There will be some extra learning curve because this is not exactly a 'hello world' Java 8 program, it uses JavaFX as the GUI, which is an HTML layer that then interacts with the Java code under the hood. It's a fine choice but the additional abstraction might make it difficult to understand modifying X code makes Y visual change, and you need to have HTML, CSS, GUI and then Java skills to mash it all together. That being said this is actually a really nice looking JavaFX application.I thought I heard someone say she uses a homebrew version of Java... oh well, all the better then.
I'd make a distinction between advancing the game and advancing the story. The thing that strikes me about the current version of LT is that mechanically it seems pretty complete, but in terms of story you can't play past what is effectively an extended tutorial (because the rest of the story doesn't exist yet). You unlock various game systems through quests, and very quickly you gain the ability to enchant your items to whatever you want, as well as transform yourself and your slaves in every way possible, including their sexual orientation. Sure, the story can go on, but I don't really see much room for the game to grow. Aside from more racial transformations for demons, there's not really anything left to unlock in later stages of the game, you can do everything already.The game isn't worse for the addition of a demon-centaur who wants to turn the MC into a futa who desires to serve horse-cock. It's just that said content does not advance the game. The game will advance when it allows the MC to progress the main story into the Foloi Fields and beyond.
Or compare to Trials in Tainted Space with it's pretty relentless trickle of new NPCs and events, CoC2 is pretty much the same, or Flexible Survival which I think has been rewritten twice in the past few years, but each time with a bit more content . It's not about pointing at another game behaving badly and thenCompare this to Degrees of Lewdity, which doesn't have a main story at all. All content updates are additional sex options, more NPCs, animals, tentacle monsters, etc. to rape you, more clothing/tattoos/other body modifications, and some small events, occasionally event chains here and there. It's not more update than LT (sex overworks, Alexa quest, more clothes, Rat Warren dungeon), yet people usually praise Degrees of Lewdity's developer.
Of course it's fair game when a game with a clear main storyline doesn't get updates to said storyline for half a year to complain about that fact. But to pretend like Inno doesn't do anything at all when she actually regularly (late) releases content updates is dishonest, imho.
Unfortunately (and probably fortunately for many creators), Patreon creators don't particularly have any liability (Edit: except for dealing with refunds), because Patreon is set up as a subscription platform for access to a creator's works. It's not a contract for goods like a retail sale. So patrons are not owed delivery of anything other than what they produce. Because they're not a retailer there aren't any FTC regulations around deliverables or anything....
But I agree that it's dishonest to pretend Inno is doing nothing. While I firmly believe it was a mistake for her to allow the game to be derailed by a Patron poll voting for side content, Inno held that poll and is bound (morally and legally) to produce the content that resulted from it. She is (slowly) ticking off her commitments to that ill-advised poll and is now on the verge of putting it behind her.

Okay, as someone who has partial knowledge in making a game in java, with the amount of things you can do during sex, that put too MUCH VARIABLES to consider if you just wanna talk after sex like "Oh you came six times during that sex?I just want more interesting stuff to happen in the sandbox. Maybe, more interactions with your followers and slaves. New races and such. Don't very much care for the story or the side characters when I can see what random slave npc will do with another one of my slaves.
Also, would be nice to talk to the person after you've beaten and fucked them. Yeah, I can talk to them after I fight with them then have sex, but I like to assert my dominance to the doberman girl who has been face stomping me for the past several minutes and refusing my climax.
Assuming this is part of Helena's romance quest, there's a known issue where if you don't have wings to fly after Scarlett during this segment, she just disappears from the game. You could try to save-edit her location to the shop tile in Slaver's Alley, but your best option is probably to redo that bit with wings so that you can progress naturally.Where do I find scarlett after talking to her in Helena’s Nest? ”She” won’t show up in the Slaver’s Alley.
I'm sure you can find western developers who will do loli content, but I daresay they won't be on the major platforms because regardless of how legal age differs between countries, none of them have a legal age that low.Is it too much too ask for loli content on a western porn game? The age limit you could've been is 18 when legal age actually depends on your country.
New races and more varied encounters come with expansion of the story. TBH, I generally skip most of the random sex scenes.
I don't know how you expect random slave NPCs to have dialogue or interaction with any real depth. Given how the game actually works - you do realise it's not controlled by some Turing-level AI, right? - the content you claim to want can only come from custom NPCs.

Okay, I'll remember that but you got raped and you hate non-consensual acts so you hate it.
Okay, I got it but you have a pregnancy fetish and vaginal fetish and he bred you like a bakery so you love it.
Okay, got it but you dislike oral sex and he used your mouth.
Okay got it..." and the list will continue
The BEST the dev can create is pretty much just show variables that happened during sex. The dev has to create a seperate new function which records the entire sex. THE ENTIRE SEX which will slow the game down that longer it takes and will just delete it afterwards unless the NPC is not just a rando or doesn't want the rando to get deleted, it will just get added to the long list of variables the NPCs had in the game.
Sorry about my ramblings, now that I am calm now. Sorry again
It would be cool if you could free a slave who you got particularly attached to (ie. high Affection). And a few more dialogue variations wouldn't be too hard to put into the game. Things like asking slaves/companions about their background are, I think, already planned.I... Just wanted a bit more dialogue options... Maybe a free slave option? Have sex with someone after the fight then talk to them asking why they're doing the whole mugging thing? Just wanted to talk to them so I don't have to look for them again, beat them, then talk.
Didn't want an engine change, jeez.
Tolkienesque races like Goblins and Elves are simply never going to be part of the game. The others are - I believe - planned. Lamia are, I think, planned for when the story reaches the jungle. That said, there's currently 17 races (not counting racial variants like Zebra-morphs and Leopard-Morphs) in the game.The thing I want most is just more races. Goblin, elf, oni, lamia, dragon, lizard, and so on.
Ah yeah, it’s part of that story quest line... so... how do I re-do it?Assuming this is part of Helena's romance quest, there's a known issue where if you don't have wings to fly after Scarlett during this segment, she just disappears from the game.

If Inno isn't comfortable with (or just doesn't find the appeal in) loli content, then there's no reason for it to appear in the game.
Sorry mate. Had a bad day.I... Just wanted a bit more dialogue options... Maybe a free slave option? Have sex with someone after the fight then talk to them asking why they're doing the whole mugging thing? Just wanted to talk to them so I don't have to look for them again, beat them, then talk. I don't want anything extensive. The chat after sex could literally be a copy paste of what you ask if you don't do anything.
I very much enjoy the game for what it is already. I can spend hours finding random generated npcs in Slave Alley or in the alley ways. I, personally, find it enjoyable when I find a character that checks off a lot of things I find attractive. Yeah, I can custom make my own slave, but I just enjoy the whole randomly generated characters I find.
