Also just for reference you can take a look at most of Oni's stand alone art.

Compare the shading, poses, and body proportions.

He knows how to do shading really well. He has no problems with drawing different poses and body shapes consistently. He knows how to drop different art styles and different body types.

Then look at what we got in game. It often times feels like an artist collaboration where a different artist or random intern drew each pose instead of an artist of Oni's caliber drawing everything.

Gwen is the most egregious example of it.

Kind of like this video.

This can all be explained because Oni learned digital art by winging it and tracing over real porn. He didn't go through the grueling learning process most artists do so doing a basic exercise

is completely out of his reach. This is why the girls look like completely different characters whenever they slightly tilt their head one way or the other.
But regardless, I agree with a lot of what you are saying. I feel like the game is spinning its wheels too much and it's reaching the point where it's no longer salvageable.

You know what he wants give him some crumbs

 

[sleepingkirby]

There are always people who are willing to accept slop, then there are always those who are delusional and think things can get better.

You sound like the former.

You know that I have never once stated my preference about Doreen once in that post, right? All I've done is posted what was on Oni's patreon.

Nothing I've written in those posts has expressed my personal opinion. If you have somehow have extrapolated something, that's on you.

 

[sleepingkirby]

There were a ton of complaints about Doreen, and all the other girls.

On Oni's Patreon? Can you send me the links to those complaints?

Nothing I've written in those posts has expressed my personal opinion. If you have somehow have extrapolated something, that's on you.

The post / comment chain you were responding to had nothing to do with Doreen in particular, but was about how bad the poses look, and him retroactively making poses look bad. With Oni intentionally putting out low quality artwork.

So you randomly bringing up and only focusing on Doreen seems like you're either throwing a red herring out here and just completely derailing the conversation with something completely unrelated, or you're just straw manning the actual criticism as us whining about the character design not meeting our preferences (fetishes such as body type) rather than the actual art quality.

Like, if I were a neutral third party, new to both the game and this thread and I read the comments on his patreon and then the things people say here, the conclusion I would have is that the people here are complaining because the game is not *exactly*, down to the pixel, what they're hoping to get.

On Oni's Patreon? Can you send me the links to those complaints?

Not currently a Patreon of Oni, and haven't been for a long time. Not to mention its obvious that you're going to see more complaints, and more candid talk here than you would on Oni's Patreon.

F95 is pirate site, so more people have access to the game and can give more feedback. Not to mention this is a pure adult website where your credit card and personal information isn't linked to it, so people are more willing to talk about stuff without worrying about being affiliated to adult content.

Also people who are Patreons are naturally going to be more inclined to go along with the flow uncritically as a fan than people who aren't just blindly giving him money.

Looking at Kemono Party, Oni barely gets any responses / feedback on his posts on Patreon.

You must be registered to see the links

Rounding up he has about 6,000 Patreons, and on each post there is only about 5-10 people who actually say anything. And looking at random posts, most of them are just all about which girl is next, crash logs, and basic gameplay questions.

So those peeps at Patreon are cool with how fugly Betsy came out, Tree Monster and Rogue's redo? Mfs must be about to collapse from the copium overdose, smh.

LeatherMax's thing about the Tree Monster. That's Doreen.

You're right though that he did talk about Betsy. I didn't check the complaints on her yet.

So you randomly bring up Doreen seems like you're either throwing a red herring out here and just completely derailing the conversation with something completely unrelated, or you're just straw manning the actual criticism as us whining about the character design not meeting our preferences.

Not everything is an attack. Chill. It's just an observation.

Not currently a Patreon of Oni, and haven't been for a long time. Not to mention its obvious that you're going to see more complaints, and more candid talk here than you would on Oni's Patreon.

Yeah, that's fine. My main point to Leathermax was that, yeah, there's more complaints here. But the comments about Doreen, a sore spot for a lot of people here, including Leathermax (hence the "Tree Monster"), on the Pateron has been overwhelmingly positive. A stark contrast to the people here. That's my point.

Also people who are Patreons are naturally going to be more inclined to go along with the flow uncritically as a fan and be less critical than people aren't just fans.

Uhm... citation needed? Because everyone else (econ classes, agile programming, shareholders and investors) will say that people that pay will have more skin in the game. So Oni's patreons should be MORE critical than someone who doesn't pay. Because they have something tangible to lose.

Like, if I had to guess, I would say his patreons are less judgemental because he puts out polls for what this patreons want and responds to their replies. You know, supply and demand.

But you do have a point about me not looking up how people feel about Betsy. I'll go look that up after work today.

This can all be explained because Oni learned digital art by winging it and tracing over real porn. He didn't go through the grueling learning process most artists do so doing a basic exercise

is completely out of his reach.

[has never done that specific drawing exercise, and was taught based on drawing and painting actual people in art school studios, reference images from Google and form my own photography, and Clip Studio Paint's mannequins]

I wouldn't say that specific exercise is within my reach either, but am I still technically more capable and Oni?

No way in hell that I'll start my own porn game. I'll just stick to pin-ups, fan art and shitposting.

If you look at my post which leathermax was responding to. I also mentioned Doreen, but look at what I said and was responding to.

It was about Oni fucking up Rogue's blowjob pose.

Honestly I feel Oni just wants to stop making the game but doesn't want to stop raking in the Patreon money. Which is why he keeps making characters ugly, disfigured, or weirdly out of proportions to slowly turn us off.

So those peeps at Patreon are cool with how fugly Betsy came out, Tree Monster and Rogue's redo? Mfs must be about to collapse from the copium overdose, smh.

And you can see what he said was agreeing with my point. About the art in general.

Also the fact that you are having a hard time finding complaints about the girls proves what leathermax was saying. Which is Oni's Patreons are fine with how bad the art is.

Uhm... citation needed? Because everyone else (econ classes, agile programming, shareholders and investors) will say that people that pay will have more skin in the game. So Oni's patreons should be MORE critical than someone who doesn't pay. Because they have something tangible to lose.

Do you think people who buy Disneyland annual passes, buys exclusively Disney merchandise, and watches everything Disney puts out is going to be more critical of Disney or the people who are actively boycotting Disney and objectively evaluate what they're watching?

Do you think people in a political party or religion group or cult are going to be more critical of their own doctrine or someone who is outside of their group?

Another example is the fact that most tech savy people absolutely despise Apple for anti-consumer practices, charging premium prices for subpar hardware, planned obsoletion, overpriced dongles, lack of ports and io, etc... Then there are people who buy $2,000 Macbooks for nothing but web browsing and a new iPhone every year. Who do you think is going to be more critical of Apple? The person who buys a new iPhone every year or the tech enthusiast who dislikes Apple that buys android phones and builds their own computers?

 

[sleepingkirby]

If you look at my post which leathermax was responding to. I also mentioned Doreen, but look at what I said and was responding to.

It was about Oni fucking up Rogue's blowjob pose.

Yeah, that's fine. That's why I replied to Leathermax and not you.

And you can see what he said was agreeing with my point. About the art in general.

Yeah, that's fine. None of my comments were directed at you or your point.

Also the fact that you are having a hard time finding complaints about the girls proves what leathermax was saying. Which is Oni's Patreons are fine with how bad the art is.

So... lack of complaints about art means the art is bad because the art is bad... Isn't that the begging the question fallacy?

Do you think people who buy Disneyland annual passes, buys exclusively Disney merchandise, and watches everything Disney puts out is going to be more critical of Disney or the people who are actively boycotting Disney and objectively evaluate what they're watching?

Oh GOD YES! My fucking god! I use to live in So Cal. They complained about the annual passes making them wait too long, not exclusive enough not skipping ahead of the DISABLED CHILDREN. Remember that whole scandal? Complaining not being able to get into some clubhouse? And the goods, my god. "You like this tigger shirt? *ick* What a basic bitch!" All because the tigger on it wasn't orange enough or didn't have the pose that they liked. Others complained there wasn't enough piglet merchandise. There's a whole BOOK called "The Te of Piglet", but she wanted more. Always more. On everything. Her shoes, her backpack, her pencils. Like she makes my anime obsession look tiny in comparison. And I heard stuff like that all the time! And those Disney boycotts because they've gone "woke"? Those are all the Disney parents. No one else cared.

Do you think people in a political party or religion group or cult are going to be more critical of their own doctrine or someone who is outside of their group?

Look, I don't want to get political but... have you seen what's going on in the US at the moment?

Another example is the fact that most tech savy people absolutely despise Apple for anti-consumer practices, charging premium prices for subpar hardware, planned obsoletion, overpriced dongles, lack of ports and io, etc.....

People know this. I use to help administer a digital art lab. That lab (and community college) would spend 10~20K every 2~4 quarters on new mac stations and laptops. We used EVERY apple care and advantage and complained about every little bit to get stuff fixed because, well... it was 20 THOUSAND DOLLARS.

So, in short, to all of that. Yes.

But, in the end, if Oni is as money grubbing as people say he is, then wouldn't him doing something and losing paying subscribers mean that the patreons DO have leverage/skin in the game/have the ability to complain and be listened to? Like, my point was literally just "People on patreon seem to be happy about this stuff. A stark contrast to here." And the post after that is, "They were down for it before the character was even out. Cope is usually 'this came out, I don't like it, I guess I'll delude myself into liking it.'." Which requires a past-tense. There was none. that I can see from Oni's patreon. That's all I was saying.

If you want to keep dragging this off topic, that's on you. I've said my bit.

For the record, Oni's art, from when the game only had like 4 characters, looked off to me. As do most games on this site. Including The Null Hypothesis. But it's an indie parody porn game. I don't look watch Batman parody porn and criticize the customes or complain that Harley Quin's bush shouldn't be blonde (according to the episode Harlequinade, she's not a real blonde). You get what you can. If I don't like it enough, I'll mod it. It wouldn't be the first time.

So... lack of complaints about art means the art is bad because the art is bad... Isn't that the begging the question fallacy?

No the lack of complaints means the people who dislike what Oni is doing probably already checked out years ago. You said it yourself, Oni has had roughly the same amount of Patreons ever since you subscribed to him (assuming that you have subscribed to for a meaningfully long amount of time), which means most people aren't a fan of his work if its been 10 years and his Patreon numbers aren't actively growing.

Oh GOD YES! My fucking god! I use to live in So Cal. They complained about the annual passes making them wait too long, not exclusive enough not skipping ahead of the DISABLED CHILDREN. Remember that whole scandal? Complaining not being able to get into some clubhouse? And the goods, my god. "You like this tigger shirt? *ick* What a basic bitch!" All because the tigger on it wasn't orange enough or didn't have the pose that they liked. Others complained there wasn't enough piglet merchandise. There's a whole BOOK called "The Te of Piglet", but she wanted more. Always more. On everything. Her shoes, her backpack, her pencils. Like she makes my anime obsession look tiny in comparison. And I heard stuff like that all the time! And those Disney boycotts because they've gone "woke"? Those are all the Disney parents. No one else cared.

Disney has a lot of more stuff to be boycotted over other than simply just going woke. Actively buying out companies and intellectual properties and destroying them. Actively stealing other peoples work and passing it off as their own. Various exploitative labor practices. Them owning a lot of subsidiaries that do a lot of bad stuff.

Look, I don't want to get political but... have you seen what's going on in the US at the moment?

Yes and have you heard of "Vote blue no matter who", and the fact that we just had dementia Joe as our president for 4 years and the media the entire Democratic party pretending he didn't have dementia until August of 2024.

Even after losing, they're claiming that they had messaging problem, rather than ideological / principle problem.

People know this. I use to help administer a digital art lab. That lab (and community college) would spend 10~20K every 2~4 quarters on new mac stations and laptops. We used EVERY apple care and advantage and complained about every little bit to get stuff fixed because, well... it was 20 THOUSAND DOLLARS.

So, in short, to all of that. Yes.

Not sure if are agreeing with me here or disagreeing with me.

If you saying you complained a lot therefore you were more critical of Apple, than a person who actively despise Apple and choses to put their money where their mouth is by not giving them money. Then I think we disagree.

 

[sleepingkirby]

No the lack of complaints means the people who dislike what Oni is doing probably already checked out years ago. You said it yourself, Oni has had roughly the same amount of Patreons ever since you subscribed to him (assuming that you have subscribed to for a meaningfully long amount of time), which means most people aren't a fan of his work if its been 10 years and his Patreon numbers aren't actively growing.

I'm lost. How is someone maintaining the same level of subscribers for 10 YEARS means that his art has gotten worse? Like his numbers didn't even drop during the pandemic. Like, are you expecting infinite growth forever? Why is Oni not having infinite growth mean his subscribers checked out? I mean, his levels didn't drop DURING THE PANDEMIC. If there was a time for checked out people to cut costs, it was then. Not only that, have you seen the number of people that voted in the polls? That's around 50% of his paid members.

Like you say his numbers aren't raising because people who didn't like his work already checked out. You can literally say that if he was gaining members. Watch
"Yeah, but he's not getting Vampire Killer numbers and he's been around for 10 years. That means that the people that don't like his stuff already checked out."
Even if he's losing subscribers, you can make that statement.
"See? He's losing subscribers. If he hadn't made all the early adopters checkout, he'd still be able to maintain his income."

So, if he had complaints, you'd say people hate his stuff. If he had no complaints, you'd say people have checked out. If he's getting praise (which he is. I've posted them), you'd still say people have checked out. With your statement and logic, there's no way he's NOT doing bad.

Hence why I asked... isn't this a begging the question fallacy?



Not responding to the rest as its off topic.

 

[aesir150]

Just saw this part that you added on after I posted my response.

But, in the end, if Oni is as money grubbing as people say he is, then wouldn't him doing something and losing paying subscribers mean that the patreons DO have leverage/skin in the game/have the ability to complain and be listened to? Like, my point was literally just "People on patreon seem to be happy about this stuff. A stark contrast to here." And the post after that is, "They were down for it before the character was even out. Cope is usually 'this came out, I don't like it, I guess I'll delude myself into liking it.'." Which requires a past-tense. There was none. that I can see from Oni's patreon. That's all I was saying.

Point is he is just milking it at this point, as long as he puts minimum effort people are still going to keep being his patreon.

If anything on this site. You can go look at all the abandoned games, or games that had rapid develop for the like first year where quality updates were coming out like every month, then suddenly slowing down to like one update once every quarter or 6 months still have an insane amount of Patreons regardless of any progress being made.

Also I am pretty sure people aren't just Oni's Patreon for Rogue Like. Doesn't he also release his stand alone artwork on Patreon?

For the record, Oni's art, from when the game only had like 4 characters, looked off to me. As do most games on this site. Including The Null Hypothesis. But it's an indie parody porn game. I don't look watch Batman parody porn and criticize the customes or complain that Harley Quin's bush shouldn't be blonde (according to the episode Harlequinade, she's not a real blonde). You get what you can. If I don't like it enough, I'll mod it. It wouldn't be the first time.

I've been here (as in following the game not F95) since the start when the game was just Rogue, and not all of Rogues animations were even in yet. And the game was on Newgrounds.

I think most people were excite because Oni actually has good art, and he did a job of being consistent with Rogue. And his early stuff with Kitty was good minus the weird looking blowjob pose. Then when he added Emma post people were already not happy with Oni for various reason... like the usual they wanted this girl instead of that girl. But a lot of people pointed out that Emma took a long time to implement and was mostly a copy and paste of Kitty. Add in Oni's multiple rewrites of the game from the ground up which killed mods, and lack of any increase in production despite the state purpose of rewriting the game was to increase efficiency and less bugs.

Most the people responding to this thread seem to be in the "invested to much time on this game, so might as well stick around to see if it gets better", or the roulette club where they just take whatever they can get assuming that Oni doesn't massively screw it up.

 

[sleepingkirby]

You said it yourself, Oni has had roughly the same amount of Patreons ever since you subscribed to him (assuming that you have subscribed to for a meaningfully long amount of time), which means most people aren't a fan of his work if its been 10 years and his Patreon numbers aren't actively growing.

So, uhmm... I got curious. I've only been subbed to his patreon for the last... I think 6 months so I don't have a very long view? So your statement is

which means most people aren't a fan of his work if its been 10 years and his Patreon numbers aren't actively growing.

Right? Right? So he's bad because his subscribers haven't grown, right?

Oh look. His subscribers have grown from this time last year.


So yeah... Kinda blows your whole argument out of the water, doesn't it? (I'm expecting an "Well no. Because if you look at <insert something else that amounts to a moving the goal post fallacy here>") Also kinda proves that your statement was a begging the question fallacy, doesn't it?

But yeah. QED my dude. Capitalism at work. I'm done here. You have a nice life.

 

[aesir150]

I'm lost. How is someone maintaining the same level of subscribers for 10 YEARS means that his art has gotten worse? Like his numbers didn't even drop during the pandemic. Like, are you expecting infinite growth forever? Why is Oni not having infinite growth mean his subscribers checked out? I mean, his levels didn't drop DURING THE PANDEMIC. If there was a time for checked out people to cut costs, it was then. Not only that, have you seen the number of people that voted in the polls? That's around 50% of his paid members.

My answer is people subscribe to him because he release stand alone art commissions and not just Rogue Like. If Rogue Like was his only thing I am sure he would be losing subscribers. Not to mention because we can't see how much he is earning we don't know how happy his subscribers are.

They also stick around in hopes of getting one of the girls they like and hopes he doesn't fuck her up beyond recognition.

Also just because someone dislikes some of the stuff he releases doesn't mean all of it is bad.

For instance I absolutely dislike Kitty's blow job animation, cause her head is just weird, but all her other poses a great. Oni's Emma is extremely hot, but doesn't mean I don't dislike her doggy position because she looks like a totally different person even though it is still extremely hot, nor does it mean I like her cowgirl positions because of the bad proportions and perspective. I think Oni's Laura and Rogue is extremely hot and all their artwork is good in terms of consistency and proportions, doesn't mean I won't complain about how janky their animations are since he just uses they standing idle poses and moves them up and down for some of the posses. Jubilee for the most part is well proportioned and her animations are decent, but doesn't change the fact that Oni does a horrible job shading her, and her feet covering the view of her anus and pussy during sex has to be an intentional F U to the players because there is no way he doesn't know that would annoy the players.

Point is there is lots to criticize even if you like some of his stuff.

Just like most people will criticize Youtube for being awful, dysfunctional search that shows you completely irrelevant stuff, shadow banning, content suppression, promoting scams and propaganda, DCMA abuse, rabbit hole recommendations, constant UI changes, removing of quality of life features, etc... and yet it is still the most used video hosting platform and growing.

Why? Because there is nothing like Youtube out there. Nothing can compete with Youtube because other companies can't afford to roll out servers nodes across the globe, storage, and pay for the bandwidth costs like Youtube because they don't have another company like Google subsidizing their freemium model. Same with Twitch and Amazon. Both Youtube and Twitch lose huge amounts of money each year, but are only around because Google and Amazon use them as a loss leader.

Oni is in a kind of similar position where his game is the only one that really gives you lots of choices during sex, while having semi-dynamic animations, and not soul sucking amount of grind / reading. While being partial subsidized by his art commissions.

I don't expect infinite growth, but if your numbers are stagnate for 10 years, it obviously doesn't mean people are particularly happy with what you're doing does it? And even if people aren't happy with what you're doing doesn't mean your numbers are always going to drop like the Youtube example where you're the only one filling a very particular niche.

The idea that if people are unhappy will mean that he would be losing Patreons, while people being happy with his work would mean he would be gaining Patreon members is a false dichotomy.

So, if he had complaints, you'd say people hate his stuff. If he had no complaints, you'd say people have checked out. If he's getting praise (which he is. I've posted them), you'd still say people have checked out. With your statement and logic, there's no way he's NOT doing bad.

I already explained it to you. In a previous post. Dude has 6,000 patreons, he gets only about 10 people who ever says anything on each post. Almost none of it is meaningful critique or praise. Most of the responses are just reporting crashes, asking for next character, or basic game questions.

Patreon doesn't seem to be a place where people actively engages with him or discuss what is going on with game. Possibly maybe because he has a discord or he gets most of his feedback on some other forum board. Add that in with the social aspect of each platform, like how I compared Patreon and F95.

People can also greatly dislike something and it isn't reflected everywhere. For instance more people are likely to complain on yelp about something than directly on some restaurant's facebook page.

So you asking for examples about people not being happy about Doreen on Patreon only seems to be just cherry picking.

 

[newspaperkind69]

Except for the moments when I want story and character arcs with my naked cartoon pussy.

i like RLE story too im jst saying dont think too deeply abut details like dat bcoz im sure oni jst didnt lol

 

[salscou]

question, if our character has the ability to even block out Prof. X's mind reading. how the fuck did the sentinel even detect them? i mean youd think itd extend to fucking with sentinel scanning.

The Sentinels track the X-gene, thats what makes a mutant a mutant in Marvel comics, and while Zero can block powers with contact and powers being used on him, he cant block out Cerebro.

So yeah... Kinda blows your whole argument out of the water, doesn't it? (I'm expecting an "Well no. Because if you look at <insert something else that amounts to a moving the goal post fallacy here>") Also kinda proves that your statement was a begging the question fallacy, doesn't it?

But yeah. QED my dude. Capitalism at work. I'm done here. You have a nice life.

My statement was under the assumption of what you said was true, that his Patreon numbers have stayed the same and under a second assumption that you have been subscribed for a long period of time. Which you just proved the first half wasn't true.

So it not much of a gotcha moment when you present something that isn't true, and some else responds base on the wrong information that you provide them.

Unless I am misunderstanding the begging the question fallacy, which I understand to means continuing to insist something is true or a valid point even after being presented with valid evidence or an augment otherwise.

Then no its not begging the question because you never presented anything contradictory to the statement I made was saying until this post.

I think the correct fallacy here is either a hasty generalization or anecdotal fallacy, cause of lack of verification on my part to see what the Patreon numbers were over time and simply taking your word for it that it had stayed the same for the entire time. Also the second assumption is also.

Edit: Seems like I was confusing begging the question with proof by assertion fallacy.

Also rereading when you first asked if I was begging the question. The answer is no I was not because what you asked was a completely non sequitor what was said.

Some how you interpreted this

Also the fact that you are having a hard time finding complaints about the girls proves what leathermax was saying. Which is Oni's Patreons are fine with how bad the art is.

Into this.

So... lack of complaints about art means the art is bad because the art is bad... Isn't that the begging the question fallacy?

The conclusion was that Yes Oni's Patreons are fine with the bad art in the game.

The conclusion wasn't just the art was bad. The part that was disputed is whether or not the Patreons are okay with the art being bad.

The first premise of the statement was that the art is bad for all the previous stated reasons (proportions and inconsistency which I think I did an adequate job of laying laid out in this post).

The second premise which is that Oni has Patreons that don't complain much on Patreon, which you laid out.

The third premise is that he has a net gain of Patreons. As in he has any Patreons at all.

Lastly this is all assuming people aren't becoming his Patreons for some other reason other than just the game.

So no its not begging the question because the conclusion is not 1 premise proving itself, but rather a conclusion drawn from 3 premises.
