Dear devs, what is going on here? The last update, almost unplayable, the whole dungeon thing, unclear, hard to navigate, jumping works very poorly. Then there is the whole space battle, with no point to it. Please go back to the "game". This should not be considered even as a filler. I really like the basic idea you had so far, bit the latest iteration is really not continuation of that.

Thanks for the feedback! You have a good point and we agree with your point. We went with experimentation for the last 2 updates but the next one will focus on the base game. But I want to add that the dungeon and space stuff is in an early state and not fully fleshed out yet, because of that the shooter might seem pointless for now. Btw did you know you can unlock an adult scene by taking Drox's offer and fly for one more time?

Good to Know it. In my personal case, I only have a real interest in the scenes of the MC with the girl he is dating (or girls if the game is a harem type), in games with only solo routes (and multiple endings) I prefer to avoid all the scenes with girls who aren't my choice for the ending of the game I want (I only play one ending, I choose a girl, I focus on her and ignore the rest of them as much as I can). If the game have much LIs that I like, usually I avoid the game. But I suspect this is a really weird thing, and most people have a different thinking about these things.

In this game, if I must choose, I have a clearly winning girl.

Character Creator and Adult Sandbox for Android!

Many of you guys have asked for a mobile version of Monolith Bay. Because of that, we ported the Character Creator and Adult Sandbox of Monolith Bay to Android!

We can't port the whole game to mobile while it is still in heavy development. But the Character Creator and Adult Sandbox already work really well and the touch controls add a lot.

Supporter patrons can download the Character Creator and Adult Sandbox for mobile now. And the Character Creator mobile version will become free in 2 weeks.

Wow, a really proactive stance! Refreshing to see.

I'll look forward to the sandbox. Character creator was pretty nice from the last version.

I really like the art style, but I couldn't get in the point n click style story progression, but that's just my impatience. Looks lije a promising project!

I've liked it so far, it's definitely one of the better porn games I've played so far. Not too grindy and very similar to older console games. The town and spaceship are nice. I liked the firefly effect at night while exploring. The dungeon quest was also nice but I gotta admit I cheated and looked here for clues. As others have pointed out I noticed some bugs, npcs sinking into the ground or floating, etc. I sure you'll sort it out eventually since the game is turning out good so far.

I would like to see cum effects on the girls after sex. Also the ability to talk about relationship status with the girl and about other girls for more emersion. Maybe some loss of relationship points if one girl sees kissing/having sex with another, things like that.

Anyway thanks for the game so far.

The game is fun but there are a ton of visual bugs and its easy to accidently skip text and there is no way to skip back to re-read it.

Excited to see more though. Works well on controller but can customize characters with it and if you save using a controller you cant exit out of the save window. Xbox one controller.

I dont know what character creation does either.

For now, you can just use created characters for sex in the adult sandbox, but there might be more in the near future :)

I'd be more than happy to support the game. Just not into Patreon and stuff like that, will the game be for sale once it's finished? If so, will it be on Steam, Itch.io, etc? I can buy the finished game to show support. Which I'm sure is gonna be a heck of a long time.

Yes, we plan to release a finished version of the game, and steam is definitely on our watch. But as you guessed it will be some time until the game is finished, and that time depends on how much support we get on Patreon and if it allows us to work fulltime on the game and maybe even to add more people to our team :)

Understandable, well thanks for making things clear. Will keep an eye out for this one, if you guys do decide to put the game on Steam even if it's in its Alpha Stages/Beta I'll still purchase it to show support. Stay safe!

While at times pirates can be nothing more then a leach the can also be a beneficial to indie developers.

How much does it cost to advertise a game?

It costs about $50,000 to market an indie game. Branding takes about 2 weeks to complete, it will cost you about $7,000 to do yourself, or about that to outsource. A trailer takes about 1 week to produce, costs you about $4,000 to do yourself, and maybe less to outsource

source


One of the hardest things for an indie developer is getting the word out. Often times its a question of how will this unknown person with a good idea get people to not only try there game but also spend money on it. Even with a good video you still have to get people to watch it and even if they do theres no guaranty they will pay for your game.

When People see the video no mater how great only a percentage will checkout your content and even then only a percentage will try the "demo" if there is one and finally only a percentage will actual spend money on your content.

Thus one of the biggest boost is exposer the more people know the more people added to your base number. 20% of 10 is 2 but 20% of 10,000 is 2000 and whether paid or pirated if someone likes something the talk about it and in turn that adds to your base number.

One other point beta testers there was a time developers would pay teams of players to test there games and fined all the bugs. Golden playstation 1 and playstation 2 era. In recent yours not only do players beta test for free I see a lot on patrion paying to beta test. Some developers worse then others.the more player Paid or pirated as long as there providing feedback it is a benefit to the developer.

Non of this is in any way mint to be an attack against the developer Team Monolith in fact they took things with more grace then a lot of developers I've seen on this site over the years. But for any who think pirates are only a leach think there is a reason many developers chose to stay active in the forms and as this is a pirate site it is hardly the place for anti pirate speech. It's like going to a nudist community to complain that people are naked.

Some big doners on patrion are pirates here not everyone is willing to spend money before there sure of what there purchasing and from one build to the next there are many games that become unplayable or sometime lose what brought you to pay in the first plays. With the way people are struggling after covid some now more then ever want to be sure before the invest there hard earned money. Not all but if you assume that everyone who pirates those not support the developer or that the developer lost money. There are always those who would never have tried if not for the pirated version and just like with the video example a percentage of them will pay and more often a larger percentage will give much needed feed back.

PS the main topic was peoples inability to wait but again its a pirated copy on a pirate site gofigure. But at the least the pirates are giving back to the developer with feedback and that for any indie developer is extremely valuable especially for one that plans to go commercial. I look forward to where this game will go in the future I feel the developers head and heart is in the right place.
