I appreciate everyone's feedback on v0.2 and the game in general. The majority of it has been very positive and I'm glad that people are enjoying it and the new content in v0.2. But I also welcome any and all suggestions and criticism for me to take into consideration. The best place to give feedback and ask questions is still through discord which is available to everyone through Subscribestar even for the free follower tier. With that said, I wanted to take the opportunity here to address some of the most commonly asked questions and clarify a bit of my design intentions for the game going forward. Also, I don't respond to every post in this thread (because I don't want to fill the thread with my posts), but I do read every single post.
First, to answer by far the most common question I get: Yes the game will have pregnancy. What kind of a goblin game doesn't want to have pregnancy? However, pregnancy is still a ways off since it is one of the major parts of the plot that will be resolved toward the end of the story. After the end of the game, Kretch won't be the last goblin anymore, I promise.
The Baron's wife and daughter will be in the harem, but the progression for them will work differently than the normal harem girls. Laura/Wendy and Melanie will have more content in the future. I plan to have smaller updates down the line that just add more harem scenes to girls that have already been in the game. The first one of these will be after v0.3 and will add a few additional harem scenes for Laura, Wendy, Melanie and Cindy.
Now for the gameplay. From the very beginning my goal with the gameplay was to be simple but not brainless. Patience and forethought are rewarded and recklessness isn't. That doesn't mean I want it to be grindy. Generally speaking, exploration is the way to find sex scenes AND to progress the game. Gold is plentiful and respawns. Hopefully with how fast Kretch moves the city doesn't feel overwhelmingly big. Don't expect any major overhauls on this front, but you will get additional tools as you progress.
I don't want to add overly convoluted mechanics going forward, the game will remain about as complex as it currently is, but you will have more tools for stealth, avoiding guards, and traversing the city as more girls join the harem. The thugs to reduce guards for a night from Melanie's arc and the rope from Laura's arc are the first examples of this. There will be a temporary invisibility cloak and a fast travel system between certain places in each district as examples of other ones. Kretch will also eventually have his own house in the city where all of his harem girls can congregate in one place so they can be enjoyed without having to run around the city. In an early dev build that the public never I saw actually had visible vision cones for the guards enabled but it made the game way too easy and with multiple guards on screen it would fill the screen with these big ugly vision cones moving all over the place. It seemed to detract more from the experience than it added.
Another question I've seen was about animations. There are no animations planned for the future for this game. There are two main reasons for this. First, I am not an animator, I have literally zero experience animating so any animations I would make would be mediocre at best. In contrast, I have thousands of hours in Daz rendering still images. I'd rather play to my strengths. The second reason is it would take probably 10x the time to make an animation as one scene in the game right now. I don't want to spend two months on an update for it to have a single 3 second loop as new content. The adult content is the game's primary focus which is why each major update has around 10 new scenes to enjoy.
The last thing that came up in private messages was why Subscribestar over Patreon. A few people told me they wanted to support the game, but only if it was on Patreon. To be honest, I didn't think it would matter (I see both platforms as more or less the same). The reason I originally went with Subscribestar was because I was worried that the threesome scene with Laura/Wendy would eventually be flagged as against Patreon TOS for incest even though they don't really interact together sexually in that scene. Either way, I may start a Patreon alongside Subscribestar in the near future, but if I do, the rewards for both platforms will be the exact same for the same price.
That's a big enough wall of text for now. A bugfix/quality of life/polish update will be coming probably on Friday and will have another intro scene for the next character kinda like I did for Isabella in v0.1.1. I hope you all have a good rest of your weekend.
