OK, time to wait for the new update.

I was wondering why you removed Olivia's scenes in the Steam version?
Thank you for support. Also I would appreciate it if you leave a review. The first reviews are very important
About Olivia, I'm going to redo the scene of how they met. I didn't like the way it looks. She will play a role in the plot, so she will appear in future releases.

How many reviews does a Steam game need to get a score (positive/negative)? The game already has an excellent review made by flavio. I'm a terrible writer but still posted a review to help with the game's visibility. My embarrassing review could probably lose you customers. :ROFLMAO:

Thanks :)
If I know correctly, then 10 reviews in general allow the game to appear on the main page

So, for the first time I got acquainted with this game at the beginning of this year. If I'm not mistaken, it was version 0.6

Some things, and especially Chloe's path, as well as herself, made a strong indelible impression on me. It really took your breath away and made you look forward to the next updates.

If you translate my emotions into monetary terms, this resulted in my support at the maximum levels of more than $ 100.

I was also pleased that the developer is really active here. And reading his early posts, I was amused by one message in which, apart from the naivety and excessive self-confidence of the developer, there was nothing wrong. I haven't touched on this topic before,but this moment has arrived.

So, here is this comment from January 7, 2023:
Thank you for the detailed feedback. About the MILF.
It will be 100%. But I don't want to do it so that in the second update the MC will sleep with all the girls. But I will not pull for 2-3 years, as in some games (Dual Family)
As Makima said
"When it comes to sex, the better you understand the other person, the better it feels."


As for the latest current update, it was pretty good, except that it was originally supposed to be Chloe's second date.

What the next update will be and when it will be (probably next year) \ is unknown, since all the information is easier to find out here than on Patreon, SS, or the closed Discord server. Seriously, I didn't even know that the author would release the game on Steam in different languages. As a result, the translator in my language wrote to the author here and VOILA! Yes, there is a commercial translation of it, but some of the wording in its translation is incorrect.



I wonder what guided Passion Portal when it put up such a price for a game on Steam? No, seriously, the price of the First Season of FreshWomen without a discount is lower than the cost of Reclaiming the Lost with a discount! Inexplicably, but a fact.



Well, I want to end with the fact that after 22.5 months after the release, the game has not reached even half of the level of plot. There is nothing to say about sexual content. Better reread the quote from two years ago above in this post. It was probably written by some dreamer.



P. S.
Oh yes, reviews. Well, they should all be of the same type: beautiful and inviting, but nothing more. Both
storytelling and sexual.

All questions come down to finances. Creating quality sex scenes costs money. Of course, you can just make still frames, but I always wanted good animation. This is why the decision was made to release a Steam version.
As for the price, I chose a similar price to other games that are being released. I might set the price slightly lower at $11.9 instead of $12.9, but if I'm not mistaken, Fresh Women is priced at $15, not cheaper than my game. And that’s a major game that can manipulate prices as they see fit to attract more players. Meanwhile, a price of $11.9–$12.9 is pretty much the standard price for most games released there in early access.

I feel like you are contradicting yourself a bit here.

In the first sentence, you think/thought it worth it do support this game for more than $100.
In the second sentence, you wonder if the game is worth $12 on Steam.

The progress, or perceived lack thereof, is not so important in that regard: the mechanism is the same. The player gives money to the dev to create the game. It's up to the player to decide if it's worth it or not.

The rules of marketing dictate however that price depends on the venue: a glass of wine in a good restaurant will cost more than the whole bottle of the same wine in the supermarket. Patreon to a large part leaves it up to the developer and the player how much they want to support for (in a higher or a lower tier for example). On Steam that mechanism works differently. I suppose it's a matter of volume (Steam) vs. amount (Patreon). Several of the higher quality devs seem to be moving to Steam so it must be worth it.

Either way, it's not up to us to question a devs business model. Sure you can complain about updates which are always too small, too infrequent and/or don't contain the content you want. I have occassionally complained as well about certain games. But all we can do is tell the dev and withdraw our support, if we think it's not worth supporting anymore, provided we were supporting it in the first place.

Dude, what are you doing with your Steam strategy? Not only did you increased the discount but also lowered the base price in less than 24 hours. You are going to piss off your early customers. I know you're trying to maximize your sales but this is not the way to do it. You're daring people to do refunds.

There is a difference of 1 dollars. It's not such a terrible difference to anger someone. And I changed the price a long time ago Not to say that a lot of people bought it at an inflated price of $ 1

Thank you for the support.
It's already been mentioned above how I wrote that I wouldn't take too long to make the game, but in fact, two years have passed. It's actually funny, but there were reasons for that. I really enjoy making the game, and I spent every free minute on development, but I started working on the game full-time somewhere around March, I think.
And my goal is to finish the game by the end of 2025. But to finish the main part of the stories; after that, I will release updates, but most likely they will be just additions.
I have already replied somewhere in steam reviews that, in my mind, the game is divided into two stages: when we get to know the characters, and when the action begins, so next year can be considered the year of action.
I have said somewhere here in the comments at the beginning of the journey, "As Makima said, 'When it comes to sex, the better you understand the other person, the better it feels.'"And I think we already know the characters quite well. ;)


And I would be very grateful if you left a review on Steam.

if you only recently (March) been able to work full time on your project that's all i need to know because i understand completely (how to manage working part time on side projects while working full time myself) and that answer my question, and the comparisons i made are unfair since those devs been working "full time" for years

you seem like an honest dev and if your road map end somewhere by the end of next year then i say that's excellent news and good luck continue working without any hiccups
also +1 from me to Radnos Salazar suggestion to include pregnancy content in the future, please

as for leaving a review since i'm limited on free time i only manage to squeeze couple of hours (if any) every other day to view AVNs that only include my fav tags NTR or pregnancy, but i buy most of 3dcg AVNs on steam regardless, so not that you need my review since you're doing well yourself on steam and it took you short time for a new dev to exit "Steam is learning about this game" stage and already your AVN is counted towards game collector (knock on wood, and onto greater success), but i promise once i try it for the first time on steam i'll leave a review
