Could it be that he moved in another country? That was certainly the case back then.
Excerpt from his blog on [Machine Translated, emphasis mine]

Also, on the subject of monetizing the project as well as a bit more info on the state at the time. -
Thanks for the links, I'll check deeper.

Inventory

Since Glamour is going to have a lot of items, we're working a good, functional inventory. For example, the game has categories for items like: "all items", "food", "gifts" etc. The categories are temporary and we might change them down the line and add new ones. We'll definitely add "quest items".

Once you select an item, you'll see its description and useful information. If it's a cake, then you'll see how it will affect the main character after eating it. If you give it to someone else, then you'll improve your relationships a little bit.

Some effects will be permanent, some temporary. You'll be able to craft a lot of food items yourself. Crafting interface is almost done and I'll show it to you in the near future.

All NPCs will have their preferences (randomly generated when you start a new game, btw), so you'll have to figure out which characters like what. I'll tell you more about it later, NPC's preferences is an important feature of the game.

That sounds good. He's aware that BB had serious issues cuz of Eric's removal and it looks like he won't let change his base ideas in this one. I hope he can make it tho whole project seems endlessly more ambitious than BB. I can give him that renders and UI elements look great at this point and whole project might be amazing even if only half of his goal will be introduced. I would gladly wait for 0.3 for a decent material but Patrons aren't so patient I guess

To be honest i'm still quite bummed about the whole BB ordeal with Patreon, but i'm liking what i see so far in Glamour. One thing @DarkSilver should definitly do is get his new game to be easily moddable. I see a lot of potential in that further down the line.

The poll with no meaning. . . :confused:

I don't even get why DarkSilver botherd on this one at all. The info this poll can give him isn't really worth anything in the end. I made this point clear in a post on the Pateron page as well.

1. FMC
2. FMC
3. FMC, becasue if you add a MMC it will slow the progress down and it's not worth it. (So please don't vote this option)

I understand he had alreay made up his mind on the FMC and just wanted to see the public reactions. But if he wanted the truth it's obvios that the option to vote MMC should have been in the poll. DarkSilver knew it would be a landslide victory for this option so maby he felt it was pointless to add. Thats also why the poll stands to feel pointless. We all knew already given the choice MMC would win. Second place FMC and last place both. Either side realize that this is the least wanted way to develop a monthly uppdate game as the drag out of new content will doubble the workload.

I support DarkSilver to do what he feels is right. Whatever that may be. I think allowing polls (40$ or not) should only be for information and never to change the outcome of the Devs original plan for a game. But this time i'm a bit lost..
A poll where the outcome was obvious and the resault means nothing. :pensive:

Anyways i hope things will start looking up as Gamour hits the market (The small hardly known adult market that is)
I will be playing the game and as i enjoyed the gameplay style of BB more then it's sexual content i feel good about Glamour and what we've seen so far. Give me stats to grind and a goal to reach and i can play forever, muhaha :)

He said that FMC will be a thing regardless of people's opinion so MMC was obviously not an option for a poll. It was just to analyze how huge anti FMC group is. He knows that MMC would win in a poll. If 3 option would win I'm sure he would try to do 2 protags in some way. I'm not sure what to think about it as 2 protags is obviously better but with crappy monthly releases we have it will always affects whole project. Decent FMC simulation games are always good. I would love to play Girl Life with renders and improved writing

If he truly wanted to see how huge the anti-FMC group is, the option to vote for MMC only should have been in the poll.
The market is 80% male players who can never project themselves on a Female. So basically the poll resaults is a lie.
It will show 80% of the votes on an option they had no other choice for. Down the line DarkSilver will face the simple truth weather he wants to or not. He will be forced to choose between going for the money, or staying true to his game.
1 of these choices has a MMC, the other a FMC.
If he goes option 3 and tries to have 2 MC it will only end up the same.. Everyone is gonna start pulling for more Male content and less Female. Thats why this option was never viable to start with. And he knows it. He designed the poll around the facts he knew already so i'm pussled as to why he did it at all. It's like voting on jumping in a pool and guessing if you will get wet or not.. Pretty Obvios outcome.

That's fair, there are enough MMC incest games already, at least this one has a female lead and I hope some more varied scenes than BB did.

Nyah, doubtful it's 80% seeing how popular FMC games are. I would say like 60% prefer MMC and maybe 20% can't play FMC at all. He thought that 3 will win or be much bigger as those who picked 1,2 can play FMC without problems. Data is always good for approximations. Ofc, this poll isn't meant to give anything except for data so in some sense it is meaningless.

I wonder if he would be as brave if the polls had turned out the opposite result... I thought he was finally defying concentrated attempts to get him to abandon his original design, until I saw the result. It's easy to be brave when you get the result you wanted. It also helped DS's case that a large number of the "only male MC's" crowd had seemingly already departed.

That said, I feel that the case for "80% male who can't ever play female MC's" is overstated. The number of male players who would rather stare at shapely dark elf ass for hours instead of the steel backside of a knight is quite high. Plus, the "projection" mode is hardly the only, or even the predominant, mode in which to take in adult content. (Look at how male porn stars are essentially second class citizens.) I'd say the "voyeur" is a far more common adult connoisseur than the "projector".

For the record, I'm a male who doesn't project himself onto a female main character but I absolutely love games with female protagonists. You can steer the character into situations that lead to sexy results. I tend to project myself onto the protagonist's partners instead. I honestly doubt that playing a female main character is that big of a no-no for most people.

I fully agree with you, but the vocal minority makes it seem like this game will flop big time.

i agree too, in fact, i was working on a story myself, with a FMC, i don't understand why people don't like it.

Why the fuck does it have to be Russian language? That language is so complicated and not used anywhere else than in Russia only :mad::mad::mad:

Because the native language of the developer is Russian. Now shut up and GTFO.
I meant if he wants to get some more profit out of his games then he should've used a language that whole world knows and uses. This is just bad marketing decision that will freeze his development forever

The first Glamor's versions were just a test site intended only for the Russian community. Not for this thread, forum, etc. But now, after the development of "Big Brother", the developer making a remastered version with a minimum of two languages - Russian and English. Are you happy now? Read the thread and don't be silly.
