Honestly, I'm wondering that too, but that was the only thing that came to my mind related to piracy in adult gaming, which is why I wanted to mention it.
No and about rpgm you need port the entire game to that format, "HBOX" did that and no idea how
Speaking as someone that started and left game dev between 2010 and 2020. Yes. Very heavy analytics are common in any sort of title because there are now 3rd party plugins made for unity and unreal which will trivialize the implementation of such and it is childs play to link it up to a microsoft azure or cloudfront AWS backend. Since most modern windows PCs are already making call-outs to AWS or azure, the end user wont even see anything unusual about it in their network traffic.
That's very interesting! Thanks for sharing
Well, I agree with that point too. A lot of big companies will complain about "missed sales."That's very interesting! Thanks for sharing
About the awareness, I'm pretty much of the same opinion as you 100%. My line of thought was more about the game's "reach" i guess. It's difficult to explain, but I imagine that in terms of "potential buyers", people who found the game in 3rd party sites and downloaded for free most likely wouldn't ever buy the game if buying was the only option. And in the same way, I imagine that most people who found the game on itch.io didn't go out of their way to play the game without paying. For that reason it's quite sad the dev wasn't able to get the game greenlit on Steam, specially since the game seems very high quality actually. If it was me, I would try arranging a japanese translation of the game (easier said than done, i know) and try reaching a bigger audience selling on DLsite and hbox.
I believe we are witnessing a change in paradigm about all this stuff, in pretty much every "non physical support" industry.
It's definitely an angle to consider. You have a game like wildlife that's barely making progress on the game portion of their product and they're pulling down heaps of renewable cash. I'd bet there are some supporters who have put in 100$+ and yet some of those same supporters would flatly refuse to pay 69$ for a new game.
Thank you very much, with this advice I was able to go past day 33... I must say that since it didn't go past day 33 I found several ways to unlock some scenes early if I could give some advice it would be to raise the confidence to 200 as soon as possible, it can be done achieve before the 20th, because bathing with the sister greatly increases all the statistics.
Why does it say $67,720 on the pic but you can literally go to their patreon page and see that it's at $13,880? I mean, combining patreon and subscribestar revenue amounts gets you to $14,660, which is still a very enviable amount. But what's up with this misleading image?
That's a very good question.
I'm convinced froggybob12 is an undercover Kagura employee in this thread and he's the one who is going to steal the translation Shade made and mello's decensor mod so they can use it in their version. This is a canon event,
I would try to tackle and eat a live fucking moose for $13k a monthThat's a very good question.
I just checked again to see if I'm going crazy and nope, same amount. I can only assume it's using my local currency, even though it's set to USD at bottom of the page.
Thanks for the heads up though. I'm a bit relieved actually, not that $13k is a small figure but it's much more believable than 67k. It left me contemplating my life choices for a while...
For some reason, Patreon's currency button is slightly broken. It shows the actual value of whichever currency is chosen at the moment, but always shows USD at the bottom of the page. If you choose Hong Kong Dollars, it shows 108k a month, and still states USD at the bottom. Either way...I'm suddenly a lot more disappointed in that game. I played it a while back, and thought it was a good work-in-progress game for an indie maker, and the slow pace done during free time reasonable, but 13k a month? And it's still not finished after almost 3 years...? The content feels a lot more mediocre with that viewpoint suddenly added. One month alone could probably pay for all the art currently in the game, 2 for a higher end artist. And they complain that only 7% are monetarily sending money every month for an unfinished game? It's as bad as battle passes and micro-transactions from money-hungry AAA games.That's a very good question.

DLC is still in progress. ETA is end of year at the moment.
Oh I didn't knew that it was still not finished. It's good to know since it means even more content
at that point you should be strong enough not to lose first match. And i think at some point you get help against black hole if you do well enough. ( although i don't remember which route i was at that time)
