I dunno, the graphics aren't the most important thing, not even in a porn game, but with these? How are you supposed to get a boner, when you have Amiga graphics in 2018?

I haven't played one of These in Ages due to that.
Oh yeah and the blindly fumbling about until you find which movement works also sucks.

For me, the story is more important than the image quality, so, it's easier for me to get a Boner with just the story, the mental images that I can get that are the important things :p

About gameplay, these blind things that make the game "challenging", I like to waste some time figuring out how the right moves works, for these reasons mainly that I find these games exciting. :extremelyhappy:

When I was a teen I was getting exited by this :

But I have to agree with ArchWolf, the story is important so even games with ugly graph cold be fine for me.

I played all of his games 2 years ago but I also think it is time for him to change something. Also, about the hidden spots, sometimes on bigger resolutions you can spot them easy, there are small lines around the hotspots.

Even easier, download a mouse autoclick program and move the mouse around the screen till something happens. Works great and helps to avoid any rage.

You really think that I want to work more to make better games that don't bring money anymore because of hacking?

... sadly they want even more than that Shark. :(

They want you to spend your money to replace your existing assets with higher definition ones (and any other software required) so that they can freely download the end results of your spending & effort.

I can only assume that they are assuming that you will join the crowd of Developers using crowd funding (like Patreon) to help offset the costs (in both money & effort) of creating games. Of course some will then start complaining the you're 'milking them' (even when they aren't subscribers) if you don't start releasing a beta version of your next project every month. So to counter that you may want to charge per release instead of per month but the end result of doing that is that you'd be in the same position as you are now, which is a site when people can pay a set amount for one month's access to your latest release(s). It's a vicious circle! :mad:

Honestly, I never paid for any of your games, just waited to be free. I really enjoyed them and had more fun that some of the new games with fancy graphic, but shitty story. But if it is all about the money you can always join patreon. I see a lot of people make some decent money here. Actually, I don't play 95% of the games on this site. They are just graphics without story. Sorry but incest can't make a story for me.
I played Heroes3 for like 10y and still play it sometimes, but never bought the game and after so many years I decided to do it, just because I had so much fun with that game and even with his crap graphic it is still one of the best turn based strategies.

@shark from the lagoon Well, sir, running patreon and paypal as additional form of payment is good idea. You current one has two problems:
- is fixed on certain amount (10€). Some people, from maybe poorer countries, wold help you with 1$ or 5$. How?
- ANOTHER platform (partially in French) to give my credit card number? No thank you. Paypal is fast. Steam's CEO or someone from this company said, that selling games is not about price, but rather about easy acces. I buy instantly, and in few minutes (max hours) I have game ready to play.

Developer vs pirates drama appears from time to time here on F95 (pirate forum). Not that bad pirate like m*g*l**.com (I saw Your complains there too) where these assholes earn money on pirating (your) games. I agree with @greyelf also.
Only good thing about piracy is that it creates potential buyer base / advertises. Also, I saw various actions from developers about piracy here. From hard complains and leaving, to being part of community. Sales-wise last solution is best IMO (publish your content anyway, being sure that players know where to pay etc., but see that it is pirated :(). I mean it is hard emotionally.

EDIT: Looke there - game author took control over thread, pastes free links with paid patreon links everytime. Caring for news and answering community. Version currently available on F95 is the free one.

Shark, I was a fan of your games a long time ago, I've played all your free games and I enjoyed them a lot.
The thing is, at the time there were only very few games out there. It was you, Pusooy, a few HTML games from people like Tlaero and a few RAGS games, mostly MC based. Then came LOP. After that Patreon came and a massive lot of new games has been coming out on a regular basis. Most new games have infinitely better graphics, better story and much better sex scenes. You and Pusooy have not evolved at all, LOP is trying, but mostly failing. This might sound harsh, but it's a tough world out there - you either adapt, or you go the way of the dinosaurs. No amount of whining on random internet forums is going to change that.
I'm willing to bet your income has been steadily dwindling down in the past few years. That would've happened with or without piracy. People are just not into your games like they were before. That's on you, not on them.

i dont get you here...
soo you make those game for a living ?

if that the situation, then , i m sorry but you need to adapt.
just look at the game industries. how many game in 8bits have reach a decent popularity and grow ? very very very few.
and most of them tend to adapt with better graphism and stuff.

of course you game is not 8 bits. but just saying, in a world, in a mentality growing based on the ultra high definition, constant SSAO and other ultra-over-powerful graphism based law... its obvious that games like your fall.

you gonna say " is not all about graphism".. i agree, i myself not too much into graphism and prefer a good story.
nontheless, i represent an extremly low amount of % of peoples.

everyfucking day sinze HL2 and DX11, we see game coming out with more and more incredible graphism , even sometime with shitty story ( call of duty as exempl) and thats what peoples want.

in my honest opinion, if you just turn graphism into DAZ or whatever else with good quality and recent popularity. you game can rock on and kick the ass of almost all the games around.
no joke.

oh and btw..

consider also the amount of devs, that have reach their dream ( or not) to make a game for a living. getting more than 2K per months on patreon and else...
how many of them have started here... in a pirate website.. and grow like they are now. ?
alots.
as pirate as we are, we also maybe one of the best community about helping devs to get great games.

I totally agree, people tend to see only the downside of piracy, nobody sees the positive side that is the publicity that this generates, for the games and for the DEV, like u said, some great games and Dev's started grow up in sites like here...
