Darn about the lack of download links. Looks like the call for a hero goes out once again.

Can someone see about getting this one translated. It looks like it's in the same vein as Succubus Affection. Saw this one on Kimochi.info

I might be wrong, but isn't there already a translation request thread for that? I don't think anyone's working on a translation though, as much as I would love to say otherwise...
Kind of lost at just forming pacts with the Alarune? I have befriended all the ones I can find and formed pacts with them and the fox ladies in the woods and nothing has changed. The sign outside my house still has the same tip to go form pacts. Any thoughts?

I am actually a big dumb dumb silly head and didn't see the glowing green ring at the right side of the second screen inside where the slimes start to spawn. I thought that Alarune was a name for the slimes for basically no fucking reason.

For whatever reason, it seems like Japanese people don't like using crowdfunding, but the guy above me posted related links. I have rarely, if ever, seen a Japanese developer use crowdfunding, but I have seen artists use websites similar to patreon.
Thread already exists, found it as the first result by googling the game name. Didn't even type F95: https://f95zone.to/threads/translat...ghter-boy-ashita-sky-castle-almagarden.39151/

Japs are one of the most legit people in the world in that regard. They could last ages making a game, but it will be released finished and you have to pay for it once.
The whole "sub model" that Patreon bring to the west was a fucking mistake.

Yeah, Patreon is fine for creators that produce a reasonable amount of self-contained content, like illustrations, videos, etc... but for big projects like the development of a game is counterproductive, why would you ever finish a game you're being paid 10 grand a month to keep working on it?

Do you think it's better to use something like Kickstarter where the entire budget is gathered at once? There's not much stopping illegitimate devs from pocketing the money like the subscription model, but once the money runs out that's it. You'd also need a good pitch for your campain or nobody will bother, something harder to do with no-name indie devs.

In the end it amounts to "Is the developer incentived to actually finish the project?".
With the Kickstarter model they are, because they have a fixed budget so finishing faster means lowering the development costs, increasing the net gains and freeing themselves to start another campaign to get more money.
With the Patreon model they aren't, they literally get more money the longer they take developing the game, and finishing it is akin to quitting your job, so the best strategy is adding a minimum effort update every couple of months ad infinitum, I'm sure most of you know at least a couple examples of this.

Kickstarter is actually really good (when people don't take the money and run) because it incentives them to finish faster and get more profits like the user above me said.
Patreon on the other hand, it can fuck off for all I care.
So whenever I try to open the game either literally nothing happens or I get a split second flash of the slime girl with a shocked expression and an exclamation mark next to her which then closes and nothing else happens. I'm on a Windows pc so it's not an error with Apple software or anything like that.
And I do have that Mai@KF file.
