def report in discord too (they may just see it faster, I'm not on the dev team)
The "heart rending" statement is too true. The way the characters are written, I really *enjoyed* who Aura starts as. And you watch as her personality just gets manipulated, gaslit, deceived into becoming a truly awful person. I had to stop playing, because I found it truly distressing.Wouldn't work for me. I don't see the appeal of rewatching scenes after I finish the game. Never used a gallery in my life to fap to.
No matter how good the narrative is at the end of the day I am still playing a porn game and I want to get off by playing it.
If I have to play the game normally and rewatch all the scenes in the gallery and have a fap session then I could also just rip the CGs and never play the game.
The only time I look at a gallery is when I want to know if I saw everything or how much there is still to see.
It gets only juicy towards the end of the game. Got it.
With the game being advertised as a 30 to 50 hour long game this seems like a long dry spell until then ngl.
I am indifferent to these kinda thoughts to be honest. Eroding her values and getting the protagonist more sluttier is the whole appeal to the game or not. Why working against it especially on your first playthrough?
But yeah, this is highly subjective and you both basically confirmed my evaluation of the game. Thanks.
I read that here are still some CGs being drawn for the corruption route and some side quest stuff so I will still hold of for now.
Edit: Are there any scenes I could repeat or is it all railroaded?
At first, its not too bad: she loosens up and gets more body comfortable. But then it begins to transition into the psychological manipulation stuff. Like some sort of psychopathic sadism? I started to feel a true seething hatred towards women radiating from the game. Like the essence of incel, distilled to its purest form. It freaked me out. I don't hate women, I just want to cum in them and was frustrated when I was younger and didn't know how to make that happen as regularly as I would have liked. But this game.... yikes.
If the movie "Mean Girls" gets you hard, because you love cruelty, then this game will be your mecca.

..........You guys DO know it's a corruption game.....right?
lol yes, but no game has ever done it as well as this game. And when its done well, its fucking terrifying.
I'm holding out for the good-natured, perverted, slut path that may or may not happen!
Sexual corruption and moral corruption are entirely separate things. I like games with the former but this game leans WAY too hard into the latter for my tastes. Still a top tier game but it's absolutely the thing I dislike the most about it.
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
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...?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
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.
Walk east from the 1st forest map.
Maybe you needed to burn one plant that's in the way. Learn Fire first.
well hope you're correct, for your sake.. patreon game makers make me feel tired man.. it always seems the same schemes
make tons of money and milk it as long as possible.. maybe this person is different, don't know yet..
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.

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).

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.
Hello, it's been a while since i last checked the game, what happened to the Max Lewdness guide? The Google Docs file has been deleted.
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?
