itch.io

No, it will stay as a sub; I plan to just keep adding content/features indefinitely, anyway.  You are right that the main story is almost done, but there's more side content and features I have ideas for.

Also, it's totally fine to only sub for a month or two -- I designed it to be easy for people to sub in and sub out conveniently.  I know a lot of people will only want to play for one month out of the year to check on the new stuff and then go play other games and not check back in for another year and let the new content build up in the meantime.  I do this myself sometimes, too, so I understand.  I still appreciate the support regardless :)

WASD and look with mouse

(no phone controls currently)

It's more of a wiki-style system, so anyone can go in and add their favorite games :)

Hopefully it is just a temporary issue, Itch.io is a great resource for adult game fans & devs and I very much want to see adult gaming still have a place on this website.

In the meanwhile though, horni.io is another option run specifically by adult game devs

Not currently; maybe one day character visualizer will be finished if I can ever get the art for that sorted, but for now and the immediate future is 100% text only, sorry

No

You're welcome :)

I see there's a problem with DNS.  Your DNS server is telling your browser that skycorp is operating on your local network, which it is not.  

If you have some kind of unusual antivirus or ad blocking software, that could be the reason.  (Normal program like Windows Defender or uBlock, etc is fine, but some unusual antivirus or ad block software may hijack DNS and break things)  If not, it may just be a faulty DNS server.  

Recommend that if you have an unusual antivirus software / adblocker, try disabling and reboot (to clear caches) and then try again.

If not or that does not fix it, you should use a different DNS server:  example steps for setting to google or opendns DNS server on windows.

Wiki I think has one; if you need help beyond what's on the wiki, feel free to ask on the forum also

Got it; I suspect there is a problem with your internet connection, firewall, or DNS resolution.  I would like for you to try a couple ping tests to see if that would narrow down the problem.

Please open a command prompt (I think on windows you can do this by pressing Windows Key + R, then type "CMD" in the box)

In the command prompt, type "ping skycorp.global"  If it works, it will say something like "reply from 66.42.66.108: bytes=32 time=Xms TTL=127".  If it doesn't work, please let me know what it says.

Also, please try just the same way doing a "ping 66.42.66.108" and see if that works or not.

Finally, let's test "ping kiki.bunny.net" and "ping 91.200.176.1"

Thank you for letting me know; we are not having any downtime currently so can you please tell me more about the problem?  

1)  It sounds like you are using google chrome -- what device are you trying on, also?

2)  Do you mean it just times out when you are trying to access it, or do you get a specific error?  

3)  Do certain pages work, but not others?  Like maybe home is broken but blog or builds works?

It doesn't work though if I plan to continue developing the game over a period of years.  I agree, everyone would just buy permanent, and then I'd be out of development funding in six months.  I tried one time purchase when the game launched, and it was a disaster.  Game almost died back then.  I'm not making the same mistake again.

I've been updating the game for over ten years at this point, adding new content, features, etc.  It just isn't viable to release it as one time purchase if I want to keep working on it over very long time periods.

Steam is a cool platform, and I could even release it as subscription on Steam -- but it'd have to cost more there due to the heavy 30% fee valve charges.  I don't think people would realize it was cheaper direct from dev than via steam.  Also, I'd have to put up with constant review bombing of people having unrealistic expectations -- for steam gamers value is very important, and so most people there have a conception that indie games should cost basically nothing / wait for massive sales.  But that's not sustainable which is why you see so many abandoned early access projects on Steam.  The majority of steam devs make extremely little, nowhere near enough to live off for what they sell their games for.  Mass market games can do very well, but super niche stuff like this isn't going to perform well there.  My options for Steam is that I could price the game unsustainably cheap and be out of business in six months, or price it at sustainable prices and not sell anything there and it be a waste of time with a 0% review score.  So I like steam, but I view it as no way to succeed there.

I am certainly willing to add steam-inspired features such as achievements, etc though!

Not currently, sorry

Good idea!

I can't even get a subway sandwich for $10, where are you finding whole kidneys?! :p

I'm not planning on substar specifically, but I have plans to try adding an additional option in future and will try to make sure it supports prepaid.

There isn't a download version, but you should be able to play it in browser

This might have been when I was doing some server stuff, it should be working now

Heh, maybe!  I really, really want to do a character visualizer at least.  The code is mostly written for it, but it's a ton of art assets that's needed for it so the visualizer is kinda stalled.  Maybe this will be the year?

Is there male to female TF?  I played for a while but couldn't find anything that changed player's gender -- any tips?

There is extended dragon temple available for subscribers where you can return to the temple and eventually get re-collared, but doesn't directly involve Nixie

Excellent point, I will make sure to have it be optional if it happens

Yes; it is currently possible to start as female in chapter skip (ch2+), although certain parts of the game might not reference this (ex: clothier shop NPC talks about you starting as male) and there are some situations where you might get reset to male and have to TG back for one of the chapters.  I may eventually add this for new game (ch1) start as well (with the same caveat).  So it's maybe not as comprehensive as you'd be looking for (?), but there is some limited support for it.

Check the wiki for some hints :)

No

Monthly

No, the demo version is not intended to be updated

I don't have any concrete plans in the near future, but I still would like to one day maybe

Before it launches?  It's a somewhat large download (like 17 megs).  Also it only works on desktop right now.

Thanks :)  No firm plans on finishing the visualizer, but it is something I'd really like to do and think would be really cool.

Thank you! :)

No, sorry.  May be in future have a character visualizer one day, though.

There is some information here about using either the APK or PWA if you want an icon on your phone to launch it (it's basically just a browser but with an icon, some extra fullscreen support, and update notification feature)

thanks for suggestion :)

In chapter 2, go to swamp and lose to slug girl (cannot currently be frog)

That's just not a viable business model for a project this niche, sorry. 

No, demo is the first three chapters (fox, slug/frog, and dragon queen)

I accept your apology and forgive; FYI I have even played some of your work and enjoyed :)

Where did I threaten you?

Edit: If you're referring to:

> I did not make any criticisms about your own projects.

This was not intended as a threat, this was only pointing out what you were doing that was out of bounds prior to the removal.  I do thank you for removing it, though.
