The give me file should be the same as the other schmp files or something like that. At least that's what I did. I created a txt file with the name and copied the schmp extension from the others and that's it.
So they're making a non-porn game, likely to have something to put on a resume or show as something they worked on since porn games aren't accepted in the job market. They're still working on Predation though, there are still updates for it that get put out, so what exactly is the problem. This Artificial Fright game also seems easier to make compared to Predation, being it's not hand drawn, doesn't need hand drawn animations for all the characters, and worlds are easier to put together in a 3D space especially if the props being used are assets that were already made.We're talking about 6 years of development, let me expect something more than early alpha. Even they spare 16 hours at week, it will make 48x16=768 hours and 32 day on a year. One of them artist and the other one is coder and they both work from home and they're in UK. Like u, I assume they work 6 hours per day with weekend free at home. So it won't be hard to spare 2 hours to game per day and in 6 years u can easily do much more work than current state I mean u can even release a second game. Let's take a look the devolopers. Well with basic research i found 2 members of Horned Lizard Studios. Tib and Sephra. Tib is the coder also from Hungary but live in UK and 28 years old. Sephra is handling with art stuffs, from UK but not much about him/her. According to Tib's steam page he is Full time Game Developer for Horned Lizard Studios, and made Artificial Fright. I just checked what is '' Artificial Fright '' shorty it's a horror game they're working on it and they use their own names, i mean they don't develop under Horned Lizard Studios. I will leave a link if u wanna take a look or support. But shorty they're working on another '' hobby '' even before finish the first one. But at this point i think i judge them wrong i accept that, it's a game will always be free as they say so look at this as scam or milking money is kinda wrong but u must admit they don't actively devopping the predation either. Oh and i don't think they're struggling about cover costs at least not Tib. I mean look at him, he can spare money to his hobbies can go fine places even buy a custom-made mask. He is fineBro is on fire

Making another game also wouldn't be another hobby, it's the same hobby but another project under that hobby. They probably were funded for this game too from their Patreon, which is what the Patreon is for which is funding their projects; it just so happens it was started for Predation, even though it's under their dev team name of Horned Lizard Studios.
I also didn't say they were struggling with money, but that they needed the money to cover costs of living. And to afford a partial fursuit, it's likely they saved the extra money to afford it, maybe from those jobs they have. And if Tib moved to the UK from Hungary, then it's likely that a job was needed in order to gain citizenship. Taxes are also a thing, which the money made through Patreon does get taxed.
Right. Tried putting it in the shampoo folder and nothing unfortunately. Blank text file called gimme.that.
Back to the previous topic, the donation issue is due to a bad decision on the part of the developer, maybe they didn't donate money as he wanted or maybe they did and he saw it was better to delay the game and raise money and when he realized they weren't giving him more, who knows. What if the game were abandoned, mods could be made and improved. If the author is not going to do anything to improve the game, I would recommend that he abandon it and someone else revive it, something like pxlpds or similar games, they were abandoned for reasons of hacking and etc. and mods were created that are much better than the original game.
As long as the author remains active, he still has intellectual property rights since he created and published it.
many rules and hassles to put a download link, I can put a link just like that in my comment and they won't ban me, right?

Not to rain on your parade, but according to Tib on the Predation Discord: "This is my last month at that job, after which I'll dedicate my full time to Predation." This was from January 2023, and I haven't found any more recent updates to this situation, but he hasn't mentioned any job being a blocker to development since then.
As someone who has followed the game's development for a while, I feel it's been made pretty clear by the devlogs and smaller discord updates that both primary developers suffer from mental health issues, resulting in varying degrees of depression, procrastination, lack of motivation, and multiple instances of burnout; any of which may or may not currently be at play.
I would wonder why no one uses mentality to explain slow development progress, but I understand that it's an unsatisfactory answer to either side of the argument. Unsatisfactory for the haters because it's hard to blame someone for mental health problems in this day and age, and because there's no "evil" act being committed in the process. Unsatisfactory for the supporters because, no matter how you look at it, this doesn't spell well for the game and could take many years to remedy, if it is ever remedied.
That being said, change is not impossible; as long as the project is not fully abandoned there's a chance the devs come back from the next burnout with a vengeance. Shortly, the developers will have a chance to prove whether or not anything has changed. Sephra has teased multiple animations and level designs that have yet to make it into the game in recent devlogs, so, theoretically, once Tib figures out AI and combat, development should be much faster at least until a good portion of level 2 is finished.

It's not supposed to have that extension but it may work like that, Its either supposed to be "gimme.that" or "gimme.that.txt" as a blank file.

New version does not use this, It's only needed for legacy. the older versions of the new testbuilds do have the animation but only the subscribestar versions. (which are public now anyway) but the latest testbuilds do not
It ain't working
i put the "gimme.that" text file inside the shampoo folder and it still wont work, tried on versions 2.0.7 and 1.2.2 to no avail
I'm going to download my own file and edit it then so you don't have to create a new file. I say it in a joking and tired way. At most you create 4 empty files, it's not that difficult. 2 text. one in the exe and the other in shampoo file, if that works well. If not, copy the extension of the shampoo files and edit the 2 files with it. It can't not work, I did it in less than 1 minute while I was doing everything and I'm not an expert. In fact it's the first time in years I've done this.
I edited it

, this is the version of the game with the gallery unlocked, I gave it a duration of 7 days. 1.2version
Did they remove beast content? The thumbnail has a dog and the mc but the in game gallery is just anthro
I uploaded my edited version so that the dog is there because no one knows how to do it, take advantage because there are 6 days left and it will be deleted. current versions do not have it.
If my version is not with the dog, I doubt it, just read the messages from before, the previous page is very much there, it says what to do.
So... you walk back and forth around a subway platform for 2min chatting, and done? There's nothing else?
