Unreal Engine DomJOI Witch [v1.30] [DomJOIDev]

[CrackSmoker2]

Appreciate the input. It’s always refreshing to hear from the first ever person to discover that I liked the VS and decided to make my own version.

This project is, by some objective metrics, upgrade over a five-year-old abandoned-still-milking-dry ship. I realize some people enjoy waiting long enough for a game to start that they can grind favorite coffee beans and master a pour-over technique - my favorite is Kyoto style iced pour over double bloom. But you know I opted for actual optimization instead.

I also made a mistake assuming that someone can like you know, the same stuff but different. Like Warcraft and Starcraft, or Call of Duty and Battlefield. Can you imagine amount of ripping off in the game industry? These nasty fuckers stilling ideas xD! Ohh or maybe VS is next Nintendo - you know first one to put domina in game, or doing red-green light stuff, no femdom fan ever have heard about it.

Ahh also I made a few assumptions about the game:

- Character customization that actually works and you can see it - my bad
- Regurally looking into the code and optymizing it
- Adding custom sub/dom names - you know it's quite easy
- Doing as much as possible publicly, reporting to people, giving access to trello board, writing long changelogs, showing people insides of game when they ask and sooo more
- Giving credits to community and really trying to implement their feedback.

The game is not as great as VS at the moment. Shit I have now problem with new assets that I spend all money that I got from supporters:

But give less about 1/4 of VS support (so I can work full-time) and I will beat it in half-year, okay maybe year. I already did on so many levels, but TBH i need a little bit more assets, animations, voice acting, and a little bit better AI, also shitload of time that won't colide with my work and family.

The very last thing that I got wrong is - Virtual Succubs is a protected religion. Clearly, the market is closeed. Nonone is allowed to touch the first-person femdom genre unless they have a special permit. My mistake for trying to innovate without a permit.

Next time, try to include the standard doxxing and death threats - really I nearly dropped the ball. If you’re going to gatekeep a niche genre, do this with more passion.

No one's gatekeeping anything or doxxing anyone. I'm not denying that you put a lot of work into the game, or that you definitely have some creative ideas to improve it, but come on man, It's not just the idea of a first person femdom game - the menus, the layout, the dialogue, the gameplay loop, everything about it feels incredibly similar. You can't be surprised when people notice the resemblance.

I mean the resemblance is kinda intentional isnt it? the dev has basically done everything short of saying their game is intended to replace VS outright, since VS is stuck in development limbo for the foreseeable future. i get the impression its a copycat on purpose, hence all of the sarcasm from them lmao

If you'd write your own better version of Excel you need to have a damn good reason why you'd change the layout of Microsoft's Excel. Even if VS should have improved some (all) menues a long time ago, people know how to navigate them. Of course you would copy that layout in the first iteration. If VS remains dead I'm sure DomJOIDev will make improvements to the UI when enough people use the software.

CrackSmoker2, doxxing and death threats comment was unnecessary from my side. It's just that I met a most hardcore VS fans, and it was most unpleasant experience in my internet life... I won't elaborate - it's in the past. That's why I was so hostile. I'm really sorry for that - but this is only thing that I regret in that post.


**The game is super similar-yeah, think of it as a worse copy. I'm okay with that. I will try to make this copy the better one.**

I respect a lot of the stuff that VS achieved. Hell, I spent a shitload of money on VS; I waited for the 10th of each month for the release during Covid and lockdowns, being a supporter, buying new versions, providing feedback, cheering, etc. I remember when Succu-chan was walking around you-that was one of my favorite scenes and tasks, like "hit your butt every time you hear her heel click" - it's no longer here - I have to add that to my game btw . I get that some stuff was removed because of Patreon rules - like hypnosis...

I remember when I had endings that weren't all similar. I preferred the more "fap-roulette" style endings-you know, full tasks instead of: edge-wait-edge-get-bored-edge-ohh-cum-but-it's-the-same-ending...

You know the things I liked:

- "You might cum, but only with a buttplug in your butt."
- "Get on all fours and cum like a good doggy."

It felt like a real session ending. And because these types of endings are easy to make, you can have a hundred of them. The current version of VS teases you with stuff like "get your vibrator ready" during the ending-and what? It's fucking useless, never used. Remember when "Spin the Wheel" wasn't making it worse all the time? Back when it was balanced?

I could go on forever about the UI. If I wanted a degree in folder management, I would’ve gone into accounting. Instead, we have a game where the customization is buried under so many layers it feels like you're filing taxes - sorry I'm living in country when fillig taxes is quite easy TBH - it's worst than filling taxes. But wait, it’s "good" because of the "depth," right? I always wanted my Domina to remember that "scratch my left ball" in CBT should be used as a 2nd layer, and only if my arousal is at level 4, with no additional interactions, provided the moon is in alignment...

The most frustrating part? When I brought this up to the dev, I didn't get a conversation; I got attacked in the comments-glorious ego-trips. Now, they’ve "solved" the feedback problem by nuking the comment sections for Patreon and SubscribeStar subscribers entirely.

You pay your $10 for the privilege of being silenced.

And don’t even try the Discord unless you want to be eaten alive and gaslighted by the zealots of the "Protected Religion."

Going back to my game: tell me what you want, and I will try to implement it if it is okay with my current vision. I'm really into people's feedback and making this game better-one step at a time. But I won't use more Energy on the "too smiliar to VS" - it's okay I get that. I do not want to discuss VS - I loved that game, shit I'm still playing the v23 from time to time - but this one was released years ago.

Best,
DomJOIDev
