i'm honestly not sure on that. a couple of the assets i've used at the moment are unclear on if they can be used in adult games. one of the big challenges is getting decent sound/music/font/ui which are actually okay for adult games. i try to be clear on them and may switch them out if i can find better, but i don't want to risk getting sued for using assets with unclear usage rights.
Thank you for letting us know.reading the thread, you'd see i got a fair bit in and patreon pinged me for the characters being too toony that they looked younger than they are.
i raged and instead worked on other games/comics for a bit.
have since restarted and rebuilt the game from the ground up.
in the past week, i did the following:
it's also taking so long because there's no way in hell i'm releasing this half-finished. not making that mistake again.
- re-did the code for the bakery shop so now all items buy/sell with more efficient code making it easier to scale up if i want to add items to the store
- started building code for the fishing mini-game which will allow the player to collect fish for an achievement, collect fish to sell, and open up sexy times with a river naiad
- re-coded how i deal with random dialogue to make it easier to give more varied options in certain circumstances to provide greater replayability
finally, this isn't my day job. i have a day job. multiple day jobs. sometimes weekend jobs. a guy's gotta eat, and my work barely pays for the assets i buy. doesn't even pay for the coke i drink, if i'm honest. edit: i made more money from tax refunds than from the game.
so, i work on it when i can.
i think the bigger problem is people have a high level of entitlement and a misconception involving how much money i make with my games. i also think a large majority of people on this platform at least feel they don't have to pay creators anything because we should somehow feel grateful our work was downloaded in the first place. if you think about it that way, you'll see why so many games are abandoned here midway through their creation.
when devs have to work harder at their day jobs, they soon lose either motivation or time to update their games or work on their comics or whatever.
sure, a few *coughmilfycitycough* games can't use that as an excuse, but these are rare. very rare. the majority of devs are making fuck all because the majority of people downloading our work don't care enough to fling us a few cents.
seriously, bums on the street earn more than me if i judge by what's in their hats when i walk past them on the way to work.
whinge done, at the end of the day i make this game and my comics and other games simply because i LIKE to. sure, i'd love to do it for a living, but i've given up on that daydream.
final edit: that wasn't a whinge aimed at you, StephanieD - just a generic whinge in response to the question.
The other thing is that I don't think people really understand the work and time that goes into making a game.reading the thread, you'd see i got a fair bit in and patreon pinged me for the characters being too toony that they looked younger than they are.

not sure if it's worth doing unless you like doing it.
Cupboard full of noodles?
so many questions i don't want answers to...Cupboard full of noodles?
Wet and messy + Food fetish crossover kinkfest confirmed.
My pants are lowered and my body is ready.
Danny Elfman is a genius... just like Ivan Reitman. Hasta la vista, baby.
yah, this game only feels stuck in limbo. it's actually not.
Do you know any AI voice generator that allows you to freely set emotions for a given sentence? Because I haven't found a single one like that.
i haven't yet done it myself but i've installed local versions of AI for both art and chat on my pc, so I'd probably do the same for the voice eventually. you can get some where you can define the tone etc. or have the AI in the chat version make the tone for a text to speech model (some of those are getting good with this).
Video games have what you're looking for. Skyrim, for example, has enough voice files that people have been able to use the samples for AI voices for a mod that makes the NPC's react to things you say to them, and have full on conversations (that mod is wild).
