Piece of shit Dev, piece of shit game.
This "Game" is nothing more then a scam.
Don't waste your time, or money.

I'm just curious about how much data this dev is collecting and what he does with it. You obviously have to connect to a server of his choice to get access to his content, which is suspect to say the least for a "game" of this category.
Does he sell the data to third parties? Is it secure? Will he (or some hacker that got through his 4 bit encryption) use it for blackmail purposes? These are questions we should ask ourselves when people want us to connect to their servers to get our rocks off.

Don't like it, don't download it, don't spend time on the post. I can understand his point of view, pirating is nice for us, but it's not very good for the people making the game is it? Be reasonable towards his decision, even if you hate the paywall.
I personally will wait until more content is released towards the free public,and that's all there is to it...

I know that a lot of people have complained about the paywall, and I myself have made a couple of comments on it to point out the problems. But now that the dev has finally stated that the paywall will not be removed, I think that all of us should just drop it and let what happens to the game happen.
The time for constantly bitching about it, as some have done, has passed. The game is not going to be changed, so everyone should just move on to another game and let the subject go.
It's expected that other people will make those very same comments as they too discover the game and realize that very same problem. So there is really no need for those who have already made those comments to repeat them.
It's his game, his financial risk and his decision...

A lot of devs that made it because of piracy would like a word with you for your "it's not very good for the people making the game is it ?"
For AAA games I would agree but for something like porn games where you can't really market your game piracy is a marketing choice, why do you think so many devs are releasing their games here ?
This dev wants the free marketing but without the piracy by releasing a game that can't be pirated on a piracy forum which is disingenuous to f95 community and every dev that release their games for free here.

People could pirate it if they wanted too. But likely there is not enough content to make it worthwhile, or they don't like what they saw.
To pirate it you need access to all of the data, which means paying one time to the dev so you can get access. A skilled hacker can save the files that were downloaded during game play and then change a few parameters in the game, so that instead of connecting to the server to get the content, it instead goes to a folder on your computer to get it.

Do you know how antivirus programs work?) Since the application is server-based and sends requests to the SERVER, which of the antiviruses decided that it was a trojan. As you can see, it’s worth including the script language interpreter in the executable file, as soon as you get “Trojan. General ”,“ Suspicious ”,“ PHP ”,“ HackTool ”and so on. If you don’t understand, do a manual analysis in the disassembler) 1 out of 70 antiviruses just decided that some piece of code is similar to some kind of virus and developers often come across this.
Sorry, it turned out rough, thanks for writing here, maybe now people will know this thanks to you
What I wrote?) One paid for patrons, one free for everyone. What is unfair here?
No need to be patronising dude. I posted that information because I wanted to know more about it. Not saying that this was not a false positive. Thanks you for your explaination.
edit : I did not see your next message. No problem
Didn't like what I saw in this game to be honest. I think some stuff like the hair looks very strange and inconsistent art styles.

I am not so sure your assertion holds water. Many of the top projects are bringing in $2,000-$12,000 per month on Patreon despite the fact they are all available here, in their entirety. There simply is no validity to the arguments that games being posted here diminishes the revenue over-all, because they find exposure to a vastly larger audience of potential patrons than they would otherwise and there are always plenty of people that happy to support QUALITY projects. Clearly, making no money has far more to do with a lack of quality or, broad enough appeal, than it does with availability.
Paywalls simply never work - Any measured comparison of the revenue streams bares that conclusion.
Having said that, however, I do agree with your thesis even though the assertion used to validate said thesis is flawed. Complaining about such things is pointless, and people should simply ignore something if it does not, for any reason, appeal to them.
Ugh, I'm not an active paying Patreon and can still access the content. All checks are performed on the client side. Grab any Unity engine cheat tool, for example Cheat Engine and patch all access checks. Voila, content can be downloaded and played. But it's not worth it. The style is very inconsistent, the textures low and most of the stuff is not completed. Especially the menu in some scenes like the swimming pool with the milk machine. You can customize the character but only in a very simple way like switching horns on/off.
I would've recommended the developer of this game to focus on quality rather than quantity first. Start with one animal type. Make it perfect and then move on with another scene. But since i'm just a pirate and not an active paying Patreon I just move on to the next game, not a big deal.

I agree, you put a paywall in front of content you're not confident enough with to expect donation in return. So you just take the money before showing the product.
Or else,
Because you know very well you and your project are loose ends and you try to get as much money as possible before it's to much obvious.
