Hey everyone. I've been reading your comments about the latest update, and I can’t stay quiet. I’m disappointed in it myself. I poured so much time and energy into filling out all the different story branches, only to realize in the end that it hurt the overall quality of the game. Before the release, I was in a spot where I just couldn’t keep up with creating content for every path, so there was this rush, which led to mistakes, haste, missing animations, cut scenes, and so on. That’s on me — I overcomplicated the script trying to meet everyone’s preferences, and it only gave me a headache and dropped the quality. Well, lesson learned. It stings a bit because I invested so much effort and emotion into this update, and all I ended up with was an average rating—"very low effort game." I’m starting to think maybe I should try my hand at a completely different genre

You can't please everyone, trying to make branches that cater to each person's kinks would just make things far too complicated, there should only be 3 core paths anyway shouldn't there? Threesome, cuckold and cheating. I thought the update was good even though some of the days did feel like they ended a bit abruptly, and I was kind of expecting a threesome with Martin and the gym dude since she'd already gone the whole way with Martin before. And I'm definitely still hoping for a Martin popping Emma's anal cherry while Patrick watches. The sex scenes with Martin were great

The story and the mystery option are good. The private folder might be a problem in the future for keeping things mysterious, the dev might consider the option where Patrick seeing just blurry/low res thumbnails that would be just hinting at something hot rather than seeing full photos without restrictions. Also, hopefully the dev will keep a path with proper NTR with tension and emotions rather than Patrick turning into a happy brainless cuckold.

Honestly, you have a thick skin on the internet. Random people obscured by the anonymity of using an avatar to criticize other people's work or opinions have a psychologically well-established link. They are called Trolls, because they lurk under the bridges that steadfast people have to travail toward. Ignore them, or do what I do, which is to counter their insults with better insults directed toward them! Rank their insults and criticisms between 1 and 10 for originality, grammar, punctuation, etc. They are usually the immature, full of self-loathing middle-aged grandma's basement dwelling types that fold like a dollar store paper plate under the full weight of your righteous indignation heaped upon their hapless souls. In other words, have fun and carry on what you do best!

I played ALL the 4 routes and, IMHO and I repeat IMHO
Vanilla and cheating paths should be erased. Vanilla is boring like IRL, cheating is unuseful and not arousing.
if I were him, I'll close with the next updates these two paths: Vanilla, they find their nest and they lived happily ever after; Cheating, they break up, wife find another fiance.

BUT

Our dear Dimajio is strong in cuckolding and sharing paths, if he focuses on these two paths he will come up with a true masterpiece!!

I agree. Why waste time writing a vanilla game? The Cheating or Sharing stories are more interesting. If people want vanilla they can get that on a Disney site.

Why not try making the game, the way that interests you and your subscribers the most. Listening to a bunch of randoms on a pirate forum is a recipe for disaster. It will lead to you burning out and another Abandoned game on here. Frankly people who aren't financially supporting the project should have less say than anyone.

This is like a rock concert with a lot of people screaming, the one's that paid are inside I care about, the one's outside crying about how there not getting what they want for free...Fuck em. So listen to your heart and what the people paying ask for.

BTW I loved the update and the direction this title has taken.

That's your opinion that "cheating is unuseful and not arousing". I find it very intriguing and arousing as do the developer's countless fans.

I disagree that the other paths aren't useful. As someone who primarily plays the path people suggest for inclusion not exclusion, it heightens the impact of decisions knowing there are alternatives. Without these alternatives, the veil quickly falls, immersion leaves and you're left with a kinetic porn cartoon that always ends the same way.

It also offers more diverse options for characters.
Cheating on partners has been part of human behaviour since the dawn of homo sapien.

So why not feature it in a game based on realistic characters and situations?

Played this again from the start, still not played the update.

So far it's a masterclass in storytelling and pace. Offering just the right amount of tease. Loving it to bits! Love how you can make the choice based on which porn you watch, that's the best way to do it. Also, you could offer variations of route based on random choices. But I already know how complex it can make the coding. Love this!
