Thoughts on combat:
1. It's hard to parse at a glance what each ability does right now. It would be much better if there was some sort of unified "rules text" with coloring that tells you straight away whether an ability is a
2. Buffs and Debuffs could use a unified and consistent set of icons, keywords and effects.
3. Combat feels too swingy, and the choices you make during combat are pretty uninteresting: basically your support characters put all their points into a team buff or enemy team debuff, your attackers put all their points into a single target attack or aoe attack, and then they just spam that attack whenever they have energy or press D if they don't.
IMO things would work better on a cool-down system, and the flow of combat should be a contest of applying buffs/debuffs and removing hostile buffs/debuffs until you're in a position to finish the enemy off in one or two devastating blows.
Of course, combat really isn't the main draw of this game, so I understand if you don't have resources to re-work it. However, I would wonder why you bothered designing such detailed skill trees for so many characters.
4. You should have some way to respec attributes and abilities.
Personal suggestions:
1. Being basically forced to wait many hours of the day to progress the story or get certain events feels really unrewarding. There should be some kind of "useful" activity to spend your time on that isn't just fast-forwarding time.
2. I'm personally into the pregnancy/breeding/harem/incest/romance content. The futa, trans, monster/tentacle and furry content is pretty "meh" to me, but I understand you want to appeal to a wide range of kinks. However, I just want to say that any extra effort you put into that aspect gets me super interested in supporting on patreon/subscribestar.
For example, it would be great to see characters having different dialogue and scenes when they're pregnant, or when they're breastfeeding, or perhaps even coming to the MC to be bred since the setting about the MC's pheromones support this plot element.
3. I don't particularly care for the implication that the MC's

I wish you would do the first step when it comes to be creative. Instead of offering that whole "make the start as hard as possible without making it rewarding" travesty that is a good option if you pick hard difficulty... why not scrap that for normal or easy?
No wonder people say it goes down the shitter if you wanna deal on Dark Souls 1 level of creativity but you just picked the second game that has more difficulty for the sake of being difficult.
Then we have the maps with little events that steal your time and offer little rewards. I had no idea I'm on a constant time limit for both my patience AND the red meter on the center top. I could play any RPGM game that has a 30 days time limit until all is over.
The game was good once but the more time you put into "polishing" the worse it got but luckily that's your ship to sink and deep down you will go alone.

Be careful not to impale yourself in the end or you can brand those words on your forehead and get a tiny tear from me.

The kraken isn't supposed to be beatable yet. It's supposed to be something you go back to fight at a higher level.
... Somehow, a bunch of players have beat it anyway.

I have beat it as well in 155 version. Thing is that sometimes it bugging and isn't attacking at all and waits until you drain its 5k health

1. The game covers a great many kinks & you can easily avoid anthro & trans content. I ain't picky about my smut.
2.

Um actually thats factually wrong cause we got the update first before the steam users so basically you got to pay it on steam to be below the free tier. Also pretty hilarious we also get patches first too.

yeah why would i buy it on steam though? I mainly use steam i am a steam user and well buying on steam just seems like trowing money away. Like doesnt it sound wierd to you that LITERAL PIRATES get the updated version first before the people who actually gave you money for the game? I dont care about your patreon its not the fact that your patrons get the game first bc thats understandable.The problem is that PIRATES get the newest version of the game BEFORE the steam users do, you know your clients? Who bought YOUR product?
Like bro your game is peak im not saying that but PLS give me any benefit steam users get over pirates?

Literally every game in existence is pirated.
All of them.
Indie, AA, triple AAA.
Companies can spend millions trying to fight piracy, usually just buying themselves a bit more time at best.
As an indie studio, we don't have millions to try and fight piracy... And I don't see the point in it anyway, it's a pointless tug of war pirates will win inevitably.
I cannot stop anyone pirating any of our games, I just *hope* that if someone does pirate the game and enjoys it, they will throw a bit of money our way.
Because this game isn't made with hopes and prayers, we have staff to pay, artists, musicians, coders etc... and if people want to see more of the game, it's world and content continued, it has to be supported, same with any game.

I considered this but the tooltip is stuck at "85" no matter the stat difference and I'm very positive that accuracy buffs make a difference. I haven't really gathered data on it, but I miss consistently with AoE attacks when I forget to use the appropriate buff. I'm thinking of repeating the Siege with and without accuracy buffs and gather some data on hit chance.
However I should keep in mind the XCOM phenomenon, where the reality tends to work differently than the expectation when it comes to probabilities, to the point that a full team with 90% hit chance misses all it's shots in a turn.
Yeah the diference between those million companies and you aint in the money, the diference is that when their game reaches pirating sites the game version is either outdated or the steam version has been updated first BEFORE IT WENT TO PIRATES.
BRUH THE PROBLEM IS THAT PIRATES ARE GETTING YOUR GAME LATEST VERSION HERE WHILE THE PEOPLE WHO PAY FOR IT ON STEAM ARE GETTING BEND OVER.
Also you still havent given me a single plus that steam users get over pirates, go on give me on and I WILL buy it on steam.

This is the last time I explain this. If you don't get this, I can't help you.
1.) I cannot stop the game getting pirated - the minute it lands on steam or goes out, it will be pirated. You cannot stop pirates, end of - and we do not model our business plan around pirates like any sane studio.
2.) The reasons we may hand out bug fixes AFTER the thing is leaked, is because the ONLY thing that will happen otherwise, is we will be spammed with false bug reports from bugs we've already solved, which we then have to waste time investigating - and, we run the risk of getting the added bonus of a bunch of negative reviews about how buggy the game is.
It benefits fucking no one, certainly not steam users, for us to cause a bunch of people headaches for maybe a couple of hours tops once the thing has already been stolen and leaked.
Someone will also leak the bugfix anyway, so your entire argument is moot, you're arguing over LITERAL hours of time max.
3.) I've already told you why you should support games you like, you just don't like the answer, that's your problem, but if everyone thought like you, there would be no games. If you can't even envision supporting something simply because you love or even just like the thing, you'll be saying more about your own character than anything I could say.
C'est la vie.
bro again you ran away from my question. WHAT ADVANTAGES DOES A STEAM USER HAS OVER A PIRATE? WHY BUY YOUR GAME ON STEAM WHERE THERES A DELAY OF 1MONTH WHEN THE PIRATES GET THE UPDATED VERSION FIRST?
Also dont know if you know but there are other porn games on steam that also have patreon and can still manage to give the steam buyers or THE PAYING CUSTOMERS the most up to date version of their game without the pirates having it first.

I'll take a stab at it. We all have bills to pay. Game Devs too. No income stream, no game.
I dropped some cheddar on steam for installments of an Early Access porn game.
I knew I was going to have to wait. I have other games to play in the mean time.
My version of the game isn't infested with malware & I'm supporting a studio who is creating a deep sandbox game.
I'm grinding until I get 1,000,000 GP. Just to see what happens.
The combat is fun & the females are fuckable. This is my favorite western erotic game.

I didn't dodge the question. You're just not *getting* it.
"BRO, WHAT ADVANTAGE DOES ANYONE BUYING A GAME HAVE OVER A PIRATE?"
See? Do you not see how stupid it sounds?
You dont have to buy ANY game.
You can pirate them all, you live in 2025 not 1997.
You can ask that question and apply it to ANY game and the answer is ALWAYS going to be you're better off just pirating.
You keep asking me to fucking factor in pirates into our business model. Jesus christ man, it's ridiculous.
Taking some kind of moral grandstand as you literally steal the product because "bruh, what can you offer me that stealing can't?" like you've just quoted Socrates or found something profound.
And not a single development studio I know with multiple staff wouldn't at least give their monthly supporters their updates a little early, that's the bare minimum I would expect as a monthly supporter.

Dude stop being a hypocrite. You are blowing the update thing out of proportion for both this game and the AAA ones (also pirates usually get the patches in a couple days for the AAA titles). Anyone who frequents this forum and has bought the steam version, has done so because he wanted to support the dev and probably plays the patreon version anyway.
Do you fancy yourself a representative of the Parasite Black steam community or something? Because your whole argument is one big strawman.
And if you want a benefit for Steam players, they get new releases automatically without having to frequent shady sites and risk downloading some infected file. Pay up.
