Hello all! For all the people following this thread, we really appreciate it. We are about to release Chapter 5 on our soon. Maybe in the next day or two. We ask those that like our game to please support us. If you can't. That's fine, we'll still release the game eventually on F95zone, but we're really trying to get traction for our game going.

We decided to do this because we are both trying to support this hobby in the way we can, while also getting our creative pursuits satisfied as well.

However, we also thought it was a good idea to give a teaser/demo of the new chapter/update to those on F95zone. We know some people will think of this as a negative, but we really wish to share a part of the game, even if you can't afford to get it from the .

So we're gonna share a portion of the new update, so you can at least get a sneak peak of the game. This is more of a demo than anything else. The last thing we wanna do is locked/paywalled content, cause I hate that too. We just want to give a preview. Remember, we will eventually release this to F95zone, but we just want to have an open and honest incentive to join us. I personally have always thought we should be transparent with our intentions. So hopefully, the story, the renders and the characters we are presenting resonate with everyone.

Thank you for hearing us out. Please consider supporting us. We welcome you with open arms. Our Chapter 5 is really good. We worked hard to get it out much faster than before and we think we found our footing. The only thing to note is that since we've changed the coding and added more options and relationship points, the saves are broken. We expected this in Chapter 4, but we committed to it in Chapter 5. So we apologize for that, but it was a necessary evil to give more updates and variables for the future.

Thank you for those that choose to join us! Have a fantastic day!

If this version of Chapter 5 is a demo and not the full chapter, I would suggest changing the name of the file on the front page. People are going to download it, play it, think that was all there was to it and probably never play the full Chapter 5 when it is lowered in price on Patreon or fully released on F95.

you should also state in the OP (or in changelog at least) that old saves arent working.

Don't know what to think of this update since it's a blink and that new "chapter 5" is done.
Also the same with the saves, none worked.

Well, we have another dev trying a paywalled release (calling it demo/preview is only a nice excuse). We will see how the croud is liking that...

Aaaaaand there goes another promising game onto blacklist.

F95 is NOT an advertising site. Either full version, or none. Guess it's none over here. Enough other games to follow.
(imho there should be a rule against Demo/promo/advertising versions on F95)

PS:
I can understand when devs don't release content over here themself because they want to monetarize (we do the same btw).
BUT - IF - just saying IF a dev releases content over here himself, it should be the full content, and not only advertising and teasing.

Hopefully a true hero leaks the full version.

I guess this should have been an attempt to gain supporters. As stated already F95zone is NOT A SITE FOR PAYWALLED ADVERTISING. This will completely backfire. Calling that a demo or something else only makes it worse.

Well, for me it did exactly the opposite of what was probably intended. Unwatched from now on.

I don't know why devs do this to themselves.

I get wanting to make money but as i've pointed out many, many, many times now this isn't a career option. Sure some devs make bank but they either built that up over time or got lucky.

It takes time to build a decent player base and the best way to do that is to build trust with those you already have and yet I see devs fuck this up time and again trying to chase the money and it never works.

As soon as you do something that turns off the fanbase your chances of building up are screwed. There is no shortcuts here, you either put in the work and build up naturally or rush in and damage your chances.

I really enjoyed this game, I had high hopes in it building up into something great.

You even said you know people don't like this paywalling practice yet you went and did it anyway.

All I can say now is good luck, you're gonna need it but I don't like your chances.

Man, talk about shooting yourself in the foot right out of the gate. I find it sad but it seems some devs need to learn from making the same identical mistakes other devs made. As Avaron1974 said very clearly, as soon as you do something that turns off the fanbase your chances of building up are pretty much screwed. It's sad to see something with potential (apart from the constant and annoying laughing audio) being jeopardized right from the start because I really enjoyed playing the demo. All I can do is wish good luck to the dev(s) and hope things turn out the way you hope.

I understand wanting to make money out of your work, but this is absolutely NOT the right place to try to peddle a paywalled version of your game. This is NOT an advertisement website.

I don't get why so many devs try this. This will have the exact opposite effect to what you're hoping: you'll end up review bombed, and a lot of people here will lose interest.

If you look at the all the games that have huge Patreon support here, you'll notice that they all started with constant and consistent updates, and no paywall. They only start doing the delayed free updates after they have built a large following.

So, you might wanna reconsider your decision to paywall your game. You'll be much better off.
