I dont think that would be much of a problem. Like i dont like spiders at all, but spider-girls are fine. The problem is a spider-girl would require a ton of work and rendering to make it work, it's why you almost never see them in games with monter girls, a snake girl would be probably a lot simpler.
The only problem I personally see with this is the multiple legs that need to be posed every time you change the character's pose. I wouldn't say it would take a huge amount of time, it might even be faster than making tentacles :unsure:

Well you certainly have a better understanding of it than me, so i will refer to your judgement on it, definitely wouldn't say no to more monster girls.

How many LIs are planned for the game ? Since you're a solo developer, i would suggest to keep the number to be relatively small. Otherwise, you would have to create scene for each LIs without much progress to the story. Players tend to lose interest if the release window is too long. Great game and it's unique. Hope it gets more exposure

Of course, I simply don’t have enough resources to pay attention to a large number of girls. I think that there will be no more than six of LIs, one of which will be Elina and other human girl. The rest would be a hybrids, at least that's what I'm planning for now.

Thanks for your kind words :giggle:

Was shocked to see the beginning without high-schooler MC coming back home after a long time, some curvy Landladies waiting for him and without a smell of ntr in the air during first 5 minutes of playing :sneaky:
I just hate these types of protagonists. But let's be honest - sometimes even adult characters are written in such a way that you feel ashamed as never before in your life.
It's a cool story and art! While played I even forget that I saw it on the specific adult games forum... And that's cool! :love:
Wish a good luck to the dev and good profit from the project! You can place it on Steam for all the platforms, because I think that the game will be as a cannon there due to their community's gaming tastes!
Thanks a lot, but for now there are not a lot of meat (I guess) to promote it as the game for Steam. Now I'm working hard with the code to introduce new features into the game and diversify the gameplay a little - this will be an improved point-and-click system that won't waste the player's time or make them paranoid that they missed something. I think people like it, so the reviews and feedback will show.
Also, for all those characters who you're mentioned that have plans to add, I could recommend you to add a harem tag, to avoid tousands of questions about it in the future! :ROFLMAO:
Unfortunately (or fortunately), according to the site rules, you cannot specify tags that do not currently exist in the game. So...

Well I hope you continue to work diligently on the game, because I have similar kinks :devilish: and these types of games are unfortunately rare. By the way how is work going on for chapter 3?
For sure, I have no plans to quit the project.
It is moving forward, but the next public version will mostly contain grammatical and technical corrections along with a new feature and a bit of history. Nothing drastic that could break the save files tho!

A snake girl, you dont see much of those around.

I know, right. You can make many interesting romantic and combat scenes with them. It’s a pity that they exist mainly only in all sorts of mangas and some niche anime.

Also if i may chime in on the whole development thing. My advice to new devs was always dont start off the game doing it for money as in dont rely that you will release the game and immediately earn enough money to replace and exceed your normal income. The first1-2 years you should do it as a hobby, as a passion project and if you are lucky enough, if the game reaches enough people that will eventually be rewarded. A lot of devs give up before they reach this point or do something even worse, which is drag the game out, nobody is gonna get excited about the game if it takes like 11 months between each release, while the dev is sitting on like 50 supporters and wondering why he isn't growing after 3 years of doing this, when in reality the game has barely moved.
Which takes me to my second piece of advice, shorter updates, released more often. Vast majority of people aren't supporting a game like this not because they wouldnt like it even with all the fetishes(which aren't even that wild, like this isn't NTR that just immediately turns off a large number of people off), but they aren't supporting it because they dont yet know about it. So again, shorter updates more often is the key IMO.
And my final piece of advice.. advertise, advertise, advertise... I know i sound like a broken record but the key to all of this is enough of the right people seeing the game. Putting the game on Steam or itch.io once you have enough gameplay to justify it, paying other devs to advertise but not just anyone. Paying DrPincake to advertise your game may sound good cause Being a DIK is a massive game but most of it would be wasted on normies that just wannt regular game where frat dudes fuck cheerleaders, but paying devs that have something similar, usually games with monster girls, sci fi and fantasy stuff, that could be a game changer.
I remember the dev from Gunpowder Cocktail literally stagnated at like 500 dollars a month for a year or so and then after one nicely timed release he literally went to like 1500 dollars, it's good to try and avoid releasing the game during a lot of other releases happening, especially if it's a big game, also releasing on the weekened is a lot better than other days, anyway i rambled long enough. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the great tips and real examples - it will definitely be useful.
It turns out that everything here works on the same principle as in the rest of the media industry, such as video games or films. That is why advertising costs are no less than the costs of developing the game\film itself, and sometimes can even exceed it.
And releasing products with high-profile new products is also not recommended, because they may simply not be noticed against the backdrop of the “big guys”

Yea i am with you. They are a niche thing... or are they? Cause i know you have them in quite a few Japanese porn games with monster girls and they always seem to be the most popular monster in them. Personally i love them, the whole idea of a snake girl wrapping herself around you is quite something to imagine.

No worries i have been in a financial pickle for a while but i will chime in to support hopefully in the next few months, until then the best i can do is offer some advice that I've seen work well with my friend and his game(which funny enough will also feature snake girls at some point lol and already has a spider girl).
Also to elaborate more on the importance of releasing on weekends, you can always check Steam charts on any game, as an example i was following the player count on Baldurs Gate 3 when it released for the first 2-3 weeks, the weekdays it had around 400-500k players while on weekends that number was between 800-900k, so quite the difference and this trend seems to follow every other game, dropping a release on Saturday/Sunday while avoiding any other big release is the way to go since thats when most of the people are on here checking out for new games and this site even though a pirate site is ironically what drives 95%+ of all the supporters people get on patreon. The only other that can have a large reach is obviously Steam, which is becoming more and more popular for releasing erotic/porn games.

If you do add spider girls then add a skip function though it would be smarter to not add them at all,they arent enjoyable no matter how well rendered plus some people (like me) find them disgusting,how some people want them in porn games defies logic...

Those are an minority,why should the majority suffer because they throw a tantrum? They are being childish at best and delusional at worst. Being the internet isnt an excuse unless you also champion the idea that democracy is evil.
Plus some people might actually have arachnophobia and ACTUALLY suffer mentally if there is no skip button,overall though spider girls arent worth it,not appealing,many have a problem with them.
