You do know he hasn't released it to the public yet right?.... also those are 3 valid reasons for a game development... what about Indie porn game? any guidlines on that?Looks like i'm exactly 20 minutes late with this post, but anyways:
There's three ways of handling game development that work.
1. Release early and fix early, thus turning players into alpha testers. This sadly works (so long as you're not charging full price) because of the "early access" excuse.
2. "When it's ready". This obviously works (and you can charge full), because no matter how long it takes, you deliver something that works. So long as you time the hype train right (don't start it too early, or it runs outta steam before release), you can basically take as long as you like (or you have funds), because the result speaks for itself.
3. Episodic release. This is kinda like #2, because the players still expect stable releases, but if most of the gamedev is content creation, then you can finish one chapter, release that and then work on the next.
What the developer is trying with this project kinda is a mess of all three: He wants to release before basic features like savegames are ready, but also take forever to get it right, and on top of this release one episode at a time.
I cannot think of any sane user (and i realize there are plenty who are not), who prefers a devmodel like this. Please understand i'm in no way saying the dev is doing bad work. On the contrary, animopron is known to release highly polished work. And from a developer's POV, this game - or rather the EP - is "almost done": It's very performant, the UI and controls are intuitive, the content is polished... basically the only things left to do are a few leftover bugs and features.
Problem is from a player's POV, those bugs are gamebreakers and showstoppers - stuff that wouldn't even be in a beta. So again: I'm not questioning the developer's competence at... developing. From a developer POV, this is looking great. Instead i'm questioning the releasemodel, since this way or releasing a game seems to combine every possible way of annoying players.
Main reason is because it is patreon funded. When its ready and Episodic only works when you aren't paid monthly by people expecting some return on their buck immediately. The average supporter isn't like a traditional publisher, so he is kind of forced to do it as such. And honestly most porn funded games are released in this manner and its terrible, but what can you do?Looks like i'm exactly 20 minutes late with this post, but anyways:

Try opening your faucet and letting it run a bit.I can't pee in the bowl, I've tried so many times, but I can't. Can someone help me
So you're saying someone posted a fake link. I don't know why anyone would allow "liars" to post anything here, especially in any forums.You do know he hasn't released it to the public yet right?
i don't get why he wants to do a game so badly, nobody cares about the shit story or the easy puzzles, we just want to see the scenes, just go with wild life route, add a bunch of sex poses, should be way easier and faster than doing a 2 hour video like BTQMain reason is because it is patreon funded. When its ready and Episodic only works when you aren't paid monthly by people expecting some return on their buck immediately. The average supporter isn't like a traditional publisher, so he is kind of forced to do it as such. And honestly most porn funded games are released in this manner and its terrible, but what can you do?
Especially because the When its ready and Episodic only works if you have accumulated a vast amount of wealth to develop at your desired pace. Like if the average programmer makes 100k a year in the US, and you had 2 programmers and some artists and such support staff, even a small project expected to take 2 years would require you to have accumulated 2-5 million USD to pay all the wages and expenses. Most indies don't have that kind of dough, so they either need a publisher (which rarely touches porn) or patreon or some other method.
Yeaaah,no. Maybe you want to see only scenes so all 3d games should be scene viewers. There are many people like this but there are as much as many who want these scenes to be connected to each other. Porn, high quality porn has a little backstory or plot because it makes sex so much better when you had to do or to think of something before you see it. It works in real life this way and here too, so no, this should not be a scene viewer. It is much better as a game because I am not watching a movie, I am doing something to get that porn, at least some efforti don't get why he wants to do a game so badly, nobody cares about the shit story or the easy puzzles, we just want to see the scenes, just go with wild life route, add a bunch of sex poses, should be way easier and faster than doing a 2 hour video like BTQ
i understand, but this is not the case of BitS, you don't need to think or do anything, there's no effort, you get hit 3 times by the raptor or mummy to watch the scene, you use weird lube on the statue to watch a scene, this game has nothing to offer besides the sex scenes, the puzzles are not even that hard and the story is just a horny MC and all her lines are about how she's horny, that's why animo should just add a bunch of scenes with sandbox like wild life and keep doing his weird story if anyone wants to play itYeaaah,no.

Im sure he will add a scene player sooner or later but for now its just early state. But personally i like his storys a lot ^^i understand, but this is not the case of BitS, you don't need to think or do anything, there's no effort, you get hit 3 times by the raptor or mummy to watch the scene, you use weird lube on the statue to watch a scene, this game has nothing to offer besides the sex scenes, the puzzles are not even that hard and the story is just a horny MC and all her lines are about how she's horny, that's why animo should just add a bunch of scenes with sandbox like wild life and keep doing his weird story if anyone wants to play it
breh these forums are designed for LEAKED stuff... leaked implying the creator HAS Not released it to all the publicSo you're saying someone posted a fake link. I don't know why anyone would allow "liars" to post anything here, especially in any forums.
LWH3, holy fuck yes yes yesthere are 2 easter egg movies in the files. I'm assuming they will be unlockable scenes in the game eventually
