The game sounds very interesting. I am looking forward to the first release.
Btw, are you certain releasing a demo for the public is a good idea? You only have one chance to make a first impression, so might as well make it the best possible. You can always return to your planned release cycle later.

Female Domination? Are you going to make the MC dominate other people or other women dominating the MC or both?

In the long term, there will be a chance for both to occur - you'll be required to interact with lots of different targets throughout the story, each of whom will have their own predilections, kinks, and preferences.

Hm, well I think I'm stumped in that case. I thought that Molly was Keisha Grey for sure, but maybe I'm mixing her up with someone else. It definitely feels like I've seen that exact picture, though, so it should be obvious once I find out who it is. The redhead is also superfamiliar, especially the eyes and eyebrows, but I can't quite place her either... Any hint?

I'm very happy to just come right out and tell you, but if you want to try and guess - Molly's model's initials are EJ, and the redhead's (Olivia) model's initials are VS

It's a good question, and to be honest, I'm not too certain of anything - this is my first game so I'm sort of feeling my way through it. But I figure that a free demo is a nice way to draw people over to my patreon in the hopes they're interested in supporting it. The plan will be to keep the demo updated as I update the game, so in effect, it is just an old version of the game that lags a few releases behind the latest release, something I've seen a few successful creators do here. I am determined for it still to be polished enough to make a good first impression though!

Yeah, different release dates for different tiers is a very popular model. Personally I don't like it, because us pirates often get the version before lower tier patrons, which kind of sucks, but it's still a very popular model. I guess it's proven somewhat successfull or at least a lot of devs believe it's successfull. I was specificially only talking about the first release of the game though. Like I said, you only have one first impression. Make it as big and polished as possible.

I noticed something else. You have a couple of explicit public pictures on your patreon page. You should change that. Patreon doesn't allow public nudity. All explicit images need to be behind a paywall. There's a good chance they never find out about it, but why risk it.

Thanks for the heads up on the patreon policy, I didn't realise that so I appreciate the advice.

Thanks! I do think GGGB is one of the best games out there - if mine can be even half as good as that, I'll be very pleased :)

GGGB sure is amazing. Your demo was better than Eva's and so is the premise of your story. I'd say you are off to a good start.
If I didn't have a personal policy of not being a patreon to anyone. If I were going to be you would be top of my list, if the subsequent uploads are as high quality.
I can be quite the whiny bitch and not easily impressed, but you've done quite well so far.
