show me where the latest version is free.

Beta builds of each version (Alpha - Pre Release) are patron only content. The reason for that is to get feedback from a controlled group, and for them to report bugs to me so the official free version is as polished as possible.

Basically, every version is free once it's complete.

All they're doing is the same as everyone else uploading media they didn't make for profit. Well anyway I was just wondering why Runey picked at this particular company when it's just one of hundreds, and why he cares about any of these hundreds of sites doing it when he's still making 8k+ a month like always and it has no effect on him. I would only care If this negatively affected me somehow.

Giochi's business doesn't hurt me that much, maybe a little. The problem here is that they're selling my game and outright saying they made it, or it was sold to them.

In my game, there are multiple links to my Patreon, and it even says "If you bought this, you got scammed.". And I'm certain they removed that, along with all of my links.

This issue isn't about money. This issue is that they're stealing my hard work, claiming they own it, and selling it as their own.

There is a massive difference between Giochi, and F95.

F95 doesn't claim they own the game. F95 actually helps developers. F95 Advertises our games.

Giochi claims they own the game. Giochi steals from developers. Giochi tries to shut down developers from making any money.

edit: If sites like Giochi were to replace sites like F95, you would never see a free porn game again.

Anything illegal is criminal. And every dev on the site has to deal with others profiting from their work. I just don't see why

It is as simple as this, the world is not perfect.

Welp, it's time for some DDOS'ing

Guys, it's useless, this guy won't understand it, no matter how hard you try. He simply doesn't want to understand it.

I just don't see why Runey both, went after this company in particular, and why he cares when no other dev cares.

Pretty sure other devs care too, Runey has just been the most vocal about this particular issue so far.

 

[EvilUser]

Of course we care, I'm still in doubt if I should put a watermark or not.

Don't DDOS them. If you fight illegal activity with illegal activity, then nobody is in the right. We're in the right currently.

Hey @Runey what happened with that character (I think it was Ashley if I remember correct)? I saw Patreon staff were on you

Have to, sorry

I'm not really sure. To be safe I removed the public download and images of Ashley from my page. I'm not exactly sure what they're asking for. And they still haven't responded. Looks like It'll be next week.

No. Illegal means being contrary to the law. Criminal means being contrary to criminal law. That's why getting a fine for parking your car in the wrong place is not as serious as getting prosecuted for stealing or punching someone's face.

I just find this so strange...

Imagine you were Da Vinci in the modern age and you painted the Mona Lisa, became famous as fuck for it.
Then people started just printing pictures of it off and selling them, claiming that they made it. That they're the ones that put months/years of effort in to creating such artwork.
In what world would that be okay?

Just because other sites do it doesn't make it okay. They have no right to do that what so ever and they're not entitled to do whatever the hell they want just because other people are getting away with it.
Runey is one individual, he/she can't realistically take on 100 websites at once most of whom are probably anonymous entities. 8K or whatever a month sums it up, how could they possibly take them all down?
Doesn't mean it should just be ignored.

Or maybe they will look more thorough of that "issue" and will realize that you are fine Anyway, good luck fellow dev!

Oh god, please don't compare somebody posing Honey Select models to creating the Mona Lisa. I'm all on Runey's side on this, but please don't compare him to Leonardo da Vinci. I'm getting douche-chills from the pretentiousness.

I'm not trying to defend myself in using HS models, but the graphics and scenes only take roughly 20% of the effort in development. The story is most of the work, and that part is wholly original. I'm not attempting to copyright the visuals, moreso the story.

 

[Runey]

Finally! An update from Patreon! Not as bad as I thought it'd be.

Basically, I need to provide proof to them that Ashley is over 18 in the story's context.

And I wasn't trying to denigrate your game. I haven't played Harem Hotel, but let's just agree, that even if it's very good, it's not the fucking Mona Lisa.

If one of the main issues is her slutty school girl outfit I guess you could just remove it but please try not to let them push you into altering her looks, maybe if you made reference to her getting a job like Kali that could help show she's not underaged.
