If he did hire a PR person like you suggest, then everyone would start pulling out the "PR speak" or "corpo speak" cards and accuse the developer of not being truthful or transparent whenever they make announcements.

In game development, communicating with your audience is damned if you do and damned if you don't.
I get that, I work in the gaming industry as well, but responses like these are better off not said at all. Especially when the response was inaccurate at best. It is what it is. They will still get their money so they don't care at the end of the day. I very clearly struck a nerve, which some would associate with guilt, so its likely the dev wants to get story mode update more but likely something is holding them back. Transparency is better than emotionally imbalanced responses to what I would consider very real criticism. As I said, search the thread, I am far from the only person to say this. And the devs rarely ever responded to such questions.

Acting professional is a sign of emotional intelligence as well as a visual commitment to making a good product. I was a Patron, and this "story updates" when mentioned are sparse and vague. I also searched the thread here as the dev suggested and the latest actual reply to something like this was well over a year ago. I am far from alone with this concern. If the dev gets emotional over this, its a sign that I struck a nerve, or a sign that they are in the wrong business and should probably hire a PR person to handle this for them.
Ive acted professionally often enough on this platform. Sometimes I just wanna be funny. If you get butthurt because I called you out thats not something I can take responsiblity for. Man people are getting sensitive these days.

Also get off your high horse will ya, you are talking to me on a pirate forum claiming to be a supporter. If you were really genuine you could have messaged me on patreon, twitter, discord or per email with your, knowing Im much more active and likely to respond there. But you didnt. So dont even think your little smokescreen worked on me here.

Yeah, I sent two messages and never heard back. That is why I am here. I also do not use Discord so perhaps I would have recieved a response if I tried there. If you want screenshots and receipts I have them.

I am also here because I play games before I support them. Its not that hard to understand. You are quite the emotional, paranoid person (smokescreen LOL what). I suggest you take your own advice.

Best of luck. I know game dev is stressful and a ton of work, but at the end of the day you are making content for your community, try to realize if people are craving story content they must enjoy your game.

Shit I'd even help write story for you for free if it helps move along this process.

Also nah, you didn't call anyone out darling, but good attempt.

Hey no problem mate, sometimes stuff can go under. Sorry if my snappy remark hurt you (im serious, didnt mean to offend). I just thought the tone here would allow for such funny replies without causing a meltdown. Ill try to consider that next time.

Yes we are making a game for our community, and we listen to feedback everywhere, patreon, email, twitter, discord, even here which technically I dont even have to interact in, but I do because many people do have very useful constructive feedback and I value such input.

So anyway to give you your answer, yes we are focusing on story content, and a first set of content will be released in the near future.
You can read more about that in these publicly available posts on patreon.




And some posts about the game lore without spoilering too much of the main story:










Let me know if you have any other questions for me :)

Thanks, I appreciate it! I will look back over those. I likely came off a bit too strong with my original comment in the first place so no harm done. You guys are making one of the better NSFW games out there right now, so I respect the hard work and the drive for perfection. And I should have realized you were just being playful, autism makes for awkward exchanges like this so that is my bad.

And again, if you do need more writers, I'd be willing to help out. I don't want to give my identify away here too much but I am a writer and marketer for a huge indie project right now with some pretty big names in our studio.

Either way, I appreciate the genuine response. Hopefully I wasn't too much of a dick.

AdeptusSteve I love the snappy remarks mate. Keep 'em up! Atleast that way we know we talk with a genuine person. Cut all the HR/PR crap. How are we demanding 'business' responses on a f*cking porn forum!? Although it's sometimes hard to see through sarcasm and other types of humour, in no way should that stop someone from doing their thing.

Btw, love your stuff.

Sincerely,

Another anonymous gollem;)

question: i see that the legs are moving (i know you disassemble the mesh) , can you explain more on how you did it and could you please share the scene
<3
so for the legs, I made 2 transform events, and a toggle event, essentially animated the legs going up and down for the first transform, then made the legs to side to side for the second transform, using a toggle of the animation callout I was able to make it lift, move, lower, lift, move, lower. throw in a delay when it lowers so it stays there a bit before continues moving, I'll be able to share the asset later on when I get it all setup nicely

I'm not an alt lol but I can see what your saying :LOL:
picked a bad time to join ig
You never know, you might be my clone or something. Either way, most exchanges like this don't go this way, the site in itself tends to be pretty chill but I haven't posted much. The Radiant thread however though...

I hope we dont end up needing external writers but maybe im being naive. We will see how the first batch of quests ends up being recieved by the community. I hope it goes well. But in the end its a somewhat funny lighthearted game so I wouldnt expect Citizen Kane level writing. But we want to make it believable within its own cosmos at least and go from there.

Either way, I appreciate the genuine response. Hopefully I wasn't too much of a dick.
Nah youre very fine :) We managed to set things straight and get back in good terms. Thats sadly not always the case in here but therefore all the more wholesome and pleasant when it happens.
Cheers.

there must be somewhere people are sharing their scenes and worlds, it adds so much more re- playablity to the game and the regular place for sharing has been closed for ages now. Shall we make a discord if there isnt one already for sharing maps, props, collections, etc? its so frustrating browsing these threads for it
pay $2 on the patreon and you can access the official discord page, people share their content there, you can also look for some custom maps people have made before, unfortuantely this doesn't seem to be kept up to date anymore here

Played it a while ago, it had short "campaign" mission. I can't see it in newest build, is it hidden somewhere or was removed?
reading through their patreon updates is a good way to stay in the loop, campaign and existing map asstes are wiped as they introduced a new engine and are currently working on populating the actual final map of the game and they've said they will be releasing batches of quests in future updates, if you want a full game then wait till the full releasse which I belive they expect to be in about a year, until then you can try making your own quests with the sandox or make other stuff like myself

If you do need external writers, don't get too many as having too many writers in my experience is like having too many chefs in the kitchen. Also make them sign NDAs for sure! I am sure you know what you are doing though.
