VN Ren'Py Projekt: Passion [v0.13 BUGFIX] [Classy Lemon]

[RC-1138 Boss]

Games that focus more on being a fuck fest and over used incest tropes tend to attract quite a big crowd. Same can also happen, on a smaller scale, with games featuring transgender characters.

Other than using signatures and actually posting on the thread i don't really see how to advertise the game here on F95. It is not like the forum actually does enough on this regard when they only update those banner links on the main page once in a lifetime.

On a positive note you already passed your previous game thread in number of pages while this game is nowhere near being done. So maybe you are getting a increase on interactions, just not on a more desirable speed.

Genuine question for the AVN expert analysts out there. How do I get people to talk about my game more? Is it because my frequent but rather short updates don't leave much room for discussion or is my game just not engaging enough?

I'll admit that it does get a little discouraging to see any discussion die out in a couple of days so I'd love to hear your thoughts on how to improve it.

Not gonna lie I legitimately feel like most threads here have a lot of discussion at least partly from the devs taking long intervals to update lol

Look at Summertime Saga and Being a DIK thread for reference lol

This isn't to say the devs take too long to update, just ends up that way. Some games also just have a lot of branching choices/complex stories that allow for very convoluted discussions, like Pale Carnations' psychological group, and Eternum's/Ripples' heavy sci fi group (time travel and vr can get way too dank in comparison to interstellar travel)

I'm sure once we see more of this old group that got erased and more about what the soldiers are doing (sorry, I play too many games to remember specific names still remember the major parts though), people will start discussing more. Just takes time for people to gather when story progresses. Getting more indepth backstories of the girls and MC will probably also help, like what we got with the redhead.

Your game has quickly risen to be on the first page of the top rated games on the site, so I wouldn't worry too much. For advertising, more animated signatures can help, that's how I find some games, being on the first page itself can attract a lot of people. Updating the pictures on the original post in this thread, or adding some gifs of ingame sex scenes, or pics of the more emotional scenes, might help as well. These are all just my opinion as an avid casual AVN player of course, so there might be better approaches. I wish you good luck Classy Lemon

Mhh, good question. I discovered this game reading a “most promising games for 2023” list.
I don´t think it´s because of the frequent updates and your game is one of the best on this Site.
I think the game is good enough that it will generate popularity in no time.

Not going to say any game names, but a lot of those discussions revolve around these types of post. Update when, any news, what's the Patreon post, when update, update, some legitimate game conversations for a few posts, update news, update, this dev is milking it, then 2-3 pages about milk, and on, and on. The cycle must continue (Mass Effect).

I only discovered this game recently (admit not played it, might as well wait till the new update though at this point).

I wish this game had an option to play as a Female Protagonist :/

The graphics/renders do look nice (from what I see in the screenshots) but that's about it for me.

This is one of the easiest things to do lol. You are very helpful.

I knew how to do it, but I have a glitch where it just doesn´t load the picture in the Signature menu.
But thx for your dumbass comment anyway

Cool. You must be fun at parties. :/

That would mean doubling the number of renders for the game. So pretty much inviable to do without consuming a lot of time.

Congrats on being a toxic ass from someone asking a question. Good job, good effort, round of applause.

Just replied to a condescending comment.

 

[SerHawkes]

Just replied to a condescending comment.

A condescending comment simply mentioning the idea/suggestion of a female protagonist? Suuuure. That's clearly condescending. A true crime indeed. What nerve did that person have for just suggesting an optional idea to the dev, that likely won't ever happen, but is entirely okay to just say.

It´s because he/she judges the game without even having played it. "The graphics/renders do look nice (from what I see in the screenshots) but that's about it for me." That is condescending and if she played the game she would know that there are strong female characters in the game and wouldn´t prejudge and bitch about it having a male protagonist.

It's not condescending. It's called having an opinion from what they see/play. And I didn't see them bitch about having a male protagonist, simply wishing there was the option for one.

But hey, feel free to do you and make yourself an ass.

I´ll send you some reading glasses and maybe we talk next time.

Sooo you're saying I should start milking this

 

[Classy Lemon]

Games that focus more on being a fuck fest and over used incest tropes tend to attract quite a big crowd. Same can also happen, on a smaller scale, with games featuring transgender characters.

To be fair, no speed would be enough for me. I'd think it was going terrible regardless

Well, you DID say you wanted more activity...

 

[Cabin Fever]

Look at Summertime Saga and Being a DIK thread for reference lol

Sorry to burst your bubble but that really wasn't the case, at least with BADIK. It had more than 20 pages in the thread by the end of the first day and over 75 pages by the end of the first week. It was literally the most highly anticipated new AVN when it first came out. And back then it wasn't long interval between releases. Most well established and popular games now still don't get as much discussion as BADIK did when it first came out just under 4 years ago.
