Ren'Py Escape from Ivy and Piper [v0.402] [AceX Game Studio]

[Volta]

Also... I don't like all the incest porn out there... so it will never be in my games... if that makes me lose 90% of the market... so be it. I refuse to make content that doesn't turn me on...

To be honest the incest market is pretty saturated and has been for a few years, even with a few of the old "big hitter" devs not being as productive or outright going dark.

To be honest you make good and interesting content that is on the very mild end of femdom, not much of that around right now, normally it's full femdom or neutral, pretty rare to see something mild and done well, so your niche is there, it's just regularly overlooked since it's fairly vanilla but switchy/mild is a thing for sure.

Yea TBH I don't really care for the femdom, even the mild aspect in this, but goddamn are the renders amazing and the story does keep you interested even if you don't like the mild femdom. The way I get over the femdom aspect is to just treat it as doing your best to get out of the situation you're in. (Like no one wants to be stuck in a prison IRL but at the start of an epic RPG you might find yourself in one and escaping the prison before your journey can be very sweet.)

When will you post v0.20 here for free?

 

[capii]

Ace_X Do you plan on selling the game on steam? Due to the price of usd patreon is a bit too expensive, but on steam they are more affordable

Dev said in 02/12 if it isn't leaked before that date

The games are always way cheaper on patreon... $2 tier will get you all the games. But yes, all games will end up on Steam.

Strip n Play with Valerie is on there now:

Also, I understand money issues, so I totally support pirate sites. If you want to support me non-financially, positive ratings, like, comments, wishlists, share, follows on all my social media platforms all help a TON! And they are free to do!

You are a great guy and dev. Thank you for being like that even though it makes things less profitable for you. I hope youll be repaid for your kindness by some universal karma mechanic

Do you plan on putting the games back on gamejolt?

Gamejolt banned adult games… and I had about $150 on there to be paid on there and they kept it… so no… never again.

Wow, RIP.

Super glad you're on Steam though (and that Steam has opened up their platform to us horny pervs!) Keep being awesome mate

Personally I love the slightly femdommy overtones in your writing! But I also love that it's fairly "normal" and widely appealing as well - lots of "femdom games" are very in-your-face about it

Looking forward to when the Escape update releases for us paupers on the lower tiers

I respect the devs who know that their stuff is good enough to share it for free (with some delay) and still can rely to get paid just because their stuff is good. Personally I rather pay for something I've played and enjoyed than for something I am forced to pay and possibly will regret doing later. I don't think these kinds of community sites are that bad for any dev as long they don't post 0 day stuff and totally ignore wishes of the dev. Not sure how many would even find these games, if there weren't sites like this. And yea... there are free ways to support too. Some have more money to spend and some devs release better stuff than others. Everyone will get what they deserve in the end*

*) not sure about our main character in escape from Ivy and Piper tho

 

[Impermiable]

Do you plan on releasing information on how many scenes are available in total since the Gallery still doesn't work.

Also would a more thorough walkthrough be in the picture directly from the developer?

Enjoyed the update, Val <3

What's the spacing between public and the lowest patreon tier? More specifically, how much time until a public release after the game reaches the lowest patreon tier.

 

[Shigeru_Aoba]

Dev said in 02/12 if it isn't leaked before that date

so that makes one week after lowest patreon tier

Great that you put this here, I didn't even know that Valerie was on Steam, bought it immediately. Why isn't there a link to it here on https://f95zone.to/threads/strip-n-play-with-valerie-v1-1s-acex-game-studio.49702/ ? I've seen it for other games, like https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-interlude-season-3-dr-pinkcake.25332/

I will try to add the steam link to my profile

That'd be great. I mean, I can only speak for myself, but while I don't particularly like to make monthly payments, I'm completely fine making one time purchases if it's a game I quite enjoy, like this one.

Still, I realise that it's not your post or anything so you can't edit the link to Steam inside it, but maybe a mod can (?). While adding the link to your profile (or your signature for that matter) may help some, I believe the link on that particular post would (hopefuly) help boost your sales more. People are lazy (myself included), so they'll probably not check your profile directly when they land on https://f95zone.to/threads/strip-n-play-with-valerie-v1-1s-acex-game-studio.49702/

But if they see the link to Steam/GOG/any other store at the start of that post, and they liked your game, some will at least check to see how much it is. Kinda the same thinking why you have those candies near the register at stores; it's an impulse purchase because you have it there, visible. And at least it works on me, with some games that I've really liked. I looked up the game here, tried them, and if I really liked them and saw that they had it available at Steam/Itch.io or something like that, I'd buy them directly. If not, well, sorry to say, but at least I don't bother to look for the develpver otherwise. Maybe that's just me though.

Welp, that's my two cents at least, as someone who studied a bit of management for a time lol. And it's just my idea, might be awfully wrong here too. But anyways, good luck and thanks for making the game!
