I don't think so, it looks like the other few games of that sort but can't blame the guy, if he wanna earn some money there needs to be thing as such, i don't think a lot people would support the game just for the Ai pics and some writing.

Believe me when I say it's better to not have paywalls. It's okay to do what most do and have 1 version for patrons and 1 version for public or 1 version ahead for your patrons/subscribers, but paywalls are never eagerly received, especially not for a first version.

If you want to know more, you can search for Elzee on here and what happened when he tried that. To date I know of NO developer who has come away with paywalls in a positive manner, it just makes people not want to pledge and more motivated to break the DRM and paywalls. Elzee...FallenEros.... doesn't matter, it's happened before. Ultimately as well it's taking time away from you making the game when you try to fight it.

A demo and full version fine, 1 version ahead for patrons which tends to be the norm can be fine too. Extra's for patrons is fine as well I've found.

I get that you want to be paid, but the demo or first version is supposed to be the showcase, the 'here is everything' so far so that people are drawn in. Imagine if you found a stall covered by a curtain and it the person said he needs money to show you what's behind the curtain, but you'd enjoy it. How likely are you to make that purchase without even knowing what it is or being able to see it? And if your competition or peers aren't even covering their stalls with a curtain, how are you going to attract footfall? I.e. people wanting to buy/pledge money?

Now take that example and imagine it was a curtained Burger Stall next to Mcdonalds i.e other games without a curtain (paywall), guess where people are gonna go?

Really hope the developer takes this advice seriously, never want to immediately off the bat start charging for paywalled content especially since this is your first game and ESPECIALLY since this is AI works. Love the concept of the game but oh boy... really do hope you consider the future of this game and the feedback you've been receiving.

At this stage this really isint much of a game or visual novel. Hopefully this is a futa on male focus but all the real scenes were paywalled to the tune of $12 for two probably short scenes....hopefully this develops into something good later....

Ooohhh, I'm curious about that. Do I just search the name up on the forums? Or look for their games to see what's that all about.

I want to love this, DEAR GOD I WANT TO LOVE THIS!!!!!

But with pretty much all future fun content possibly being paywalled, that makes it difficult.

It's going to be brought up since I just made the changes, but after receiving several reports the answer is yes, FH Studios & GC Studios (gabby.writes) are in-fact the same person. So please stop spam reporting, we know about it, and the alt account has been banned. Now going forward you can treat this game as if it's been made by GC Studios simply "rebranding". I included their information in OP for those curious.

That said, please keep this thread on topic going forward. Please no more discussions on paywalls (I know, I hate them as well), AI usage, or NTR as it's quite well known GC Studios uses the trifecta: Paywalls, AI, & Popular Tags (NTR). If you'd like to talk about said practices please take it to General Discussions.
