Oh indeed, just tested it, it's the cache of cloudflare that's causing our css to not get updated. I'm going to purge it for the css files. Thanks for letting me know.

I'd prefer a new game too, but you can't fault a dev for responding to what they're told by their audience.

I don't know your situation or your numbers, but there is an old story from my young gaming days that I always remember. Back in the late 1970s-early 1980s, wargames (board games of course) were a huge market. Many companies put out simple games (relatively, since even the simple games tended to be very complicated by today's standards).

There was a company called SPI that made huge, sprawling, complicated games and they wanted to know what people thought, so they innovated and started including customer feedback cards in all their games. Consistently, a vast majority of the people who bought the games and sent back the cards told them that they wanted games that were bigger, took longer to play, had more rules and more complicated rules, more pieces, all that. SPI responded with bigger, longer, more complicated games until eventually they went broke.

Why did they go broke when they were giving their customers exactly what they asked for? Because they relied on the most motivated section of their market to tell them what to do. Only hardcore wargame fans were buying their stuff, and only the most hardcore section of those fans mailed back the card. If someone bought a game and it was too big, too complicated, took too many weeks complete, they didn't mail the card back -- they just stopped buying SPI games. SPI unintentionally created an echo chamber effect and allowed themselves to be driven by the few people who were most fanatical, thus alienating literally everyone else.

I bring this up as a caution -- I enjoyed the game up through what I thought was the end, with the city conquered and the MC the mayor with a mansion for his harem. I never bothered to try anything after that because, to me, the story was done.

Again, I don't know what your financials and your membership and your downloads tell you. I am certainly not claiming I speak for a silent majority or any of that nonsense. I am certain I'm not a voice of one, but whether I'm a voice of 1% or 5% or more, I have no clue. And I'm not telling you to change what you're doing, only advising you to be aware of other possibilities.

tl;dr: Sometimes listening to their most diehard fans is the worst thing a creator can do.

33% yearly growth, 6% this month (audience). Money wise, it's very difficult to account for it, due to patreon ban. But we are on a light growth.

as of right now sadly that worning is just the reality porn games in general and its none of their faults for it. unless your a japonese porn maker you have no market besides f95 and f95 is a forum not a marketplace. they are only payed by their dedicated fans, nobody else.

yes some games have made it to steam and made more lagitimit money from a wider audiance but that is vary few and far inbetween. also none of them are real porn and took years to make only surviving off their hardcore fans as well.

western porn games is a new market barely touched by even the wider porn industry. yes it has become more excessible over the last few years but its not truly profitable yet. porn devs are on their own and sometimes the safe aproach is the best options even if it hurts their freedom to create more and different things.

I would like to say wow, this game is really good. I spent the whole of last night until 3 am completing the current content lol.

Hopefully you get to enslave more of the current unenslavable girls in the future :p Gotta catch them all

HTML is looking in wrong folders for some images, etc.

Eg: become someone/ressources/scene/influencer/weviu/gaming/1.webp is actually in become someone/ressources/scenes/influencer/weviu/gaming/1.mp4
File in the folder is also mp4 whereas it's referenced as webp

Tried both the update only as well as downloading entire game and same thing. There's a bunch of other folders in scenes as well. Not sure if all of those are correctly referenced.

Looks to be broken in online version too.

Got a question guys, is there anyway to update saves from an older version to the newest one? I just got done grinding all my stats in version 1.49 before really diving into the content and then BAM, large new update.

When I load the save I get a bunch of scary looking errors and when I continue clicking it says 'updating save file...' but it doesn't seem to do anything. It would really suck if players need to start over every time an update comes out especially given the frequent updates.

Hi, sorry to bother you directly but could you please help me with this issue or at least clarify if it's at least possible? It would majorly suck if I found out after grinding ANOTHER save before diving into the juicy parts that I could have actually converted my old save. And to be honest, it seems to be too big of an oversight to not have compatible saves for at least a couple of versions as the updates are frequent enough to warrant it.

How to make money? (from new playero_O)
Click to expand...
I start a new game then I will try to improve the description:
At the beginning of the game - do not open a business - leave money for the progress of the story - making a key, etc missions - then get hired at the shopping center “The cock and bull”.
You need more than $500, you will unlock in the shopping center “Electronics Store” go there to buy a camera - you become an influencer + return to the store to recruit an influencer -> You can take other one influencer (No Bria - I did) and I got the information to go back to the store and talk to the seller which gave me that I already have 2 influencers (other + Bria) under my care + which gives me an income of about $100-400 + what I earn by creating my content.. I don't remember but I think the camera is taken as a $10000 debt.
Start working at home you will start earning something - remember not to ignore the influencer every upgrade gives you better earnings.

//EDIT
I've been playing for 35 minutes in my account I have $4900

Here you go, so if everything was normal do I just ignore the error messages and wait at the 'Updating old save file...' screen for a bit before continuing even if the screen doesn't look like it's not doing anything? Thank you in advance.
