Are any of the lords of compression going to work this one down? Thanks
'tis only a demo but alas, here you go:

The Intoxicating Flavor [v0.2.4 Demo] (192 MB)

lossy compression was used, so the image quality is slightly worse than the original

@muttdoggy my man, can you update the OP? thanks

Just read the wall of text about the whole saga on making this game, I'm legitimately really glad to see that everything is working out, even though all was on the brink of hopelessness many times. This is one of the most interesting games on the site right now, very interesting character development, with a story that you actually gets curious to see what the fuck is going on, without completely throwing sexyness out of the window.

Thanks! About the past, about the present, about the future.
First, I want to thank one person. When my video card broke down, and I sat and wondered where to get money to buy an RTX 2070, a man came in and gave me $ 200! Moreover, it was so unexpected that I did not even have time to thank him! When I could thank him, he asked if I had enough money for the video card. I replied that yes, the rest I will save on food. And with this thought, I went to sleep. But I didn’t have time to go to bed when the message “I rather you eat normal and do better work.” And another $ 150! Only 350 $! Can you believe it? I'm still not! In general, I wanted to say thanks to him for helping me at the right moment. He asked not to say his name, but he knows that I am grateful to him.
The second person to whom I want to say thanks for the fact that he appeared very on time is Furuichi Imadori. He appeared very much in time, when the motivation was almost at zero and he brought me back into operation! I will tell about it below.
Another person who always appears very on time is mihonoid. Thank you for not leaving me, but on the contrary helped in difficult times!
Thanks also to Ion for being on time. :)
I would like to express one more gratitude to a person who has long been not my patron, but his help gave me a lot in due time. This is David Wilson. This is my first $20 Patreon. Thanks to him, in the first month I earned $27, not $7, which did not allow me to bury the game due to the lack of resources for translation. He also came up with a name for a beauty with freckles! Which is also very important!
About the past.

I decided to start making my game in July 2017. I have been preparing for a long time and learned to work with Daz Studio. And by the end of 2017, I prepared version 0.1 for the RPG MAKER. The game was called "On the beach". It was an ordinary porn game. And the plot was there as an excuse for porn, but by the time version 0.1 was ready, I already hated it. Stupid dialogues, stupid characters, stupid plot. I did not understand why I do it at all. And then I saw the inscription Adult-game, not Porn-game, and I thought that it was possible to make a game with a more or less normal plot. I do not claim the laurels of the writer, but I wanted to do that more than “Wow! This is my mother's tits! That would be to suck them. (Sorry) By the way, I don’t consider such games to be bad, they perform their function perfectly well, but I wanted something different. So I took a bunch of books about writing, watched a lot of lectures on this topic and started writing. So the game “The Intoxicating Flavor” appeared. The game is probably not great, I myself see a lot of problems in it. Both in history and in the game itself. (Someday I will fix them!) But I like to do it and communicate with people who like it too.
The first version of the game was released in May 2018 (11 months have passed since I decided to make the game), and went mostly unnoticed. Everything seemed to say that the game is not bad, but it did not cause anyone to delight. I already realized that the game would never become popular. I basically did not care, but I was confused by the cost of translating the game. The game clearly did not bring so much money to cover the translation. As I said without the help of the user under the nickname "David Wilson", I would not be able to continue the release of the game. Then there were a lot of difficulties, you can read about them in the posts themselves. I did not hide anything.
In December, I decided to take stock of the year and, to be honest, I was very upset. I spent about 1500-2000 hours on the game and was able to save only $ 450 for all the time. (At that time.) Let me remind you, I have been learning how to make a game for a year and a half. At that moment I lost a lot in motivation. Some friends said that I was just wasting my time, and I began to think that they were right. But Furuichi Imadori appeared, who became my first $ 40 Patreon. Although I tried to dissuade him! And I thought that if someone is ready to support my game so strongly, then I cannot leave it. Long thought what to do to speed up the release of updates. That is why I have so few patrons, I rarely release updates. So I decided to release the game in the resolution of 1280x720 and deliberately degrade the quality of the picture, and when I save up a new computer, I will redo everything. I wanted to start doing this with version 0.2.6.
When the video card died, I decided that ITS ALL! I can not anymore. I have already written many times, but I repeat. My computer can't handle the big scenes in DAZ. Each action takes place with a delay of 2 seconds. If I move something carefully, then the probability is high that the program will freeze and the model will fly off the edge of the screen, and so every 20-30 seconds. When I realized that I would have to give everything that I had save on the video card for all the time, and this would not be the best of them. And then I have to save the year to the new computer again, I gave up.
About the present.

But there was just a bunch of people who said: “Where are you going to go?”:) and began to help!
Now I have a top video card. (Except RTX 2080ti, this crap costs $ 1500 !!!).
Yes, I still need to save a year on a new computer, but I already have a tool to work better, and this is worth a lot!
After buying the video card, I had $ 110 left, and decided to buy a few things in Daz Shop that I really need, since I was so lucky this month. I spent $ 55, and then I remembered that I still need to transfer updates! :-) Lucky for me, I got two more patrons $ 20 and $ 10! Thank you guys! Now should be enough.
About future!
Now I am going to save to a new computer.
I need about $ 1100. I think it will take about 6-9 months. (If nothing happens) I now have $ 400 (Wow!) per month. But somewhere 20-25% will leave at the beginning of the month. It always happens. Maybe more, many just wanted to help once. Each month adds about $ 30. If you deduct money for transfer, it turns out $ 100-150 per month. So yes, 6-9 months. But now it will be much easier! A new video card will help me in this.
I re-read and understood that the post sounds like nagging ... I hope that I am mistaken, I just wanted to say thank you. And explain why your help was so important.
Once again, thanks for all the support!


Here is such a post for 1000 words. Maybe someone even read to the end. Put "Like" if you could! :)
Sorry for the translation, I know it is terrible.
720p is good enough quality, you should stick to that!

Uhhhh so it went from 2.0 to 2.4 but it only has 42 new images ? Am I missing something here ? I hope I am because it would be very disappointing if after waiting for so long it only had 42 new images.

one thing that would fix this game up a bit more is..dump all those damn single choice choices..they are redundant crap that make no sense and serve no purpose..lol....its a lameass trope to make the player feel like he's playing..he is not..he is clicking a no choice choice..get rid of that and i'll think more highly of this game.

Indeed, I've been rather eager to for the update to pop up too :p
I just really love the mystery setting in the story, plus it definitely helps that the ladies are delicious, haha :p

That's good, I was afraid it would be another "finished in the blink of an eye update" after what felt like waiting for an eternity.

No it seemed just like 42 images to me ... 3 minutes of game-play which were all in one flashback background conversation (except for the final image), no real progression in the story. Perhaps the festive season got in the way.

Not the most content but i guess its still a ok amount compared to most other games.
Still waiting for the moment where Katie and Michael finally get it going on.
