Surely there are gonna be more tentacle scenes with Danya, right? I'd be disappointed if Brahve gets most of the tentacle actions.

Hey, I like what you're doing! The game looks pretty nice, both in art, plot, and tentacle play; I haven't gotten around to trying it yet, so I can't give a detailed review, but I'm completely okay with what's said to be provided.

I have my preferences and kinks, and though it's not top on the list, gay and/or tentacle is just a few of them. I love tentacles, just because it's a lot more dicks, and funny looking, wiggly ones, at that! *Chef Kiss* :whistle:

I was okay with the stereotypical tentacle monsters raping Japanese girls, but then I stumbled onto tentacle on male by accident. I think my first love for tentacle on male was Venomess (Spider-Man) by Tracy Scops, which didn't even really have tentacles in it (more goopy "tendrils"), and I've gone down a spiral of Spider-Man x Venom fan porn, becomes it perfectly married my love of Spider-Man and Tentacles into a kink I didn't even know I needed.

Now, I heavily prefer tentacle x male, than with anyone else, and particularly if the tentacle is/used by a "person". "Anthropomorphic" tentacle monsters are where its at for me, as I like couples including tentacles in their sex (either via gear, or their actual appendages); the rape bit is just a whole 'nother kink of mine (one of, if not, my favorite) that joins the fun of monster with horror.

Keep doing what you're doing, though, you're making something beautiful, here, I'm not complaining!
I-i found a comrade in arms who had fallen to this kinkhole the exact same way of stumbling upon tentacle x male :ROFLMAO: the spiderman x venom is on point :LOL:

I was quite surprised when someone on our Discord server showed us a website where you can play online for "free", only to find The Symbiant's extended demo in there (version 0.4.1), that was ripped off F95 and not off the "normal way" on itch.

Further research on google showed me a myriad of websites offering beta builds of The Symbiant, again taken off F95 and not anywhere else. I wish they at least linked to the games' official websites or didn't delete my comment with a link, but oh well.

There was that one website offering the full version for free. I was like, damn, I'm the one coding the game and even I don't have the full version on my PC right now!

Not sure which websites you are talking about, but I'd be very careful, those sites are scammy like either provide Virus Injected downloads, or Infectious adverts.
Genuine pirate sites will at least credit the creator, and stay true to what has being offered.

Tho I'm a bit curious, how do you know they are from F95? Are you providing a special version only for F95?
(I don't doubt tho as F95 is to my knowledge by far the easiest / most convenient place to freely get legit pirate porn games.

Oh no, why do gay games always have to have the cutest green alien sheep girls in it?

You guessed right: I provide a special version for F95. Any SMB build that has an "X" in their version number comes from F95 and nowhere else. Don't worry though: the F95 version does not remove any content, though it will always be a version or two behind the "legit" Patreon builds that I update almost weekly. That is, unless a paying patron decides to upload these newer builds themself here.

Let me guess: you would like for Danya to be able to top exclusively. I am afraid that is not possible. The Symbiant is all about Brahve and Danya seeking new experiences that will bring them closer together, and that means topping or bottoming when the time is right.

Hey, glad you like it! If you'd like to enter the world of BL games, I could suggest a few games if you want. Been playing them for 10 years now.

Right now the most popular BL games are the ones created by the circle Nitro+Chiral, which is the BL branch of Nitroplus (Saya no Uta, Muramasa, Totono...). And the most popular of THEIR game is , a cyberpunk game with quirky characters and the usual craziness and very whacky bad endings. Their second most popular but older game is , which is the game that introduced me to BL games and that I still hold in high esteem.

If you prefer the protagonist to be a top, there are PaRade's games: and , which have similarly dark but critically-acclaimed storylines. Top protagonists remain a rarity in BL games, at least Japanese ones.

More recently, a developer making plot-heavy games with good writing gained popularity in the west: Adelta, who made and . Hashihime in particular is my favorite BL game ever due to its quality writing and crazy story.

Japanese BL games tend to be significantly darker and longer than their Western counterpart, which only really started taking off a few years ago. Rape is much less common in Western games too, due to fear of backlash from a small but very vocal minority. If for whatever reason you rather avoid rape and gore, then Western games are safer.

For Western games there is , a funny and simple story about a college student doing his coming-out to his friend and where you can pursue a good variety of men. If you want wholesome stories and dig that kind of art, made a bunch of free and paid games featuring gay characters with monsters.

Other popular games include and , which are more sex-oriented with solid art. Both creators of these games are very popular Southeast Asian artists with a cult following.

I don't know your tastes, but I hope it helps!

Oh, tu parles français ? Je suis français et j'ai traduit la démo. Pas le temps de traduire le reste actuellement car je dois finir de coder le jeu, mais on compte sortir une version complète française d'ici à l'année prochaine.

------------------------

Oh, you speak French? I'm French actually and I translated the demo. I don't have time to translate the rest of the game as I'm busy coding it right now, but we're planning and having a complete French version next year.

Better than I expected, thought it would be some boring "here's this person and you're forced to date/fall in love with this person" but then you have the creature to split it up. (although i'm sure it'll probably end in a three-way probably or a bad-end with Brahve maybe) Hopefully the next part is released, more people need to try this game out.

My Chinese friend showed me that Chinese forum where they upload BL comics, manga, games and CGs. There was a forum thread of The Symbiant, just like this one.

Except they uploaded version 0.3.3s, which is the current Steam demo. The Steam demo!!! With no tentacles and fade-to-black in lieu of dick shows! I took personal offense and signed up to that forum in hope to upload a nice and uncensored version for them, complete with the 18+ CG pack. I did not expect their rank system to be so complex, where each subforum has its own restrictions. I can't even reply to that Symbiant thread because I don't have the permissions. Bummer.

Could have avoided this if they knew itchio.
