man.. This dev is cooking compared to others...
Iv been waiting on a game and after 3 month it made a single update with 2 extra hair.
game started around Mar 13, 2021(first post here under OP).. and it's at 0.47.. so maybe a 6 year game lol or more :rolleyes:

also making lots of money on patreon and other mediums.. they are taking their time on purpose.. there is no 'cooking'

I will give them 1 thing though, they are at least adding a little each month.. well usually.

What...?

You do know that the 1.0 version is coming out in January, right?

And that version numbers don't necessarily have anything to do with how close the game is to completion, right?

There's been 47 monthly updates, that's what it means.

This isn't a matter of right or wrong or opinon, the dev has clearly stated it.

Don't try to excuse your ignorance by suddenly pretending that you've been burned before and you're just worried or some other BS. Just admit you were wrong, apologize and move on.

def report in discord too (they may just see it faster, I'm not on the dev team)
It looks like it's already been fixed.

Uh... most of the patreon posts are public, you can check out the development progress yourself. the 0.47 has nothing to do with how close to finished it is. It goes up by one every month. The game is on track to be a "finished product" around January 2025.

Auradev, will you sell your game anywhere outside of steam, as a standalone purchase when its complete?
And will you ever add anything related to spicier sex content like rimjobs and such?
It's not even clear if the game will be accepted on steam. On the other hand, you can buy it on itch.io.
For 1.0, the corruption content is done for now (except for some more lewd books and skills).

Doing the full corruption route is heart-rending. But all the content relating to the corruption ending is completed, if you want it.
I enjoy the games that present both options. The inevitably of corruption is less sexy than a path that achieved through either deliberate choices or accumulated failures. This game is both more unique and awkward since you're playing against yourself.

idc.. I don't excuse anything.. IDC if I'm right or wrong about this particular DEV.. I'm saying I hope you are correct for YOURSELF.. since YOU believe in this DEV. the end.

pretending huh? nice gaslighting bro. you don't know anything about me. YOU move on.

Shadowclonezero just to give a bit more information here, maybe help you see that other perspective.

imo aura-dev is like the Gold Standard(tm) of upstanding Patreon devs. I've watched the project grow over 3 years. Very clear goals, very clear scoping. Where all the revenue is going is always indicated, whether its to art assets, pixel assets, mappers, music, UI/UX skinning, assistant story writing.... its amazing. The guy is managing a full ass team of contractors. Every release consistently has tons of bugfixes, balancing improvements, new content, and the release schedule is downright *Germanic*. I had *zero* problem subbing to them one year at a time for like 3 years. It was just so refreshing to see exactly the opposite of what you are lamenting. I hear you bro, f95zone can feel like a graveyard of cash sucking feces that pretend to be game developers. Some of these, I feel start as genuine attempts to build a game, and the person has no understanding how much of an undertaking this is, and they burn out ... but that sweet, sweet, revenue stream... aura-dev is 100% not that. Like, their contract artist drew some assets once that were anatomically broken. I pointed it out, the dev asked for more details, I gave them, and he iterated with the contract artist until it was fixed.

TLDR Although the corruption route genuinely scares me, imo this is the best managed project on f95zone.

Last time I read, Steam only had the requirement of no copy-right infringement, as well as your game characters having no similarity to any real-life persons. Plus your game doesn't have rape and bestiality so it shouldn't be an issue on that end as well.

Why don't you try submitting your game for review to Steam once 1.0 is out?

I have a steam page and I will try. The game is also censored for SFW on steam with an external patch, and I have generally taken every precaution I can think up to reduce the chance of it getting banned, and yet it is still likely to get banned. I won't be going into the issue as this discussion has been had several times and I don't really want to repeat it. Others may feel to do so instead or you can research the topic on steam's banning lottery yourself.

Well I feel bad to have started a discussion about Devs and expectations ect.
What I see is, that this Dev releases small patches every 2 months that( FOR ME) is far more than some of the other devs that I wont name that just leech just to abandon a project 4 months laters.

I remember a long time ago this game being extremely hard to play without a walkthrough. Is that still the case or can i just play blindly ?
