Ah so the multiplayer is just because some retard from the publishers is a deranged cunt, now that makes more sense. I have been wondering for a long time where the fuck did that suddenly come from.Yeah, here's some discussion from Patreon:
- It is unwise to add two modes which do basically the same thing and compete with each other. All sex scenes involving no more than two actors are accessible offline in the single player gallery mode.
- Is there a reason you guys are so fixated on keeping it strictly multiplayer?
- Yes, and we won't bulge. Sorry.
The only thing I can say is that without this decision we are unable to continue developing the game under current covid-19 crisis at all.
I probably have already said too much. However I can assure you that adding a multiplayer mode is the only compromise we made for the project to move on track during the dark hours (we were hit by the disastrous turn of events brought by the pandemic harder than you may think, but we still managed to deliver every monthly update, which is a feat I am proud of). By calling it "compromise" I did not mean that we dislike the idea tho: it's an exciting challenge and we will not monetize the multiplayer mode or like how EA puts it, "turn it into a service".
From these I can deduce that the most likely reason for this decision is that some key contributor (or multiple) really wanted a multiplayer mode. Of course they realize that multiplayer sex is a very niche thing with many problems, so they're trying to get people to use it via this "exclusive content".
It's not the first time game projects are undermined by someone trying to push their ideas/fantasies/fetishes too hard. Oh well, at least we still get a fairly excellent single player mode (I hope).
That being said, this is a huge red flag and a sign that customer satisfaction is not the priority here. I would be vary of giving this project too much money at this point. Someone's comments earlier about milk milfs being pushed through by a high paying patreon only add to that feeling.
Also, you should be wary of giving the project money at all since they cancelled their first game in the first place tbh.
