Ren'Py Refuge of Embers [v0.16a] [Escape Sauce]

[CHAD-MAN]

Multiple devs I support, using Google Analytics with their Patreon page, got a better idea of where the people willing to support are coming from.

People coming from F95 is at a staggering low percentage. Think something close to 1% or less (can't remember the exact number on top of my head).

Most people who are gonna support a dev for real (and not just using their words on a forum which is cheap and doesn't engage most) come from Discord, and MASSIVELY from Steam when there's an early release.

F95 is mostly useful to keep track of the latest release, but as a dev if you're expecting to make it by getting more patrons from here, you're in for a world of (slow) agony. Best you can do is having people being polite and not acting like entitled rude little brats on your thread.

Yeah, no. I'm too lazy to go facts hunting but I can smell your bullshit from miles away.

We'd most likely have those kinds of scenes involve side characters instead of main characters, but since some of those side characters might have have optional sex scenes with the MC in other routes we decided to make it a toggleable option. Again, we'd only have scenes like that in routes where the MC very clearly isn't pursuing the character involved. We're not including NTR content.

As a non hardcore ntr disliker I can tell you there's a fine line for the majority and giving as an example School Days, where although some routes involved the MC not pursuing said heroine, the fact they were still interested in the MC and got blackmailed/forced/coerced or whatever into the friend's arms left a very bad taste. Thus, learn from the majour outrages that happened in other games when something like that was included so you don't make the same mistake (there's always gonna be some pushback, but vocal minority vs silent majourity can be a hard hit to a game or circle's popularity)

My only one advice to the dev : do what you wanna. Don't listen to the endlessly complaining voices here or there. It never stops and you will never satisfy everyone. From either sides of the fence.

 

[BlasKyau]

We're not 100% sure yet. If any main characters do appear in those scenes, it would only happen long after the MC clearly followed a different path. For example if you're on the Eryn route and you clearly choose that you're not pursuing Raisa or the harem route there could be a side scene with her and another character.

Personally I'm only interested in the harem route.

You can avoid that and most other content through dialogue choices or just toggling it off in the options.

I just started the game, I have disabled BDSM, NPC on NPC, female on female and male on male. I don't know if with this the femdom will be deactivated.

Uh is it just me or were scenes removed in the patreon version?

No but we moved some into specific routes on different days to flow better.

Game's like 20 minutes long. Just enable skip unseen text and skip through until what you want to see

Hey this game looks nice! it has just a few events but is getting there... wait what? 2 years of development?

IMO it's mostly due to motivation for making a porn game evaporating after jerking off. So, for a normal game project, you get like 16 hours a day possible for working on it, and for adult game, it's like what, hour a day? What's the statistics here

 

[Alfius]

I just played the game, and I must say that I'm pretty impressed!

The game is a bit on the short side, so I will hold on before giving it a rating, but it will surely be 5 stars when it eventually comes.

Love the MC, love the characters, love the art, but the story is just too short to properly evaluate.

I can see that a lot of work has been put into making the characters and facial expressions. I'm hoping the amount of work needed for this game, does not end up being its downfall.

All the best to the dev!
The project has a lot of potential. I'm definitely rooting for it.

Not sure where the pregnancy tag came from. Last time I played this it had that tag, but the game didn't even step out of the prologue and get as far as letting you kiss someone.

...is this implying ero game devs masturbate profusely without stopping as they work on their games?

In the game you can preview all the girls in a pregnant state.
So no, not part of the story, but yes pregnant girls in the game... so technically....

Tag is in for the gallery sprites but also this story scene:

 

[Deleted member 3835560]

"Enable pregnancy to see true ending"

Well I did enjoy the story when I first played it, maybe about a year ago, so I can work with this.

Nah, I was saying that they stop working once they release the pressure

 

[AJBit]

Why does the sister have cat ears now?

 

[Minolin]

Is someone going to post 0.10? I don't much care what the dev thinks.

 

[Lightwind21]

the art style is insanely good.
there is no sound fx or BGM which kinda makes it a bit dull.


i wish there was way more content, right now there is almost nothing (except intro scene.)
does anyone know a game with similar art style ? preferably with some content.
