I am ASTONISHED by the amount of bullshit crap on this post. You write and write and write and know nothing about me (which is understandable) nor the game you're demolishing based on what? An alpha at its third major update?
First of all, and I want to be EXTREMELY clear about this:
there is NO LOLI content nor tag. Underage characters are depicted in absolutely NO SEXUAL WAY, they are there because of the medical and personal story of Dr. Julie, and they are NOT ASSOCIATED in ANY WAY to sexual content. First of all because it would be SICK, second of all because it would be ILLEGAL, third of all because there is no need for that.
Then you talk about the money I (supposedly) make. Well, I get 450$ from Patreon and about 1600$/month on Steam. I have another job as software/web developer here in Italy as well, because this job allows me (and my children) to live, but in NO WAY I am able to hire someone else. Times have changed for this kind of market, and you're talking about big players out there who, I'm sorry to say, make crappy games with lots of fetishes and often crappy stories.
Allow me to be extremely clear about the game once more: this is NOT a PORN game. This is an adult Visual Novel with erotic elements (sometimes explicit). There are lots of stories behind, unlocking the incest part won't be easy because, unless you live in some parts of the world, it's not that easy to fuck your sibling.
I work to entertain people. If I wanted to grab cash out of them giving nothing in return I would've done the trading consultant. My games are made with passion and lots of effort and yes, I work ALONE because I don't have the money to hire a composer like I did for GP1, nor a writer as I did for TCS Episode 1, etc. Everything you see on screen is made by me, and you have to forgive me if sometimes a picture shows a little texture compenetration, I do my best to avoid that, but I think it becomes irrelevant once the story keeps you entertained.
Ok, sometimes the story sucks. Sometimes it won't. This happens in Hollywood, when dozens of professionals write something, it can happen in this niche, indie game. Yes, indie, because NO ONE is financing this project except for the players.
You don't like it. Fine. Send me your email so I can check how much money you put on Patreon for this project (and past projects too) and I'll gladly send everything back to you ASAP.
"I am not 50 bucks to up my voting power. I am day one fan, one first supporter" and deve went "sorry the voters have spoken!"
it's another bullshit, because I never did that. If someone did, well, that's their problem, isn't it? My 5$ pledgers receive way more often rewards than 50$ ones. Oh, and as a 50$ patron you receive the chance to write your own story/character, and believe me or not, no one does, because they just want to support the game, and fuck the rewards.
I'm sorry if I'm asking for money in Early Access. Right now it's the only way projects like this one can live. OR, you can do like other devs (won't name them, sorry) do and earn thousands of dollars per month and quitting development abruptly or releasing the same crappy stuff every time.
I received a review here, A REVIEW with 2 stars because "Oh, the game's good, if you're into this I'd give it 4 stars, but because I don't like the genre then that's 2, and who cares about the dev who's making a good job (else I won't have given him a virtual 4 stars), the most important thing is to make people know I don't like this kind of games."
Good, you're entitled to your opinions, but remember people live with this crap. And I'm not talking about myself, because I got used to the public of this website since 2020 or so, I'm talking about the DOZENS of people out there who are always struggling to keep working. Reviews don't mean a thing on Steam. Refund rates do. And my games are way below the percentage of refunds which is considered "standard" for Steam. That could mean something, right?
So, enough of this. I think I made my point.
Before DOWNLOADING this game, let alone buying or supporting it, keep in mind
this is NOT A PORN GAME. It's an adult game. If you can't tell the difference, you should probably not playing these kind of games anyway.
And this is a game where you can play TWO DOCTORS. I made this game because I believe in it the way I believed in General Practitioner 1. It didn't made me rich, I am not ashamed to say I own a 6 years old OPEL MERIVA with unrepaired damage on the left side. I only went on Japan on holiday once in the last 4 years. I got nothing to hide.
But this job allowed me to live for 4 years and to feed my two children. I can't thank you enough for this, since I think I'm blessed and in no way cheating on anyone. I'm selling my games and my art (some are better than others, I can see that), and you're paying what you think it's fair price for it.
I like people's feedback, I encourage it, but when it's based on facts, and not random ranting. And I won't reply any longer to this kind of feedback, I'll just re-quote this post again and again in the future, because I think I said everything needed to be said. Please remember it's not mandatory to download (let alone buy) the game. If you do, especially if you do it for free, remember to respect the developer of the game, me or any other dev out there.
Thanks.
