what I liked about the update:
- more content
what I didn't like about the update:
- obscure public release window ("maybe after 27th")
- too many choices
- all choices had zero meaning or impact to anything
- version for both chapters only in discord (and I assume, for patreons)
my suggestions going foreward:
- set a clear public release window
- have less time between supporter tier releases and public release (this means less time between tiers too. trust me, it makes zero impact on what tiers people pay for = you'll get the same money)
- let the people here know the public release date. it's only a chore for people to check it from your discord.

reduce all of the choices to:
- will charm the woman to have sex
- will rape
- don't make the player choose the same choice many times over
as many choices you have now are just going to make the game more complex to develop in the future. you wanna limit the choices to what actually matters. you don't wanna single out every type of penetration beforehand, those selections can be made during the sexual act.
accept the fact that since you are promoting your game on this site, most of your playerbase will be non-paying players.
instead of essentially trying to make them pay, rather than wait for the public release, you should offer them a reason to support you. as rule, you can't make or coax anyone support you, they'll have to want to support you.
you'll get more support when people feel it's worth it, on other levels than just getting the game earlier.
sure, we're not talking about alot of money for the tiers, but I'm willing to bet if you compare the number of downloads vs subs, you'll see that the majority is non-paying. your goal should be to get them interested in supporting you and your game.
don't seperate free info to the discord only. like I said, that's only going to be a chore to those who just wanna check the release dates or download the complete version. F95 and discord are both places where subbers and non-payers come together. it's their preferance which one they wanna use and you should cater to that. meaning don't limit free stuff to one platform.
instead utilize the functionalities of each platform respectively:
- have discord-y stuff in the discord server, like roles, bots, fan art etc.
- have stuff for the F95 people, like banners and shit.
consider other subscription platforms. patreon will not allow incest or rape!
in terms of content and characters, it's ok. models are nice. tho all women seem to be whores, but maybe that's just the style of this game.
all in all, the game so far is not bad for a beginner. tho some things should be handled better, for your workload in the future, if anything.
you should work on your release scheme and the way you handle your playerbase.
not that you're doing a bad job, but things could be better with very little changes and effort.
the better you cater to your playerbase, even if they play for free, the more interest you'll get = more subs.
I'm gonna be frank, jumping between two platforms for free stuff, is shit. just shit.
