was thinking about it, pry after the next 2 following prototypes since they won the focus poll but yee, would like to update this and the bara beach bear to run on more modern pcs and android, so long story maybe? Depends on how much time ill have after getting the next 2 prototypes out and how they're received will sorta dictate what little free time ill have and what i can spend it on, :3
It sucks but I get where you're coming from, if you allow nsfw to turn a profit you risk payment processors from pulling the plug on the entire site which is horrible. At least this way there's a chance for the future.
At least you made it so our stuff can still be viewed and get an audience, so that's pretty nice, thanks! Heres to hoping payment processors let up or you find a better payment processor. Thanks for doing what you can, at least i can still get my stuff seen even if I can't make money directly from this site anymore. I can still get peeps seeing my stuff and going to patreon or subscribbestar to support my stuff.
so all in all thanks for trying, heres to hoping things get better later on and keep being awesome my dude, :3
Yea, that dimension didn't get the attention it needed to be sure, if i ever pick this project up again ill totally restrict it more, hope you enjoyed the rest of the game tho, :3
Hope you enjoy the up and coming Alex in wonderland and Werewolf Hunters prototypes more once they start development, :3
There isn't a way to interact with them, its pretty heavily inspired by Twisted Gallery, a game where you travel through liminal gallery with each round of going through the room changing something.
I was gonna make it so proximity and other triggers could cause some fun changes, but since this was just a hold over game til we voted on a larger game prototypes to continue development with it never really needed such an interactive system. It was literally a place holder game while deciding what to dev long term so sorta a one-shot sorta project.
If peeps want me to dev it more ill put it to a vote and maybe such things in but for now peeps wanted to start prototypes Alex in Wonderland and Werewolf Hunters. But ill add this as an option if peeps really want this side game to continue dev.
But it doesn't have interactions and pry wont have such interactions if it isn't chosen as the focus project per update cycle, sorry.
Not at all important for me, heck I actively let people download and upload my games anywhere, I have buttons in the main menu that open tabs in users browsers to my patreon, itch and other social media accounts so all they're doing is giving me free advertising, XD
It's the internet, you're never gonna be able to fully stop pirating, so might as well make it work in your favor, :p
I get where ya coming from as a fellow nsfw game dev but you gotta understand this from itch's point of view too.
If their payment processors pull out that'd screw the entire site, not just nsfw devs, til they find a new payment processor. Atleast they made it so our stuff can still be seen, sure we can't turn a profit from itch directly anymore but at least our stuff isn't hidden anymore.
Sure we cant make money directly but we can still have our stuff get found and searched and seen on the platform, just need to make money off the platform off patreon, subscribestar, etc, its still a great place to get your stuff noticed, :3
Oh yea, used to have sever anxiety when submitting games for the public to view, but that was on another site with really toxic people, this site is nothing like that. The worst that would happen here is maybe no one playing your game, which is far better than where i use to upload, XD
Just keep in mind, you're pry over thinking it, peeps are either gonna love your game and comment and rate and all that good stuff, or they're just gonna ignore it and move on, either way no reason to let it bother you.
Meh, thats another reason for the new account, sorta a work around, i can't get paid on itch anymore but atleast my stuff is visible and searchable again, so thats nice, :3
Agreed, itch's notifications used be ok but now they booty cheeks, half the time i never even get notified for comments and stuff.
But yea long story short was dividing my account into NSFW and SFW accounts, but then the Sanctioned13 account had issues and still has issues and cant be searched and support is..., not very supportful....
And yea, Made and moved to the Sacnt13 account full time since it can still be actively searched unlike the old Sanctioned13 that's still unsearchable and its just a head ache, XD. Plus been using the new sanct13 account for a while now and its far cleaner(less cluttered old projects in dashboard), less cluttered and just over all better, so yea, just got use to using the new one as a main and turned out for the best in the long run for tons of reasons, :3
This post is for my entire account since i guess the update furlorn one about making and moving to a new account got overlooked by peeps. I didn't explain it enough and fumbled pretty bad, looking back at it using an update to a game post was a pretty dumb idea but i didn't know generic posts were a thing back then... i don't think they were actually, XD
Anywho sorry for that, go check out my new current main and i hope you enjoy the prototypes ill be making the next few months, Alex in Wonderland and Werewolf Hunters are concepts that will be made and tinkered with thanks to the discord vote, so there's what's to look forward too, :3
I feel this, literally had to do the whole hiatus thing for my project Furlorn a few months ago, simply due to life and extreme scope creep so don't feel too bummed, it happens to all of us. You managed to make something neat all the same and got it out there, that's a pretty great alone my dude, :D
Glad you like the game, as for women i was thinking of adding them in and having a system that would allow players to view only the gender they want, women, men, both, etc, but sadly just never got around to it. As for this game, it is on hiatus potentially permanently since i realized just how over scoped it is as explained here:
So sadly pry wont come, but i will pry use the gender/sexuality selection system for my future prototypes so hopefully something to look forward to in other projects, :3.
Weirdly enough i do, just a tiny one tho, but big enough to warrant making a discord for peeps who like my stuff. It's weird but nice, even if a lot of them can get a bit rowdy, >.>
Mostly they just found me on here and before that they knew me for making flash games, back when they were a thing.
As for advice, don't make stuff you think others will like, just make what ever you want to make, share it where you think it'll do ok, and remain consistent on uploads, make a schedule if you have to, then peeps tend to naturally flow in, :3
Only the guard dogs, thugs and slimes, pretty sure only the humanoids can initiate sex scenes since the slimes were super new and the guard dog was suppose to be ripped out for a wolf but never got to it. So just 3 enemy types and yes only the thugs and other humanoids can initiate sex scenes with the player, however the player can initiate sex scenes with all, :3
Partially why im excited to work on Alex In Wonderland is getting to make a tons of different peculiar enemies and having scenes with more than just humanoids, but thats still super early in development and still being voted on, :3
It sucks but what can itch.io do? If they allow nsfw games to turn a profit they risk their their entire payment providers pulling the plug, then everyone gets screwed, NSFW and SFW devs, nsfw my be saved later but only if there's a platform to be saved on is still there.
It's aggravating to be sure, trust me i sympathize as another nsfw dev, but you can see itch's side too, if they allow it they get their entire business screwed, there's no winning sadly.
If nothing else itch.io still allows free(No Payment) nsfw games, which is great for getting your stuff seen which is something. Most of us are just uploading free "no payment" and embedding a button in our games that takes peeps to our kofi, patreon, etc if they wanna support us, it works, not exactly practical but it works.
Just try and make the best of a sad situation until payment processors stop being butts, until then all we can really do it hope and pray sadly, :o
Happy deving and good luck, if you get the first upload jitters just post it if it feels ready, I know several peeps who spent months making a game only to scare out the last minute when they had a nearly complete game. Anywho good luck and have fun, :3
Because it's a fun industry that typically doesn't exploit real life people, personally I enjoy making them just because peeps seem to like something I'm ok at which is nice.
I'm actually a gay-demisexual(little to no libido) so i don't typically care about porn in general but i like making something peeps find neat.
Plus some of the nsfw games have had some of the sweetest moments, few and rare sure but also very heart warming. Extracurricular Activities had me crying and in suspense, Socially Awkward is just sweet goobers with a little sexy thrown in. And Kingsguard literally had me on the floor crying over a socially neglected fox ninja and weirdly wholesome lion.
It's not all just for the sexy, sometimes it just the deep simulated connection that super appealing, :3
Yea, it sucks you can't make money from itch directly anymore but its wonderful that you can just switch to "No Payment" and your stuff can still be seen/searched. itch has always done a great job at getting peeps to view your stuff, even with this new boundary its my main source of exposure.
As for the money thing just have a patreon linked in your game or something, :3
As far as I'm aware the ability to make profit from itch.io for nsfw games is no longer possible, you can get your games re-indexed and visible but need to go for "No Payment" option which is great for getting discovered but obviously no source of income. Still you can link to your patreon or such if peeps who really wanna tip ya can have a way to do so. But as for direct payments from itch that pry won't be a thing anymore til the whole "Nsfw == Bad" blows over if it ever does.
Regardless atleast my stuff is still getting noticed even if i cant make a profit from itch directly anymore so don't give up on itch, if nothing else it's great advertisement, :3
Oh nice, hope you like it, sadly it's on Hiatus for the reasons mentioned in the vid, hope you enjoy the other things im working on once i get them out, :3
Thanks! Hate those damn virus spreading bots, they've been everywhere as of late. thankfully my stuff isn't that well known compared to my friends who are getting raided by these things for literal days now, @.@
Still super annoying, anywho thanks for letting peeps know, :3
It'd be nice if there were some simple text or something on games/dashboard that tells what's going on like, "not indexible", "queued for indexing", "indexed", just some sorta status notice or something would really help with all the confusion i think, @.@
Oh, hu, that explains a lot actually, some of my friends have had that happen, but for some just removing some tags helped them get their stuff back up, maybe give that a whirl? I know its worked for some, @.@
I mean a few nsfw game dev peeps, me included, who got de-listed have just been turning their payments option to "No payments", for some odd reason it indexes them so peeps can see and play them but obviously there's no way to get paid this way but at least your stuff can be seen. I tried it and it works, but as soon as i switch to "$0 or Donate", it immediately gets de-indexed, so not really sure what's going on, @.@
Glad you like it, sadly no update for a while potentially permanently, it's on hiatus while i try and refocus on smaller more realistically achievable goals and collab projects with other. Still glad you liked it all the same, :3
That's odd, it shouldn't be all that intensive, if you can get to the main menu try lowering the graphics and render distance? If not, that's definitely odd, what are you running it on if you don't mind my asking?, :o
Seems ever since i updated it to a new version of unity it's had issues, might have to update just to downgrade to an earlier version of unity just for stability at this point, XD
Lol, fair enough, life been giving peeps the hard ball these days, totally understandable, thanks cant wait to try it after work, have a wonderful day, :D
Yee, tis the hope for the next update, not sure about more exhibits, but hopefully more interactions, new types of triggers, more animated and interactive anomalies and events and such, :3
