Thanks for the additional feedback, guys.
I'll have to think about the incest patch thing. The issue is that it's not as easy as just changing nick names in this case. Since there's an entire spell setting in the game that decides whether the incest is hidden or shown. I'd have to remove the spell setting entirely from the base game, and re-write TONS of dialogue. The game has many split paths already where the dialogue written is completely different depending on which option you select. It's probably less effort for me to switch to subscribestar if I get booted off of patreon than to redo 30% of everything I've done up to this point.
But, like I mentioned above, I don't host the game on patreon anyway so my thinking is that this will hopefully be fine. We'll see if patreon decides they have the authority to ban me because I also happen to be creating content that they object to, in a place that is not owned by patreon.
for kaorok :
Where did you see that typo? Do you remember? It will be easier for me to find/fix it if you could help me out with that.
Regarding your suggestions...
2. I have reference pictures already gathered for a catgirl, but I haven't drawn her yet. I also have a sidequest that involves a harpy that is already written... but I haven't drawn her yet either. We'll get them 'eventually!' Drawing is the slowest part of the process for me. I spent over 60 hours just making the art for the demo, and that doesn't include the art that didn't make it into the game.
3. Yeah, polls are going to be a big part of the development of APC. I plan to make a new poll after every release
(and here's a little bit of unsolicited hype: version 0.14 is gonna be next weekend at the latest)
4. Totally agree. I had to make decisions about which areas I could leave empty and which ones needed to have NPCs. My general rule is that the throne room and bar scenes described having bystanders, and so I added bystanders. I can give them dialogue later on.
I'm glad you mentioned the default walking speed. I can easily make Raptor go faster and it's not something I would have thought to do until someone mentioned it.
Sign Post at the school is a little sample of things to come with regards to fast travel, as well as the Queen's Key you get when you send the Queen to the tower. Basically, the ability to warp around Bellute will be a feature in later versions of the game. It's another one of those things that I would have loved to include in the demo but... at a certain point I had to release something to the public, even if that means it doesn't have all of the features that v1.00 will have.
Throne Room: With Virility set to high. If you're about to cum, you'll get a special scene where you can get her pregnant with 100% and even decide which type of pregnancy she has. With Virility set to medium, you get the normal 9% chance if you cum inside of her.
Tower: With Virility set to medium you get the normal 9% chance if you cum inside her. High increases this to a 100% chance but there's no special options.
You can only have sex with the Queen one time currently. Either in the throne room or the tower. Next version should be adding the ability to give birth so she can go back to her default Slave Queen state if she is currently pregnant. Version after that I can add the ability to have sex with her again when she's in her Slave Queen state.
Making the repeatable sex scenes is more work than you might imagine, and there's another reason which isn't as immediately obvious. I don't want a player to have too many children in such an early version of the demo before I later add the features where the number of children has significance to the gameplay.

There's currently two ways to get her pregnant.
Throne Room: With Virility set to high. If you're about to cum, you'll get a special scene where you can get her pregnant with 100% and even decide which type of pregnancy she has. With Virility set to medium, you get the normal 9% chance if you cum inside of her.
