Does going into full screen (the little box with the arrows bottom right) make it fill your screen properly? If you could come to discord and post a screenshot, that would be perfect.

I appreciate the apology, and I appreciate you actually trying the game. Let me know what you think! Where can I improve it where its not Ai slop like?

If you’re down, I’d honestly rather talk this out on Discord. It’s easier to have a real conversation there than in comment threads. Message me any time.

As for your question: what’s stopping me from dropping AI sooner is mostly time + bandwidth. I’m doing this 100% solo — there’s no team, no art department, no budget to outsource. It’s just me juggling everything it takes to ship (code, builds, UI, marketing, storefront stuff, bug fixing, support, etc.). Learning to draw to the level I’d need on top of that isn’t a small “just do it” step — it’s basically a whole second career path.

The simplest way I can explain it is: if you’re taking a math test and there’s a calculator sitting there, most people use it. Not because they “can’t” do math, but because it lets them spend effort where it matters more. For me, AI is atool that lets me actually finish projects, learn the parts of game dev I’m focused on, and iterate fast.

On the environment part... I’m not pretending AI is impact-free. It uses real electricity and hardware. But it also runs on the same general data-center + internet infrastructure everything online uses, it’s just more compute-heavy in many cases. data centers used about 1.5% of electricity globally. AI was roughly ~0.3% of global electricity in 2024.  Storage systems (where all your pictures get saved, every post you've made on every website, every game you've played online cloud save) account for 5% of electricity consumption. So I get the concern, I just don’t think “don’t use it at all” is the only ethical stance.

Long-term, if the games start making real money, I will commission artists and replace pieces over time. Right now I’m trying to survive the “no budget, still need to ship” stage.

If you want to talk about this more, just hit me up on Discord.

Dude, stop harassing me. I've made it clear. Stop commenting. It's annoying. I don't want to make an chrome extension to block you from every post/game.  Find something better to do. If you have a problem with AI and its environmental impact, harassing me will not change that. Find a way to make it use less water or something. But harassing me is NOT the answer.

Also, if you really want to talk about it instead of trolling, add me on discord. rowingstudios and we can talk. 

Does the game work properly for you now? Or is it still not right?

Perfect! Thanks again, you're the best. If you notice anything else, please please reach out again!

Thanks for playing, and thanks for the thorough review!!! This is the free version. The full version can be downloaded on my site. There is like 3x the amount of images on the downloaded version, and I know I pushed the model pretty far on some of them. (If you've been playing that one, let me know and I will keep it in mind next gen batch)

Also with the border, I look at an image yesterday and thought "I don't think that will get covered by my borders!" I will work on that, it's tuff to make it look like a card, keep the image visible, and keep the suit and card number! I will fix it soon! 

Thanks again, and no time is wasted when having fun :D

First, thanks for the follow! 

Secondly, it's sooo strange! I spent so long getting the resolution stuff working properly (or so I thought). I have like 9 games, and no one has said anything about this! Thank you for noticing and saying something. 

Looking through, it seems like its trying to apply a default resolution and it's ignoring the selection for others. I had some bug reports that were messed up with loading- I think now its related to this problem too. Thanks again! I will fix it soon! 

I have been paid my pending payments at 35 days. 

Do they not know that no payments are going through for anyone? 


https://itch.io/t/5000297/important-payout-or-tax-related-issues-post-support-ti...

Over 100 devs there that have not got paid in months. Please escalate this.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing again regarding the continued withholding of my earnings. At this point, Itch.io owes me over $1,800 USD.

  • Pending payouts: Over 3 weeks overdue, totaling $391.49 USD.

  • Additional available balance: ~$1,400 USD, which remains blocked because your system will not allow further payout requests until the earlier ones are processed.

This means my full earned income remains frozen and inaccessible to me.

The delay has now become critical. I am at risk of losing my housing due to your failure to process payments. This is not only unreasonable, it is potentially unlawful withholding of earned income.

I previously gave notice that you had 7 days to resolve this. That time has passed. If immediate payment is not made in full, I will be contacting legal counsel. Please note: if I suffer damages—including the loss of housing—due to your non-payment, those damages will be added to the claims in any legal action.

This is your final opportunity to resolve this matter voluntarily and avoid escalation. I expect immediate release of all withheld funds.

Respectfully,
Rowing Studios

Right now, Mac isn't on the list. I'm sorry! You can check our discord for a more in depth reasoning on why not. Sorry about that!

To Whom It May Concern,

This letter constitutes a formal demand for the immediate release of all funds owed to me by Itch.io. As of today, my account shows:

  • Pending payouts in review: $391.49 USD (3 requests, 13–24 days overdue)

  • Available balance: $1,189.04 USD (inaccessible due to your system blocking new requests)

  • Total funds withheld: $1,580.53 USD

Your own policies state that payouts become eligible after a 7-day fraud review. The three requests currently “in review” have exceeded that by weeks. Because your system prevents new payouts until those complete, you are effectively freezing all of my funds, including the balance that should be immediately payable.

This practice is not only unreasonable, it represents a breach of contract and unlawful withholding of earned income. I hereby demand that all funds owed ($1,580.53 USD) be released in full, immediately, without further delay.

If this demand is not met within 7 business days, I will pursue all available remedies, including:

  1. Filing complaints with state and federal agencies overseeing payments and digital marketplaces.

  2. Retaining counsel to initiate legal proceedings to recover the funds, plus damages, interest, and attorney’s fees.

This is your final notice to resolve the matter voluntarily. Continued delay will result in escalation.

Respectfully,
Rowing Studios

Sorry you feel that!

Regardless how you view it, I did spend many many many hours on this. I challenge you to do the same! Not as easy as you'd think :D

In the free demo version only hard is unlocked! The easy, medium and 400+ images and 130+ videos get unlocked with the paid version!
And thank you! I'm excited for future versions!

ah okay! Thank you for the response, I will let others know!

Awesome! Glad you were able to get it! When you can, let me know on here or on discord what you had to do! Thanks again, you're awesome!

You're like the 10th person that has requested that. It will be added in next update! 

For now, deleting the files in the folders C:\Users\USER\AppData\LocalLow\Rowing Game Studio
and 
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\YourStudio\bolten

Def I can see that right now! While I'm learning and getting the hang of things/have funding to pay professionals, some stuff will look off.  Trying my best, would mean a lot for you to just try it out. if you did then lmk here or in discord what stood out as slop. I want to get that addressed! 
Soon when I find a better stream to sell (because of itchs new nsfw rule) i will update the games with tons of images added. I've been spending HOURS and HOURS working with wildy complex models and I'm starting to get images to look amazing. Getting to where most you would have no idea it was ai. Bare with me!

Ah okay so the only thing I'm seeing is to use paypal. I'm still making some sales, actively . So that might be your only option.

Try to remove your payment stuff from your itch profile. Then when you go to pay, try to use paypal. If that doesn't work, hop on discord, and we will get you set there!

hey! You should be able to get my games from

 https://rowing-studios.itch.io/

As my understanding is, you can still sell and buy NSFW games, they just aren't indexed. So you can't search or just find them normal ways! Thank you for asking and thank you for your support. It's cool to have people like you playing my games!

I don't have an exact date or a guess. Right now, itch just made all nsfw games unindexed. Their credit card processor said NO MORE NSFW GAMES. Right now, I'm trying to find a platform that would be good for my games.

On android, right now, there are no videos. The way unity works with android and the player I used is having conflicting errors. It's something I'm working on!

I'm so glad it fixed it! There were some rookie mistakes I made with how I dealt with resolution so that might have been the problem! 
Some screens had problem with the new bug report menu being messed up, so I'll have to release another update in a little, let me know if you have anymore problems. I'm changing nothing except the size of the report menu.

hey! So right now I'm working on upgrading graphic card, I'll be able to add TONS of videos then, so right now just in idle. During this time I'm working on bug report features, instructions, another game (sfw store game), and general QOL stuff. 
Stick with me, I'm excited to be making games for you all!

i meant the s25 also lol

I think i might have found the problem. I think mine are in 32 bit and most older phones support it. The s25 does not. Its 64 so give me a couple of days to get the update out with testing. 

I'm assuming this was with all the games you tried on the s25 from mine right?

(1 edit)

hey! If you could hop on discord and let me know what it's saying, or if you could post a screenshot there or here. Let me know! And is it the s15 ultra?

Big Titties Theme games are fixed. Working on the other themes now. Thanks again for the heads up!

(1 edit)

Okay I will get it fixed so sorry. Your progress should be saved. Thanks for letting me know.

Heard you loud and clear ;) 
Will be adding more in the next update! Might be a couple of days to a week because I'm working on getting blackjack out today! 

Great questions!
So, all of my games are in development. I'm working on each one in blocks. I have a core set up per game. So, when i update one theme of the same game, all get updated. So there will be future development for the foreseeable future.  There's a lot I want to add, so it won't be complete until I'm happy!

Yes, if you buy a game, it come with all future updates! I think bundles also include that.

So, I only added android at the request of a couple of players. I didn't even know if I was able to. That being said, I have set up the core loading and saving (which was the main problem at the start) to change depending on the device being played. So, all of my updates should be 100% compatible with android. The only problem I'm having is getting the videos to play correctly, so those are disabled for now. Actively looking for a proper way to fix it.

Anymore questions let me know!!

Durning game play, there is no way, the game gets way to small and it messes stuff up! Now that you mention it though, I can add a way to rotate and it just enlarge the image that's on the display, I can try something like that! I'm more of a windows dev, I will see what I can do with android :D

And noted on the more expansion! 

(1 edit)

Some of the same women have different size breast from medium to xxx large. They are grouped around each other in the gallery.  If youd like more than what's there already, let me know! I can make it a little more obvious. Also, in the next couple of updates ill be adding tons of videos (right now there isn't many) and ill deff add more expansion there!

Guess what! Android is here! It should be uploaded by the time you see this! Let me know here or in discord if you have any problems!! Still working on the videos.

So glad you love it! lol I'll be adding more images in the upcoming updates! Glad to make games you guys enjoy :D

The creators are in the credits. A lot of them use pony realism and wan for the videos!

If you have any problems, please join the discord and post in the blackjack support channel.
