Thanks for your support.
Thanks for your support.
You really like the game, thanks!
Wow, thank you
You're crazy. Thank you!
Just to give team member access to all posts.
I feel if you want to support us, you should know a little more of what to expect.
Team
The team is me and Shazamify. Once hosting and process fees are paid for, we will split everything 50:50.
If the team grows, we will of course look at this split again.
Free Game
The porn I use is freely available to the public online and as such the game will always be free without any paywalled in-game features. If you choose to support us, you are supporting our time for developing and putting that porn into a story format. Truth be told, if all you want is the porn, then this game is probably not going to be your cup of tea. There are a LOT of scenes and characters in the game, but there are no full porn scenes. We use a handful of 15-30second clips at 800x450 per lewd scene. If there's an actress you really like in the game that you'd like to support, I'd say look up their OnlyFans or get yourself a subscription to TeamSkeet/NaughtyAmerica/Brazzers/whatever, rather than supporting this game.
Motivation
We are developing this game because we enjoy it. It is done in our spare time around our jobs. Even if nobody contributes, we will continue to work on this game. Therefore, if, for example, you are trying to decide between this and another game to support, and the other developer's primary income is their game, support them. We are not working on this with any intention to make a living, and anything we get is a welcome bonus.
Update Cycle
Generally speaking, there are two phases of development; story & substory.
The story phase focuses on moving the main story along, and while it may include optional/side content it generally only adds what interacts with the main story (such as unlocking additional options), or as part of any new features added. This phase lasts three to four months, and the final result is quite beefy.
The substory phase focuses primarily on side and flavor content, often expanding substories for some of the main/side characters. This phase is expected to last two to three months, but usually has multiple releases throughout. That said, we won't move on to the next story phase until we're happy all the particularly nasty bugs have been quashed. Up to now, this has seen five updates in each cycle.
That's not to say some substory content won't go into the story phase or vice versa, but it won't be the focus.
Road to v1.0
We intend there to be seven to nine story update phases in total, depending on whether diverging paths form separate updates or not. However, even after that, I don't intend to state the game is complete as such. V1.0 will be a complete story, but we will then go back, add more content to characters, maybe fix up earlier story points and add more divergence to substory content. The development cycle may be revised when we get to that point.
Truth be told, I have hesitated from adding a subscriber service previously as not to feel pressured on release dates etc, so hopefully this post puts everything out in the open, and you know exactly what to expect should you wish to support development.
0.4.0 Progress
So far I've worked primarily on the festival setup. Your previous actions and decisions will change what options are available. Such as adding people to lineup or building another stage. This is what I'm calling the preparation stage and it's entirely optional, but taking part will get you more lewds and better story results.
I haven't finished the festival preparation, I've done about half of it and there's no UI for it yet. But honestly, I was losing a little motivation as it was feeling stagnant not pushing toward the story. I therefore decided to start working on day 1 of the festival and will go back to the prep in chunks.
The festival will be choice-driven similar to New Eden, though not quite so large. Right now on Day 1 before the festival officially opens there are three 'things' you can do, but time only allows for two. Though, as with New Eden, there will be ways to get some of the content (and any of the lewds) in the future.
You also have to manage yours and Meriya's horny levels. Given the large increase of people coming here to the hub, both of you are gradually having your senses overloaded. If you don't get a release every now and again, your judgement may be clouded when it comes to decision making. Given how frequently MC bangs his harem, this shouldn't be too much of a hassle, and it's really just down to choosing when. If you edge it too much Duvessa will arrive when you're unable to think clearly.
The right sidebar during the festival is different as a result, showing the current stats, how horny you and Meriya are and what events are at the various festival locations. An example is here: https://pixeldrain.com/u/5kvJb1DW. The attendees part will very much be influenced be your decisions during the preparation stage.
We're still a while off from release, and as normal I'm trying to be pretty vague about specifics to avoid spoilers,
Those of you on Discord/F95 will have noticed I've been very quiet... and that's pretty much because I've got my head stuck in developing. I get tunnel vision with this kinda thing.
