Yeah, I can very much understand that and I've already recommended the folks to rather create something more sustainable (OpenSource Messengers based on Matrix-Protocol, which are even used by Military, but have better and better Implementation for private users available, too) since Discord has been pulling a lotta cr*p last year, too in the context of the whole thing, that also got itch.io to de-list certain games and all.
So, yeah, I think someone on the mentioned Discord shared your Game - it is how I got to find it last year <3
And the Devs there are really supportive to each other and all - and toxic folks are quickly banned by the moderators, so it's pretty peaceful there in terms of Social Atmosphere still, which is what I also seek these days for obvious reasons.... ^_^
But, it's your decision - as is everything concerning your Game, too - and if / whenever you feel like it, it's hopefully still there (or has changed/transitioned to a better platform even ;-) ).
I love your work and hope you can come back to it whenever the Muses have been kissing you - I know, the creative process isn't something linear! And even if not: the stuff you've created already could still be a seed for others to be inspired by and then create something similar...
And don't listen to the toxic folks who just have opinions but no clue or imagination about how creative processes work ;-P
Yeah, making the World a better place with more love and pleasure is certainly more noble than to try bringing people down who are doing their best to achieve the first <3
Hence: judgement without competence / awareness of the least bit of how creative processes work in human beings, is just wasted Lifetime - both for the expressing part as the one it's addressed to.
And with people being obsessed with "efficiency" and "making the best of their Life, I hope this also deters some of them at least from wasting all of our precious Lifetimes ;-P - so creative spirits like you can thrive and create awesome, intriguing, exciting, sexy art/projects like the ones you've already "born" from your spirit - as have many others, too. I wish I could just copy-paste this stuff to their Comment Sections, too - but I think it's similar to the creative process with me: I can't always get into it and when I do, it's valid for all artists, that I cherish and support, too.
Yet, it took your art to inspire the executive function to pass the threshold of actually writing it ;-) <3 Time and circumstances probably were a random factor, too...but: oh well, we take it as it comes, right? ^_^
Hugs and cheers

Alright, it's closely connected with "Orgasm Hell" I see and I love the complex World Building in this part of it - the Background Info gives a really awesome and exciting outlook and I really wanna be able to see Lucas take on a Caprini in Orgasm Hell...even though I think it's more like "Heaven" to becum a Modified Human like him, even though the part with the corporate termination is dark/creepy indeed.
Also: merging this awesome Information part here with the Game "Orgasm Hell" would be perfect - and use "Lucas" (or whatever name the player gives him) as the "Case Study" then like a "replay" option of the choices one has made.
But, for creativity's sake: this is not something I expect, but feel like it would make sense. Depending on how you get around with the Code already (which is always quite a challenge I know by myself and have stopped trying to get more acquainted with it since it got me "hooked" too much and also therefore I rather enjoy it from others, but I understand the time and effort that goes into it.
So, depending on how well you can feel motivated by long-term possibilities maybe (whenever you feel confident and excited about it yourself, that is), that is only a possibility I suggest with this.
But regardless of whether or not these two are ever gonna be "merged", they are a wonderful addition to each other as they are, i.m.h.o.! <3
And I hope we'll get to see how Hybrids are made in the future or how "Lucas" gets "fed" by a whole bunch of Caprini Males during the Zero-Day Celebrations as part of Caprini-Human Celebrations...and can "reward"/"thank" his hot Caprini Bulls by sharing his delicacy fresh from the tap.
If I remember correctly human babies are harder to make - only via the organisms and re-implantation into human males after (hybrids if Caprini Males add their DNA right after that re-implementation has been done?), right?
- So, I can imagine carrying up to 8(?) Fetuses to gestation must make the Impregnated ones voracious for food...and need constant massive amounts of nutrients to have the fetuses grow properly (and they should then also be modified Human Males all, I take it since the genetic changes must be inherited from their "father", right? It's a little like in "Seahorses", I think - where the males also carry the fertilized eggs to birth.
And after birth they young ones are fed by the Artifical Underground Organisms, I guess - or have a tube system to feed them wherever they're raised until maturity?
It's exciting to imagine all these details, too...would be even cooler if the whole planet had their offspring grow up on a moon or neighbor planet or moon (with artificial Gravity to simulate the Home Planet's conditions and develop the same muscle and physiological strengths needed during Adult Life) even and have a celebration whenever a new generation of young adults join the Adult-only Planet then...and maybe the nutritious Fluids of the Caprini and Underground Organisms even prevent aging and replenish the Telomeres that cause it during Cell-division regularly, so that everyone living there only dies when they grow tired of Life and choose so (like in the "Orgasm Hell" Game...their Deaths can be to turn them into nutrition-providing mindless cum-donors then as their minds are "gone" and lost in the Paradise of Bliss from constant Orgasm.
That an "Orgasm is the little Brother of Death" isn't just a saying when it's done properly and lovingly...and the greatest act of Love would be to give oneself to becum a Nutrient-Provider for the entire Community after all.
So, once Caprini or Modified (Hybrid) Human Males feel tired of the Life they otherwise live on the Planet, they can get prepared for "Paradise" - a.k.a. constant Orgasm to feed the rest of adult community and if there are too many, even create an export of it as a Caprini Delicacy for other Planets. Until maybe even a lot more Species in the Galactic Community learn to love the Caprini Way of Life and are inspired by it and have them cum to their Planets and create a Natural Habitat for them there, too...
That would be the most peaceful spreading of an enlightened, sexuality-positive Civilization I can imagine.
I also wonder how the hot bull-men, that are the Caprini sound and if the Modification of Human Males also increases their cock- and ball-size in the process (the Seminal Glands are massively enlarged I remember, but shouldn't also be the outer genitals benefit a bit and make them look more virile, their voices drop if they had more heady voices since their sexual hormones are optimized for more breeding instincts as both tops and bottoms? - Oh, and one more option I don't think to remember: If a modified human Male adds his semen into a freshly implanted fertilized Egg from an Underground Organism, would that make the offspring maybe not especially potent and strong as a human male, too? Since when adding Caprini-Semen they become the Hybrids, after all. But maybe adding an extra "dose" of modified human male Seed would also have a special positive effect?
Alright, enough of the questions and speculations...none of them are expectations, but my way of showing you how intriguing and fascinating I find the complexity of the background story you've developed so far...I really wish you can continue this and regardless of my thoughts and possibility-scenarios I just described here: it's YOUR Projects and what you find inspiring and cool matters therefore before anyone else's! So, whatever you are going to do with it, will be your choice still and none of my business. I just "let my imagination run away with me" and extrapolated from the information I got after reading your awesome work to this point! But where your imagination will lead you to, is still your choice/decision alone!
But I hope my "little" excursion into the parts I found still intriguing possibilities and details that might not have been described in detail (yet) are also a little bit inspiring at least and a sign, that I love to engage with the cool and exciting (in a hot way, too) World you've been creating here! <3
Wish you all the best, Love and Inspiration-kisses by who- and/or whatever your Muse/s is/are!
May the two Caprini-Gods bless you with all you need ^_^ <3
I love this a LOT to be honest - the richness of the Details of your SciFi World is awe-inspiring! <3
Isn't the delisting easily circumventable by just using Social Media Platforms (I think I also found you on BlueSky since I've left the evil other platform) and people who are already following you here and/or have listed your Games will also contribute to that - I also recommend joining Discords as Developer like The "Homotextual Gaming Guild" Server, which you'd fit right in and get a lotta support and feedback, too (if you haven't already).
If Discord is getting more evil, too, there will be the last bastion of private communication protocols: Matrix-protocol-based Messengers, that are also used by Universities, Military etc. already.
Since your understanding of technology and imagination of sexy alien one ;-P sounds pretty good, I doubt you'll have a problem with it in itself.
Sadly, of course, this adds a layer of publicity being separated from distribution platform.
And I've seen other Gaymes being re-instated or at least able to also pay voluntary amounts of Donations again. Maybe ask other distributors on the platform on Discord or wherever you can find them about their settings then.
I really hope to see more of these awesome stories or gamified stories of yours - this with the hot all-male bull-anthros breeding is especially close to my kinks (not so much the MPreg, but I can take it the way you've implemented it at least - it makes it meaningful and males still get fed their daily doses of Caprini-Semen or ASO-fluids.
Also like that you made the pixelation font optional since it's a bit hard to read on my current OLED-TV used as monitor since my real PC-monitor hit the bucket a couple of days ago and I had to improvise).
So, if you want me to post the Link to the "Homotextual Gaming Guild" Discord, I will gladly do so - unless you're already on it/know it from other Gaymes posted here ("Grizzly Grove" should have a link in its description to it, if I'm not mistaken, e.g.).
Oh, I just remembered, that you could also offer "free"/public versions here on itch.io still and have a library of paid versions with bonus content on Patreon since Patreon now also supports one-time-purchases of content, I found on some Patreons I follow/support (not much since I can only afford like 10 bucks a month for all of them combined sadly).
Alright, hope this helps a bit with the hope and forward-inspiration - all is not lost! <3
Love the Graphics and overall story - feels similar to "Lustful Adventures" though but with a different story, which is always nice.
I was just getting my first Lust-win against a bandit and after finishing, my Lust was not zeroed-out but still at the same level as when I won. - That doesn't make sense, i.m.h.o.
Also, I dunno if with affection come possibilities to reduce Lust other than with potions and sleeping, but it's still a bit limiting the Game Play - especially given there are time-limited Quest (Affection for Arthur, I think is one).
So, yeah, I dunno what to make of it yet. But it definitely has potential.
Ehm, you don't use itch.io's servers and have it on an external link - but I understand if it's something you wanted to keep for your Patreon Version.
Just would be nice to not have it available then as a choice or "grayed-out" with a hint that it's only for the Patreon-Version - since it can be confusing otherwise.
Still pretty hot Gayme otherwise.
Love it even thought the current Background Story Chapter was an important but sad part of it, the rest of it is intriguing, hot and very endearing and at parts funny.
So, it's a really nice VN with twists and all - and I'd be happy to help with the few spelling mistakes or word mix-ups, if that was ok.
Also: the little guy being flooded with so much hot stud's "Lovejuices" would probably be temporarily inflated and the massive tools he's taking, also would show up at the outside of his very stretchable little magic-enhanced body, I'd reckon ;-P - So, temporary inflation sprites would be very hot addition for the "intimate scenes" at least...or some of his toppers also gobble up his "Lovejuice" for a nice change.
Gray looks like he'd be one of the characters likely to do it, but also Ash maybe and of course Rask and Rarok and his brother Akhbal. Any primal ones but also the sensual ones, I could imagine being "inclined" to also have their Lovers' Essence "not wasted".
Also, what Spark/Ark says about them bonding all with each other is something I hope that'll happen...I mean at least all who got some Demon-Blood have basically shared a different "Essence" with the MC, too...even though it was for healing them first. There's interesting possibilities for development still and I'm curious and looking forward which ones you're following up on...you don't need (or should even - for surprise's sake) to disclose your plans for the story though. I'm happy to just follow and see where it's heading. But you already show so much potential with this, that it sparked a lotta deep emotional immersion (rare these days!) and many strings of where the story could be going- which makes it exciting to wait for the next Update, too....and most definitely earns the 5 stars I just gave your Novel already. And if people criticize the sprites, that's something that could still be added later, too...story is something most important to me and reading your answers to the comments here, you're growing with the project, which is beautiful, too. There aren't too many such VNs these days.
Cool! I love the whole concept of the Gayme! <3
Reminds me a bit of "Flesh Cult" (which was more hetero-sex-focused from the background images at least, but supposedly might be able to be modded - not sure if on that Level though) but in a gay-sex-focused Version (and without the sounds - which I dunno if they would take that much space if able to be relatively easily implemented in the Mini-Sex-Games? - Sound [sample] files can be compressed very much without losing their quality - especially if it's just moaning sounds for squelching etc.) .
Would be hot if Lovense-Toys could also be made to respond - but that's only something to consider as a "place holder" and implementation at a much later stage then (but would need you to look at their API to know where to put the placeholders).
But all in all the concept is really HOT and I hope we could design our sexy possessed Demon Stud/Slut too for the fun of it (he'd get a fucking massive dong in my version for the fun of it and hyperspermia if we can choose "perks" from his Demon-skills).
Yet, even if none of these are things you want to implement, the Story and Gayme as it shows right now are already enticing enough for me to play it - the fact, that it inspires the ideas I just expressed (as suggestions, and not expectations!) speaks for itself. Only happens if I'm excited about something already and then stuff sparks up what "would be cool/nice to have" for maximal immersion based on the Story-writing immersion. You know: there's always possibilities to "tickle out a little cherry on top of the yummy cream-cake" ;-P But first, the "creamy cake" needs to be baked and solid enough to support them, of course.
Hence just my "going overboard" a bit with possibilities I could imagine for your cool Gayme. <3
Thanks a lot - just tried it out but when I wanted to quit it, my entire system crashed (not sure what it could be though - I'm using the OpenSource "Nouveau" NVIDIA-Drivers on my system - here is an overview what they support: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/ - I mean, the Game itself runs like a charm still but something seems to have messed with the quit/kill/ending of the processes involved).
Maybe you can look into it, if others also have that problem with a similar configuration - I'm also using Linux LTS-Kernel 6.12.73-1 with Manjaro Linux and Cinnamon Desktop for anyone needing more configuration info).
So, I tried again and it still happens this way - no folder inside the packaged file but this weird file only...Oh, interesting - so, would that 2nd Point under "Permitted" mean, that, for example, a "Satyr" with a human (or even other shaped) cock would be alright, but a Centaur could already be problematic - or is that also depending on how "sentient" they behave at least? - For example: Centaurs are supposedly pretty smart and not very "feral", but cultivated, in their "Design" (originally) - but Werewolves, on the other hand are pretty feral usually and might be acting more "instinctual" when "in heat" (which horses originally can also be, but I'm currently not sure if Centaur Lore also includes something like it).
And would that also mean, the Vulcan "Pon Farr" would also be ousted because they seem to go pretty "feral" from what I've seen explained in the Series ;-)
I think this whole discussion is ridiculous because in a Fantasy environment, it's already contained as such - and who ignores laws is just an idiot deserving it - since we don't have Fantasy Species (yet - CRISPR might eventually be able to change that) and any kind of Bestiality is of course non-consensual because so far we cannot assume sentience in any other species at the least!
But the topic about *imaginary* characters with sentience, seems really insane and ridiculous, I whole-heartedly agree with that.
Thanks so much for this - of course the final say about it is always on your side as the developer. But I recently played a few gaymes with it and it's really cool.
The Lovense API is more limited, I think (to Lovense toys), but I dunno if they also reward it or something - Games with their API usually get a little promotion on their Server and maybe even Website though. But I'm not sure, if they also reward money for it - you'd need to ask their folks on their Discord for that.
But, I'm glad and thankful you're looking into it...and your characters are hot a.f.! Just played the Demo earlier and holy fuck, was that really good sexual health "inspiration" material! ;-P
Well, I think the APIs of either buttplug.io and/or Lovense are fairly easy I've heard coders of other gaymes tell me. Maybe just have a look at them and then decide - for a gayme like that with lotsa adult scenes, it would really be extremely "immersive" to feel the "vibes" not just empathetically, but quite literally "inside" or around one's shaft...which is possible with these toys. And the implementation for developers is pretty easy since the devs already provide the whole additional software to easily connect them. You just use their framework and put in some hot vibes (maybe varying with the thrust speeds of the tops in the scene even) and you're getting an innovative masterpiece with little more effort than usual. I just mention it now, that you're still in development so you might at least try it and don't need to sift through code to find the proper insertions of the API code later. But if you're programming with good documentation, that's maybe also not a problem at all later...but I thought it's nice to draw your attention to it, since it's definitely some really hot addition to any adult gayme!
Hope you can sell it here, too, since in my country almost no Adult Gaymes make it on to Steam (probably needs certain age assessment agencies to be contacted before it can be listed here!)...
So, itch is the only place I can easily buy Adult Gaymes like yours - which looks so damn hot!
Would be hot to have buttplug.io or Lovense integrated into this hot Gayme...
You don't need to restart the Game to fix the guys in the Secret Base, just leaving the base and going back usually fixes it.
Art-Style is something, that's locked-in, i.m.h.o., so that part is a "take it or leave it" situation, i.m.h.o. ...it's more caricaturist and comical than "cutesy" but still hot and sexy from my perspective since it serves the purpose of the story that is being told and helps not to take it too seriously (for most of us at least ;-P ).
Caricatures are meant to exaggerate certain aspects of physiology usually connected to characteristics/personality, if you missed that. You're welcome for the reminder, fellow middle-aged man.
I think the team is doing their best and it is a Beta-Version still, after all, so take that into account when criticizing and maybe try to suggest things, that are changeable (real art costs money since awesomely it's not A.I.-created!) and maybe not judge them too harshly because it's certain art-style by the chosen artist and changing that would probably kill the production entirely or the artist's living income, which cannot be your intention, right?
If the Game is good enough for you to get your balls drained and enjoy most of the content, that is all the Devs can wish for, because no Game ever can meet everyone's expectations! That is also a fact, and you know it.
Enjoy it and appreciate it - but if you want a Game, that meets all your expectations, you gonna have to program or at least produce it by yourself with a team and the resources needed to do that, after all.
If you can organize that, I'd be curious to see it, of course...but for now, I'm enjoying the what the Devs from Grizzly Gamer Studio are creating here and will most certainly buy it like I did their first Gayme once it's out.
Pointing out real bugs and suggesting possible/do-able things, that you know are possible for programmers, is something very helpful though.
But you've already mentioned, that you're not sure about what's possible or not in a different comment, so I doubt you're aware of most of the limitations since you haven't tried/done it by yourself already before?
A lotta things are possible these days of course, but not all at a reasonable pace or quality depending on funding - programmers need to earn a living wage, get enough rest in between work and have a private life after all, too, you know. It's not all nerds, that are pushed through one crunching overtime phase after another until they die from illness or exhaustion (that's slavery-like conditions and outside of kinky bedroom/sex scenarios, they are anything but "fun", after all. Quite a few peeps seem to have forgotten that these days and are about to create a new "iteration" of it for most of us, it seems, btw.).
Well, let's hope for the best, distract us from the problems of the World with awesome gaymes like this one here and let's be reasonable and admit to our own limits of competence when they're there. Maybe reflect on them and be a little more kind/friendly when giving feedback, that we don't know is easily changeable or changeable at all (art style e.g.). I'm sure people also had complaints like that about "Robin Morningwood", but I loved it anyway. If there's love in the way the characters are drawn - regardless how exaggerated or not -, they are beautiful, i.m.h.o. And even with this one, I can love them as the fictional characters they are supposed to be...maybe super-humans or humans in general will grow "bigger" like that (there's been a study, that male genitals are getting bigger in younger generations, if I'm not mistaken, after all. But that has it's own set of pros/cons unfortunately - evolutionary I think there were more concerns than advantages though).
Well, the World is pretty distressing these days and people are often stuck in old patterns/habits, that they can't easily break, I'm aware. Yet trying is hard but oh so rewarding in all the non-financial ways, that truly count in a social ape-species like ours! ;-)
I just checked and Vertical Sync was activated - also the NVIDIA driver shows it is set by the application.
I've just found what my mistake was: the lower "Auto find", where you can enter the IP of the phone that has the toy connected wasn't divided by dots but dashes ( - ) and had a weird "Lovense.club" in front of the port number. After I removed that and turned off the iOS Network Setting "limit Tracking of IP address" or something along those lines (I use my phone in German but with English apps, it's a little multilingual ;-) ), the Game found the devices registered with my phone
I only felt the vibrations during matches and in the Holojerk since I didn't progress yet in the Story.
I miss to feel some vibes when the sexy minions fuck in the Secret Base though and maybe with the one animated image at the HoloPics with the images where one of the main characters jerks off to his superhuman boyfriend's pics.
It's weird though: the horizontal lines only appear when I change the level in the Secret Base, btw., despite Vertical Sync active.
Haven't seen them in the Holojerk Animations yet. So maybe that narrows the thing a bit for you?
Still feels really great to play it that way...a little distracting during matches, but also a level of real life challenge and "immersion" if you will ;-P
I so hope this will be out for sale as Robin Morningwood has been already a bit earlier when in production.
I'm gonna so get this Gayme - that supports also Lovense Toys and seems to be the first one (or they fixed their app finally or Grizzly Devs actually implemented it properly and "Wildlife" did not, who knows?) to recognize the Toys from the Remote App on my Mobile phone.
Implementation is from version 0.4.4.x though, so might be a moment here.
I've seen some rendering lines in the gayme when moving around, btw. I've limited the FPS to 60 and they're still there weirdly (running most recent NVIDIA Driver for my 2070 [without the "Super"], btw. and an i9 Intel without integrated Graphics on Win 11).
Will be testing it out on my Linux System that's older with a PhenomIIx2 Processor, NVIDIA 1060 or 1060ti - not sure anymore - but under Linux with NVIDIA drivers there, too. But Linux-Drivers from NVIDIA are less complex so far, so we'll see what's gonna happen...
That's been really fun to figure out - took me a while, too.
Contains Spoilers:
Would be hot to have like a few penalties - getting drugged and fucked maybe after a certain amount of tries. Or maybe an additional option to being made into a sex slave when using the bed after figuring it all out, filling up the sexy stud on the other side of the entrance hole and not wanting to leave just yet. I took a nap after that before opening the exit-door and thought, with full hard-on the sexy "dream" on the bed might be different, but sadly it wasn't. Would be hot to have the MC held as a cum-stud/-bull to milk him there if he wants to enjoy the service in that cool establishment ;-P
The triangles of the barcodes (there are 5 altogether) give you a hint - had to use my imagination a bit but since I had done everything, the only thing that made sense is the picture...so, just think of old foto albums and how small pictures were held fast into them without glue...then you should have it.
Water calibration is hinted on the leftover popsickle stick next to the head with the 21% underneath. Need to try around a bit in the order of the symbols depicted. Not sure anymore if the baseline was top or bottom row for that calibration (mirrored or not) though, but doesn't take that many tries to find out - and luckily there are no penalties to it.
The key-like symbols next to the head with the 21% underneath show you the exact order in which to adjust the toilet pressure configuration. You need to try around a bit since one isn't the exact symbol you see on the toilet config, but it works after trying around a bit. And do the config in the order shown on the key-symbol, too.
It took me a while to figure that one out, too... so, I didn't memorize the exact levels and order of each since clever dev also makes the images switch back to the readied toilet once it's clicked in - as with all the other riddles. But it's easy enough to figure out with approximation, i.m.h.o. and a little fiddling. Also try to switch perspectives with the baseline on top and bottom, and after a couple of tries (less than 10) it worked for me...
I don't quite know what the 21% means either, but the key-like symbols on the right of that head with the 21% underneath is the key to configure the toilet water pressure after filling the tank...need to try around a bit and do it in the order depicted on the key! Since the screen switches away once you got it, no screenshots are possible but trying around with approximation of the 4 levels of each symbol brings you to the solution sooner or later. But the order of them is important, too!
Spoiler ahead...don't read if you wanna puzzle it out yourself!
You need two more and then you have the order in which to tap the wall picture's corners once each in that order of the picture-frame corners depicted in the symbols with the numbers I think it starts upper left, lower right and then goes around counter-clockwise again... y.w.
Well, think of it in the order of the numbers and imagine what kind of edges it resembles...maybe check your grandma's memory albums ;-)
Since it's a puzzle game, I wanna try to keep it as a riddle but I think this already tells you quite a bit, I'm sure... ^_^ Unless you wanna get the spoiler, then I'll spoil it, too.
Love it: sexy, hot, simple and creative - had to buy it and hope it can be funded to be completed at some point. Not sure it might if it's on a Deadline in this Economy though. But already spread the word on Bsky and gonna do so on Mastodon, too - since I've deleted my profile on the FasXist site a while ago already.
Well, if you can read the link and it's a valid subscribestar link even when hovering over it, you are winning at the media/internet literacy game, after all - and if it weren't the proper link, it would have been removed by now - as all others seem to have been by the devs/moderators! So, differentiating between scam links and links, that help the team, would be a really helpful skill - for those alarming as much as those reading them, wouldn't you agree, @midnightlua21 ? Generalizing this, insinuates most people are too ignorant or unskilled to be capable of doing that, i.m.h.o. - and I do not quite think so, despite me also having been utterly disappointed by many people's (willful) ignorance in the past. But I believe people can grow smarter and learn to recognize scam-links from links, that are valid/helpful.
Still: thanks for reminding people to at least be careful before clicking links - that I also recommend doing.
But I literally copy-pasted the link to the Devs' Subcribestar-Post where it shows which Tiers are eligible for the advanced version with the extra fiend. Feel free to check it yourself by using the Devs' Subscribestar-Link, then go to the post and compare the two links (mine and the one you find) and then tell me, if I was trying to deceive anyone again please.
Thanks for your differentiation and concern for people's cyber-security - both can exist at the same time. But mistrusting everyone generally doesn't lead to good places in a Society/Civilization entirely founded on trust...and specialized so much, that each and everyone of us depends on thousands to millions of people trusted enough to do their jobs well enough so hardly anyone of us dies from their neglect, mistake (humans make those and the smart ones learn from them and try to mitigate their consequences if they can).
Their Subscribe-Star Page says the "Super-Sponsor!" - Tier at 8.50 USD gives access to it - and the higher ones, too, of course.

Since the current .exe-file doesn't have the icon.png's cool Icon implemented and shows up with the Standard RPG-Maker Symbol, I just used GIMP to export a quick Windows-Icon-file from the png in the Icon-folder (which is awesome since under Linux the PNG-file is much more useful for the Launcher - which is run through/with the compatibility layer there anyway until you "bake" a native Linux version of this one, too at least - there) and manually changed the Shortcut's image to the actual Game Icon that way, so it doesn't look so generic on the Desktop 😏 😜 .
Unfortunately I cannot upload it, but I think even Paint or any other simple Image Processing Program (like IrfanView, for example) should be capable of exporting an .ico - version of an image, I'd reckon.
That's great news, because for me, the "action-based" combat increases my dis-stress-levels quite significantly more than the turn-based one, where I can enjoy the gayme much more/better.
Despite your "losing scenes" being worth seeing and enjoying, after the x-th time, you know the "joy" is gone and replaced by utter frustration!
And for those who aren't as quick in their perception and sensual processing anymore, I think it's really great to know, you implement the "old" round-based system again, too. Because this way, those who seek the "thrill", can add it, but those who'd rather not, aren't bothered by it and still can enjoy the most important part of the gayme: the story and all the naughty scenes then, too.
Gatekeeping them with certain reaction times necessary would be really inaccessible and diminishing the enjoyment for those less "quick" in their hand-eye coordination for whatever reason (disability, age, [chronic] illness .... cognitive decline can have so many reasons).
I'm glad you're keeping that part of your audience engaged, too, since you plan to have both kinds of gameplay choices present in the final gayme.
Btw, will you continue the 1st part of Grove further, too is is that considered "finished" (since version-wise it stopped at 0.30x if I remember correctly?) and discontinued development-wise (since you showed-off your code-cleanup in comparison to this new one, I was wondering about that)? - I mean, if someone had the "muse" to help you clean-up / transition the code to the new format/convention, would that be an option for you or not?
Cheers and looking forward to the new story and where our sexy dragon will be dragged to now❣️
Hope he also gets at least one or two possible "Happy Endings" with his fellow sexy hunks of dragon-bros❣️Mindless bliss has its perks but mindful one, too, after all 😏 😜
