HTML Wireburn [v0.2.5 DEMO] [VGS Studios]

[Sin-X]

I have given something valuable to this community that has surpassed 100K downloads, I built ScrollTok. (8 day project)

On this note, I suggest taking into account new potential. I haven't played your previous game or even heard of you before now, so this demo is my first introduction to you and your work, and it doesn't exactly make me want to come back. To be clear, this is not me trying to be an ass I'm just quite blunt in how I say things and don't like to beat around the bush.

I'm not going to research you beforehand or look up your other game after the fact to see if this is worth coming back to. Like most people, I test it, I dislike it, I leave. Maybe I leave a few comments if I have nothing better to do XD

The point I'm trying to make is, you can't really just rely on your previous accolades, because to someone like me, they don't mean anything.

My advice would be with any new project, always try to set yourself up for success by giving the end user something to be interested in and excited about, give them a reason to return.

I believe my skills bring things to this community that have never existed prior because I have worked for Ubisoft, Electronic Arts and multiple corporations which are much larger and I will not list here.

I am at the top tier of my field, I have declined opportunities from Anthropic, Frontier and more companies to do what I want; for everyone's benefit including my own.

Kinda caviates off my previous point all great accolades, but without any proof, you're just some dude/chick on the internet telling me they did all these things and worked in all these places. I have no idea if it's true or not, given what most people say on the internet, 9/10 times, the person is blowing smoke out of their ass.

Best of luck regardless.

I started this studio with the intention to do both A and B.

The demo is absolutely purposefully vague as current paid members get full access, they are incredibly important to critiquing my every publishing.

I care about people's opinion's in alpha, not on launch.

Good to know however that you give absolutely zero fucks about optimizing an experience after it's deemed "launched" in your eyes. I suppose the ethics you'll have learned with "Ubisoft, Electronic Arts and multiple corporations which are much larger" have stuck. That said really - you expect anyone to believe that the maker of low effort HTML porn games (stolen real world porn is low effort, yes) has worked for multiple corporations valued at greater than $55 billion? And to take that as a valid argument about the value you bring to a... *checks notes* pirate porn game website.

That this game will guaranteed be better than what came before?
A greater reach here than itch? Reading between the lines all I see here is opportunistic assumptions that everyone here is a pay piggy for you.

I think I can smell shite. Yes, I can definitely smell shite.

Ah yes. Rather than be of this community you want to take of it and wrap it up in your own egotistical fantasies. Every word you type exposes you more and more.

You generated the content; yet this thread nor your prior game is marked as slop as all AI slop should be. In fact it's tagged as real porn; this one with it's eternal placeholders is tagged 3dcg. So which is it? AI slop or not. Or are you simply so confounded by English that you're attempting to say you convinced several models to pose for your free html porn game? Or that you purchased licenses to the content to create... a free html porn game? There's loss leaders and then there's just trying to sell the community a bridge.

If you are going to scam me at least do it honestly. The first step to that is being honest with yourself.

To dovetail off this AI idea, taking a look at the code itself kind of suggests that it was also written by AI. Specifically:

• Many polished, generic patterns and idioms (well‑structured CSS variables, utility functions like getRandom, setupVertices). AI often outputs these consistent idioms.
• Template placeholders used systematically (placehold.co images with templated text like POST ${img.id + 1}, and menu audio paths left as simple filenames). AI tends to use placeholders when it doesn’t have assets.
• Short, self‑contained story/dialogue snippets in storyData that read like synthetic examples rather than authored narrative.
• Very consistent naming and small helper functions (openModal, closeModal, updateUI) and near‑complete feature scaffolding — typical of generated starter projects.

Now i'm not one to bash anyone for using AI to write code. BUT when someone comes into a space and claims to be the 'top tier' of their field, while needing to use AI generated images, AI generated code, and/or real porn (which is just stolen media from content creators), WHILE asking for premium payment, saying its a premium product. And justifying it by pointing to a previous attempt at a game they made, which didnt seem to be viewed favorably, is pretty questionable behavior. That speaks volumes when it has to be said on a pirating website specializing in porn games.

I'm willing to go as far as put on a tin-foil hat and say that i'm not confident that even his responses aren't Chat-GPT coded.

This whole post is so bad, that i've been on this site for 6 years, and this is the first time i've ever felt compelled to make a response.

There are demos that say, "This creator has a lot of ideas, some talent and knows what they're doing, and maybe you should consider giving them money." And there are demos that say, "This creator may or may not have ideas, they may or may not have any talent, and they may or may not know what they're doing, but they sure want your money."

This is the latter, which usually suggests the creator doesn't know what they're doing.

To be fair, looking at the Patreon, this specific creator may simply be an idiot who thought releasing a really bad Alpha demo without clearly labeling it as an Alpha here and not long before they'll probably have a better one to sho w off, i.e. someone who'd get fired from an unpaid marketing internship within a day.

But judging by their arrogant responses to criticism here, they'd get fired from unpaid PR internships just as fast.

I guess there's still a chance they're some kind of coding idiot savant that couldn't look up social skills in a dictionary?

Man this thread is just brutal. The dev has come at this with the worst possible attitude. You generated a metric ton of bad will towards your project before it's even anything to look at.

Regarding the demo, it's nothingware. Sorry, but you press three buttons a few dozen times to gain stats, click a few empty squares to post pics on cyberpunkstagram or whatever and ... done.

That timer (useless, since it takes 2 minutes tops to max everything and hit the cut off age for the end of the demo) is right on top one of the stats bar, not very friendly in terms of UI.

This ain't it chief.

Thanks for the share

 

[VG Studios]

Thank you guys for playing! An improved demo with more chapters is on the way!

 

[Sneaky OwO]

Hmm so what i supposed to do?

 

[netuttki]

I worked extremely hard on the core game, with more content coming for it. I'm not one to make demo's, I don't like giving out my work for free, although I will take into consideration your frustration.

Then don't release a demo version. You don't have to and it's better to not release a demo than to release one that shows nothing of the game and turns off potential players.

Honestly, I would remove this.

This is not a demo this is an ad..

thats what demos are meant to be tho......

ty! dont let the negativity here get to you.... there's just so many games now that players have very high expectations

The purpose of a demo is to show functionality, features, and experience. The purpose of an ad is to promote, engage, and express value.

EDIT: Which I'm fine with for the record, calling something an advertisement isn't inherently negative. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how all the new AI driven visuals play out as devs and creators learn new tools; much better than continuing to use chopped up unrelated video clips. But there's gotta be SOMETHING though too.

Best possible answer, actually. Put up a demo with enough content to see if its worth backing, is the method to get said backing.
Don't go back and forth in the comments ever, you cannot possibly win that way.
