I've already said extensively why I won't accept monetary compensation for this project, and for anyone who wants more details, those reasons are in the FAQ. But the short version is:
  1. I prefer any money goes to Ferdafs, so the main project keeps getting updates, because without it, this version will have to stop.
  2. Once I start taking money, even donations, this is a job, and the expectations of work change from, when I want to do it, to hit the deadlines.
Still, I'm always glad to hear that people have enjoyed the game enough that they want to donate. And as I said above, if you want/can give, subbing to Ferdafs pateron is the best way to support this project.

Honestly man, if you ever decide to actually get into it and start making your own game, for any reason, you already have a fan following.
Not saying you should, but rather you could


I believe in you

I realy wished you+ferdafs combined forces. I really blame unity in all this.

I've talked about this in the FAQ, but the very short version is most likely: no. Pateron won't permit what I'm doing in this version, and I'm not willing to censor it. Nor do I want to put back in a wandering mechanic. As similar as these games are, they are at odds with each other.

r3.8 Progress Report #12 - MAY 19 @ 02:30 UTC (Task List)
I know the wait has been long and hopefully will be worth it. We are almost there (no, not there yet). I've received and implemented the round 1 revisions for the first of the two summer scenes, and have sent a new build back out for second round review (a much faster check).

That means we are down to the last scene! Once I have that, things should move pretty quickly to competition.

Again, I apologize that this is taking so much longer than usual. While Ferdafs side of the update isn't that big in the grand scheme of things, there was outstanding work on some of the other content that needed attention first (that I didn't include in my task list (because I thought it would be negligible but turned out to be more time intensive)). And as I've said before, I also didn't want to force a deadline onto us and crunch to get it done.

It has been... a challenge, for me to not just yolo out what I have, but I think doing it the right way is better than half-assing it (if I'm going to use my ass damnit I want it to be my whole ass!). And it is better with the revisions. From plot cleanup, to better imagery, having a second writer does help make major improvements to the new scenes (and some old ones too).

Still no date, but I do think this weekend is a good possibility to have it ready.

As always, thanks for staying awesome!

I mean, you and Ferdafs do work together on an obscure level. The link to the remake is on the original game and he hasn't asked the mods to remove it so he condones your work at the very least even if he doesn't outright endorse it. Then again I have seen him endorse you by acknowledgment of your work, which is more than most devs allow. He knows you take no monetary benefit from this and you ultimately rely upon his continued development to work your own genius so there is very little reason for him to feel threatened by you.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct! But I think most people mean work directly with each other.

I don't believe Ferdafs actively engages with the f95zone forums (at least, I've never seen any posts from him (anyone feel to correct me if I'm wrong))? I know the link on the other game was requested by kimlana some time ago, and the forum mods added it. And the mods manage the Unity thread, not Ferdafs.

Then again I have seen him endorse you by acknowledgment of your work, which is more than most devs allow. He knows you take no monetary benefit from this and you ultimately rely upon his continued development to work your own genius so there is very little reason for him to feel threatened by you.
I'm honestly still not sure if Ferdafs even knows this project exists? I mean, I would honestly be shocked if he doesn't, but maybe my head has gotten to big? I don't really know the reach of either project outside of the small glimpse I can see from the download numbers from the link on this site (of the few sites that show numbers).

I've seen stuff that I could loosely interpret as him knowing. Things I've read way too much into that is most likely just coincidence. For example, I believe he once said "stay awesome" at the end of one of his posts, which is how I usually sign off on things (but obviously, I don't own the phrase, so, most likely coincidence).

Again, my goal isn't to make him made at me, honestly it is the opposite. If he does ever play this version, I hope he enjoys it. And I hope it helps get more players to experience this game, even if they end up liking the Unity version more. And hopefully it has steered more subs to his pateron, that would be awesome!

I mean, if I heard of it from Fenoxo's Forums I'm sure the other websites have too. I'll be honest, I've NEVER heard of F95 until one of my fans mentioned your work to me because of my interest in Rick and Morty and said the writing was on point in the best remake. They were not wrong!

You were the introduction to FERDAFS for me at least as well as F95. So i can tell you word DOES spread fairly quickly if the people like us travel in the kind of circles others venturing into smut and porn game development participate. Especially when these games are based on very popular shows and video games as parodies.

Oh, Ferdafs for sure knows this exists. It honestly surprised me when I saw it a while back. Someone had commented under a public Patreon post speaking of Beth's pregnancy and he responded that he knows the Ren'Py remake includes that content but his doesn't. I was stunned cause the way he worded it felt like he had played your version, too. That being said, the fact that he even recognized your work instead of ignoring it showed he had a sense of humility that very few long-term devs have. Just another reason for people to support his work.

I'm not sure what post you're talking about since he barely ever makes any public posts but last I spoke to him he said he doesn't know anything about it. Only that there are a bunch of translations and remakes that he hasn't played. Though he did mention he didn't mind them as long as people have fun.
