VN Ren'Py Corporate Culture [v0.7] [sqwl]

[Tremonia]

It's true that it was fast, even if I won't complain. I'm not sure that it's so bad for the dev. Indeed, the game is really underrated (in my opinion) and it must be spread as much as possible in order to be known. It will benefit to the dev in the end. People downloading here today or next week won't pay now in any case...enjoying the game can lead them to join the patrons later.

It's bad for the dev. He makes just under $380 a month, a lot of which goes to Patreon. Assets for DAZ are anything but cheap, especially since there are also license fees. I don't even want to talk about the music. Licenses for music tracks usually cost more than the dev earns per month. F95 is not advertising either. This myth doesn't get any truer the more you repeat it. Many devs have found that as soon as their AVN is leaked here, no new patrons are added for quite a while. It used to be different, yes. But those days are long gone. Ultimately, this form of piracy only harms the genre. If devs can no longer finance the creation of their AVN, they will stop working on it and we as players will only have AVN with abandon tags.

(Sorry for my poor english)

All good. It's fine.

I'm writing it down in my notebook:

2030, seeing

- Alice's undies in Corporate Culture
- Judith's route in Summertime Saga
- Lynette's family name revealed in BaDIK
- Nika finally having an erection in Summer's Gone
- Dual Family thread permanently locked by F95 mods and its author revealed to be a bot.

Hmmm... You're a great optimist?

Yes, seen under this light it sounds different. I'm maybe a bit too optimistic (or I try to cure my culpability )

While playing this update I couldn't help but think of some movie I've seen in the distant past. There's a radio operator trying to listen in to some far away broadcast. Someone's desperately trying to communicate...something. But the signal is full of static and only an occasional word is heard, leaving the listener frustrated.

Have a android port guys??

There have been 1.7 million views on this game thread. Please explain how that is not advertising for the dev, and what other methods to promote small scale adult VN's there are that are more effective?

He said that although F95 has a lot of users and promotes the game, the conversion rate nowadays is very low.

I can speak for myself, I stopped supporting many games because the development time is currently very long. I believe it's because many devs have stopped working from home. Currently, I only support games by buying them in early access on Steam. I use F95 just to check the reviews and user comments.

How long between updates again? I'd wager the dev having only 95 patrons has more to do with the slow update cycle than anything else. I like the game but it's one I don't pay that much attention to because it doesn't update enough to pay attention to it.

Right, but that isnt what the other person is saying. I'm in the same boat as you, there are just too many devs and games that either never finish or change halfway through development for me to support them anymore. I'll gladly buy a finished game, but the number of devs I sub to is incredibly small now compared to what it was a few years ago.

They are saying hosting games here actively hurts the smaller devs, which is insane to me. What other methods of advertisement do they have? How else would people find the game of some random dev with 20 subs. They are not losing out on subs because these people would never have known the game existed anyways.

 

[rogosh]

I just dont know who this game is for... so boring.

 

[Fat Brit 56]

Really good visuals, but omg it's sex less and as boring as it gets.

This is true, but only for new games. Completely new. Look when this thread was launched, four years have passed. What kind of advertising can there be now for game that old? And most of the developers who started promoting their games on f95 are now distancing themselves from the Zone in every possible way, have deleted their accounts here and forbid mentioning it in their official discord channels. And there are plenty of places to present a new game, Reddit for example. But I guess that wasn't the point of Tremonia's post.

Most stories are just placeholders for porn, this is creeping depression in art form.
I tried to sell this game to some people, because is good. But "nightmare" fuel is not a motif that people want to read, life is already shit.

I just dont know who this game is for... so boring.

Thanks for being a normie, explaining the point.

A surprising number of purist fetishists around here enjoy dire, dumb, incomprehensionable, dumpsterfire, ridiculous stories where their protagonist is purposefully stomped on constantly - they call it art+drama+good story - they enjoy their 5 o'clock murder and rape and gore news too much in their games.

1.7 million views and just around 90 Patreons. There're ways to promote AVN. You underestimate the bubble outside.

Ah, that's why devs like DarkCookie, DrStinkCheese, SFS, etc. have only a hand full Patreons. Didn't thought of that. Thank you for helping me see things more clearly.

This is the only game on this site that's like this (that I have seen). Maybe, just maybe, there is a group of people who like this game, who dont think its "incomprehensionable" or ridiculous. why are you even in the thread just to insult it
