Hello, I received a copy of your game through steam through my curator.
Am I correct in assuming it's a beta early build? and what happening with the singular achievement that the game had? is this you testing them and will it have more?
I did end up buying your game anyway because I was toying with the idea too much. I understand why you do what you do, I'm not that strung up about it but I felt like it needs to be known it's quite an inconvienance. Especially for new buyers like myself. Nobody likes being told to go somewhere else.
Like why is it paywalled at such a steep price on Patreon. Your previous comments under me 11days ago said $15. Obviously you want support as a developer for your future projects etc, which is why you have your exclusives over there, but this is DLC for here. Are you considering making it more accessible?
I saw your game is back for sale on steam and now your harlots dlc is missing, you say it got caught in the r18 ban? except you can still sell r18 content here. It's a soft ban and visa/mastercard still payout for adult content.
I don't understand why you're making people go to your patreon and spend $15USD for it instead - which costs more than the game does right now. So if we lose access to the DLC and want it back, people have to pay AGAIN to resub to your patreon.
I had the same issue when I felt you were funneling people off steam to patreon during the downtime, and now it's back I'm sadly disappointed and no longer want to buy your game. After your tax mishap and revoking keys 4 months ago, I thought you would be more considerate for how you distrubuted your games.
FYI: Developer has abandoned the Steam version of this game, deleted their social media and haven't posted anything for 6months-1year. The steam discussion mentions 2 different game crashes and achievement resetting bugs. For a successfully kickstarted game with a $20 price tag its unacceptable.
The game resets your achievements EVERY single time you launch it. Thus removing the achieves you've already unlocked and they cant be gotten again..
You have to mess around with your user appdata folder and swap save files in/out whilst the game is running in order to unlock the achievements again. Now I can never relaunch this game again because it will delete my steam achievements again..
Ah okay, thanks for replying ^^ Looking forward to seeing what you do with a fuller release. I've played paper please and that's not my neighbor before which are similar.
I think because of the orange hue/white balance in your artstyle, especially with the rise of the studio ghibli style generated pieces lately, it put that question in my head. Just thought I'd ask!
Your game looks interesting, I've followed you so I don't forget about you. I have downloaded and played for about 10minutes or so.
The game is visually stunning with the artstyle but I have a question about Generative AI usage, I don't see any warnings in the description but it's being utilised for the backgrounds and stuff. I'm not saying this to cause offence but I think it needs to be mentioned.
I get that you're passionate about your work but making a point in your description about how different this is - when in actuality a lot of VN's have choice driven and dynamic stories that remember past interactions. I can tell from what you've written you're quite ambitious but I will say the setting of the story is pretty unique. You're different in that sense rather than how your game operates.
With you mentioning sexual content, does that mean there will be NSFW/Adult content in the future? also, are you considering adding your game to Steam in the future,
The world is not ending over 8 dislikes. Plus you commented a day after I posted it. If it makes you feel better piggybacking off that, then good for you. Don't know what to tell ya.
I don't need your encouragements nor self insertion to tell me what I am the target audience of and what I should go and enjoy.
You have yourself a good day now too.
