Ren'Py Futadom World - Binding Sim [v0.9.8.3] [F.W.G.B.S.]

[kingja89]

They should be getting bigger and they would, if patreons wouldn't unsubscribe. You think noone new joins in?^^
Maybe it's just more niche than I'd like, idk...
Looking at the update frequency and the dev's job situation, no, it's definitly not enough for me

What does patreons unsubscribing have to do with them not growing? The reason they stagnated and got abit of a bad name and reclined in growth was for the same reasons that apply to all the other porn/hentai creators out there and that is they were not putting any new updates out for a long consistent time and they werent responding as well they should have to their supporters and fans, its as simple as that.

Thankfully they have improved that and seem to have gotten somewhat back on track after their shuffling about in the dev team and Rye patch. Lets be brutally honest theres FAR worse devs out their with games on this site then the Futadom devs but yes there is also room for improvement from them as well that im sure we all hope that happens.

Finally on the Dem/Claudia topic, I wouldnt be surprised as RCBoss said if there was a sweet gentler route but I have a feeling, could be completely wrong of course, that in both cases, more so for Claudia, that they will be rougher then Rye. I guess it depends on how the bad ends play out in their respective updates as the rough stuff will probably be tied to them to some degree. Of course its not like they cant go back to these characters at a later date and add a small new route to them i.e a Rye full domme route that isnt tied to a bad end or if lets say Claudia is gonna be rough an bad then add a nicer route later on etcetc.

You realize that this is the very definition of growth for a game based on the financial platform patreon, right? More unsubs than subs = decrease in revenue and available resources = The opposite of growth. Especially if you look at the stats, where 50 of the fairly stable 650 patreons unsubbed right after Rye dropped, and the number of patreons dropped to under 600. That's a pretty hefty portion of the earnings, and a reasonably clear signal.

It's a reasonably clear signal that you're coming to a conclusion based off of your biases. I have nothing against whatever fetishes you may have, but it's ludicrous to suggest that a bunch of people unsubbed from their Patreon because they didn't like the fact Rye didn't dom them enough anymore. Putting aside the fact there's plenty of domination content in the game (especially in Rye's route), they did nothing radical in this update (besides upping the ante in quality and length I would argue) - pretty much every character you can currently romance treats you fairly well, so where was this great migration of patrons before?

More than likely, a lot of people were annoyed with the delay of updates thus far and/or were only subscribed between updates.

Okay now that is a lie.
The drop you claim happened because people were unhappy with Rye's route is the same drop that happens every single month to every patreon page when some of the pledges end on day 1 of the month. They are always recovered in the next few days on patreons with a steady patron base.
And to prove you wrong, V0.3 was released in the second week of april and this very same month had a peak of almost one hundred extra patrons pledging, reaching around 740, in the second half of the month right after the release of new content.

My bad, misread the graph. But the increase in patreons is due to the fact that the update was avaliable for 7$ instead of the prior 20$, so that's that. so in my defense the increase in the number of patrons does not necessarily mean an increase in total revenue. But we'll have to wait to get those stats i guess. Sorry again for misinterpreting the graph, was not my intention to misinform anyone.

Woho getting steamy in here. I'm just sharing my opinions, sorry for misreading the graph. The fact is that I'm not sharing my "biased" opinions based on just myself. I didn't even bring up the patreon stats until kingja mentioned their growth. I'm comming to a conclusion based mainly on some of the feedback in the patreon feed/reddit community, and i've never said no one liked Rye, i just think a bunch of people were disappointed. You have, on the other hand, obviously come to a conclusion based on my misinterpretation of the graph and written off my entire point without taking into account verbal feedback. Thanks for righting my wrongs tho.

so when is the release date after the delay because of that funeral that sounds like complete and utter bullshit?

It DOES sound like BS, but who knows.
No word on the current situation, yet

 

[Dark_Moustache]

couple hours ago, it went from 98% to 99%

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

I don't think this is the kind of thing they would lie about nor is the kind that people here should start to claim without any evidence.

couple hours ago, it went from 98% to 99%

That is the patreon goal. Not the game's update progress.

fuck, u made me sad, i spent the entire day waiting for updates

Someone mentioned perhaps day 20 as a possible release date, one or two pages ago.

 

[talikiri]

Yeah no. I will take a guess and say their patrons were very pleased with Rye route considering how high and stable their support is until now.

Rape, torture and kill are pretty much the bad endings the protagonist needs to navigate across. That has been true to every path they released so far (and the random events). Go to Sunni but avoid Shauna, Vicky but beware of her bad ending, follow Rye but avoid her mother's schemes.
I am pretty sure Demetria and Claudia will follow the same patern.

The games premise is getting dominated and there isn't a single route where that actually happens they are all just sweethearts to you like any other dating Sim I'd imagine the developers or the patreon supporters are lonely or something and they want a little dating simulator along with their futanari game it's kind of stupid just separate the two have a romance dating dim and have a "dating sim" where you get dominated it's ridiculous to try to put them both in one. It was never originally supposed to be a sweet femdom game it markets itself as something completely different much more hardcore fendom and then all of a sudden it hits you with this lovey-dovey stuff that it doesn't have anywhere on the patreon or the description of what the patreon this game is about. The way the changed rye completely ruined her for me. If they do the same with claudia then i hope this game dies already. Total boner kill

Lets hope Claudia is stone Cold

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

LOL.... Seems like someone never read the game's overview page on patreon or this thread's OP.

Futadom World – Binding Sim is a dating simulator game.

Also I question the maturity level of someone who is so butthurt the developers and their patrons aren't following YOUR ideas about how the game should be that you desire instead that it crash and burn.

 

[ssj782]

There's a difference between being dominated physically (which happens a lot in the game) and being dominated mentally (which every male in the game is, but so much more so when 'bound'). So far there's only a single end where you haven't literally had your sense of self and mind removed, and that's one of Rye's. How they treat their new 'pet' has nothing to do with the fact that they pretty much own and control their bound in every feasible way. Some are even kept in chains and cages.

I like domination. I like corruption. I don't really care for mind control and forced drug dependence. And that's pretty obviously what their binding does. One of Rye's bad ends shows how dependent they are after even a single day without.

I do wonder where the the July/August patch went. Did it get pushed back again? Or was the 8/1 incredibly tentative in the first place?

Hey, somebody died and I need to fly to canada. Game is probably going to still come out in August, but not on the 15th. I'm having trouble thinking about dickgirls right now.
Will update soon,
Sacha"

There are 3 other people working on it, though and afaik Sacha is a writer, so I don't even see why it would be delayed because of this in the first place...

Meh. I've gotten 3 days off work due to my neighbor dying, even though I didn't even like them. Funerals are a very easy way to be lazy or get extra time on a deadline without complaint. Even if they only affect, say... 1 out of 4 people on the staff, lol.
Its pretty easy to say something like "My neighbor for the last 12 years just died" and get the pity, without even lying. He died. I just left out that I didn't actually care because he was one of those creepy people with a notepad and binoculars, calling the police multiple times a week because a squirrel ran across his lawn.

It could also be that each of the 4 are working on separate areas of the game, and the 'religion' patch that was coming next required that particular artist's section.
