I don't know if you've already answered this question, but what 100% original content do you plan to add?

Hey ALRM5404!

That's a great question!

We want to add more unique romanceable NPCs like Alice and Julia. The idea for this is to make more of the original NPCs (like the female cop) romanceable and recruitable. We also have ideas for entirely new NPCs.

We also want to see the story completed. Although the idea isn't original, we want to add gangs to each city area. As you expand your brothel and you're area of influence, you'll need to deal with these gangs and their leaders (leaders will be like the boss for each region). Each gang will have unique traits and leaders, which we hope will make the main story more exciting and help us to bring a conclusion to the main story.

Aside from those two things, most of the things we have planned are expanding and polishing things the original game already had. I'll list them below.
  • New classes for the MC and NPCs
  • A polished battle system with new "attacks" for characters based on classes
  • Reworking how you gain exp points (We want to make it less grindy and give you more variation in the way you earn exp)
  • Reworking the corruption of Alice (We still want to keep the old events, but we want it to be more paced and intuitive)
  • Adding more outfits and weapons for characters (We want you to be able to mix and match clothing items)
  • Better UI system for managing your staff and brothel
  • Adding more traits and personalities for NPCs
  • More locations including a church, hair salon, dojo, underground fight club, casino, etc
  • More Toggleable Fetishes
  • In-game seasons, calendar, and events
  • Mission/Quest tracking

Thank you very much for answering me and honestly, I haven't seen this kind of ambition and initiative in a porn game for a long time and I can't wait to see a playable beta.

I really hope that this won't have the same fate as the original game. 14k USD / month and it gets abandoned.. I wish you to reach the milestone though :)

Thank you. I want this game to not only help me and my family, but the artists, composers, voice actors, writers, and their families. I can honestly say I have no intention of abandoning the project.

It's too early, in my opinion, to support you as an admirer but the stalker is sold out. Expand the stalker option and I think many would already be willing to participate in the project

Hey gino.pilotino!

No worries, I know that supporting a project so early in development is a big risk. We have zero track record when it comes to creating larger projects and we completely understand.

The reason why our stalker tier is sold out is because of the amount of money that Patreon, Paypal, and Taxes were taking. Basically, we are only getting about 30 cents from the $1 people are pledging. With most of that tier's pledge not going toward the development of the game, we decided to discontinue it. We may open it again if we can find a way to reduce those costs.

P.S. Thanks for giving us your honest opinion. Just interacting with the project is a big help and supports us more than you know.

I understand. But if 1000 people buy the Stalker Option it's $300. You are trying to finance yourself before you sell something. Some can afford to spend $5 or $10 on trust, but I and many others can't. I paid for one of my favorite games around $800. Absurd. Did the developers deserve help? Yes. So much? no. After spending I do not participate in the earnings. iI paid $125 for Simbro, and remained incompleteIf you need I buy the stalker, for now. But for sure I don't give you more, for now. and I don't exceed $200 with anyone anymore. no sorry... I mean not for the developer but for the single game

Dude, is anybody forcing you to support this game, pointing a gun to your head?

The project is damn ambitious, and yet the devs state it clear enough: there's no playable game right now, and when it's done, it'll be public released. So right now you don't buy anything. You just donate your money to support the development. Donate. You know, based on your decision made by your free will. What's your problem after all? You don't wanna spend $5, so do not spend them.

Hello again gino.pilotino!

I totally get your frustration. I've been victim to the exact same thing with SimBro and other games. Not just on Patreon but on Kickstarter too. It sucks not knowing the intentions or motivations of a developer. Even if a developer such as myself promises to finish the project, you have no guarantee that they or I will follow through.

Although I understand your argument about having 1000 people buy the Stalker option and getting $300 regardless of fees, I think you may be missing a big problem. Each person that subscribes to us has an expectation, and we have an obligation to that person, regardless of tier rewards. Having the expectations of 1000 people along with the obligation to those people is a lot to undertake. Each person that joins puts more responsibility on our shoulders. We need to answer their questions, solve their problems (with the game), reply to their personal messages, etc. Managing these things for 1000 people is a big task which would either cause the game's development to slow (due to fulfilling those responsibilities), or require us to hire someone to do that for use (which would reduce the amount of money going back into the game more). I believe that 30 cents a person wouldn't justify the amount of work needed to keep those people happy and develop the game.

If you're skeptical about the game and its development, I'd suggest waiting for the demo release before considering supporting us. We also plan to have an additional option to support us by buying the game for a one-time purchase in the future.

Thank you TheGentleViking for what I think was a very level headed response. I agree they should probably wait.

Dude, is anybody forcing you to support this game, pointing a gun to your head?
See, when you want something real bad, you stop being a rational actor. No one is pointing a gun at their head, but that doesn't mean there isn't a great deal of pressure. You forget that these types of Patreons appeal to more than just wanting to play a fun game. There's (typically) a sexual brain response combined with FOMO and there are a ton of people out there unable to resist the urge. I would argue most people in that position wouldn't think twice about paying a few bucks even if it was just to see what they got. The potential benefits outweigh the risks. I'm just saying.

Something I think this particular Patreon does well is it posts both free and exclusive updates. So if someone is curious about the game, they can still of follow along and get a sense of its general progress before making the decision to support. I like that.

I remember seeing this when I was younger, damn Im getting older lol. After the big purge of adope player most if not all such games got deleted. I cant remember what type of setting this was but from what I can remember it was a brother manager BUT also featured elements that you could keep your girls "safe", aka keep them away from others and they earned the money other way... or I mix this up with a different game since its been a while.

Care to fresh my memories up ?

Hello Valeriyo!

You kind of got it right. Simbro was a brothel management game with light combat. It centred around an MC who inherited a building and a large debt. To eliminate this debt, the MC decides to turn the building into a brothel. Besides brothel management, Simbro featured side stories, which saw the MC trying to get into his assistant's pants and even persuading women from other worlds to join their brothel. Although it was mainly unfinished it was a very ambitious game for its time.

I don't know if you mean Simbro or this one, but I guess you're confusing them because they used the same art as LOK (here is a gameplay video with LOK's art) the last update of 2020 is using their own art

I somehow didn't notice this despite Simbro being one of my favourite porn games...alongside Breeding Season.
Rough tastes here...

This looks cool so far can't wait to see the eventual demo.


My only question is, will Alice still take a long time to lose her dignity? The slow progress of her corruption was what kept me coming back to the original so I hope that stays the same(and doesn't get aggressively blue ballsy!)

Anyway looks great so far and best of luck to y'all.

Hey Gutsandguts!

Yeah, we still plan to keep Alice's corruption at a smooth pace. We want it to be more of a build-up from a to b, without making it too grindy. We also want to add multiple ways to corrupt Alice. This is primarily to prevent people from getting stuck with the lowing of Alice's Dignity.

Thanks for the kind words, and I look forward to your opinion once the demo is out.
