[News] Dev Report 1126


Hey, guys! I'm still working on the final demo.
The animation took too much time, I hope it's worth it and that it will give you a good gameplay experience.

Now you can have a preview:


I need your opinion, which idea is better for you?

A: CG without animations, so I can get full service earlier.
B: I can wait longer for full service, but I want all CG with animations.
C: ________________________________

please give me your feedback! :)

Moreover, in the final demo you'll find that the toilets in the park are a bit different. I think you' re smart enough to understand that what's the new event hint on this picture. ;)

I think only sex CGs should be animated.

Got it! ;)

For me the Full realistic animation would be several times hotter. So, B, I think.

Sorry for I missed your message... :( 

and thank you for your suggestion! :D

Hi Ryo I'm New I Like This Games So I Wait B 『另外遊戲裡的故事很不錯 👍』

Hey Hulk! Thank you! Please looking forward the Final demo! :D

I don't think you should rush the game out without animations but it's probably better to prioritize story, gameplay, and unanimated CGs over animation. Story, gameplay, and unanimated CGs are essential, animations are not. I'd really love to see animation but I think it's better to be realistic rather than be overly ambitious which will be very bad for the game. 

I love the game, I love the themes, I love the characters, and I love the art, so I would really like the game to be complete rather than abandoned because it might be too much work. The game should definitely have some animations but it can't come at the cost of everything else. You're only one person, I can imagine it'll be incredibly hard on you to be too ambitious. 

Indeed... and I even have a full time job... lol

Thanks for your opinion, it is a really good point, I will try my best to get the balance!

as you say gameplay is most important! :)

(+1)

I would prefer to to wait for full CG version. I really love the game.

Got it, and thanks for played and like my game! :D

Maybe you can publish the CGs version first and with animation update later for the final demo? I also think you can sell your game. Having CGs version and Animation version (higher price) both. People are gonna buy your game. Its great and I would definitely love to pay for it! 

It is a really good idea! you guys always give me many good point! :)

(+1)

I'm definitely willing to wait for the animation! It important to not overwork yourself and you've allready shown that you've put lot of effort and love for your game. Also if you end up doing like a kickstarter for this game I will definitely support you there! :) 

Thank you so much! I will do my best! :D

i think you need a cup of coffee and to chill down. dont overdue yourself, we want the game, but we need you more.

(+1)

Thank you for always support me! :D

your art is amazing, of course i will support you, and even if you want to talk to someone, just randomly. i am here. i got your back

Here is the thing.

If you are working alone, doing the entire thing with animations can take way too much time. Personally I find good writing paired with a few well done CGs can be better than animation. Plus you can always go through the story with CGs and slowly replace them with animation at a later point if there is interest for it.

Trying to do the entire thing with animations could take so much time that both you and fans might lose interest. You should consider what is the best option so that you do not avoid burn out. Better to actually get it out than to take much longer and get tired of it half way through the process.

Couldn't have said it better!
Don't get me wrong. I love the animation and definitely want more of it, but not at the cost of the game's development. Either way, I love your work, animated or not. 

(+1)

Thank you PTHemlock! I’ll do my best to get the balance! :D

Hey Nymrod! Thanks for your feedback and I think it’s a good point, I agree with you, so I think I have to find a balance! 

The art is already exceptional. I am not saying I would not want animation, you clearly know what you are doing. Just have seen many devs burn out because their project was too ambitious.

(+1)

Take all the time necessary, we'll be here waiting. Give us your best and keep up your awesome work :D

Thank you! I think at least the rescue event CG should be full animations! :D

(+1)

Where do we vote?  If here, definitely take your time!  If all of the scenes are animated as hot as that one, it will be well worth the wait!

Is there/will there be a Kickstarter or Patreon for the game once the final demo is out?  This project looks incredibly promising!

Hey Elsilver!
Yes I’m considering put my project to Kickstarter after the final demo released. 

And although my Patreon is open but there are not many content at moment, so I didn’t put the link here for now.
many thanks for your attention and support! :D

Thank you! :D

holly, that is so hot...
the thing is, take longer time, and release it with animation.

(+1)

Got it! Thanks for the feedback! :D

(+1)

With animations would be better in my opinion even if it takes longer to release the full game

(+1)

Got it! thanks for your opinion! :D

(+1)

Definitely with animation.

Thanks for the feedback! I got it!

Will you include the option to bottom for the romantic interests? Like Ekram, to be able to be his bottom? Or in another words to be topped by the other guys?

All guys will have Top and bottom event in full servise, but in the final demo, Ekram's rescue event is top him. :)

(+1)(-1)

So, in the demo, only Ekram will top? The others will be bottoms? Am I right? 

(+1)

no, I mean in the first rescue mission he will be a bottom for some reason. in the story you wouldn’t have chance to have sex with these guys in first 2 days, It’s a romance story after all. ;)

(+1)

With animation would be better. Even if take much more time. Or you can do CG without animations to release game earlier and add animations later. I very like what you doing so anyway I will wait as long as it necessary.

Thank you! it might be a good idea! :)
