For someone who's only motivation seems to be cash, it seems a bit funny your lowest tier on Patreon at 5$ got a "limited number", and your top tier is at 20$. For a creator that pirate copy all his gfx assets, (Because I doubt you pay any license fee's to whoever have copyright to the images you are using) you seem worried people will do your game.

If going to compare with some other creator using real porn as assets. Avenger's patreon is 5$ for both his games "Son of a bitch" and "Big kuyash", the release schedule is quite far between, but those games really massive at this stage.

Also a friendly advice, trying to ransom your game and blackmail people to have them pledge to your game or else it will get abandoned works poorly. You would not be the first in that case who's game actually got abandoned because people did turn their back to the creator.
There is the basic level of 5$ as with most games and it's Freshman. I temporarily disabled it to favor the Pioneer level which offers more services at the same cost. Many users signed up to Freshman last month despite Pioneer's presence. To avoid confusion for users, the Freshman level was suspended until the limit was reached on Pioneer.

I don't understand some people's relentlessness towards me as I have always been polite and friendly and am still providing free access to my game with the most active services. I imagine that in your work you get paid for the service you offer, but then you get offended if I try to get money from a job that currently occupies about 20/25 hours per week of my free time. The fact that I repeat that I have to reach a certain amount for the game to go on is a simple fact. If I do not reach the threshold that I have set as a goal within a few months, I will look for a new job that is more profitable. This is the basic rule of any business.

If you like the game, play the free version. if you like it a lot and spending a few dollars a month is not a problem, buy the patron version. If you like it a lot but don't want or can pay you are free to look for alternative ways. I don't seem to have ever attacked or insulted anyone for trying to pirate or hack my game. I just made it clear that of course, I'm not going to make it easier. Like most of the games featured here, this is a very small project with a small fan base, it takes very little to drop it. Also for this reason many interesting games are abandoned.

Maybe it's a language barrier. And I don't want to disrespect the mod's warning in the thread, but I'm not posting to create a flame war or to torch the creator. Just being a critique. Now....

You said quote; "I am not going to facilitate the work of those who want to hack the game by going against my interests and those who finance me. I remind you that this project will go on only if I have a certain number of patrons who justify its work if it is not so, the game will be abandoned."

As a creator posting your game on this site, you can expect it to be pirated, mod'ed, patched, hacked, whatever. It come with the very nature of this site. But you also get in touch with a lot of players that can be potential supporters and patreons of your project. Could be a language barrier, but the way you worded yourself it sounded more like a threat of "support it or else it get abandoned", and the "limited" lower tier pledge kinda make it feel like a moneygrab.

Support come over time, you need to build a following, this is equal for every creator. Focus can't just be about money, money and more money. Very few games is a instant moneymaker. There is probably quite a few people that would be interested to just tip your lower tier jar and still pirate the game. Just look at like SummerTime Saga, how many lower tier followers that game got.

Also, this just me being a critic, but I would never put a 20$ pledge on a game that use real life porn assets. Because at such a cost you could just as well go get a monthly premium to pornhub or something and see all these adult stars in all their glory until your dick fall off. You would probably been better off trying to focus on a lower tier pledge, and once the game getting beefier with more content etc. You then start to "paywall" some new added content for higher tiers.

In anyway good luck with your game.

I'm sorry if I sounded grouchy or aggressive. It was absolutely not my intention. It is very difficult for me to have a conversation in a language that is not mine. I have to remember to use smileys :).

As for the tiers, if you see, the benefits from the 10$ tier to the 20$ are practical all the same. This is because they are placeholders for benefits that I will add in the future, at the moment they exist only for those who believe in the project and want to finance me with more than 5/10 $. I created that number of tiers to have the group (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior) which if I'm not mistaken is the nickname that is given to high school students. I only did it because it seemed nice to me :). Pioneer is a separate level created to have a certain number of users immediately so as to understand the interest in the game and also start any poll on some features of the game. The limited number of the Pioneer was initially 30, now I have increased it to 75 because there have been more subscribers than I expected and I don't want to start limiting some benefits only for those who are willing to pay 10$ or more. If I see that the number is still growing I will probably bring the limit to 100. So that many users can benefit from all the benefits with 5$.
Furthermore, I have not yet established exactly which benefits to assign on each tier. It is only two months that this game exists, and I try to learn gradually what the users' wishes are.

I have been on f95zone for a few years with another account and I have also downloaded pirated games, so I do not intend to offend anyone who does it because I first did it. My hope, especially in this initial phase, is to be able to limit this because I still don't know if this project is worthwhile or not to be continued. I am working diligently on this thing, and I am using all my free time. Believe me, it is not easy to invent stories, write them, program the game code, search and edit videos and translate everything into a foreign language. It is a very tiring job and it is important for me now to feel motivated. Aggressive posts towards me do not help my job, on the contrary, they push me to abandon everything and look for another way to earn :confused:.

I repeat I never want to be aggressive, if I seemed offensive I am sorry, it was not my intention and it is not in my character. I hope, however, that there is also cordiality towards me. Aggressive posts don't benefit anyone.

Peace. :)

Android version?
In the first post of the thread under "Installation" you will find the indications to start it on android:

Android
Extract the folder from the zip (select the zip and open the options, you should find the 'Extract' option). Open your browser and type in the address bar: file:///sdcard
You will see all the folders of your smartphone in the browser, navigate to the folder where you downloaded it (default is Download) and start 'Lust for Life.html'.

MEGA link is not working.
I just tried it and it's working. Try again in case it was temporarily down.

Is it too much to ask for developers to put in just a teeny tiny sliver of creativity and actually give the female characters any name other than their porn star name? I know I know, I'm expecting too much of devs.

Actually it is smart to keep their names, that way these threads aren't filled with requests for their names.
Also, if you want the girls to have other names, just open up the html file in notepad (or similar program), find and change the names.

How do you put the furniture together for Milena? I have 53 fitness, spied with the binoculars and completed studying the manual, but whenever I go over there after school I don't get the option for it.

As it is written on the agenda you have to go early in the morning on the weekend. Go on Saturday or Sunday between 9 and 11. ;)

Hello, I really appreciate this game but have a quick question.
How can I increase my daring stat? I mean I almost always skip classes (got rid of old teacher and finished riley content) but can't go more than 3.
So I almost have no content with family. Can someone help me?

When you skip school look for the blonde girl, you have to complete all the scenes with her to get to Daring 4.

Hi guys,
as anticipated, this weekend, I will release the new version. I think it will be ready already for Friday. The new content will concern Gina, Mrs. Ivy, and Lena.
From next week I will do the first poll. It will be a recurring poll that I will do monthly and will concern the choice of which of the characters you want to see developed first. Each month you can choose a specific character, but this doesn't mean that the next version will only have content about that character. I always like to develop 2-3 characters in each version simultaneously, so the winner of the poll will certainly be one of 2-3 developed characters.
That's all. See you in a few days.
