Just a bug report, neither version offered loads on Waterfox, keeps crashing. Doesn't restore either, just refreshes into a blank page. On the latest version too.

I'm afraid you will have to use a different browser. I recommend google chrome.

Being a dom. I want to implement it via a separate start scenario. In one setting the game plays as is, in the other you are on a crusade to tame the stars and make your harem.
Thank you for clarifying. <3


Another unsubscription wave XD I wish I wasn't talentless.

I wouldn't take unsubscription waves personal. I know they suck. I think this project is awesome (LezDom seems to be rare). And I think the work you do is great, I wouldn't call you talentless at all.

Thanks! It sucks because the engine I'm working with is expensive for me, and every time I would think the channel will grow it snaps back to where it was or even below. And I keep working at my projects all the time like a lunatic.

Why do you think that I'm not talentless btw? If you look through the comment section it's just people dissing the title left and right. I even had posts on my Patreon where I asked how is the update and nobody even answered xd

Many times subscriptions simply expire and are not renewed immediately, yes, some can cancel them, but others have to renew them manually.

To compare, it is better to look at the same day of each month, such as the 1st of each month or the 10th of each month, rather than the changes from day to day :WeSmart:.

When this happens they never return. Honestly I don't know what to do at this point. I think the conversion to daz3d could the dream, you have your Normandy, you can travel to different planets and fuck things up, then have lots of bondage sex both as a dominant and a sub. And everybody just leaves xd And if everybody leaves then I can't buy the assets and I'm back to square one.

I didn't even have a single person who subscribed since the update. And I went for a system where I only have a couple big updates a year. I so don't want to be me.

I think you just need to farm more followers because I've seen that almost 37% of your followers are paid subscribers. Usually most of the paid subscribers are between 8% and 15% of the total, even though they have many more followers in total.

But what do I do? I work on the games every day. I spend every penny I can spare. And nobody cares. And there isn't a single fucking thing I can do. Every time I have an idea. And then it fails. Then I have a new idea. Then that fails. It's like a fucking comedy at this point.

I opened a poll about stopping the conversion on Patreon. The way i set up the channel is that I only have a few updates, so it increases when you make the update and then in decreases. Except that i was hit with an unsubscription wave and the amount of new subscribers I had from the update was zero. So now I'm not sure how I could cover the costs. It's my mistake in a way because I had around a 100 for six months for now and I thought it would either stay or become larger. I just don't want to be me. I don't want to be so untalented.

I've been following this since inception, I like the concept and it jives with what I like - but even now it still has the same problems. And seemingly you didn't take much on board about the styling.

- I'm seemingly now thrown into the story with no background or guidance on where or what to do except a mission tab on the left that I'm not told about.

- Dozens of options with no guidance. I slept for a night and what? The VR I'm just clicking with a stationery option, I clicked about six times to be spammed with the same screen before getting a bad end now I'm back. What happened? Why am I doing any of this? I look at my Starfund account, turns out I'm doing a scam about cancer. And I can post nudes which gives me corruption. Okay, maybe I'll get a nice scene.

- Stats. What do those stats do? Why are they there? Okay some are self explanatory - but health? Is there a combat system? Corruption? Standing? What is happening?

- The entire UI is still basic, inconsistent, default and - sorry to harsh - complete shit. Almost no work has gone into the frontend stuff. Not even sounds, no music, no effects, absolutely nothing.

- Single pictures followed by walls of text that hurts my eyeballs and click, click, click for nothing. I'm clicking an option and seeing the same damn picture.

- I hate the new pictures, I hate DAZN or whatever, I think 95% of games look like shit (and old as fuck) with them - I liked the AI stuff - it is really jaring to see the hot red head AI then its a soulless looking DAZN doll. If you're smart and decent with photoshop, you could also use real porn. And it now appears like there is a mix of the DAZN and AI - which makes DAZN look like shit. I have no idea what you're spending money on but there are dozens of ways to generate decent AI stuff without paying (assuming you have a decent computer).

Maybe there's something else but I downloaded 1.2gb and got thrust into a game with idea what to do with no direction. I'm not sure why you think a significant number of people are going to pay for this in the state it is in - you have to make it look good and readable. You don't even need, just keep a consistent theme, styling and colours. Work on the HTML, CSS, Javascript etc.

Almost every successful twine game where you can make a bit of money has at the very least a good UI rather than the default one with almost no styling or formatting. To me, it seems you're motivated by making money rather than making a project you personally enjoy and hoping others do.

I don't know why people keep bringing up money. I've been working on this since 2023 January and I had no financial gains. Midjourney has a fee of $30, plus I'm spending a $100 a month on daz3d items at the least. in comparison I have to pay one third of the revenue as tax, so the most I ever got was $70. If you make a project for money and you don't get anything, you just leave it.

If you're smart and decent with photoshop, you could also use real porn.
I don't want to go to prison over this thank you. You can say that I don't love the project enough because of that, but I don't think you would want to do anything that involves the risk of prison as a past time activity either.

I want to go 100% daz3d at this point. This might not be he direction you want this to go, but you are right about a consistent theme. There are countless successful artists with daz3d images, and I like the fact that once I bought something it's mine and I can use it however many times I want. I hate working with the AI. The image with Elena that you referred to took hundreds of generations to make because the AI has a tendency to fuck up every picture in every way that is possible before a miracle happens. I think ai does have a cost element, civiai for instance was free, but now you have to spend $5 per roughly a hundred generations. So the artists who use it probably spend more than they gain.

At this point I'm getting endless complaints about everything. I don't hate it, I like it the way it is, but I always had this concept that if I bring it closer to expectations that could always benefit me. I'm following other creators and when something is being brought up they always take note. Except for me everything is being brought up all the time and every time I address something ten other issues occur. I guess it's like in SGA when they find the ancient ship and there so many things bad that the ship dies in like two minutes in combat because everytime Rodney fixed an issue ten others occurred. Anyways, I'm a huge stargate fan, and this just came out of me. :D

In one of the previous comment you stated that the renders look decent. In this one you hate them. This happened with the dialogue boxes too, because in one instance you said that you are not fun of them, and in the next they are essential. But that's my problem in a way. I'm not someone who should develop games. I don't have the talent. I envy other creators because I like creating but this is just a dream for me that can never come true. I have endless towards every part of my project. Sometimes purely criticism and nothing else, sometimes a sentence like "it was good" and it gets back to complaints again. I spend $1200 on graphic assets at the least, and in one comment its great, the next it is hated. And I can't have multiple art styles there just isn't a way for me to facilitate it. On the other hand the player is always right, so I have zero idea what to do about these.

You are the one whining about money my man, I am pointing out that you shouldn't it makes you look like you're making these games for money.

There isn't a single person in prison over usage of images - there are very successful developers who have used and still use them. You will not go to prison over free images you can find on the internet, nor AI. There are dozens of HTML games that use free porn, you just have to be smart about not broadcasting it or selling it.

At this point I'm getting endless complaints about everything.
Just do what you want to do dude instead of chasing the golden goose.

I was commenting on what you were going for, but I think they look absolutely horrible next to the AI that is still there. If its just that, then it's not too bad. I personally would not play games with DAZN renders, I like AI, drawn art, real porn (if done properly). That's me personally. I don't know many HTML games that are a success with DAZN because its mostly VNs or RPG games. But, I'm sorry to say, at the moment there is nothing about these games. I'm not even sure why you got rid of text box dialogue - why did you put it in if you were not gonna use it? If you're not gonna use it, then at the very very least use CSS styling for the dialogue. I come back and they still have the same fundamental problems, you're aiming for the stars when you haven't even got to the moon.

I mean, look at this - what is the purpose of this? And the actual combat is just "click here and health goes down". It's half baked at best. You want your gameplay to revolve around battle systems? Then spend the time required to code one out and look at the many good examples of them throughout the Twine-verse. You want your gameplay to revolve around multiple choice? Then focus on that. Make a story you want to write and gameplay you want, follow the game that inspired you and just rip it off. Do some HTML/CSS, look up macros etc etc.

It's just bad. And being all "woe is me, I have no talent" is bullshit - this isn't an anime where you magically have talent, people start off from the bottom, they look at another game or engine and think "thats cool, how do I do that" then they either google it, ask the devs or look into the code of the game. It's been a year since you started putting the games out and there's been almost no improvement to the design or how the story is played out from my view.

At the very least, I'd expect to see improvements in UI - fonts, colours, CSS - there are Twine/HTML games from ten years ago that look better than this. If you want to make real money doing this, then you need more. I could spend a couple of hours on this in CSS and make it look infinitely better by just adding UI elements and background colours.
