Yeah, we're okay. We expected it to be a long and rocky road, so we were prepared, even though the initial interest in the game was below our expectations. However, people who played it liked it more than we thought, so it's not like we have nothing going for us.

And our game doesn't 'call home, ' just in case someone wonders. We're very pro-privacy ourselves, so we don't plan to include tracking, telemetry, or anything like that in our games.

I'm not accusing you of anything, just trying to give you a heads up. When Devs use the words "we don't plan to include" it can trigger people, because it means that it still may happen if you change your mind and people scared of whatever it is, will just avoid your game. They've been burnt too many times. If it's not going to happen, better phrasing is something like "we won't include", gives people a better sense of where everything stands.

Same i got only 4 scenes too. Maybe there is only 4 scenes for this demo.

ohhh then the locked scenes might be placeholders. Makes sense

There are more than four scenes, but some of them might be from pairings you filtered out. However, there are more slots than scenes in the demo because I forgot to filter out scenes that are not available in the demo. I'll fix that in the next update.

Also, more scenes will be added next week.

Yeah, I get you. We won't include any tracking.

Can you add something like unlocking all the scenes after completing the game?

just in case you guys are talking about the teaser pics:
first 4 of them are ingame in this version, while the dev confirmed that the remaining 3 are not.

 

[Reefraf]

I'll update the screens later this week to include only screens from the scenes currently available in the demo.

So the scenes with the 2 vamps that are in the screenshots here are not in the demo? I'm just getting booted out after waking up with a hangover.

If so it's a shame because I really wanted to know how the dynamic with vampires was gonna be. Couldn't care less for the Virgil dude so if it ends up being that falling to a vamp would mean falling into the clutches of that dude indirectly it's not my thing. So is that the case or can other vamps have their own plans and make use of you to achieve their own ends?

Also an explanation of the stats somewhere would be appreciated, unless I'm just dumb and missed it. I have no idea what confidence means without anything to go by. Is it an indication of dom/submissive mc or something else? Will it affect/limit choices later? Will it define scene variations? Etc. Same for insight and whatever else. If they do have effects and you can't get everything as you plan your schedule it's important to be able to understand what you're getting or missing out on.

 

[Fer978]

Looks promising but haven't finished the demo yet
2 features I kinda wish were available would be a way to check the last few lines of conversation (not necessarily rollback-Just check what was said in case you clicked too fast) and a way to either name save or use the phone to add notes (to remember what you were doing in this save file).

same here. i really hope sarah (or any other female vamp really) takes over sooner rather than later.

There are several 'evil' female vampires you can fall to, and you'll get the taste of it next month . Virgil is the main antagonist, but you won't meet him personally until very late in the game. If you're interested in corruption ending, then yes, there will be options that aren't related to him.

We'll add a tutorial about the stats in the next update. Confidence is how assertive Alex is. It indeed affects choices and scene variation - if you have low confidence, you may fail to resist a vampire trying to charm you. Insight/Combat/Athletics are tested when you take some actions. On top of that, Insight reveals what other characters might think and gives you additional information when you make decisions.

You can open the text log by scrolling the mouse up. In the next update, we'll add a tutorial about controls and a dedicated button to open the log. There will also be a "to do" section on the day planner screen showing what you're doing now.

Alright thanks for the fast reply and info, as long as we aren't forced into stuff we may dislike it's fine but you already seem to be considering that by adding filters. Loving the game so far, the art is very nice, writing is entertaining and while I often ignore games that try to please too many people (adding straight and gay or both maledom and femdom for example) because most of the time they end up pleasing no one or lacking content for any particular interest, this one seems to be putting a decent amount of depth and effort into each while respecting people's preferences.

2 things though:

1) My particular interests lie in femdom and I usually filter on f95 for that tag but for some reason your game doesn't pop up if you do despite having actual femdom content. I luckily happened into your game by chance without filters because it was recently updated but it would probably help you to make sure all the proper tags are applied and working properly.

2) I'm interested in buying it when it's out on Steam but could you confirm that the Steam version won't be censored and whether it'll be the equivalent of supporting on Patreon or not in terms of updates.

 

[Reefraf]

Can you add something like unlocking all the scenes after completing the game?

It's not that simple because the scenes change a lot depending on choices and stats. When you unlock a scene, the game saves your choices and stats so you can play the scene later. Therefore, if we want to have the option to unlock all scenes, we have to prepare a default state for each scene. It's not something I have time for now.

1) Thanks. I added the femdom tag.

2) First of all, the Steam release will be moved to Jan/Feb. We'll change the date later this week. The game will be initially censored on Steam because Steam doesn't allow early access porn games anymore. There will be an external patch, and it will include everything. Once the game's final version is released, we plan to add an official DLC that unlocks NSFW content for free.

Regarding the frequency of updates, there will be some delay between Patreon and Steam. We release new builds quite frequently, and they might contain bugs or require people to load earlier saves and lose progress. We can't release builds in such a state on Steam without risking negative reviews, so Steam will be receiving less frequent but more polished updates.

You can look at missed text with the mouse wheel.

 

[justahorse]

Is there a term/genre to describe the scene where the vampire in the beginning essentially doms(?) the couple? It looks like they became a couple after that, but same difference.

I don't think there is one. The best bet would be looking for games with vampire and BI tags, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

If you're interested, there is another scene like that in the Patreon build, but with a female vampire.

Friendly reminder that these are mags, not clips

I see that the urge to correct was strong enough that you didn't play the scene until the end.

The protagonist doesn't know much about guns, so he calls them clips until someone corrects him, and then he starts calling them magazines.
