Nobody is going to pay becouse of the banners (or the fap mode, if you want just porn... pornhub and you are done.), on the contrary, they will end up abandoning the game. There are tons of games of this style for free and without ads.
In my case, I have been playing this game for a while now and I was already thinking of contributing as I have already done with others games who deserve it for the amount of work done and that I consume.

I'm not saying don't advertise yourself, I'm saying don't make it so invasive because you ruin the game. Before there was advertising in dead zones, that was perfect ... you didn't ruin the gameplay and you advertised yourself.
Every time I updated the game, I returned to those areas that were under construction and see the advertisements (in those areas perhaps, you could even put the banners).

While the advertisements are like this, I am not going to play the game because it is painful for the eyes (at least for me that I play on a big screen). Please let me know if you remove them in any update on the change log.
First of - I'll give you some context. 3 weeks ago my patreon was deleted without notice, and I lost 80% of the game profits. This meant that I was basically fucked, especially that 2 weeks before that happened I quit my job to focus on the game development.
I was almost convinced to abandon the project. But I wanted to give it one more try. And it worked - I've worked really hard for this last 3 weeks, not sleeping, adding features and content - and I got a lot of my supporters back.
As for the ads - I added them in 0.3.15, hoping that they will bring some profit. But at the same time - my game, that I worked so hard on, was looking like shit, so I removed them and added 2 small banners instead that just ask to support. I understand that people had issue with 0.3.15 ads, but now? Every free mobile games has 5x more ads... If you play porn games on Gamcore - you're literally surrounded by ads. So why it's such a problem, that I have 2 small banners that appear on random? Writing this game is SHITLOAD of work, and you have it all for free, you can take this game apart if you want, crack it, like many people do here, turn off the ads, whatever. I actually think it's fair deal;)

Another serious problem is that of the saved games, every time I update I lose them and I have to start from the beginning.
You need to save to disk, man. I have no control over how browser works.

In the last update, I noticed that you made it very easy to increase the friendship and desire with the girls, I think you broke the balance.
Not sure which update you mean by last update. The last update brought the balance back down, it was 0.3.15 that fucked it up with triple multipliers. Now you have a difficulty setting, but the default is 200%, same as it always was.

Since I am giving my constructive criticism, I take the opportunity to tell you that putting longer videos and in HD as prizes of different events would be a good idea.
For many reasons, that's not a good idea in my opinion. Longer/bigger vids kill the browser. I've tried that already - too many people complaint. Sometimes my game displays 10-20 vids at the same time, they need to be short and SD.
But there's also a matter of copyrights. I'm taking around 5s clips because I believe that it's free marketing for those pornstars/studios. But if I start taking longer parts, someone would probably have an issue with that.
Thirdly, the game size. It's already huge, and still A lot of content is coming.

I hope my comments are useful to you, and in case you don't remove those annoying advertisements, thank you very much for the previous versions, I have had fun with your game.
I don't think I'll be removing them. It's just 2 small banners, and the one that's in the game itself appears on random, it's not even always there.

The save slot button is inactive. And if fapmod is applied, photos and videos are not visible. What the hell am I to do?

Save becomes active after the intro.
It is not active DURING scenes either

The idea for you - need to do each new tip between each other - with different colors.
Right now - its a one color mess here.
if you will do one tip with green color, next with gray (present color) and etc - it will be more readeble and beauty.

how to save this game ?

Yup. The reason is like that is because, with the way the game is built, you could reach the end of event, get all the yields that this event has to offer, save the game, and load it instantly, and you will be at the beginning of the event again, but with all the yields gathered during this event. So you could loop the game like that for infinite stats.

What I will try to do is maybe make the information on the save screen that you have to finish the event before you can save.

As for the saves - i've explained it on the top of that post. As for missing photos and vids - are you sure you're using the latest official version, and not a cracked version? Because people complaint that the cracked version makes the vids and pics disappear for some reason.
If you're playing official and it's still happening, could you send me your save game?

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I know that the list of hints looks bad, but your idea would make things even worse in my opinion - it would be just a rainbow of random colors that has nothing to do with the actual hints. I'm thinking about adding avatars of characters associated with the hints, and maybe separating them with some lines... but besides that there's not much there can be done there, i think.

Really want to say that I'm enjoying the game I just dropped over it recently

And secondly my deepest sympathy for just losing your Patreon like that it's really a garbage company when it comes to this kind of behavior, I really hope that you will pull through, and even though that the world seems unfair at the moment remember many people happy and thankful for the work that you do :)

Thanks man, good vibes are really appreciated. It was pretty dark for a moment, it's better now.

v. 0.3.22 College quest
Ok, so this update brings on board first of the promised new quests - "College, here I come!". It's basically an intro quest for the entire College area, and you need to finish it to even see the College. It's kinda cool and I think it will serve a purpose of explaining couple things to the new players.

Additionally to the above, this update aims at fixing some of the problems with the game. Please read the changelog for more details, and help me fix those problems!

Now, I know we have an elephant in the room. I promised Corgis quest sooooooooo many times and it's still not here... Well, what can I say - it has to wait a bit longer. Corgis quest evolved into something really, really huge. I need to put way more time into it, or split it into 2 quests or something... I'm working on it. Unsure when, but it's coming.

Apart from that... next updates will bring couple more quests for different characters. Stay tuned.

Changelog:

1. New quest: College here I come
This is an intro quest to the College area. It should start automatically on 3rd day of game, when player is supposed to go to the College for the first time. But if you're loading your save game - this quest will just start up when you go to your room.
This is not a huge quest, more like a medium one, but I started writing it when I introduced College, like 8 months ago, so I'm really happy to finally get it finished and released.

2. The thing that might fix or break shitload of things
Ok, so this is actually a huge change that probably (hopefully) most of you won't even notice. A lot of players were saying that sometimes things in the game don't work as they should. For example:
  • Some players didn't get "Tits of Fortune" quest after finishing the intro.
  • Some players didn't get Mia to show up, after Ash disappeared.
  • Some players couldn't get Ash to disappear.
  • Some players didn't saw the car during "Different kind of meatbags" quest.
  • Some players didn't get the key to the cellar during "Different kind of meatbags" quest.
I was trying to fix those problems 1000 times, but I was still getting those bug reports. And the worst part is - I just couldn't replicate those problems on my playthroughs.
So I decided to dig a bit deeper. In my game there's a script called "delayer", that basically delays some operation until player is in a particular spot in game. I noticed that a lot of those things that players reported as problematic were actually handled using delayer. So - maybe it's causing the problem?
I rebuilt it in a way, that MAYBE will fix those problems once and for all (and probably create new ones...). I need your help though to make sure it works. Please, please, please - report to me any of the problems listed above, possibly with save games and some additional info, like was there any errors, or you noticed something etc.. Thanks!!!

3. Hints even prettier
Basically I made shitload of changes in the hints script to make it prettier - avatars for quest hints and location pics for world and money hints, different color for the inactive hints, number of hints on the header of each hint groups, and so on. This is how it looks now:
0322_hints.jpg

4. Changes in the popup display script
This is another big change that took me days to do, but barely anyone will notice. There was a lot of problems with the way popups resizing worked in the game. For example - if player opened a popup that fit on the screen - it was loaded without a scrollbar. If he opened up a popup that didn't fit on the screen - it was loaded with a scrollbar. But then there was a third option - player opened a popup that was initially small, but then did something that made this popup bigger - unfortunately the scrollbar wasn't appearing.
This should be fixed now, as I've wrote a script that check the size of the popup, and then activates/deactivates scrollbar each time. You can test it on the Hints screen. Let me know if you encounter any problems.

Minor changes
5. Even less banners
So for people who are not supporters I've made the in-game banner to appear even less frequently. That's because I love ya.
6. Changes on the save screen
A lot of people weren't sure why they sometimes cannot save. The reason was that, with the way the game is built, players would be able to save/reload events for infinite gains. To make it clearer - I've added an explanation about this directly on the save screen, that appears when player opens up a save screen during events.
7. Changes in the weekly stats script
The script that generates weekly stats was changed, so that it won't collide with quests and other random events.
8. Changes in the save names
The names of saves on the list were too long, and a lot of mobile players were reporting problems with displaying the list. So now the save names are shorter.

Bug fixes
9. Fixes in the money hints
Buying money hints, was giving player world hints - it's fixed now.
10. Replaced a broken video in Key Quest
There was some problems with one of the video, it's now replaced with a proper one.
11. Other small fixes and changes
I can't even remember, there was so many...

Holy cow I kept getting a ton of updates from here and I'm happy to see immersion breaking ads are out, so now I'm looking to see how discrete subscribe star subscriptions are.

Thanks man for that, it's super helpful as always. I think I'll fix everything tonight and release the hotfix.
