Yeah the far less popular part is the problem. If something were to happen to my Patreon account, I don't think many people would jump right over to Subscribestar, sadly.
Actually, i wouldn't be so sure.
If you can gather a loyal following with the ever-improving quality of your work... then they will support you til death do you part.
Even gonna go as far as getting star account just to support you. But, creating such a following.. is not a walk in the park. :giggle::coffee:
I agree. @Nota Bao was banned from Patreon (temporarily?) for using real porn gifs.
But more than half of the games on that site use real porn gifs.
Yup, that's simply yet another example of them following their rather arbitrary mood swings. :whistle::coffee:
However I don't want to piss off Patreon, so I must bow to my supreme Patreon overlords as long as most of my income comes from there.
Indeed. We arrived at the primary issue.
Far too many devs kowtow to Patreon simply because they have no choice, which curbs their creativity something fierce.
Among other things.
As of now Patreon doesn't have a reliable, solid competition, especially one that can reliably deal with the budding porn game industry.
Monopoly really sucks doesn't it? It annoys the hell outa me to no end... :cautious::coffee:

My ISP is a monopoly but not for much longer, they've finally installed google fiber in my area.

No idea when I can switch, apparently they're doing a lot more neighborhoods before I can.

Two months ago my ISP raised the price of internet from $80/month to $300/month because "my contract expired", and they refused to reimburse me the amount. My ISP doesn't even display the full price of internet outside of a contract in their fine print either, so they can basically charge whatever they want.

Was able to get my bill back down to 95/month (ugh), but they forced me to pay $300 for only 1 month of subpar internet.

Monopolies do suck.

Hi, currently enjoying the game, but noticed a bug when playing on mopoga. Whilst in the starless groves the game will switch to the College Daze start screen, I don't know if this is only on mopoga or if you used College Daze for a guide\template for your game and something got missed. NO shade from me, why re-invent the wheel when it works so well.

Nope, College Daze was not used as a template. Just keep playing and you'll see.

Fair enough, but I am playing on TV and it makes it harder to restart re-do content if I screw up so I thought I would be helpful and point out a possible issue to save others on mobile or like me from experiencing potential frustration when you lose a lot of progress when you forget to save regularly.

Sorry, I hope I didn't come off as a jerk. I was just teasing a bit.

I'm not sure what you mean by it being harder to restart/redo content on a tv. Is there an issue with the resolution?

There is potential for a bad end if you make the wrong choices. Perhaps I should change it so you wake up at home and pass the event regardless, or have you wake up at home before the event.

I'll consider how to adjust it.

I fully understand your intensions, but for me the TV (not the game) back button cans you out of the game and takes you to the previous page i.e the main games page, so I genuinely was screwed, as I had no way to undo my action once I refreshed ,so I had to go back to my previous save and it was only when I received your reply was I able to understand that it wasn't a website error. even typing or negotiating the site is a pain using my TV remote. so I was just trying to be helpful. If I was on my currently unavailable PC then there wouldn't have been an issue, so I understand your puzzlement. Do keep up the good work.

Ah it should be the same on a computer.

You should have a arrow in the top left corner that lets you open the game menu.
At the top of that is a back arrow, you should be able to go back with that (FYI, it won't work during the college daze event. It was extremely difficult just getting it to look right in the first place.)

Edit: If there's something I'm missing or still not understanding, please let me know.

So, decided to replay v51.
Bruh, i think you forgot to adjust rewards for the 'hard' difficulty in some places, among other things. :sneaky::coffee:

sdfsdfsdf.png

*I get 300+ cum for a single goblin on hard in the first section of the forest, but here i get 66 from fucking a pack.
Strangely enough, fucking two goblins still gets me the same reward as fucking one.

*"Punishment" for not paying the tax collector needs adjustment, supposedly we spend 7 days blowing dudes yet gain less than 50 cum. And it seems like it doesn't scale all that well with player level either.
*The purple lust crest doesn't seem to be working on event-type rewards such as this "punishment" by tax collector.
*Text size adjustment needs to be fixed i think, it makes text too large or too small, like it skips 5 sizes at once instead of increasing/decreasing by one.

*Bug when energy refills itself still seem to be happening.

*In battle with lvl 4 wolves my spell decided to disappear out of nowhere, when i used two spells the third went somewhere. (Had three: Fire, Water, Lightning.) Seem to be a rare bug but does happen from time to time.
bruhwheremahspellswent.png

*The tentacle in the forest which is supposedly patreon-only content is for some reason unlocked in v51, i don't care about cheats so i won't be using it anyway but i was wondering if this was intended.

*Perhaps a mistake:
yougobwotbru.png

*Brothel sorely lacks scenes.

*Maybe transformation should work on male opponents, bet that would be funny.
All these self-proclaimed giga-chads suddenly turning into a 'weak' girl. :sneaky::coffee:

*There might be some bug when using transformation on eligible targets, you click a couple times on the 'transformation' button, and nothing seem to be happening, but then you click on charm and boom, suddenly we won after successfully TFing our target. Weird. x_x"

*Would be neat if another 'continue' button would appear at the top of the after-battle page, so you don't have to scroll down every bloody time you finish fighting something. :HideThePain::coffee:

Play version 0.52 next month when it's free, I think that's my best update so far! Even after the catastrophe that should have delayed it. :)

What level are you when you fight the wolves? The rewards disappear the higher level you are in comparison to the enemy. I've tested this a few times and have been unable to duplicate any errors regarding it.

As to the goblins, I know the scene shows two goblins but you only fought one so I didn't adjust the reward at all. Just tried to make more interesting scenes. Not including bosses, there's only 1 enemy that gives extra rewards.

*"Punishment" for not paying the tax collector needs adjustment, supposedly we spend 7 days blowing dudes yet gain less than 50 cum. And it seems like it doesn't scale all that well with player level either.
If I remember correctly I have it setup so the amount you receive is based on your reputation in town.
I think I capped it at 100 because I didn't want players to be able to buy everything 'too quickly' as there is only so much stuff you can buy with cum. (and even less with copper).

*The purple lust crest doesn't seem to be working on event-type rewards such as this "punishment" by tax collector.
Yeah, it only works in battle. But you're right, I should go back and add it to those scenes too, though.

*Text size adjustment needs to be fixed i think, it makes text too large or too small, like it skips 5 sizes at once instead of increasing/decreasing by one.
Fixed in 0.52.
This and the color options were moved to the settings button.
Additionally in 0.52, clicking images expands them instead of hovering over them.

*Bug when energy refills itself still seem to be happening.
If I remember correctly, this was a very rare bug so I haven't fixed it. But I'll take another look at it. I remember how it's happening. Essentially there was an older bug (never released) that would basically kill your web browser because it would loop over and over. I fixed it by refilling your stamina before the return to town event, so it fixed the loop.
I believe this bug only happens in the forest though as I handled energy differently in every other dungeon.
Still, shouldn't be too hard to fix now, I'll take another look at it.

*In battle with lvl 4 wolves my spell decided to disappear out of nowhere, when i used two spells the third went somewhere. (Had three: Fire, Water, Lightning.) Seem to be a rare bug but does happen from time to time.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at in your screenshot, you attacked then the wolves then you, then the wolves. The third attack is cut off by the window, but do you happen to have the steps you took for this to happen?

*The tentacle in the forest which is supposedly patreon-only content is for some reason unlocked in v51, i don't care about cheats so i won't be using it anyway but i was wondering if this was intended.
It's no longer patron only.
Too many people complained about "patron only content" so I basically made everything available for everyone. This may have been a poor idea however, as I lost 100 patrons after doing so. :')
Too late to take it back.

It looks like this meant in comparison to a human, I'll go back and word it a bit better.

*Brothel sorely lacks scenes.
Agreed...
There are several new scenes when you get to chapter 3's brothel though! Including VIP scenes!
I'm thinking about one future update where I focus entirely on adding more scenes for exploration, more sexy scenes to the brothel, etc.

I added more scenes when I rebuilt the brothel in chapter 3.5, I intend to add more scenes in chapter 4 to.

*Maybe transformation should work on male opponents, bet that would be funny.
All these self-proclaimed giga-chads suddenly turning into a 'weak' girl. :sneaky::coffee:
That was definitely planned. Could have sworn I had done it on one or two male enemies.
But I got overwhelmed writing so many NSFW scenes, which is why these and the brothel scenes have suffered a bit.

I get a crazy amount of requests for beastiality sex using them. Which is understandable and most people are pretty cool when I tell them I'm uncomfortable writing those. Some people get really pushy, though.

*There might be some bug when using transformation on eligible targets, you click a couple times on the 'transformation' button, and nothing seem to be happening, but then you click on charm and boom, suddenly we won after successfully TFing our target. Weird. x_x"
There should be a message saying something like "they're fidgeting with their pants" or something. You still need to charm them 1 time after transforming them. Their charm resist drops to 1 so it should be guaranteed after a successful TF.
If you're not getting a message that "hints" about it, or if the hint isn't good enough, let me know.

*Would be neat if another 'continue' button would appear at the top of the after-battle page, so you don't have to scroll down every bloody time you finish fighting something. :HideThePain::coffee:
Yeah that's something I've been working on.
Starting with the dreams, but I'll be adding it to more repeat scenes too.

Thanks for the feedback!


Can you be more specific on what I have to do?
So void pretty much gave you exactly what you need to do for this event.

What level are you when you fight the wolves?
I was rather low level when that screenshot was made, goblins gave 300 per body.
I don't remember the level but since this screenshot was made in the first section of the forest then it was likely level 1-3 or 1-5 no more. Also i don't recall how much wolves gave, this observation is based purely on goblins. :whistle::coffee:
As to the goblins, I know the scene shows two goblins but you only fought one so I didn't adjust the reward at all. Just tried to make more interesting scenes. Not including bosses, there's only 1 enemy that gives extra rewards.
Hm, come to think of it, the fights are always one-on-one huh..
Perhaps you should start giving the player tougher fights, against multiple opponents at the same time, because honestly so far the hard difficulty doesn't impress, i simply squeeze every last drop of exp out of everything and become too powerful for anyone. :whistle::coffee:
But then again, i'd say my style of play is not quite common anymore, kids these days don't have the patience to grind like i do.
Still, would be neat if mobs/bosses got some mechanics that can't be nullified with the power you get from leveling up.
If I remember correctly I have it setup so the amount you receive is based on your reputation in town.
I think I capped it at 100 because I didn't want players to be able to buy everything 'too quickly' as there is only so much stuff you can buy with cum. (and even less with copper).
Surely you jest. Do you think anything prevents players from just grinding the brothel all day long and buying everything they want quickly anyway? Especially considering that the rewards at the brothel keep increasing the more you grind it.
So yeah, we're still perfectly capable of buying everything and doing it rather quickly, all thanks to the brothel that gives you tons of cash and cum. :sneaky::coffee:
Fixed in 0.52.
This and the color options were moved to the settings button.
Additionally in 0.52, clicking images expands them instead of hovering over them.
Yeah, figured these were in v52 since i haven't seen them in 51.
Meh, maybe should have waited for v52.. ah well, quite far to stop now. :whistle::coffee:

Too many people complained about "patron only content" so I basically made everything available for everyone. This may have been a poor idea however, as I lost 100 patrons after doing so. :')

Hm, how about this idea:
Every X months, you add new patron-only exclusives to the game.
Kind of like they do it in all those mmorpg games where they add new cosmetics and shit all the time so people keep spending money.
Then, after making and adding new exclusives for the patrons, you make old patron-only exclusives public.

This way you entertain patrons with new stuff you come up with, and you entertain free players with old stuff now made public.
The demerit is you'll get more work having to come up with new patron exclusives every X months or so.
But perhaps it'll be worth it, since you'll be keeping everyone happy this way. ;):coffee:

That's great, since i'm already there. Playing with teaching Rhelyla transformation tricks atm, i love her so much. <3
Btw that guest writer (Eins was it) is not bad at all, i'd even say he's pretty good, you can definitely work together with him more. (y):coffee:

Great. (y):coffee:

I don't think you did.. though i gave up on trying it on males pretty fast since after trying and failing a couple times i figured this gig was a no-go. But i'm glad you have this planned. :devilish::coffee: Take care not to burn out, it's one of the biggest reasons why devs give up on their projects and dictch them. If you feel the burn, just place this game on-hold and start working on another one til you feel good again, then you can resume and continue to shuffle between two games. That's one way of going at it without burning out.
or if the hint isn't good enough, let me know.
At first i thought you succeed TFing the target only when you crit, but i'm not sure. Honestly, the whole thing is a bit convoluted, i think enemy-TF would benefit if you made it more... prominent? clearer? visible? that it proc'd on the enemy. I think i'd appreciate that.
Perhaps you should start using colored text for important things like this, i haven't seen you doing that at all (unless i forgot lol) and i think you should start. (Make sure this overrides player text coloring though.) ;):coffee:
Also the combat log could use adjustment, the way it works at the moment i often have a hard time telling where the most recent entry is at lmao. :ROFLMAO::coffee: Perhaps the most recent entry in the combat log should be in colored text as well to help locating it quickly. :whistle::coffee:

Odd, the type of enemy shouldn't make a difference since I do the calculations based on how the enemy is defeated and what level the enemy is compared to you... hmm...

I'm not against this but it would require me to rebuild the battle system yet again, so I'm pretty hesitant. At least for now.
If I build another battle system for another game though, I'll definitely be doing it differently.

But then again, i'd say my style of play is not quite common anymore, kids these days don't have the patience to grind like i do.
I hear you. The number of times I've played FF6 and FF9.
I'm not big on grinding in modern games... Depending on the game, but for some reason old FF games, xenogears, legend of dragoon, parasite eve, etc. Maybe due to nostalgia, none of it bothers me.


Surely you jest. Do you think anything prevents players from just grinding the brothel all day long
Not until chapter 3.5 ;)


Yeah, figured these were in v52 since i haven't seen them in 51.
Meh, maybe should have waited for v52.. ah well, quite far to stop now. :whistle::coffee:
Well, if you're patient enough. v52 comes out on my website in roughly 1.5 weeks. You'll be able to continue from wherever you left off...

However, I'd actually recommend waiting for version 0.52 anyways before you start the second half of chapter 3 as it's a drastic improvement and completes the area which will fix a certain issue that was impossible for me to avoid in version 0.51 (can't say what it is due to spoilers).

In short, I had to move things around in version 0.51 a bit because there was no way I was completing the entire chapter, and I was able to place them back in their proper places in update version 0.52, which releases for free on 05/01 on my website or 05/03 publicly.

Hm, how about this idea:
Every X months, you add new patron-only exclusives to the game.
Kind of like they do it in all those mmorpg games where they add new cosmetics and shit all the time so people keep spending money.
Then, after making and adding new exclusives for the patrons, you make old patron-only exclusives public.
Yeah, I've tried coming up with ideas for this. Like outfits or something. I'm not too sure, but it is extra work to create a seperate version for free players.

I'm not too sure. :/

That's great, since i'm already there. Playing with teaching Rhelyla transformation tricks atm, i love her so much. <3
Btw that guest writer (Eins was it) is not bad at all, i'd even say he's pretty good, you can definitely work together with him more. (y):coffee:
Yeah, I was originally planning to write those scenes but Eins offered.

Eins is way better at adding emotion to lewd scenes than I am, and he writes fantastic scenes.
I've offered to pay him, but he's refused for DG. We have talked about paying him for other games though in the future. I've even suggested the idea of making a game together.
I really enjoy working with him.

I don't think you did.. though i gave up on trying it on males pretty fast since after trying and failing a couple times i figured this gig was a no-go. But i'm glad you have this planned. :devilish::coffee:
Yeah, I think one of these updates I need to just spend on filling back content.
I'm so happy with the exploration of chapter 3.5 that I kind of want to go back and redo a lot in my original forest. Though I have no idea what I'd do differently.

Take care not to burn out,
I've been getting burnt out a lot lately, and I've been really eager to move onto another game. I wish I had made this game shorter. It's mostly the sheer number of NSFW scenes I have to write for this game that burns me out. I actually enjoy writing the overall story, but it's hard to come up with so many NSFW scenes.

That said, I won't bail on this game, or rush it. I'd hate for my first game to be another one of those canceled games.
If I make another game as long as this one though, with as many paths as I've done, I really hope to have a backup writer or something next time. In the future I'll try and do things a bit simpler, though I still want to enjoy the stories I tell.


At first i thought you succeed TFing the target only when you crit, but i'm not sure. Honestly, the whole thing is a bit convoluted, i think enemy-TF would benefit if you made it more... prominent? clearer? visible? that it proc'd on the enemy. I think i'd appreciate that.
Got it, I'll go back and review what I have it say and consider modifying it. It is a low chance of success on any enemy.
I think for male enemies that don't have a scene I changed it so it will instantly end the fight, but I don't recall for sure.

Perhaps you should start using colored text for important things like this,
Back when I used to do web dev, we were strongly advised against using colored text. I know it's common in games, but everytime I consider doing it, I end up getting college flashbacks and some of my older jobs when I used to design websites.
(I'm kinda kidding). But seriously, I do consider this but I don't want to leave color-blind people out so I've been kinda hesitant.
Not that that means it's a bad idea, still.

i often have a hard time telling where the most recent entry is at lmao. :ROFLMAO::coffee: Perhaps the most recent entry in the combat log should be in colored text as well to help locating it quickly. :whistle::coffee:
Most recent entry should always be at the bottom.
However, if you're on Firefox, it may not show up properly. I don't remember exactly what it was, but firefox had some issue with the typing text. I think I couldn't change speed or something?

However if people clicked a button before it finished typing, it ended up breaking all of the code, so I had to disable it for Firefox.
On chromium browsers you'll see a rapid typing affect.

In both cases though, the newest content should be the bottom of the window.
I'm not really happy with the battle log though, and if I change it again I may try and find a better way to handle it.

i love her so much. <3
This makes me really happy. ♥

I think she's been the most popular character I get feedback on in this game, actually.
My personal favorite is the abyssal witch.
