To me the main issue is, that you basically asked subscribers to invest money into convincing your future wife that she allows you to work on the game. Its not a "Pay me or no product" imo, because none of us knows your wife. Maybe you would need to make 10k a month for her to allow it, so the money could be "wasted" as it doesn't necessarily change the outcome. Also given how certain types of women are into public figures I wouldn't rule out, that basically no amount of money would change her opinion. But you know her better than we do, so based on your call for money, it feels like she's more focused on the money than if that kind of "job/hobby" is acceptable for her.

Also as a few people already said, everyone has seen some scams be running in this space, like "I'm sick and need money for medical bills, please stay subscribe" and then they dipped, so even if it feels bad for the one or two genuine cases, I can see that a lot people will be sceptical about your approach and giving you money.

You wanting to come clean to her before marriage is btw imo the correct approach.

So I basically just want to say, that from the outside it looks worse than you probably think it is, as you know your intentions. Makes it easy to get caught up in thinking you're doing it the right way and not understanding that others may get upset or sceptical about it.

Also just my two cents, but if you say, that the game gives you some freedom, as you have to act a certain way as a public figure, you should maybe figure out what person your girlfriend wants to marry, because if she doesn't know all of this and is basically in love with the public figure, chances are good, that you basically go with "acting" like someone you not really are for the sake of the marriage in your future. I get, that the public figure job probably pays well, so staying in that, is imo fine. I'd rather act 8 hours and getting paid decently, than being poor. But then I want to be myself in my free time, not act the same way for my spouse.

I just hope you make a decision that makes you happy. Whatever the decision in the end will be.
I'm going to start off saying that I don't know this dev & I've never played this game. I don't know if it's a made up desperate story to motivate people to donate out of pity. I don't think there's a way we can know for sure. So it's just a matter of choice whether you doubt him or believe him.

The impression I'm getting is that the game is a secret personal project that he has put a lot of effort into and really wants to make it a success. -- I don't have a problem with someone who is working hard, building skills & trying to build something that they are passionate about. Even if it's done in secret. I don't believe that being in a relationship means you can't work on a secret project to bring in money (as long as it's legal).

But he's realizing that it's eating up a lot of time, so he needs to justify the time expenditure to his partner. This makes sense, because being in a relationship is like being on a team. Is the time you're putting in & the money you make worth it for the team? He realizes this is not a decision he can make alone, so he's going to come clean about this to the girlfriend AND give her the final say about what he should do. -- I'd say that's very responsible, because I believe that you should have the freedom to pursue your own projects even if you don't know whether or not you will succeed & you don't know how much time it will take. Upon realizing the time the project is taking, he's giving the girlfriend the power to decide the project's fate because it's conflicting with available time he has to spend with the girlfriend. That's very considerate.

He is NOT saying that if he fails to get more funding, the project will be shut down. He doesn't know how the girlfriend will take the news. He's just trying to explain his situation to us and what's at stake for him. For all we know, she might allow him to continue even if he doesn't get a significant increase in funding. Obviously if there's more funding, he can better justify the time expenditure on the project.

Either way, I hope that his girlfriend can understand that he's worked very hard on this, but he's willing to put his relationship with her above his own interests

I am looking. I noticed you are at level 6, which is pretty impressive for Chapter 2. Did you use cheats? Cuz if you did there's no telling how that could have broken things.

Your game is fucked up for sure. You should only have this quest in your list at this time. The NPC responds that way because you have to have that quest below to proceed. And you cannot clear the "Fuck Ann" quest because it should have cleared the first time you did it, and there are no instructions for the game to clear it for subsequent sessions. So please let me know if you used cheats. If so, maybe try again without them.

If not, do you have any saves from before fucking Ann? Can you see if it this error repeats itself? So far I cannot replicate this.

. This is probably the final release.

You can help save the project. Support deadline is January 13.
Yea i'ma just go ahead and say it, asking for extra money as an insentive to tell your lady the truth about your hobbie is by far the dumbest thing i have ever heard in my life, straight facts if you can't be honest about what you do straight from the get go without some form of incentive to do so then she's not the right one for you bro....

Also the fact that you have kept it from your partner for so long in the first place is a straight red flag my guy....

Regardless of if your story is true or not sob stories are never the way to go, just work hard, make good product and if it's deserving of the money then the money will come... but hey your game, your life, best of luck and all that.

First let me be clear i have not cheated i dont even know how you would i spent many days stuck on how to proceed with the story including getting into the university in the first place so i feed alot on the 2 girls multiple times gettting me the level grinded up.

Second of all this screenshot is not mine my screenshot i am level 6 not 3 and says nothing about finding a lead on the half penny it says fuck ann under find information at the univesity.

and no i dont have any saves before i fuck ann, is it a possiblity the game is broken since i have spent to long in the game and it did the no score/achivements from now on message.

i had the quest find information on the half penny at one point but the girl in downtown to the west completed this for me.

I respect your comments , and solely for the benefit others reading this, I will reiterate that I'm only asking for a temporary boost between now and January 13. That's all I'm asking for. I don't have brain cancer. I'm kind of a dope, but I don't have brain cancer.

Also, confession to my partner has been a pledge goal since I opened the SS. Years ago. I don't know how many of my Subscribers would remember, but I'm certain a few would be able to vouch for this were someone to ask in the Discord. So if this is fake, I'm a very good planner (I'm actually a very bad planner).
I'll confirm that the dev has had it as a listed goal for ages.

People can decide for themselves whether it is a good approach or not, but it probably doesn't need everyone weighing in and discussing it at length here. I doubt he's hiding a time machine that would allow him to go back and do it differently based on each of our opinions. He's likely sweating it out enough in the interim without any commentary at all.

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT BLOODSHIFT

If you've followed [my] for a little while, then you may know I've had a high dollar goal listed, which is to confess to my partner what I've been doing since the pandemic to make up for lost wages. That amount started at $1000/mo and then dropped to $850/mo; still, that number remains elusive.

We're now coming upon four years since I started this project, and currently it now occupies half my time with my girlfriend, and every year that passes it takes up a larger proportion of our time together.

I don't care that much about marriage, but I know she does. And I'll do that to make her happy. But I can't marry her with this deception hanging over us. And I fear that the longer I allow this deception to go on, the worse it will be when it finally comes time to come clean.

And that time is "before the year is up".

The reason I based my confession goal on income was that the project would become known to her with a significant income attached to it, as opposed to me doing it for free or for some paltry compensation, at which she would surely balk and judge me a moron, and rightfully so. But if it's bringing in a decent amount of cash, then I think it would be harder to dismiss.

The amount coming in right now is certainly not paltry, but not significant either (compared to expenses where I live).

Look, I love this project. In my "normal life" I am somewhat a public figure. I don't get to say what I think and feel very often, especially regarding society and politics, for example. I have to be nice to people that I don't like, because people are counting on me to hold things together, and I can't do that if I make enemies. And that means I suppress myself. Bloodshift is a space meant to be hidden, only meant for certain eyes [the fans], and a space where I can express myself in ways I can't anywhere else. A space where I can take the addiction that has ruled my life-- mostly for ill-- and turn that vice into something productive.

But I love my partner more. And if she wants me to stop, I will stop. If she judges what I'm making not good enough, then it's over.

And yet I know sacrificing this project means losing some part of myself. Maybe I'll be better that way; I don't know. But if nothing else, I don't want to let down the people who have believed in me and supported me all this time.

So, what I'm asking for is this (and I am no good at asking for help, let alone money):
1. If you're not a Subscriber now, please [become one]. Even just temporarily. Let me show her a good number.
2. If you're a current Subscriber, perhaps think about upping your pledge, especially if you're in the lower tier (the jump isn't as much). Again, even temporarily, to give this project its best chance at survival.
3. Whether you're a Subscriber or not, the game could really use some positive reviews. I get plenty of fair criticism, but also a lot of unfair criticism, and lots of people hating on me in LoodKorner for mere fact that it uses real porn. They literally comment in my thread just to say they won't play it. [When I KNOW this is not a typical real porn game.]

And yes, if there is more money coming in, I will produce faster. I will treat the additional funds just like any other: put it towards the next release goal. So if you want Digimona and Lia sooner, I'll make it happen.

I know I'm basically begging for money here. But this project could be on the chopping block. Maybe it won't actually matter-- maybe she'll think it's great, paltry income be damned. In that case, great. [Or maybe she will dump me. If I don't kms then perhaps the project will go on. Otherwise, given the choice, we sadly part ways.]

Regardless I thank you for all the kind support. It has not been trivial; it has been life saving money when I still have little. And it has been my pleasure to create for you something that you enjoy. For that, I am grateful.

Sincerely

Amalgam
I'll weigh in anyway because I think this "fix" is a terrible idea and it's maybe not too late to reconsider the approach.

This is fucked up. You kept your "addiction that has ruled [your] life-- mostly for ill" (!) secret from the woman you're about to marry, and now in an attempt to come clean, you're trying to lie to her about the income this project provides (you keep saying you just want a temporary boost), hoping that money will buy her forgiveness and hide the fact that you didn't keep doing this for money, but for your "vice".

Not to mention that she will probably get curious about this project, and she will easily find what you wrote.

This is a trust issue (and more), money won't matter, and the fix isn't more lies. If you want to come clean (good idea), come clean for real; either she's OK with this, or she's not.

That said, I sincerely wish you the best and hope you fix your life.

Currently, it's up to $811, so about 8 people maximum needed to reach that goal. I'd consider chipping in myself, but as things stand for me right now I may have to reduce the ones I'm already supporting as I've been told I'm being laid off a week from Friday :cry:
