If you don't upload the photos, the game will stop in its tracks. It's not just about making money.
It's not like forgetting to post images for a few days ends the game or causes it to crash. Not posting the images won't even stop MC from getting his next photo session with the same or different girls. But, MC will eventually run out of other things to do and need money to proceed. So, this IS about money. MC is a professional photographer. It is his chosen profession and how he earns an income. MC starts with one "fashion" shoot of his roomie to earn $1 per week, then a second makes it two bucks a week. Soon, starting with friends and acquaintances, he adds more and more girls to his online portfolio and starts attracting models. That is when he begins to earn more money and the girls start wearing fewer and fewer clothing items when posing.

I started over when I DL the game again from here. I copied all of my Steam saves over to this copy so for comparison sake... During my last saved game at the end of the current release, my MC is earning $960 per week and has no worries for money at all... At present in my new save for my restart, he is earning $12 per week and growing. Photography is MC's profession. You NEED to practice MC's profession in game.

Funds are required for certain quests from simple pizza dates, to paying Serena for a certain quest item, to buying required items online at MC's computer, to the photo studio's expenses to larger equipment purchases for the bar later on. MC needs money for a variety of things in game or quest progression will cease. So, you are correct, my friend, I do agree that posting photos is required but it IS about the money. Photos are MC's life and livelihood. Eventually, with no money MC will have nothing left to do and all game progression halts until he earns sufficient cash to proceed.

There are only two ways to make money in this game...
1) Cheat! Enter the computer and type the cheat code for cash into the cheats section... abrakedabra
And, POOF, you have $1000! You can repeat that entry as needed but more than a few grand is a waste.
2) Post the images from your photo shoots online. Eventually, MC will be making bank once he opens the studio...
It won't take long for your MC to be earning several hundred bucks each week.

MC's chosen profession is photography. If you choose NOT to participate in his profession then it's Game Over.

You CAN choose to turn off futa content. Just select that option when you meet Amy and get the choice to accept or decline futa content. You will miss a LOT of content that way but it is an option for those who prefer it. However, MC's career as a photographer, the BDSM bar, the magic, the demons, the other magical creatures and I'm sure I'm forgetting something else too... All that content is central to the story and mandatory to progress in game.

Hope this helps some of you out there in cyber-land. :) Posted this for Multi27... Hope it helps.
Adventure ever on my friends, Phat:cool:(y)

I see people saying you miss a lot of content if you turn off futa content. I can only imagine they are assuming that all of the futa scenes are simply skipped, but most of them have alternative female scenes. You actually miss almost as much content turning futa on as you do turning it off.

Yeah, the only scenes that are just skipped with no alternate version are some early scenes with Amy since it wouldn't make sense story wise to have the alternate version until you can find a cure for her.

Edit: There are a couple photoshoots as well that are futa only because they were commissions for patrons.

Maybe later, like on the yacht and if there are alternate scenes with Amy but when I tested it in the early game it felt like there were huge holes in the content. I missed Amy and returned to my regular save to allow futa. I didn't keep going. If you have played the entire current version both ways then you would know better than I.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

So, you have me curious now to see how it all looks with the no futa setting. :devilish: Thanks :)

If you don't upload all of your photos, you will never get the studio(Amber doesn't find it until you've uploaded everything). Many, many people have gotten stuck on this. So yes, it's about money in the long run, but it's also about the game's functionality.

I agree. I just think both are intrinsic and equal to each other with neither being more important than the other. Both the uploads and the money are key and work together. Yes, no posting online means no models and no studio. Not earning money blocks out the quests that require MC to have cash to pay. Both are equally important and fortunately connected! :)
Peace out my friend, Phat:cool:(y)

Nice game, but the storyline seems to be very linear - you cannot progress with some NPCs without completing other NPCs' quests. It is also somewhat frustration that all "vanilla" sex scenes are unavoidable (ok, I'm into femdom, BDSM and futa on male... but I do not really like seeing things like a girl blowing a guy or a guy cumming on a girl's tits, and it kind of bugs me that this sort of content is forced upon me before I can get the erotic content I actually enjoy)

Welp, the last few pages is why you shouldn't play leaked beta versions...

You definitely shouldn't patch leaked beta versions!

This is something I'm working on for the next game. Most content should be opt in or out. Unfortunately it would be far too much work to go back and add that in to Lunar's Chosen. If you really dislike seeing that kind of content, then maybe skip this game.

Sadly, people will always be too impatient to wait for the actual release...
And some will also be too hypocritical to avoid holding against devs the fact that a alpha or beta version has bugs and unfinished stuff, despite it not being the final version of that release...

Hang in there, PTGames people.

Just as a general observation, except in games with mind control, that sort of thing is almost just common sense.

Most girls you meet in real life aren't likely to leap immediately to the more hardcore and kinky types of sex without working their way up to it first. Fetishes are usually where you go after the vanilla relationship is established. A girl is probably way more likely to offer a guy she kind of likes a handjob than she is to ask him to go down into her sex dungeon and strap him to her fuck rack. And a guy who doesn't really seem into the handjob (or the blowjob, titjob, vanilla sex, etc) probably isn't going to get that invite down into the sex dungeon for bondage and pegging.

Escalation is usually used in VNs to create a slow-burn pace, but it's also fairly accurate to how things work in real life for the most part. Unless you're dealing with LI characters who are just straight-up crazy nymphos or who've been mind-controlled by the MC they're not likely to jump straight to the kinky stuff.

Been with Lunar's Chosen since chapter one on Steam.
Saw it, liked the concept and images then immediately had to have it!
I've played all the way through the most recent update on my Steam copy a few times and started again after DL from here and have to say, "I LOVE this game!"

Actually, from my own experience, most pure dommes (not switches) wouldn't readily offer a blowjob or a titjob. And even most vanilla women wouldn't be too upset if a guy refused such offer and offered to go down on her instead.

That sort of thing is the world's biggest oxymoron.
It's the least common thing on the planet. :ROFLMAO:

It seemed like he was just using the example, to draw a comparison.
Regardless of a dom not offering a BJ or TJ, it's a fair presumption to say she's probably more likely to do some vanilla stuff early in the relationship, before exposing her kink & inviting you to get tied up & whipped.
Unless you're specifically meeting her for a sub/dom session.
