! Benefitship won't really have content updates, though. Instead, we're planning on starting work on a sequel some time this year.

We don't have anything like that planned right now, sorry.

We might do something one day, but we don't have anything planned right now, sorry.

Ah, I'm not sure that really works with the story we're trying to tell, unfortunately! Benefitship is mainly a futa x female story, but I'm sure there are plenty of great futa x male works out there.

Hey, there! We were a bit low on budget at the time of release, which is why there weren't really fully-rendered scenes outside of the NSFW sequences.

You are correct in saying that the writer (that would be me) has never been in a relationship. This does, unfortunately, lead to some occasional inaccuracies in my writing, which aren't likely to be resolved for some time.

I do hope to rectify both the lack of non-NSFW art and the lack of foreplay in the sequel, which we plan to start working on some time this year.

All that said, I hope you enjoyed Benefitship for what it was!

Thanks, we're really glad you enjoyed it! We're hoping to start work on a sequel some time before the end of this year, but it likely won't be out until next year at least.

Hm, I'm not sure we can do much about that. We supply you with an APK when you purchase the game, which Android devices should let you install without too much hassle. The demo doesn't have an Android version, however.

Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed it!

What do you mean by extra steps? We don't have control over Itch's purchasing system, unfortunately.

Thanks! We're really glad you enjoyed it! We've made a note of the things you'd like to see, and we'll consider whether or not it'll make sense for what we have planned.

We don't have a demo version for Android, I'm afraid. That's reserved for the full version currently.

Benefitship is done and released, and doesn't have any planned updates outside of the quality-of-life stuff we've done. We might make sequels or DLC in the future, but if we do, those will be new titles, that'll have to be purchased separately.

That's quite strange. Have you checked your settings and made sure that "Mute all" is turned off, and that all the volume bars are at max?

If so, it's probably an issue on your end. It could be a bar in your volume mixer is muted or that your device is hooked up to the wrong audio output. If you tell us what operating system you're running, we'll do our best to help.

Thanks, we're really happy you enjoyed it!

Benefitship just released last month, and we're currently working on our next game, Born to Breed. Once that has been released (and we've taken a short vacation to avoid burnout), we'll probably start development on a sequel.

I won't spoil anything, but I already know what happens in it, so... look forward to that.

Thanks! We're really glad you enjoyed Benefitship!

We obviously aim to avoid these sorts of problems, but we weren't even sure if Benefitship would break even at the time, so we were hesitant to postpone the game and increase the budget just to solve a minor inconsistency.

Haha, thanks, we definitely hope you'll enjoy it. You'll be able to buy it when it releases *wink*.

Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the review! We really appreciated your feedback.

Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed it!

Could you describe what happens? Does it just prevent you from downloading it? Or are you able to download it, but you can't run it? Do you get any errors?

Sorry to hear you're having difficulties. It sounds like a problem with either Itch.io, their payment provider, or your bank. I recommend contacting Itch.io's customer support here. You can also check to verify that the account your credit card is attached to has enough in it to pay. Unfortunately, anything else is out of our hands.
