Hey. Shut up.

No one wants to see you whining over and over about the game.
Say something more substantive than "omg! dev is milking!" or GTFO.
And yet I never said anything about the dev or their games. Are you in such a hurry to defend them that you can't be asked to even read who posts what in this thread?

But, since you brought it up yourself: Yeah, this is dev milking. Plain and simple. They're treating these as standalones and they're being delivered in place of content updates, per their own words.

And, if you know anything about Ren'py coding, you know batch porting is just a stall tactic to drip feed releases. Once the foundation's coded out then it's largely just copy/pasting and applying minor edits (and you need that foundation before you can port anything).

The differential between a batch of scenes and every scene is barely existent, it doesn't need to be broken up into releases spread out over months at a time. Devs who do this are doing it in bad faith.

You are right, it is not an argument but it is a valid course of action. Voting with your wallet is very effective. We are seeing it happen in the games industry right now. games launching to zero player base and dying instantly. Why? Cuz they told ppl don't like it don't play it and now they are in the shitter. Works for me.
It's not a valid course of action because this is a piracy site. And you don't seem to notice that argument was never about buying games in the first place, it's a fallacy used to indirectly tell people to go away instead of voicing criticisms.

More idiots talking about sh*t they don't understand. But then again, they are just straight up pirate sc*ms who thinks they are some sort of elite criticism after they f*cking their hand long enough ....

If you follow GunSmoke on their discord, or you've been following the game in years you would know they've been trying to adapt new method for their game. Ren'Py seems to have potential so they severing parts first for test or whatever that it is they are planning.
They are of course ask for the supports, and it was ... ever since they start their project ??? Why do you think that tho ? You think you are in some sort of secretly high society organization that no one know ??
But the dev didn't even begging.
Not a variants of the game they tried to rework that is terrible. People just not interest since they just stick with the original game - which still being develope. Ren'Py is the 1st one seems to have better success so that's why there is a second one in here.

Now about this seperated projects, I was expecting they adapting to Ren'Py for long time now and I'm glad to see the 2nd part.

Call it whatever you like. Don't like it, don't play it. nobody plays it the game dies. Lesson learnt, by both the dev and those saying it. Then you get to say "I told you so". Thats my point. This being a piracy site does not matter because it still gives games exposure and some of us give money to the devs when we like the game. When the dev doesnt get money they will either change stuff or end the project. Why would they do anything differently if you still give them money or play the game, regardless of the state it is in.

If you dont like something, don't engage with it. It is effective, one way or the other. It is very valid lmao.


I am not saying not to leave feedback or critique in general, just saying your take about not playing thing you don't like isn't valid, is lets say one dimensional. You want to play a better version of the game that is fine. However, If feedback isnt working on game that has been in development for 8 years and has reputation of being a stagnant buggy mess, you are just wasting energy at that point.

Sooo no inbuilt cheat menu?

Ok I get that many people have a type but wtf is every girl like the same DD+ and Big Ass. I myself prefer B's or C's but like A's or D's with an occasional DD's Boobs and prefer small to medium ass. but Why the F@#$ is every girl DD+ and Big Ass it is like you took the same girl and just copied and pasted.

sorry for the rant but my god at least a little variety and i don't just mean hair color

1. He is milking his patreons and what's the point of these?
2. I think he is releasing these events as seperate games, because they were easier to update and so on...
As far as i heard, is the main game only hold together through a few bits of bubblegum...

You're still completely missing the context and hyper fixating on something that doesn't apply here.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying it's completely irrelevant to what you're replying to, and not a valid course of action here. You're having a completely unrelated conversation because you took a turn of phrase literally.

But I'm not going to keep derailing over this, if you can't understand the communication barrier you're having then that's fine.

Been talked to death in the main game thread but the main reason is they want to bring more people into their patreon. They publish this version to sites like newgrounds and itch.io and hope it gains views.
Its clear when you see the "please help us small devs on our patreon please" message when you beat the event.

TLDR: Ren'py is easier to port to game sites then that unity mess

And I wasn't saying you were wrong in general either. Ofc I know people say that to get rid of criticizers, as if well intentioned critique is a bad thing. Both points can be true. I just don't think this dev deserves anyone's time at this point.

I am enjoying the game so far, but I have a few suggestions to improve it.

1. Add a time indicator for the parties to show how many hours are left before you leave.

2. Add an option to choose which person you want to interact with in the Booth. Right now it seems to glitch - you end up having an encounter with Penguin's henchwomen and then immediately return with another girl. Being able to choose which one you want (or to return to the floor) would be ideal.

3. In the gallery, having an icon or colour telling you that you have explored all current content for a person would be nice.

4. There are all kinds of hints at business deals and bribes with the mayor, Bruce Wayne, and various criminals. It would be fairly easy (?) to add in some kind of effect from these agreements - perhaps just a slider showing influence over Gotham that would encourage the player to try and get them all, or perhaps it could gatekeep your interactions with a few characters, requiring influence before they will open up to you or agree to come as your date for the evening.

Something Unlimited (the main game) is made in unity and can't be played on android. Which is something like 30% of the playerbase for these kind of games (weird to play porn games on your phone but whatever).
Super cheap Chinese phones running Android are very prevalent throughout the world, and many people have those phones and not a PC. I do wonder if pandering towards the cheapest segment of a population that relies heavily upon piracy for their entertainment will boost profitability for a game dev, though.
