VN Ren'Py Stray Incubus [Season 1] [Flynn974]

[Fazed]

Though the game is on Itch as well, perhaps setting up a subscribe star page to give more options to people is a good idea. It seems even recently patreon is giving less and less incentive for people to give support there. I know of at least one big game that was forced to move and one other that got put on suspension for literally no reason at all. Everyone pretty much had to refund at the warning from the respective devs cuz patreon was gonna hold the money otherwise.

I enjoyed the update btw but some of the animations and transitions were a bit rough this time around. If you are using a new method I hope you work out the kinks. Sorry to see it got leaked this early.

I entered this game without expectations and for timepass after seeing the screenshots (been a while since I played HS games and nothing else to play). But man I was blown away. Keep the good work dev and I will support you as much as I can.

 

[Aoiru]

this game ist fucking great. Keep going Dev. I hope your game will be more popular

 

[MrBenny]

I think you forgot a requirement for Steam.
"Don't use Honey Select/Honey Select 2"

Oh, that's a shame. I didn't know how anal both Patreon and Steam can be, it's such a decent well done project. I'd hate to see it become abandoned, because of early leaks. Thanks for the information.

ngl the sex scene between Annebelle is so abrupt..i got confused when it happen.I hope dev slow down a bit instead of jumping into sex scene right away.Atleast show the player how it happen and how they start to do it...

im not sure if this is the final release since it got leak in the pirate site

unfortunately most of the sex scenes here are like this, kinda biggest downside of the game how abrupt and isolated all lewd stuff is from main story, relations with the LIs barely register outside of the sex scenes and sex scenes themself feel like a quickie, even while taking vcards
romance is dead, man

also, dev? please chill with hard pauses? they suck, really fucking suck, especially in this quantity, even more so - during long idle animations where nothing happens

 

[Alandir]

Welp, sadly I didn't benefit nearly enough from the 4 days I was granted. Let's hope my patron count still jumps miraculously after this blow cuz things aren't looking very promising for the project right now... Wish me luck I guess...

Have you though about putting up a patreon goal of how much you need monthly? If people see that you need it to timely continue the project, they may be more likely to pledge.

Its not about steam, it's about the rights on honey select render.

It's a crime that this dev has under 200 patrons.

Well, it s not to surprising for a game with 583 like... ok it have a weighted rating high but not a lot like it... So 200 subscripter are normal if there are only 600 to like it.
This game is average nice but not so great, it had nice graphics and dialogue but the story is average (i like it because of the badass mc...) and the porn scene too (3 sec loop, one pose is the bare minimum). AVn devs often underestimates the story and the animated sex scene. And once you start it averagely it s hard to get people hooked... And if you change it to much you can lose your fan base, its a 2 years old game, people now know your game, and like it for what it is... or not at all.
I think this game is too old for big change, Mr dev you will lose people if you try deap change... Sure you will have maybe 20-50 fanboys who will follow you no matter what, but it s not really a lot.
The graphic change is really too massive, you will have to rework from the start (and with a 2 years game, it will take a lot of time...), this will delay the update of the story and you will lose supporter. I don t think this was a smart move. This game will not survive long...
I would suggest to finish this one fast with the old graphics and try a new game with better graphics, sex scene and especially a story with more work if you want more subscripter to be hooked... ninja, fantasy and greek god are a weird mix. Also light bdsm and vanilla are not the most attractive kink here...

Summertime Saga has also been around for almost 8 years, going back to when there wasn't nearly as much competition. A lot of much older games have absurdly high levels of support.
Plus Flynn has only been on Patreon for I believe the last 3 updates so he's got a lot to catch up on in that regard. Still more or less agree with your point that too many release dates invites too much chaos.

You are right about S.S. being around for a long time, but they wouldn't have been able to keep their supporters if they didn't have a sustainable and generous system. The beauty of the $1 tier is that once people sign up, they let it ride for years, because it's so cheap. Only $12 per year right, but multiply that by 1 000 - 2 000 supporters or in Summertime Sagas case 10 000 - 20 000 supporters and you get a different picture.

Android port updated​

 

[andhesgonewithmetoo]

Would actually read all the thank-you's at the end if the game allowed me to read them normally instead of creating a way-too-long fixed delay. Because of that, I hold down the skip key, and they go by far too fast to read at all.

Quite a cliffhanger... I can't wait to discover the exact role that the gods play in this story. Amazing update, finally a big step forward with Anabelle. While Irena leans more and more towards the MC side.

Maybe the scene with Nari is missing something? The fight was intense , but I think we didn't necessarily feel it. And I thought Nari was going to mention the choice we made when it came to kill or spare uh... I don't remember her name or her species, but the one who had taken possession of Venus' body. But given how the scene went, we're going to meet him again anyway.

Otherwise everything was very good as usual. I guess the succubus breath on Anabelle is what freed her towards the MC, so thanks to her!

Irena took a big step back for me. Whether she was rooting for MC or not, once they (Nari and that other succubus) made it clear they were OK with killing MC and she stepped out of their way, I immediately took her off my list of LI's. I was actually hoping for an option where she comes up to the MC after the fight and we got the change to tell her to fuck off, but hopefully that choice will still exist somewhere down the line. I might have to go back and not save Nixie, too, since she was on their side. Thought she wouldn't go back to them since, y'know... they kinda left her for dead.

She tried to convince him to not attack the MC.
it didn't work...

did you expect her to actually fight him? he is way way way stronger than her, MC is also vastly stronger than her.
all that would have done is gotten her killed and then people would be raging at dev for killing her.

Like she had any choice. She couldn't stand up to Nari, he's stronger than MC, he'd be several times stronger than her. Her father is enough of a cunt that he probably told him to take her out if she did. She DID try to convince them to leave him alone.
Like I just don't see what you're expecting here. Because she didn't literally give up her life to save a guy that she barely even knows she's bad?

She made 1 protest about how the order is to take him in alive and then was like 'ah, oh well' when they were like "or dead". That's the bare minimum. She didn't even try to argue or anything. I didn't expect her to fight him, but also... would they have tried to hurt Axius' daughter if she pushed back on the "or dead" thing? She didn't really do much here. Yes, sure, the MC is stronger and she knows this, but she also seemed a bit surprised that the MC could stand against Nari, which means she probably expected him to be killed. If she expected that, and all she could muster was "BuT tHe OrDeR sAiD" then she ain't worth dick.

And you can't say that all that would have done was gotten her killed... this is a fictional story - any number of things could have happened if they were written that way. Don't want her dead? Write around it. We're not watching a historical documentary.

 

[Mommysbuttslut]

would they have tried to hurt Axius' daughter if she pushed back on the "or dead" thing?

Did you miss the part where we're told Axius beats her or something? Yes, they would have hurt Axius's daughter and Axius wouldn't have given one flying fuck about it.

Oh, that's a shame. I didn't know how anal both Patreon and Steam can be, it's such a decent well done project. I'd hate to see it become abandoned, because of early leaks. Thanks for the information.

When Devs talk about Patreon problems … they are referring to quasi morality guidelines they have to comply with to be there.
Steam problems on the other hand are due to legal/copyrights ownership issues.

So I agree … Patreon is Anal but the position is tied to maintaining their stock price and not being a company that supports incest.

Steam is much more cut and dried and they are concerned about hordes of lawyers suing them into bankruptcy because the profited off pirated HS models. (Which is a nebulous & specious claim) however lawyers love to make a meal out of that type of shit.

Yeah I can understand the sentiment too. But I'm talking more about where her loyalty lie. Her thoughts during the fight say it all: "Maybe he could". At this point, I think she's switching sides.
