Yeah, that's the idea. I know there's public versions, which honestly I actually forgot about when first making that post, but there's something to be said for just not releasing free versions anymore in favour of a Steam release and to simply no longer give the free versions of HC1 and 2 away as I highly, highly doubt anyone is getting them from patreon anymore as opposed to this site or the any number of other piracy sites.As for 1 and 2. He should be able to put them on steam if they are the versions with the extra content. The free versions would be considered "demos". But he would need to pay the $100ech cost to put them up. I think the wiser thing to do would be just do #3 for now, and if it does well then think about putting 1 and 2 on steam. And to be safe, just ask steam support the rules specifically on it.
Thank you for your leak on the previous games, waiting for your release when this game is completedNot once did I ever say "hey can you upload the 20$ version". You are merely assuming that because you want to push a false narrative about me. Funny enough if you actually ever did a quick search here of his games since you love them so much you would notice that I already have access to 20$+ versions LMFAO bet you didnt see that coming.

I guess there goes your whole argument. All I was doing was giving some advice to a fellow pirate.
I don't think I'll be publishing the 1st and 2nd game. I think if I did that I'd have to put them back behind a paywall because Steam doesn't allow games to be up for sale on their platform if the dev proposes a free option somewhere. As for releasing it later, I'll see. Putting the store page up before actually seeling it at least lets people wishlist the game before they have the option to buy it.
Did you make sure that global.rpgsave and config.rpgsave had also been properly transferred?
You can still making public release and free on Steam by either selling multiple "Supporter Tiers DLC" or selling the Extra version as a full game/DLCYeah, that's the idea.

I completely forgot Steam charges people for putting games on. It makes sense in theory given how much of a problem shovelware and asset flips are on Steam but Valve already takes a pretty large cut of the money from each game sold on it so I tend to forget about that.
God, poor Leto. Calling him a chick magnet that gets no pussy is such an accurate description. He's got Rose with who he can't actually have a proper physical relationship easily and he's clearly already lost her, Cyanna is into him but he never noticed since he views her as a sister, Lily is introduced after the time skipping commenting on the size of his dick and it's made abundantly clear she's into him, and multiple random women have expressed an interest not knowing he has a girlfriend and he either didn't notice or they gave up when he showed no interest. The dude gets the attention of women on a pretty consistent basis but they all wind up fucking his friends, coworkers, or boss.
"Put your morals aside... help the community". I'm sensing a bit of a contradiction there?I know peoples want to support the dev but this is a piracy forum, put your moral aside and help the community by contributing. If a game is good, a leak won't affect much regarding the revenue. This series is already banking on the top 1% of porn game on patreon, the only thing dev is lacking is a Steam release to maximize the revenue.
That's really sad to hear, you're one of the best (and nicest!) devs out there and I really enjoy your work. I'm happily already supporting you on patreon and I would gladly spend money for a "full" release version of your games as well. Please keep up the good work!"Put your morals aside... help the community". I'm sensing a bit of a contradiction there?
Leaks do affect revenue, sometimes by between 20% to 25% from one non-leaked month to another leaked one, although I cannot prove this is entirely due to piracy. Maybe it's because my game isn't good, if we go by your logic? Besides, I'm from Switzerland. I make below average there. Heck, even my mom makes more than me working as a secretary.
The game is already going to go public anyway, thousands of hours and $ of work entirely for free, so why get so impatient that you need everything right away without waiting? Then once you've played it, what? Welp, you gotta wait even longer for the next version...
I know, I know, this is mainly a piracy website, who cares about the dev? I'm aware my rant is unwarranted here, guess it's just late and I'm being a bit salty, sorry about that...
... ... ...Not before the endings
It's okay to feel frustrated in this situation. As a solo developer(yeah okay some artists involved too) you're putting a lot of effort in your games so you deserve the appreciation. We shouldn't forget that we pirate games for enjoyment(and to spite some greedy companies :] ) If the game is good then we should be thankful to devs and show appreciation by giving them money they deserve. Happy dev means more content and that means more happy players. Besides you need to pay artists so it's essential not to lose too much(though I dunno how much it costs)I know, I know, this is mainly a piracy website, who cares about the dev?

Being top 1% of porn games on patreon means nothing at all. After fees and commissions that is well below minimum wage. Once you stop relying on your parents and have any business experience, you will realize that isn't a lot.Thank you for your leak on the previous games, waiting for your release when this game is completed

Nah, unfortunately that would be too costly I'm afraid, and especially for as a reward to a game that's entirely optional.
The appeal of the game is the pixel animations not the CG. If some is introduced it won't be to any large degree.That's a shame to hear, there are at least plans to introduce some CG art into the game?
Well, as a 5$ Grunt, i was a little bit surprised to find the Update 10 here as fast as on patreon. Btw, for me it is easier to download it from here now, because Megaupload is so discusting"Put your morals aside... help the community". I'm sensing a bit of a contradiction there?

I've never heard anyone refer to megaupload as disgusting. What's wrong with it?Well, as a 5$ Grunt, i was a little bit surprised to find the Update 10 here as fast as on patreon. Btw, for me it is easier to download it from here now, because Megaupload is so discusting
I personally think, that your allready have this amount of patreons because of your high quality and your very entertaining job with your proof of life content. That is why i don't think, that this leak will have negativ effects so much.
And after all, i had only found you BECAUSE of this forum. Love your work, keep going like that.
It got dowload limit now (maybe he got it earlier but now its around 1 GB per half of a day or something)I've never heard anyone refer to megaupload as disgusting. What's wrong with it?
