discussion Ren'Py [Koikatsu] A World Of My Own [Day 1-5] [SmogJonkler]

Welp that didn't take long, all files have already been deleted off the page and I'm not sure they'll allow me to withdraw the little money I was supposed to get from the group sales.

The "Other Games" link is dead. I take it that game wasn't uploaded anywhere except itch? Of course now that it's no longer available I'm curious, what was that other game?

Yeah itch killed it, it was only scenes with the mom and a little more insight about his past life and relationship with her.

I made a poll, let me know your thoughts.

I made a poll, let me know your thoughts.

As some one who doesn't financially support unfinished games anymore because of several times when I've done it and the games ended up abandoned or adding in stuff later that I hated, it's hard for me to feel like I ought to gave advice. I only pay money for finished games now. And I don't use crypto at all, honestly, I'm not even sure really how to use it, I'm behind the times on that I guess,

But I feel like I can say that if you go for a patreon, unless you are very careful, you are either going to have to change or even sideline this game, or run the risk of it being shut down at any moment the whole time you have it. It you don't link this game or you have a different name for your patreon and only make separate art or something for it then maybe it could work, but it might still be like a bomb just waiting to go off and screw you over. Just my two cents

The idea is to make a page with a different name that doesn't have any content on it, it'll just be for collecting payments and everything else will stay over here and on discord.

I've made a squeaky clean page on patreon to finance this game. Disregard all the RPG talk over there, I won't be working on any other projects unless you all force me to kill this game.
Let's see how this goes.

 

[gamesnek]

so is this getting any updates?

No orange toe tag yet so I assume so. No money from it so don't expect them more often than every year or 2 when the dev gets bored enough to work on it just for fun.

Good luck I guess. At this point so many people have been burned (myself included, after SSP was abandoned that was my last straw, ~$700 over 4 years with half a story to show for it, maybe another $5k to other dead projects over the previous 7-8 years or so) relatively few give money to unfinished projects anymore, crypto or otherwise. Makes sense, why would someone buy an unfinished house that the contractors have a high chance of just upping and quit working on it halfway through and pay 10-20x market price for it at that and with no legal recourse? When I think about it I'm amazed there's still some people left that just give away their money on just a (often broken) promise. Overall Patreon is now a waste of time, so many restrictions now anything still allowed on there isn't worth paying for (most new AVNs are lucky to get 50-100 subs even after a year) and they prob have AI detectives actively searching other sites like here so things like blank pages or cat videos as a front project for the good stuff will only work for so long. Personally I don't financially support censorship (Patreon gets an 8% cut, but not from me) even if $2 bills were being sold for 50 cents on there and I even quit using credit cards altogether back in July, fuck them too, so couldn't use Patreon now even if I wanted to after almost 8 years of not needing them (canceled all my subs there after DMD was almost abandoned because of them and never went back).

Edit: Just checked the Patreon link, as I predicted already dead after not even 3 months (probably before then).

discord link died

discord link died

No doubt banned. People really need to quit using shit sites like Discord. I mean how hard would it be to just make their own similar mini-Discord just for their own AVNs? Even just self-hosting that should be relatively cheap, esp if it's just a text-based chatroom with a similar setup. Own self-hosted site = can do/say wtf you want. One could also find an overseas host that doesn't give a fuck what is uploaded, but those tend to be expensive ($1-2k+/mo, or more if it's actually illegal, higher risk = higher price).

Yup, Patreon is now prob using AI, so now getting nuked quicker than a human can press the red button.

Damn, this game was some solid taboo slop. RIP

Oh yeah I remember now, that patreon account got nuked and I ended up creating a new one that's now semi private.
DM on the discord server if you want access to it.

It's not dead, I just have a very slow update schedule since I don't have much time to put into it.
