NEW POST
As promised in my last post, I want to explain why we filled our project with over 40 characters instead of focusing on just a few and fully developing them. The answer is both complex and simple - there are tons of reasons for it!
1. The Big Vision
The main reason? We wanted to create something massive and high-quality. We weren’t interested in making a short, small project with a basic storyline and a typical harem setup. To pull off something this ambitious, we needed a big world, with many locations, a lot of characters, and complex relationships between them. We put a ton of effort in early - creating animations, poses, kinks, and character backstories that we plan to expand on in the future. Every one of those choices didn’t just make the project bigger; it also made us (and hopefully you) more attached to the world.
2. World-Building Takes Time
We wanted to create a truly massive world, but with an indie team like ours, there’s no way we could do it all at once. That’s why, with each update, we focused on pushing the story forward, expanding the world, and slowly but surely adding new pieces to the puzzle.
3. Learning as We Go
We’ve come a long way in terms of content quality, art, programming, and writing. We started as complete amateurs with zero experience in game development, making (and still making) plenty of mistakes. But that’s how we learn, right? Every update has been an opportunity for our small team to add another piece to this massive project and create something truly worthwhile. Sure, many talented teams have made short, impressive projects, but that wasn’t our strategy. We had no experience and little skill when we began, so our goal was to grow, learn, and improve alongside the project.
4. The Perfectionist’s Curse
Speaking of improvement - yeah, we’ve spent a lot of time reworking older content (art, writing, and logic - funny enough, the logic has been the biggest challenge). Sure, we could have spent that time creating new content, but our artist is a total perfectionist. He can’t stand looking at his old work without cringing, so he went all in on updating it, even while the rest of the team focused on new updates.
5. Why Others Don’t Do It
In our opinion, one of the main reasons other projects don’t follow this approach is a lack of ideas, a fear of reworking what’s already been done, or worrying about messing up something people already love. For us, the challenge has always been a lack of time - because we’ve got tons of ideas and plans. We’ve left plenty of clear (and not-so-obvious) hints about kinks, secrets, and skeletons in the closet, so there’s still a lot more we want to explore
6. Making It Deep
Ultimately, we believe this is the only way to make a world and story truly deep and immersive. Sure, this approach has its downsides, but we think the positives far outweigh them. We really hope that the game has been worth the wait and that you understand where we’re coming from. It’s been 7 years of hard work, and we’re incredibly grateful for your support.
Once again, thank you all so much for your support,
Without you, none of this would be possible,
Love,
-The Taffy Tales Team
