How dark are you planning on getting with the maledom/training? You planning on going as far as Deviant Anomalies dev? Cuz I love me some dark.What the fuck, that's not me
Hi everyone, I'm not sure if I'm just stupid, but I've interacted with everything I can, gotten the file, picked up everything from the tables, voyeured the scene, and saw the deviant anomalies ad (R.I.P it was an amazing game)
But for the life of me I can't find the coffee
Can anyone advise please?

Yes. My game content and genre is also motivated by Deviant Anomalies too.How dark are you planning on getting with the maledom/training? You planning on going as far as Deviant Anomalies dev? Cuz I love me some dark.
Ah I didn't know why but the direction arrow didnt show up to go rightYou don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I think it is renpy problem. I hope not so I can fix it. And note that you can right click to go back to previous scene I think if anyone of yall encounter a hang like can't click anything. Will try to fix that.Ah I didn't know why but the direction arrow didnt show up to go right
after opening the game again after a short while it showed up again
same thing happened where I couldnt click the vending machine until i rebooted the game again
thanks for the hint!
Now, I don't want to go into the "it's not technically voyeur" argument cause some ppl who defend things that have "the spirit" of a controversial kink (like ntr) argue by using technical definitions instead of addressing what the content makes the player feel (like when someone else fucks an LI before the MC is involved with her and that is either talked about or outright shown. It's not technically ntr, but it still makes an ntr-hater feel the awful things they feel with "actual" ntr).
You are funnyNow, about the voyeur thing... haven't played the game so can't rightfully comment, but unless the MC is actively staying hidden and getting hot and bothered by seeing other people get it on, it's not voyeur.
Narrative tool or not, when something gets lambasted pretty universally, maybe, just maybe, it was not the right narrative tool for the job....?Some people seemingly getting triggered to full red alarms over narrative tools used to setup world-building even after the dev himself came out and said the girls involved are randoms and aren't even side-chicks or characters that the MC can/will touch... Sorry, but if you're one of those ppl, ya gotta touch some grass man.
...
In this case, it looks like the MC kinda sees all the sex that's going on around him and he's stumbling into places/situations where such things are taking place without actively seeking it or engaging with it (and again, as a narrative tool used for worldbuilding, something the dev is using to showcase how the world he created works), and ends up seeing a bunch of random ppl engaging with random ppl.
Props to you legend. To all people who just says I upvote people who supports me, I mean of course, but I equally like reasonable debates, viewpoint and advice. Not only I appreciate your support, but I like that you have a cool rational mindset.Haven't played the game yet (will edit the comment or add a new one once i do play it) but I've seen the game in the recently updated showcase and it piqued my interest quite a bit. Then I went through the thread.
I feel for the dev. Some of the users come out swinging mercilessly. It's one of the reasons f95 has a bad rep even amongst it's own users. But massive props to the dev for clarifying things and taking the stance the way he has.

From reading through the thread, it feels like many ppl are being unfair to the dev, projecting their own expectations onto him and not even giving the game a "proper chance".
I got a small backlog of games I've been meaning to try out before this one, but I'll expedite this to be one of the next ones in line, as I'm curious about the story and the renders looks pretty good. And I like the dev's attitude and the way he's been handling things a lot.
I'll try it soon, maybe even today.
Well, this is a good point though.You are funny
Narrative tool or not, when something gets lambasted pretty universally, maybe, just maybe, it was not the right narrative tool for the job....?
Ever heard the saying "The customer is always right"? That's only one half of it, tho. The full quote is "The customer is always right in matters of taste." IF you aim your game at a specific demographic, you should tailor the game according to their taste. You can find virgins disgusting and love whores with a 1000 cock stare. If you make a game for Harem fans, you need to cater to them because they have the money you want. Either you provide them with a product they want or search for another job.
Game Journos and many AAA publishers learn that right now the hard way. HBO is learning that right now and Neil Cuckmann is relearning it again with The Last of Us 2.
I'm by no means a writer, but I could convey the exact same information to the player without triggering anything like this. It is shockingly easy to do it too.
To be honest, every time something like this happens to a new dev, I am baffled. I can't wrap my head around how new devs do it. I cant even begin to imagine how you can fuck up something, that's clear as day to me, so bad.
You aren't respectful either, so cool it. I understand that you are stressed about the situation, but coming out all passive aggressive doesn't help you either. My last comment that survived the purge is my warning to you about Patreon. If I were indifferent to your game, I wouldn't have bothered with it and blocked the thread and you both already. I have helped a few different devs on here just for the fun of it.To begin, i will start from my fault, which I admit I did not do enough deeper to the core research, rather than just follow along tag rules in the community.
But one thing is, everyone is new to something. If it is easy to be successful just like that without making any mistakes and manage to not fuck up, I would like to see you try. In fact I will put you in pedestal, I will even pray to you and you are my new god if you manage not to fuck up in your life. IF NOT, be respectful.

Same as a new driver, everyone would have the risk to crash, there are elements and unpredictable things might be on your way, even can happen to a really good driver.
First of all, I'm not respectful? Can you scroll back and see which comments are not respectful except for the ones that are defamation. other than that i literally thank most of the comments including critics, at most i just ignore the ones that sound hateful. I did not start to be micro aggressive. At most now I am just matching the energy.You aren't respectful either, so cool it.

I don't expect any Dev to do everything right; that would be madness.
You compared it to being a new driver, but you yourself admitted that you didn't do your research; that's like someone driving a car that only knows that cars exist and nothing more. A crash isn't only probable, it's begging for a crash to keep your analogy.
You must have poured months into the first build because the work is noticeable, that's why I'm baffled that you didn't take a day just browsing abandoned or lesser-known Harem games just here on f95 alone, you would have so many examples of people crashing their games in the first few updates with the same stuff you did.
Try not to get too down. I can only speak for myself, but I really appreciate a developer that interacts and is willing to take what people say in mind. That is more than a lot of other people do, so try to keep your chin up,First of all, I'm not respectful?

And another point, I did my research, in fact it is not unintentional, just not good enough. In fact i know you're judging just based on the comments, you're thinking i fuck up because my whole game is based on the things people dislike, but it is merely a few pictures, and just nice i put one on my screenshot list and it snowballed.
Well yes, now here again is that stupid? Yes. I admit its also not okay but i could just remove it? Yes, I'm doing it. It could be treated as a car scratch but you judged just like that. like I'm an ignorant dev, a failed dev, a fuck up real bad.
Well so what if I am, I am technically a failed dev for now. Do i take note? yes. Am i changing it? Yes. What the fuck else I can do. Do I acknowledge your point, I do. Did I say you're wrong? No. Do I know that your comment helps me in a way? Of course. Did I admit my fault? Yes. Do i even thank you? Yes.
So I guess you expect me to kneel down and blow you off like I'm a little bitch with my sorry ass while I thank you, then I would rather be broke. The more sorry my tone is, the more bad things I attract. Just because I'm at the gutter now, like some smelly dev anyone can pass by and judge or step on.
You full well known what your comment above can do to my game. With that tone of comment you are making is trying real hard to prevent people to support me, and you 100% know what you are doing. So I am not worth your respect? You said you can convey things without triggering people. But your message did not avoid triggering me at all. Because you don't see me as equal human. That explains why I talk to you like that, but I still thanked you because you said the right thing and I learned too.
All my point is just trying to be respectful here. I'm doing all the best I could. And deep down you know what tonality you used on me, because now I'm at my lowest and I'm not treated normally, like a sense of superiority to a beggar.
yeah, man it's super respectful how you come at me and assume things, I think and didn't say.First of all, I'm not respectful?

Thanks for the strong straightup message. What I can say is there's still lots of really good audience too. All this time I got the gist of it and had some experience from handling these situations already. I won’t be removing my messages though. I want to leave it there as a reminder of how far I’ve come. From being a scared new dev who is wavered, to a dev who is strong and focused that is determine to produce something only the best.I came here just to say this. Ignore the haters Bao. You have to understand that it will never stop. Today it is about NTR. Tomorrow it's about an LI that doesn't have enough attention. Day after it's because you didn't include a fetish they like. These are vultures, who gain an ego boost and bully new devs for free. They want their opinions heard without paying or supporting on patreon.
Remember 1 thing. These people will never pay on patreon. These are losers. They will downvote, down rate and spam just to get what they want. They will basically do anything other than pay. Because they have no money and even if they did, they do not have kind hearts to support. So they try to attack you when you're new in order to influence you and feel powerful, like they contribute something.
They know very clearly, the moment you have a few patrons or support, they will lose all their power.
Again remember, these guys will NEVER pay on patreon. I GUARANTEE. Those that actually support on patreon will NEVER pull a dev down with these tactics. Even if its a fetish they didn't like. Again, it's not about NTR or non-ntr, Voyeur or not. These are terrorist and will do anything but patreon to a dev.
Real patrons do not behave like this and will never bring a dev down like that. Trust me.
And NEVER apologize. That is your mistake. They know they have power now and will NEVER stop. Delete all your messages bao, and continue on. If you give in, tomorrow they will come back again and demand for other things. And guess what, even if you give them everything, they STILL will never support you on patreon. And also, your game will be trash. Because these losers don't even know how to make a good game. If they knew, they would be making tons of money creating a good game instead of trashing others with their time. So don't listen to these clowns. Follow your dream. People who like your style will support you.
I'll tell you now, the reason why your game is not doing well IS NOT because of this issue. I've played your game and there is ZERO NTR or VOYEUR. It's not because of this. The reason why your game is not getting support yet is because it very badly written at some parts. Just being honest. But that can so easily change. The bar is VERY LOW. the moment you put up a few more scenes with the characters, the patrons will flood in.
Your game has immense potential and the art is amazing. Everyone can see the hard work. If you improve your writing, you will succeed. I am sure. So many people have already bookmarked this game. The art is top notch and you have a very interesting premise. I assure you, real patrons will support the moment the game gets exciting.
Again, these few on this thread? They are not people to be concerned about. Again, they are FREELOADERS who try to act all high and mighty to bully a new dev. The moment you reach a few hundred patrons, you never have to look at them again because they have no power. ZERO. Freeloaders should be happy to pirate a game and grateful to devs who put in hard work. Not behave like entitled losers. This is their only chance to demand for things without paying. Ignore them.
So you do you bao. Make this game a success and they will go and prey on other new devs. These are bullies and losers, their lives are miserable and they have never made anything worth shit in their lives. Don't fall to their level.
Again, these guys are NON patrons. No need to apologize or respond. The best way is to kill them with success. Many people are waiting for the next update to see if the game is worth supporting. Make a great one. Once you achieve success, this will all be a distant memory. Many on this forum are great people who are willing to support on patreon. Don't let a few freeloaders bring your game down. I am awaiting your next updates, as are many more.
Thank you. As of right now, I'll just focus on what I will do best. I had make my final statements, I've made my move to step back reasonably, but also will pursue what I believe in. Will try to find the perfect balance and definitely will keep going. Much love.Try not to get too down. I can only speak for myself, but I really appreciate a developer that interacts and is willing to take what people say in mind. That is more than a lot of other people do, so try to keep your chin up,
Text based communication is hard some times, even more so on a site like this were there are plenty of people for whom English isn't their first language. So someone might think you have underlying intentions that you don't (or you about them), unfortunately there isn't much you can do about it when that happens. I've had it happen to me, people making assumptions about the things I've said. Heck, that can even happen in person sometimes,
And it doesn't help that some people carry general issues with the site, mods, or other developers into other discussions. For example, all of my other posts in the thread were deleted by mods, it would be silly for me to blame you for that or take it out on the game, especially since you quoted one of my posts and had positive things to say to me, but some others might get upset and take it out on you.
Also, you are right, this has been discussed and further brining it up is probably not needed. Even with some of what was deleted I think there is sufficient posts from others, and your responses to let people know that there was some scenes some people might not like but that you are aware and are making changes, which again is more than some other devs do.
Again I'll say, try not to lose heart and get down. You're communicating and that speaks a lot about how you want the game to succeed and are not just giving up. Don't let one or two folks here get to you. It's a balance between listening and taking in feedback, cutting yourself off, or letting the feedback become too heavy. It seems like you're trying to keep that balance, and I'd encourage you to keep going and not get discouraged,![]()
Thats quite funny seeing the timing and coincidence haha. Well I could do it way earlier before getting ass fucked for so long, and also if I would do it, I will not choose a time where just right after I announced my v0.1.1 release. I'm not that stupid to dig another hole for myself, and pushing my announcement messages up again to be unnoticeable.Come on Dev, use alt account to support and encourage yourself is not cool.
