I've supported many patreons on here for that are a reasonable price. ToA, Aurelia, What a Legend etc, but they're all at like $5 max. This is a ridiculous amount of money for a demo. You're charging complete AA money for a demo. Biggest ripoff since Pure Onyx.

If I were you, I would start off with a smaller low tier patreon with a smaller payment that at least allows past paywall stuff, as well as gains you far more people since it (if you do this) will be a relatively small sum. Larger sums like $15 would be better suited for something like being able to have something pertaining to the Patron(s) or be able to vote in some of the matters pertaining to the game. Its not that people are hating on you and your work, its that the price for looking at some of the content is pretty high to some that are on here - especially with a game this early in development. Its better to ask for small amounts from a much larger amount of people rather than ask a larger sum from a smaller group - cause what if some of them leave? When there's little sales of a product, you make it cheaper to bring in more people. When sales get extremely high you increase the price to level out the consumption of said product. In this case, it'd be better to start off small and work your way up.Ugh, hate wave
All the characters are free and will be free forever. There are a couple of scenes locked and some custom clothes. Character clothes will always be free
Let me remind you that the game started just 3 months ago. I'm working on it nonstop and without Patreon it won't be possible
I honestly hope this advice reaches you well, as the game honestly looks really good and I don't want to see it crash and burn.
I did edit my review with advice similar to this and some examples of really popular game communities on here with creators that have Patreons for some examples.
Thanks for being polite here. I understand that fellas from here are used to some pattern of how many content or other benefits should be for specific patreon tier prices, but my plan is working and I already funded the development that I need to scale and keep our fast pace of development. I am not deceiving anyone, people understand what they pay for. It's natural that people here now want my project to burn out and all that review bombing. It doesn't affect the production of the game, so if you really enjoy my project, just follow our discord and patreon public updates

So your saying, you found enough suckers to keep this going, instead of going under?Thanks for being polite here.

Just clicking the subscribe button to unlock content and thinking about a price it would be around 5 - 10 dollars (yep it okay) but when i saw that price haha maybe next time.
it wasn't a review bomb, just a genuine and adequate reaction. Besides I think there were more people being polite and explaining to you why that was a really bad idea, I can somewhat understand your position as a developer but it's important to look at it as if you were a customer, you should know by now that most people really don't have those amounts of money to blow monthly on an unfinished porn game. I'm gonna put Heat as an example here... it's 10 bucks to get access to milestone builds that are basically the latest as of now (everything without locked features)...Thanks for being polite here.

Also I'm not trying to shit on you, I really want this to be a good thing. You're blindly dismissing all the negativity as a hate wave that will go away and that it means nothing- I'd be more than happy to discuss this with you further, I mean it in a good way, this really isn't a good PR strategy if you will and trust me this will hurt you financially longterm

tbh the first few posts were kind of a destructive criticism. even I (at the time without seeing the current version yet) thought it was some sort of troll spam. because there were so many angry posts and it LOOKED like whining lol. But seeing it for myself i understood it was an intrusive way of doing things. like showing an option and going "OOPS you need to pay money for that" it wouldve been better for the "free version" to not be able to see the option at all.

Also, where can I find your discord link, cause its saying that the one you have on your Patreon is invalid. Is it that I need to apparently be a patron to join?
*(and no, I'm not targeting any specific group of people or anyone on here. Just saying it because we've all met rude people online in some shape or fashion. Just felt that needed to be said before some flame war started on here or something)
nah dude youre an idiot thats allThanks for being polite here.
