VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.3.6] [Eva Kiss]

[mommysboiii]

Just a FYI, and because this narrative REALLY needs to die.

F95 brings about a tenth of a percent of Patreons. That's what some data has shown to another dev.
So no, this forum doesn't benefit the developer. You are WAY MORE susceptible to get new patreons from Discord than from this site.

As for raising awareness yeah, sure it does. But with the types of posters we've had lately I doubt it's positive. Again, Discord proves to be way more tempered and most of people's time and energy is usually spent actually discussing the game. Not ruminating about whether or not Eva stole the money to fly away to the Caribeans.

I am sorry but I have to disagree I agree that we can talk about pirate games and if its wrong to do and all this kind of stuff no problem but start a twitch account know even if you are the most funny person on earth you will have zero viewers nobody will no that you exist and its very hard to build a fanbase without anyone knowing you exist I garantee you 100% that a lot of games that good big would never be big without this kind of sites if you are skilled people will now that you exist and some poeple will start supporting you than people on patreon will know that you exist with a certain number in patreons than you can go on steam with the fanbase that you already have and new people will come in and they will now that you exist and maybe new supporters will come in but this only works if you have an existing fanebase as i say make a twitch account now unless you have a twitter or tik tok channel with 1000 or more of people or a big streamer firend it will be almost impossible even if you are the most skilled/funniest or whatever guy.

Does this game abandoned ?

 

[Malkovichi]

It should be funny, but Axel from this game looks a lot like the hero of mine (in terms of name and appearance).I'm not implying anything, however, I started development back in 2019

While i do agree with you about the blighted armchair devs and doomsayers around here i have to ask from where did you took this data about the number of patrons who are also forumites. Who was the developer?

Please, next time, learn to use punctuation and paragraphs. It will make your text easier to read and make more sense.

I'm not saying that is untrue for whoever that dev is specifically, but that is obviously not true for the vast majority of developers. A tenth of 1% is hardly anyone. This website has several million members, with around 15-30k accounts online pretty much all the time. It's pretty much mathematically impossible that such a large number of people result in a virtually nonexistent Patreon increase.

People don't look for lewd games on Discord. If you're on a games Discord, obviously the odds you are a supporter of that game are much higher. But...how'd they find the Discord in the first place? Probably places like here, as they're linked in the OP.

Wow, that's crazy! Axel and Axel. Identical. Oh snap, now I can see Lena is there too! Is this the start of the dimensional merge? This is how it happens, isn't it? No time to wait for your answer. I must prepare.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that every chapter is bigger than the one before it. How long can this go well. Half a year for the next chapter, nine months for the next one, a year for the following?

The year is 2054. The digital viagra chip has just arrived through my Amazon-taco-bell living-pod's airtube late last night. After a quick meal of protein-enriched pilbugs, I'll be jumping right back into chapter 20. 2049's chapter 19 was kind of a let-down, gotta say. Though Chapter 20 is the best jack I've had in 2.5 decades, even if I need 20 cc's of dick meds to make it happen. Well worth the wait. Well worth the wait.

For my own interest, where are you getting these stats? Not doubting at all. Just curious where I can find those analytics for this and other games.

Aren't this wasn't?

im interested as well. He's probably just guestimating this. I highly doubt there is anyways to track this. lol

You can "control" discussions on discord with "bans" of any critique.
And how does "browsing" on disord for new games works?

It doesn't matter as one dev would hardly be evidential.
There are many reasons why a site like this could fail to bring any supporter to a dev. For example if such dev was to be confrontational and tell everyone how the site isn't helping and they don't need them to be successful.
On the way to track it however it would be very easy, if the dev would have a poll asking how its supporters heard of them. But to be able to make conclusions on the effectiveness of the site itself as a whole, you'd need a lot of data.

The only thing they have in common is that they're both pale and have slicked back blonde hair. Axel looks like half a dozen other Scandinavian (especially Swedish) male models, especially with his jaw and facial structure, which is a pretty easy go-to choice to make when wanting to create a very masculine looking alpha male model type of character. see:

hello guys, is a new version coming soon?

That's why places such as playforceone exist, where the devs can advertise their games (upload a demo or a full game). Out of > 100k people checking the demos, you are likely to find at least 100 more patrons.

On the way to track it however it would be very easy, if the dev would have a poll asking how its supporters heard of them. But to be able to make conclusions on the effectiveness of the site itself as a whole, you'd need a lot of data.

Don't need to do a poll if you remember when you had big influx of patrons and compare it to your promotion on this forum. While this site sure helped me kickstart my Patreon a bit, it was nowhere near serious until Eva promoted my guide as the official one on her Patreon. Only then I went from nearly 20 patrons to almost 70 in a single month. Although I'm not a developer that has their game listed in "Latest Updates" section, which I imagine gives a bit more visibility, but still, it's something to think about.
