Nothing is "exclusive". Silver patrons only have early access. It's not exclusive to them.

I said this specifically "We already added some of them in game for free. All of them will be added eventually. We're just giving silver patrons early access to them. Nothing is completely locked in game anymore."
yeah ok maybe is ok for you....
but some people don't like the idea of the girl of the month....

this month we have xxxx.........oooook
the next month..............sorry the old girl have to do other thing in life so we give you this girl instead.....

HEY where we are at? we are not in real life.....!!!
people expect linear progressive cumulative update not something you can go ON and OFF as you please!!!!
or they will be discontented/pissed/displeased........

also i feel you are hiding something wen you said this "All of them will be added eventually"
this mean you are near the technical limitation of the current engine build/exe.....
you can only add tot number of things or the game will break.....this is the ONLY explaination

there is no shame in this....!!!!!
why this is a problem for you wen you just can split the game in part1 e part 2 like others developer do in the past.....

Right now we are working on a major update to the game and we couldn't add the remaining previous TTGCs on public build yet. We are a weak enemy man. Cut us some slack lol. You will get a build with all unlockable TTGCs but not right now.
so i was right......ok bro take care and good luck for that just wanted to know that this situation is just temporary !!!

TTGCs is not exactly RC content. I consider it as a filler for the most part while Me and PCG are "cooking" the actual RC content. It's not easy to "cook" so it takes a lot of effort and time. We couldn't afford to appear inactive while we're still "cooking" otherwise people think project is dead and they all go away. Infact it happened a lot of times in the past and I almost ditched this project as many times as you can imagine. Me and PCG are just passionate enough to continue developing this game despite all the the monstrocity that are still blocking our path. So I added TTGC to to fill a void. We had no choice, either we add it or call it quits. We chose the former.

I guess I made wrong choices here and there but I believe we made the RC experience a lot better now. We are fixing problems one at a time.

And for that, I am greatly thankful to all the patrons who kept us going. Their patience and support would have been in vain if we quit this.

We've tightened up things at our early days of development. It would not had survived as it was back then if I give everything away for free. I understand the internet enough that people will not give money unless you ask for it. Most people treat content like it's radio and television (which is funded by propagandist and big corporations). Indies like us don't have those deep pocketed backers. It's a matter of survival. So if we want exist, we either have to peddle our stuff or just do it out of passion. The latter requires being loaded and able to fund their projects by themselves, and I happen to be not one of those people. Compared to what used to be, RC is more generous now.

As for the price, mine is really cheap considering it's animated, not just a sequence of pngs. I've seen a lot of creators out there whose prices are too damn high for very less content. Some are even inactive for few months and come up with "meh" content. It's these kind of content creators that makes us look bad. Therefore "bad impression", so we need to push back. Why is it grimy to earn money from honest work? We work hard to create content, then all of a sudden if we earn some money from it we are demonized. I'm not guilty of the money, I give away what I'm willing to give away so it's only fair I also gain a little bit.

If I was a consumer who understood what the content's worth, hell yeah sign me up! It's a game with great art and awesomely animated hentai scenes, and developer is active, and it's really cheap ?! I will certainly support that creator as long as I have the means if I get exposed to it .

So everyone! support my work and be my minion :D
I understand why you made the design choices you did, and I'm not faulting you on it. Trust me, you're not the only developer to do it and I never said it was a bad philosophy to apply; I just said it was a little grimy.

The point I was trying to make originally was that if people enjoy your game (which CLEARLY many people do), they will support you, regardless of whatever benefits you give them. Your game is AMAZING. You've clearly built up a world with characters, story development, and amazingly animated H-Scenes. Because of how good it is, you don't need to add paywalls for in-game content, ESPECIALLY content that is paid monthly.
Look at a game developer like Taifun Riders. They made Space Paws (which is one of the most revered free indie dating sims) and are currently working on Shuggerlain, which plans to be even bigger. These guys spend MONTHS before releasing updates, but still manage to uphold a huge amount of Patrons. They use no form of in-game paywalls and are doing just fine living off of it. I mean, fuck it, copy their model or something similar, or do some research on other developers. There are many other devs whos games are much more inferior to yours in terms of quality, but are doing extremely well.

I truly understand what you mean when you say you have to peddle your stuff. It's rough in this industry, especially if you want to make a living. But I ultimately think you underestimated your own talent. You have a knack for this and are very good at it, there's no need to peddle your stuff out when the content you release is of this quality. You're hurting your own reputation when putting things like paywalls in your game, and you could have even MORE people support you. Instead of someone playing the game and saying "dude, I have to pay for some of this content? Fuck that", you create a healthier mindset when the game is JUST that... a normal game.

Yeah, it's a gamble, but... my brother in christ, you picked this field of work.

Actually the route you were pointing is what I did earlier. RC is suppose to be free. We gambled and it didn't work. I over estimated my talent and that was a mistake. As much I want to make RC free, RNG roll is a bitch :D. Not every one has a good roll. If what you're saying is true then I should had gained more support much earlier when it was totally free and I wouldn't have to be kinda grimy and apply these measures on game. Thing is, healthy mindset doesn't always pay content creator's needs on demand. It doesn't guarantee anything. I have to be real about it.

But we're slowly heading on the direction you're pointing.

Ahh I see. Well, such is the life of a content creator in this field of work. Some times, things just don’t work out. I understand the grind regardless.

glad to hear that you’re trying to move in a better direction though! Still always happy to see progress no matter what!

I think current paywalling is pretty standard as it goes, only cheats and exclusive toro guest (with older ver getting port to game). Some stuff is unlocked from start (i hope this is not a bug). but hey, at least dev isnt wasting time trying to implement anti piracy which only to get cracked within minutes.

I'd also like to know the answer to the above question. I've done the bio-pack sidequest and all of the main quests in the current public version (4.18). I already found two extra blank packs and the printer menu is just blank whenever I try. Is there some other requirement to use them I don't know about, or did I just waste my time?

Edit: Never mind. Turns out my RNG was just so bad that I kept finding blank ones and didn't realize you had to find specific ones for the characters. I did waste my time though as I fought my way to max level without finding a single one of the only pack I was interested in. It was like worse gacha. At least I'll be able to plow through future updates if I ever decide to play another one.

Here's 4.20 Silver





I waited a month for a public update that was supposed to be out in a week. I got annoyed and did the totally rational thing, giving them my money anyway. I'm not renewing the pledge, so if you don't see me again in a month then this was all I got.

Can you share the download link for the Android version?
