You should add that the models are really ugly and the MC is an asshole without any justification. Let's talk about the models. Do you really find them attractive yourself??? Most of the cast is so ugly! And hairy girl? Omg, that's so repulsive! You're targeting such a narrow audience. And as other says, MC is an asshole while players like to identify as MC. How likes to identify as a pure asshole? If there were more choices, could be interesting but from the little I've been playing, this guy is a fucking cry baby jerk and playing as him just isn't appealing at all.
So in the end, I think there are more people who won't like your game than people who will like your game which is why it's not popular. Plus I've tested the game for the mind control tag but didn't reach any scene with it. I feel cheated :'(
Oh man... you're starting a conversation you don't want to continue. But with all due respect, I'll try...
First. This game is obviously not for you, nor is it for many others accustomed to the vanilla-patreon-friendly games that have become mainstream by now. The target audience is the other players like me, who don’t like the majority of vanilla games. I started making games because I wanted everything I made to be completely different from what was flooding us as games.
First of all it's not a Mainstream game. I wrote it as a disclaimer on the very first page. It's not a vanilla game. It's a hard fetish porn game that aims to show you the other side of the fictional reality of the adult game industry. Because I don't care how well I can monetize it, I do whatever I want without regard to patreon, PayPal, etc.
I want to be popular for the other people (I believe a lot of ppl) who want such kind of games. I don’t need vanilla players. I Know my game is not completion for the big money games… but I repeat - I don’t want it. But when vanilla players rate non-vanilla game… I have a problem.
And the problem is that some players with fetishes like mine miss the game because some offended dude wrote “I don’t want haaaaairyyyyy giiirls! Take that one star!!!”. I repeat it again.
I know my game is not masterpiece. It’s more than clear. I know that I can improve the renders. I know that I’m not Shakespeare… but to rate a game because the “characters are ugly” is the dumbest thing from all other dumbest things. Because “I don’t like/I like big tits/red hair/broken noses” is NOT feedback and review. It’s a matter of taste. Subjective.
And I hope ppl who likes harder content will discover my game somehow.
The point of the game is not to associate yourself with the character. Not all movies, books and games are created with that goal in mind. Because of this I have used various techniques to NOT associate with him(third person etc)
The goal is to experience the story through the eyes of a psychopath who has the power to do whatever he wants. No, you don't control him. You're watching his story, as you have the right to "direct" him in some aspects. That's all.
Aren't you tired of the same/molded and one model beautiful characters from the quadrillion other games/clones of each other? No? So this game isn't for you. The characters are made to be as different as possible. Even ugly. As provocative as possible. Even in real life, they're not all beautiful and wonderful, but you still want to fuck them, right? And yes. They're beautiful to me. And yes, I want people to be outraged about these things. That's the point of the game.
Best wishes
