Oh, shit, thanks. It'll be fixed in the next version (free and patron; I do my best not to lock bugfixes behind the paywall, even for a limited time).that being said i found a bug.
I'm still figuring out what I can realistically offer and that folks would be interested in. If anyone has a non-trolly suggestion for something I should include, let me know and I'll think about whether it's feasible.Are you going to add more stuff to the patreon tiers or is whats offered it?
I'm actually genuinely confused about what you're going for, here. What does "good marketing" look like, in this industry? What should he be doing at this point in his career? If it was your game, and you were this far along when the budget ran out and you needed to start accepting payment, what would your plan be?It wasn't about me getting the release (I mean, this forum is literally there to sidestep that problem and it's in the OP), it was about him shutting himself off from most of his audience. That's just terrible marketing.
Build as much notoriety as possible by using any possible avenue, including patreon.I'm actually genuinely confused about what you're going for, here.

Hmmm. Okay. This is good advice and it's my first time hearing it.It's a porngame that doesn't serve a niche fetish audience, doesn't have impressive art or gameplay and doesn't have incentives for people to pay him large amounts of money, so he can't expect a high return from few people.
Simply put, he's using a sniper rifle while he should be using a shotgun.
Advertise wherever he can, cooperate with as many other creators as he can (ask for shout-outs, offer help or small projects together (works a lot better as an artist since you can then just make a promo-pic with relevant characters from both projects), get on relevant platforms (f95zone, reddit, 4/8chan) etc.Hmmm. Okay. This is good advice and it's my first time hearing it.
So what does the shotgun approach actually look like? He's already doing the thing of putting out old versions of the game for free on itch.io, and he even replied to this thread in a way that seems reasonably chill. So what else should he be doing, on top of that, to try and cast a wider net?
not until people stop supporting half assed projects. there's no passion anymore, it's just "how little can i do to get people to pay me for doing the bare minimum each month?"When will creators finally learn that you need to build up a bit of a community and notoriety before you shut off your content behind a paywall? The guy has 2 patreons, making the project patrons-only and pretty much all of his posts patrons-only just removes 90% of the people who could ever hear from him.
It Is Really weird. But I am REALLY Enjoying This Game/Story.View attachment 595878Thread Updated: 2020-03-27
Overview:
In Barrowport, a town of dark mysteries, the young woman said, "I want you to ruin me."
As a professor of antiquities, you assumed your new position would involve investigating strange artifacts and stories of monsters. You didn't expect that young Theresa Radcliffe would know your forbidden secret or that she would beg you to lead her down a path of depravity.

Yes. I am hoping to SEE MC interacting with Theresa eventually.MC isn't shown at all and the sex is text based so you will know the difference.
So far I've tried to err on the side of having less complex art and avoiding drawing anything that would look super janky, but I hope to include some more specific sex scene art as my skill improves. There's some limited third-person art for the manual sex training, and I plan to add more stuff like that in the future.My Only problem with it is the graphics/Artwork/renderings.
No "Interaction"; I wanna see 3rd person, or POV during 'Training Exercises"
Yeah, basically I wasn't properly checking that you'd done "Adulterine Soap", so you could visit Castille as soon as you found out where Mrs. Graber's house was. I've fixed that.**A fix for a bug where you could revisit Castille before you'd actually met her. **
would this happen BEFORE I complete the 'Adulterine Soap' task??
I'm not sure how much high-level branching I'll do; I at least plan to have multiple "graduation" events that you can choose from near the end of the game, but I might include some more complexity if it feels right. I'll be paying attention to patron feedback on that stuff, since more branching makes everything more complicated to write and fit into the game.Hopefully when the system is more fleshed out then rather than raising every stat with her, it'll be the case that you'll want to focus on what you want her to become ... like I have 0 interest in her initiating sexual stuff, but I want her to become something so broken that she won't refuse anything from anyone.
Part of this is me trying to minimize the risk of Patreon/other services deciding to shut me down, and part of it is the specific themes I'm aiming for with the game as a whole. I agree that non-con stuff is really hot, though, and there'll be some stuff that plays around with it. You can expect some situations where consent is weird in a horror way, and I'm sure I want to include some roleplay, so you'll be able to have Theresa beg you to stop and fight back as you fuck her (or something similar).I'm not keen on the thing saying that the protagonist won't ever get to perform non-consensual stuff (especially as we're clearly fine with that occurring as it can happen to him)...
Oh, shit, thanks. That'll be fixed in the next release. Clearly I need to test requirements better across the board.(I did maybe encounter one slight bug where I had the opportunity to choose doing the 1->2 tasks for one of her stats prior to even having done the 0->1 for the corresponding thing).
I don't know, I find Theresa incredible cute! I wouldn't want that to change at all, just different versions of her expressions and dress or undress!Obviously the art is pretty lacking
What do you mean that you fixed that?? In what way??Yeah, basically I wasn't properly checking that you'd done "Adulterine Soap", so you could visit Castille as soon as you found out where Mrs. Graber's house was. I've fixed that.
I LIKE Theresa. I would like to see her depraved and uninhabited. I Do Not Want to see ANYONE as a "Mindless Brainwashed Doll"; "...do expect Theresa to make the conscious choice to let people do some pretty 'NAUGHTY' things to her (and enjoy them)." (I Don't know about 'Gross'; Not Really into that scene.)And I definitely want her to get super depraved. Don't expect her to end up a mindless brainwashed doll, but do expect her to make the conscious choice to let people do some pretty gross things to her (and enjoy them).
You can fuck side characters and monsters; the only fucking with Theresa so far is manual sex (handjobs or fingering/rubbing). Coitus and oral sex with Theresa is planned for Depravity 3 and Experience 3, respectively.any fucking scenes .. yet?
Whether you're on a new or old save, you should be able to go to Mrs. Graber's house at dusk and visit Castille as long as you finished The Adulterine Soap at some point. You shouldn't need to replay anything. Note that, at the moment, this is basically just letting you try out other branches of the expedition's sex scene without messing with rollback or saves.What do you mean that you fixed that?? In what way??
Do I need to go back and replay, so I CAN visit Castille when I find Mrs. Graber's house??
Or Is It No longer an option??
All of those are either planned for some point in the future or already in development for the next update.Are You planning to add 'self masturbation', bondage & spanking (S&M) to the
"Let's engage in a bit of play" Choice??
Is 'Oral Pleasure' to be added to Theresa's "Education"??
