Considering the dev is on this site, I don't think this is even really pirating. You're yelling at a nothingburger.
The part I object to is the deliberate choice to not do both. Itch.io has a perfectly straightforward option to sell ongoing access to an easily updated download for a single payment. No need to involve Steam at all. All it would take is to update the itch.io download at the same time as the patreon download.*snip*
I'm not yelling at anything. It is possible to state opinions and bring up issues without raging and foaming at the mouth about it.Considering the dev is on this site, I don't think this is even really pirating. You're yelling at a nothingburger.
Unless there's an open-night where the other girls on the rooftop come try it out, or another woman ends up stranded like the FMC. I could see the pawnshop owner getting corrupted to try it out at current levels with anger-trepidation, not really shyness. Then the mechanic girls would have one super shy and one explosive out of nowhere. Like the one with a drinking problem could substitute the attention she gets from stripping for drinking, cause she said she started getting hooked on drinking out of the social aspect of it, and the AI promised to never offer her a drink. I would actually be sads if she got back on the sauce, lol.If a stripper mini game is added (which I really hope it is) it would have to be before she starts letting all the chuds and cyborgs grope her all the time. Or else she won't be the least bit shy and it won't make sense for corruption.
I like your game for what it is, I still believe you're cultured person and there's some thoughts put behind all this, I really think there's a lot of positive, but I also believe you're not working on it as much as you should, giving the bite size content that get delivered over such a long period of time, and I will definitely not believe this is some sort of charity you're doing (if you ever get tired of making porn go try your hand in politics).*elusive justifications*
Bro, don't even bother. These guys don't care about you, they just want to complain about not being spoonfed max effort content for minimal cost.So, uh, it's been busy here.
I release the game for free because I don't want to lock the content behind a paywall. The game isn't finished. I'm constantly making changes and breaking things. Pretty much all the money the game does make goes into art, voice acting, the new pixel art, and the occasional programmer help. If I ever really make any money off this it'll be from a Steam release. I doubt it'll ever be anything more than a fun project that paid for itself. I do intend on finishing the game. I dislike disappointing people and I don't like leaving things unfinished. The game will end and the funding will stop regardless of how much money it's making at that time. I have a reputation to uphold after all. You don't want to burn your bridges by leaving a game unfinished for years and years and years leading people on while getting free money... and...
As for support you can always do a one time donation on Itch, but Patreon does take a smaller cut than Itch does. But really at this stage of development just spreading the word is more than enough.
I have no intention of getting Annica back on the drink again. That's more just story for why the mechanics might avoid the bar. Long term that rent increase will be causing everyone to look for new sources of income. But May will have her own issues with her security staff no longer settling for the occasional down blouse shot...
I dare you to try and say anything dumber than that, asking out of morbid curiosity.Bro, don't even bother. These guys don't care about you, they just want to complain about not being spoonfed max effort content for minimal cost.
Make a game !!I dare you to try and say anything dumber than that, asking out of morbid curiosity.
So far no one has complained about not being spoon-fed max effort, afaik.Bro, don't even bother. These guys don't care about you, they just want to complain about not being spoonfed max effort content for minimal cost.
One particular person is complaining that there's a brief delay between the current build being released to backers and it being posted here.So far no one has complained about not being spoon-fed max effort, afaik.
"Spoon-fed max effort" != "instant f95 release"One particular person is complaining that there's a brief delay between the current build being released to backers and it being posted here.
I was talking about this post, a few pages back-"Spoon-fed max effort" != "instant f95 release"
The "spoon-fed max effort" was Karnewarrior's reaction to kopiluwak's post, who said, that most devs don't seem to put in 100% effort when receiving monthly donations. At least, that's how I read it.
And in a later post it was made clear, that that was a general statement and not aimed at Lime and they'd be OK with Lime receiving as many donations as there were people willing to pay (mind you, it was a tad exaggerated/sardonic, imho, but it didn't feel mean spirited towards Lime).
So, it was just a little chat about the general state of affairs between some fellow pervs, that seems to have come across as less general to some other members. No harm done. We all seem to like Lime and seem to be OK with the pace of development. It's just in the details, that some folks would like to see things change/improve - and I feel like that's reasonable and exactly the reason we have threads like this going - at least I enjoy those convos way more than the umpteenth request for a full save and the question of "is pregnancy in this a mechanic or game over only?"
Kopiluwak was upset they have to wait two weeks to get the current build because they're not financially contributing to the development of the game.like half a month ?
1 it's a warez site, this is the whole purpose of this forum to share, always as been for the last 20 years.
2 promoting your game on a warez site and keeping your main source of advertisment on the backseat is kind of ungrateful
3 art and culture are meant to be shared and enjoyed by everyone, you're not harming the dev, you're helping him.
4 pirates would never have bought the game anyway, it's not a loss, if you enjoy the game you support it, if you can't you don't.
that's just your presumptions, you know nothing about who I am and what I do (or even my mood when i'm typing theses messages lol), dev didn't always delay releases, it came later.Kopiluwak was upset they have to wait two weeks to get the current build because they're not financially contributing to the development of the game.
Ah, OK, now I know what you meant.--snip--
