Lol. I think that Pink Tea's been going downhill ever since.
His first game, Slave Lord, was the peak. From there, his games have been getting lower quality + bigger file sizes. I wish he'd just go back to flash games; he could just add a desktop flash launcher when he publishes his game.
But to be honest, art style is a matter of taste, so I guess these recent games ain't my taste...
Also, it's kinda funny how Patreon's cracking down on non-consensual hentai porn and lolis, while being completely fine with games where you shoot people into a gory mess or videos where barely legal real teenagers shake their ass in skimpy high school costumes...
I cant even say I disagree. The EC ones were a bit wonky (I definitely prefer the second) and TA was something completely different setting wise. Atleast he is doing his own art again and not waiting for inferior commissions like in EC.
SLotG remains by far my favourite, but if the original Slave Lords wasnt so great already I would probably not have become a patreon back then. Something about the harsh slave lord, no consent setting is just very appealing for a game. sadly this type of content is basically completely gone now.. I was fine with the old artstyle, it had a certain charme to it but it definitely improved massively in SLotG or do you prefer the old SL one? I think the art quality in TA was about equal to SLotG.
As for the setting Im really hyped about the current project because it feels like he is going back to his roots a bit. There are some pretty spicy scenes even with patreons censorship. Considering he had to take down the original SL games from his patreon page I doubt we will ever get something closer than this (aka no consent probably).
Im a flash fanatic, I havent even deinstalled it yet and the startup message clearly wasnt expecting this, it doesnt even know what year we have lol. Im still a bit salty the catgirl trainer was abandoned because of it, especially now that newgrounds has a flash replacement and you can just download the games standalone.
But I do like that I can play the newer games on mobile, so I guess it was worth it.
the funniest thing about the patreon censorship is he got some pretty detailed feedback about what he had to remove last year which implies someone at patreon had to play through the games.
All we can do is bother him on patreon to go back to the original SL setting and gameplay and test the limits of what patreon allows.
So while I agree with your sentiment that his original games were the best, I still think he is the best erogame dev. Its just the mix of quality, content, update pace, consistency and also fair monetization. I mean just look at the update schedule of other games, in the time where they get a few scenes he releases entire games and non of the content is hidden behind a paywall. If there is someone else like this let me know to prove me wrong!
And yeah while the last poll he did on patreon was ages ago, he does listen to feedback when you write him.
We cant really blame him for patreons censorship.
Do you know other games like the original Slave Lord?
