Hey there people!
So after a long time I had time now to read all the comments here.
And man, so much negativity! But it's okay, I notice the positivity of some people as well.
So, I am aware EP3 was shorter than EP2. I wrote a really long message to a Patron about this, but I'm gonna summarize a few things here, then address some false information here.
I made Episode 1 in a few months. It wasn't really long, nor great in my opinion. But I remember when I was working night shifts at my regular jobs, I already had plans how the story would continue, writing notes, despite Episode 1 not even being ready.
So I had clear directions on where to go with EP2.
I worked on that like a madman, in a fury of posing, rendering, writing. To an extent that I haven't met with my girlfriend, I neglected all my friends and family, didn't do anything, just work on the game. As a result my hands got - in lack of a proper english medical term - fucked up, and my girlfriend went rage mode, etc. But this is all personal life, and I realize no one gives a shit about it, I just wanted to give some context.
So I'm thinking now, what the fuck to do to satisfy everyone, and not break down in the process. To have good and quality content, long content, sandwich renders, personal time, girlfriend time etc. I don't even dare thinking about going on a one week holiday.
But I think I found the solution. It has to do with the workflow. I'm adjusting, it's getting better.
In Game Development, I'm still very, very green, unlike some other devs who has 8+ years of experience. (or so they say)
But all in all, I got the feedback, just like with the NTR last time, I listen. If you notice, I didn't give a release date yet for EP4. Because even if I had 2 more days to work on EP3, I could have added a few more things, so I decided I won't be bound by a date I set early in the cycle, so I can put as much content in it as humanly possible. It will come this month, just not sure about the exact date yet.
Now a few false information I'd like to clear up, or just otherwise address.
- My Patreon was never at 12K, don't know where that came from. It was hovering at 9.3 when end of the month came, and it plummeted as it usually does with a lot of creators, I had (and still have) a lot of declines. But it decreased more than the average creator would have it.
- About NTR. I thought I already calrified it in an earlier post in this thread, there won't be NTR in the game. After seeing the reactions some poeple have over this, I think it's eaiser for everyone if I just avoid the drama and don't put NTR content into the game.
- About milking (not the fetish). I do NOT want to milk anyone. I'm genuinely passionate about the game I'm creating. I don't just make it for the people, I make it for myself too. I want it to be good. It probably sounds stupid, since it's just a porn game in most people's minds, but I want it to be good and leave a lasting impression.
I'd also like to mention here again, that I'm releaseing the game for free. But I already talked about this in a previous post here.
And finally about T4bbo.
First of all, he's not my Patron, he never was.
Now when he commented to one of my public posts, I thought 'what a nice guy.' And I checked his page.
Then after reading through, I couldn't help but notice the outrageous amounts of 'similarity' to my page, and I don't want to elaborate any further on this, I don't wanna accuse him of anything.
BUT! I decided to let it go, and didn't call him out on this, I didn't smear him anywhere, I kept this to myself, because I didn't have any malcious intentions towards him, and I still don't.
I blocked him after seeing this, simply because I didn't want any form of him on my page.
Also, there were many other creators commenting on my posts, just to get some free advertising. Decent creators don't comment publicly to each other's pages. If you really want to say something, pledge a buck and send a message, or talk to me on twitter.
I'll be here for a while now, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.
PS.: There will be sandwich renders in EP4.
