I downloaded the game and the christmas special and it was an instant delete when I got to the part where you had to pay for animated scenes. If a game is good it will sell itself. When you put up a pay wall your pushing away players and support in my opinion. Good luck with the game dev. If this changes I'd be happy to come back and support.

I'm sorry you feel this way.

I just feel like it's important to put a price on your work. You wouldn't believe how much I invested in my game, wether it's time, energy, or money. I just feel like people who enjoy my game should know that financial support is important in order to keep me working 10 to 12 hours a day, every single day of the week like I've been doing for the past 9 months.

I know I'm not the only dev selling his game with animated scenes.
I don't have the same reach as other devs do, and so I still thought it'd be a good idea to give you guys a free version of what I sell.
I've delivered a huge first update for my game which is totally free, because I was new on the scene.
Now, I estimate that my work is worth something, and it is why I included animated scenes in the premium version only.

If you don't like it, I'm sorry, and Ithank you for wishing me good luck.

But hey, if you're in it for the animations only and don't want to reward the dev who's working countless hours on his game, check out Misterdoktor Pornhub channel, he does great gameplays on those games.

430 pics (on the free version) wasted for a imo useless christmas episode with no use for the story - instead of 430 (+) pics for the story ... and worse: now we have to wait looonger for the real story update ... I would not complain if this christmas episode were at least integrated into the story ... but nope ... soooo, thanks for nothing ... (n)

Hey, if you follow me on Patreon, my dev updates were public up to a certain point and I have said a week after releasing v0.2 that v0.3 will be coming mid-february, and I'm nowhere near late in the development of this update :)

I thought it'd be a great idea to create a standalone game in the christmas spirit.

Holidays specials are always kind of a risk. On the one hand they can be a fun and lighthearted side story to the main game. On the other hand, it can anger some of the paying players that time was diverted from the main game for something superfluous especially if the main game ends on a cliffhanger of sorts before work on this began.

Not saying that's what you did. Also, you did the right thing and made it a separate download. I still cringe thinking about old playthroughs of Dreams of Desire where the Holiday content was hardcoded into the game and interrupted everything.

Well, as I said, I developped it in 2 weeks and a half, and then you can add another week on top of that in order to photoshop and add the images in the script in the game, add the music and everything.

So yeah not even a month, and since I work like a maniac, I'm not even delayed in v0.3 which has always been planned to be released mid-february.

I guess I just hoped people would enjoy this and think "Wow, he's improved, can't wait for v0.3 !"

Wait are you SERIOUS?!?!?! The whole premise screamed harem, 'living with three girls', then shows romantic moments with said girls, all living like they are in a relationship and now we find out it is not harem?!?!?

Weeeeell ... it's in the first 50 lines of the game, you're telling the story of the girl you end up with :) Between four Li's.
But along the way, you can have sex with other second characters, should you make the right decisions.

Except, who knows if this guy is supporting you, so don't pay attention to that.

It was a mistake on my end, it's not a harem game :)

... and with this statement it´s out of the race ... at least for me ...

personal opinion:
I simply cant stand it if a dev gives the player a bunch of hot locking girls who all are in their own way awesome, just to limit the player to only one of them ... it´s a game - not real life - why also not make use of this and give the player ingame what he cant get IRL ... I personaly play games to escape the real world (for a limited time) - to recharge my fun-meter ... if you know what I mean ;) ...
and then it doesnt matter if the game is awesome developed with great graphics and great features ... if I dont like it I dont enjoy it ... no joy = no play = and certainly no (monetary) support --> simple as that ....

good luck for your project MisterMaya ... I´m out
