Ren'Py Abandoned Star Mars [v0.9.1b] [Magic Dude]

EA style tactics of locking content behind a paywall? Damn.
Played this a while back, I enjoyed it.
There should be a HUGE disclaimer in the OP (not hidden in the change log) that the futa content is cut from public version
Pretty slimy move

 

[MeiNaem]

Just saw the game today, too bad most of the content is paywalled.
I kind of get it, you don't want to work for free, but why not just delay the release for a week/month? That worls for most devs really well, paywalling content on the other hand will rub most people the wrong way (me included).

 

[joeblow00]

Well, that's one way to destroy interest in the game. This will be abandoned YTD. Shame, it was interesting.

 

[Entropylol]

Entropylol Choo-choo Chalksis Stella any thoughts?

Bad move honestly, how do you expect futa fans to play you if they dont even know how good the futa content is with the free content?

 

[Entropylol]

Oh shit, just notice what game is this. That's tragic really, futa content here is so good and plentiful. It will be hard to get new patreons this way.
On one hand you will have only vanilla content for free, what new commers will think? That this is fully a vanilla game? And why would futa fans support something that they dont know the quality of?

 

[Dremo]

Bro was already doing microscopic updates, at least release some substantial content before gating a large portion of it for the funsies.

 

[Erik1986]

The scummiest of all is that only one of the 2 remaining female characters has any real content, the asian one is just a basic introduction so far and then *see you next version wink wink*. So basically 90% of the game is now pay-walled until some actual development is even done on the non-futa cast.

 

[sadooper]

Adding a paywall is the kind of decision that makes people less likely to pay for your game. If you aren't making as much as you'd like to, then make a better game.

No android port?

This is way worse than I thought he's leaving out Futa Characters because of a Patron goal? In a game that new players can't see the futa scenes? He's completely lost it hasn't he?

This is way worse than I thought he's leaving out Futa Characters because of a Patron goal? In a game that new players can't see the futa scenes? He's completely lost it hasn't he?

What he's done is he slowly put the futa stuff in to test the waters, seen that "Oh futa gets a good response!" then slowly moved towards more futa and then thought "Hey since futa is popular why not make some bucks out of it, people will pay if it's popular right?"

He's banking on people being desperate enough to be hooked on the futa scenes they've already seen OR the idea of 'exclusive' content for patreons that he's forgotten that he has competitors (especially if money is the motivation), what he doesn't do, they probably will! It's looking at the smaller picture and not the big picture. What's the phrase "Cutting off the nose to spite the face".

 

[Erik1986]

He is making the same mistake that major game developers nowadays make, expecting fans to just bow down to annything they say or do. And even then you can see a bigger backlash with each time they cross the proverbial line. But unfortunately for the dev, he doesn't have the one thing those big companies have, Respect (from earlier good games) and Money (which they all greedily want more and more of)

I'm not sure what you mean, the futa stuff was the main point of the game from like the beginning.

 

[mach323]

VOTE WITH YOUR WALLETS PEOPLE. its bad enough to be abused by the main stream dont let solo developers form these bad habits. people who do this makes these choices cause they think they are missing out on a peice of the wider market what they fail to realise is that the people who already decided to not pay for the product can not be forced to pay for the peoduct.

 

[Icarus Media]

I'm not sure what you mean, the futa stuff was the main point of the game from like the beginning.

I recall the redhead from the garage and stumbling into the locker rooms in a really earlier version but other than that there seemed more females at that point: Nurse, the two with the futa in the locker room etc. Either way, even if I've mistaken on that it doesn't negate the point that everyone is saying in the action the dev has taken.

 

[Deleted member 4296702]

What a pathetic dev lmao

 

[carlousrex]

This wasn't an update. This was a downgrade.

 

[PitBullTerrier]

I'll give him 2 weeks until he regrets the decision and makes everything public again.
What a sad move lol

Hmm... not to burst your bubble, but according to these polls, majority of F95 users actually show clear preference for futadom content:

He's point is not about Futa content, and whether people like it or not.
It was about futa-game blocking futa content.

Let's be fair, when we talk about this game.
It's in the middle.

It's not garbage, trash or lazy indie, that are only good for playing once and never after.
Neither it is a great game, worth perpetual wait and constant investments.

In my opinion, it would make more sense to stop the updates and later release the full version, accessible only with some code, then blocking (crucial) part of the game.

Like ILIYAK said, that is not my point
