I just don't know if people would enjoy reading that much text, in that format. And I feel like I'd almost need a 'placeholder' image between the existing images.. Maybe I'm overthinking it, though?
I think the way I would do it is to have a section in the main menu, like a gallery but for the stories that would be unlocked when the player gets far enough into the game. It's fun seeing that little popup in the top left telling you you've unlocked something.

Or the short stories could be acessed from the main menu, like i saw other games doing it. That way the stories get very visible for the players and they can also choose to read them or not.
Not a bad idea but I would prefer that content integrated into the main story for immersion.

+1 to having it as extra content available in the menu, or even unlocked in game at certain points or by clicking on things if you want to make it more interactive and have more people go and check it out to see what they've unlocked.

EDIT: I meant to reply to the post above yours MoP. RC Boss's...sorryboutit :HideThePain:

You get two weeks or two hours for a refund. If a developer stops working on a game valve will not refund you.
It does if the game is in early access. Which is the reason why most game are releasing in seasons lol.

I don't know where this discussion about Steam comes from but I wonder: Is it really profitable to publish a porn game on Steam? And are there really people who prefer to play it on Steam? Why?
I've seen some people say they prefer to purchase a game on Steam rather than donate through Patreon to support a VN. I think it comes down to a simple transaction for a product vs. a continuous stream of donations to a creator. It's a different mindset and in that mindset, Steam is just more cost-effective while still monetarily supporting the creator.

tldr; Put out a new build of the next chapter to patrons. Currently it stands at 887 new images, and three new animations. I've gotta clean some images up here and there and build out the last bit of the chapter, but I'd say the initial release is no more than two weeks away.

Good render. Can't get hyped over it though. Am just missing Gabby and Mason. :ROFLMAO:

He's removing the age selection. The taboo patch adds the dark path and incest too
I don't know if there's a translation error or what going on, but you keep misunderstanding my point or telling me what I already know. Taboo patch adds age selection for a few characters -> he's removing this option from the taboo patch -> I don't want him to remove it. That's all, really.

What I'll prrrrrobably do is just leave the age as a variable, and if someone wants to they can just edit that variable to be what they want. This is one of those things where I've honestly had more people complain about it than tell me they like it.
Ah ok, nice compromise then! Although still a little unfortunate. I'm guessing these dark and risque games stir a constant wrestle between public perception, artistic integrity, and satisfying kinks or w/e, and I get why this particular option has gotten the execution order and why it's not a hill you've chosen to die on (though am honestly confused as to why people can tolerate virtual grape, yet virtual age selection is too far). I just hope other optional things don't get removed too at some point if enough people end up voicing their dislike :( I'll always support the big picture, though! I trust you've decided this is better for your game long-term and game's too good to get weighed down by ultimately minor stuff. (y)

I misunderstood, I thought you were saying he was removing the whole patch.
