Will the game be uncensored since you are using Pixiv and dl site? They require censorship and that sucks considering the work you put into the game.
Please consider subscribestar because I was supporting you here because it is not censored all to hell.
Us western supporters like things uncensored and will pay a bit more to not have it.
Oh I see.
The way you worded your response made me think you were mad at me for bringing up beast and cub stuff. That is why I left.
I wasn't saying it should be added I was just saying patreon vs subscribestar isn't about ease of use or money gained. It is freedom of artistic liberty.
That is why those folk I mentioned went there and told everyone about it.
I will rejoin the discord. It was a language barrier I suppose. I know English only thanks to the amazing USA. (Sigh...) That is why I read things literally. Social media kinda poisoned the well if you get my drift.
Magic creatures. You said you were thinking about this one to add size difference and feral stuff but not really feral. That is what i am referring too.
I left your Discord because your comment about not doing real bestiality sounded like you were pissed at me. I would have said it there but like I said I read your comment as anger.
No worries it is your game after all.
I was just showing you the examples. I wish you best in the future. I wasn't expecting cubs or bestiality tbh I was just saying those examples uses it. At the end if the day it's your game.
I get it. I will drop the subject. Sad that it will just be vanilla stuff since those games are a dime a dozen. Once again I wish you the best.
Edit: I left your discord since I don't want to bother you there. Like I said I get it.
It's not really that. Niche patrons pay more to get niche products. Supply and demand 101.
Furry patrons like animal like genitals and feral stuff.
Vore folk like vore most dragon lovers like that.
Monster lovers love well.... You get the point.
Animopron went full niche and gathered the niche supporters. Niche supporters will pay more to get said niche content.
Karne made his game first then added monster stuff BUT to get the niche even further he added feral monsters.
Wicked Island said no feral enemies BUT made beast like enemies that can do feral stuff.
And one on patreon I support 100% since day one is WildLife. It is human x anthro but the anthro are more animal than person. So for instance wolves have dog equipment and felines feline equipment. They filled a niche and still complied with patreon.
I was just showing you if you are willing to dip into taboo you can ask a bit more money for it and most that like that content will pay. That us why those niche substar users do so well.
Add a niche and advertise it then they will come.
F95 zone can show you that one first hand. All the games and devs I mentioned are on there if you want to see.
I am going to post my reasoning for the removal of the dislike.
You think that your game will get banned for feral content because no one likes it or patreon will get you. You said 70% of your support is through that stifling crap storm of a site.
Look up the following games:
Beasts in the Sun -Animo (beast content mostly)
Teenluma on itch.
Karne games
And Syahata's bad day.
They all have beast content and have huge followings.
Karnes made the beasts into straight up monsters.
Animo literally has a long line of beast content.
Teenluma just does dog stuff.
And Syahatas bad day has zombie beasts.
The funny thing is 3 of them did have patreon support but they changed the rules several times so they went elsewhere.
Animo is making over 30k a month.
Karne has 2 popular ganes on Steam.
Syahata uses itch and ci-en dlsite
And Teenluma uses their own site and itch.
One of my favorite games wicked island is here too and they have a substar.
The problem I am seeing is hardly anyone knows about substar or thinks it is not worth their time. In actuality substar doesn't have many issues as long as it is fake not real. Hell they have cub artists there. You could add the beast content but only post it on substar as a patch like Predation did.
Predation is also on itch. They have beast content on substar version only. Patreon can technically block that but if you make it so they have to pay you can subvert that by CHANGING THE NAME. Homelands on Patreon, Backwoods on Substar.
Oh and randomcrows has full on beast stuff too on patreon. Forgot that one.
You hate it but you stay there.
Trust me friend you will find out how fickle they are. My favorite game dev went to sibstar because they changed their mind on human x furry and dragon x furry.
He was given no warnings or heads up. Plus they can and do stop payments if you get anything they don't like.
Case in point I got a 3 month suspension for saying I hated them blocking a Russian dev for being in Russia.
They are fickle. Very very fickle.
You wanting to add mystical creatures will get shut down too for being beast adjacent. I have seen it happen 7 times.
And finding out you are on Patreon makes me worried for you. Catching/slavery is also against terms of service which is in your game. All patreon allows is the most vanilla content. Hell I saw 7 of my favorite game makers get banned for "implied" rape.
Not even real rape "implied".
You will suffer the same fate I am afraid. I mean it is your game but patreon is like big brother in that regard.
Best of luck to you but if this game is patreon only I have lost all interest in it. Sorry but I hate patreon with a passion and refuse to allow them to dictate what is allowed and not. Seeing as they turn a blind eye to actual illegal content.
This is why patreon < subscribestar tbh. Substar takes less of your earnings too. And they dont monitor your sites for such things. But if you are on patreon keep in mind rape, non consensual, violence with sexual tones, and even furry x human are all no nos too. I am disappointed you are on patreon tbh. They ruin everything almost all the time.
Well i played it a bit and here is my suggestions:
I would like feral enemies personally because not only dies it allow bestiality content but also the possibility of pets, farming, and even guards.
The second thing is a fulfilling gameplay loop. Give us a reason to fight in battles. Like perhaps you are the lone survivor of an raid and now you must rebuild by capturing enemies to be workers and recruit merchants and so on.
Add a penalty for failure that won't end in a gane over. Like you lose all your possessions or the enemy not only uses you but robs you of all your items.
Allow the player to play as more than one or two characters. Like male female but thet choose the species.
If you do add feral enemies try to add something not seen often. Dogs, wolves, and dragons are done by everyone. Bears, badgers, lions, hyenas, snakes, and mystical creatures like manticores are rarely done.
And finally give updates about what you are doing. Even a simple post once every 2 weeks or so like "I am working on x." Or "Here is a pic of x" will keep interest in your project.
I will keep following your project regardless but as the game is right now it is to bare bones and it has nothing to keep playing for. Add a fun loop or a purpose and you'll get more support. Especially if you put in taboo or niche subjects. I mean look at e621. The most niche things have thousands of follows. Just a suggestion.
Okay a few suggestions to make the game more playable.
1. Leveling needs to be fixed a bit. 500 is really high at the beginning. 100 is more reasonable.
2. Allow us to skip in battle animations.
3. Stronger enemies need to give more souls than regular enemies.
4. Add a gallery at some point.
5. Make the boss rooms a bit more obvious. Torches or some type of pentagram at the entrance so we know to save.
The bird game ruined the game for me. I get it that you are trying to make multiple mini games but all it does is ruin the fun and point to a porn game. There is a group of people on a forum I follow who are just going to record the sex scenes because in their words, "It is not worth the hassle or headache" Maybe tone down the unnecessary hard mini games. When you have to cheat to play the game it is not well implemented. Maybe think about it because like I said when people are willing to pull out the sex scenes only then the game is too hard.
The game over screen STAYS blank. Even on continue it stays blank. I am allowed to my opinion since I paid for the game. (Sponsored) The first build allowed so head shots with the stick to give some room but now nope.
The range hit box is hit or miss. Sometimes it hits most times it doesn't.
And many people are saying the same about all of the bugs and lost features so no I am not being mean I am just in the same boat and the numerous others.
I mean if you paid for something and it broke or didn't work well would you say "oh well" or would you voice concerns?
Okay not to be mean but the zombie shooting game is a bit too hard to enjoy. Your moving speed is to low to dodge most hits and you only get maybe 10 hits before you die. It is just not fun and the fact that you cannot get anything after that point kinda sucks. Maybe tone down the hits or give us some health pick ups because as it stands right now it is unplayable.
I have a small suggestion if it wouldnt be too hard to add. Seeing as the goal is to escape the zombie infested town and you have to go outside eventually i guess.
I play other games similar to this one and not a single one has any animals besides dogs and rats. I always wondered if animals can get infected then why not more vicious animals? Like a boar or bear for example. Is it possible to add a bear like Days Gone has?
That game has a almost boss level bear enemy that will kill other zombies to get to you. I was thinking that would add tension if you are outside too long.
I saw the horse and the rat animations on your page and I was wondering if you are going to add more zombie animals in later? Like zombie dogs, zombie zoo animals, or more giant bugs? I mean human zombies are nice but some faster monsters would be great. Like making people have to jump and dodge a dog for instance.
I understand it is your game and yes I understand vore is your thing I was just asking since your "fans" were so hostile towards me on the forums I frequent.
Also there is a few supporters who made multiple smaller donations with emails to get multiple votes in (they bragged on the forums too) just to sway votes. Bots are not hard to make for Patreon and many use this tactic to get their way and pirate stuff. Like I said I understand it is your game but I was seeing the hostility and the bot jerks and it made me disheartened in the game.
I unsubbed before I could ask but will there be a chance that the male wyvern could make it the game later on?
The game seems to be going more and more vore lately.
I loved the dogboy stuff but your fans told me all you do is vore.
Will you ever get a poll without vore to give the rest of us a chance or are we out of luck?
In the end it is your decision and who are we to judge.
However being called a perv when you have nothing to prove this is you developing this is just fear talking. Take it from an openly bi man who attend furry conventions and has 5 body shops.
What you do professionally and do at home are your business. Times are changing that is true but who is it to judge someone for likes and fetishes?
I do not know your profession or choices but like I said in the end if you are throwing in the towel because of others you have lost already. BUT if you are doing this for you then do not feel bad.
