hey really love your game but i have some questions/suggestions.

1:Will the game be censored on steam because some of the fetishes here on itch arent listed on steam?

2: Regarding the visibility of your game i personally think its pretty low. So for steam i would suggest you get a demo out and list it on some adult events that are sometimes on steam and thus get some more people to wishlist this game. From what i hear on steam a game will rise and fall with the amount of wishlists it gets atleast for indie developers.

As for itch if you allow people to donate to you on this site your game will not be listed and your game cant be searched either trough the tags or if you type it in the search bar. So maybe make a second page for a paid version and make this one free without donations or just remove the option to get donated to.(as to why thought of it I only got to know of this game through a discord member on one of the games i follow aswell )

3:Will the game feature some branching personalities with the women like they get more dominant/submissive based on your choices with them?

4:Or can there be potions that can alter the appearances of the love interests(breast reduction/expansion futa on/off, pubic hair on/off that sort of thing) ?

Sorry for the long wall of text if something i wrote has false information or someone can ellaborate on some topics feel free to correct / enlighten me.

At last Thanks for taking the time to read this i hope you have a beautiful day to whoever got this far.

I'm gonna try to keep it short if I can:
1.Nothing will be different between any versions of the game. I maybe add some easter eggs here and there on Steam but nothing in terms of characters and scenes.

2.I was starting to consider this as I see others doing it and I think you're 100% right. I will look to add a demo on time- I will need to remake a small bit of the early game though, so it doesn't give a false impression. And the thing about itch is very interesting, I didn't know... I'll just set it be free to play on here. It's fine, if people want to support the project there are other ways.

3.YES - that's a huge part of the game's direction later on. I have tons and TONS of things designed and thought out. I already know how to do it all - to influence the dom/sub personalities characters, I mean. I will explain more in the next answer, because they are connected.

4. YES- this was one of the oldest ideas I had, this is absolutely a MUST in my opinion and the setting is perfectly set up. I was thinking of making it so pubes grow naturally over the time in game, and then let the player customize more if he wishes.

BUT- the reason why all of that is not in game is simply because of the engine (ren'py). It's very constrictive in some areas and it's simply not viable I think to make all the characters load with a ton of connected assets. From my tests, it would slow down the game too much, but -that was an older version, maybe It's good now... in any case, the game is being ported to unity slowly so that's where I'll be adding all these things and that's why I waited. Unity will allow me to really show and make what I have in my mind (if all goes to plan). So, we are talking at least 2 years before any of this would be in game. I'm sorry, I know it's a lot of waiting but I'm just being realistic. It's only me working and another guy helping out when he can.

Lastly, thank you so so much for the consideration. I take every advice seriously and you've obviously thought through these things. People usually ask about characters and poses but you do sound like you're a game dev honestly. Thanks, again. I hope you're gonna play the next update and it's going to be fun. If you wish to ask anything more I'm happy to explain!

Thanks for the reply. Its nice to see how much is planned and in that detail.

If its not a bother i have some suggestions about the steam page.

Back to my first question the reason why i asked was that here you list futanari as a fetish and on steam you dont even mention it. On steam you should really mention all fetishes and if its avoidable(like futa avoidable) and future fetishes( like pregnancy) and what will not be in the game (like the most common one there will be no ntr in this game) . Its just to be safe because if there is futa or ntr and the right person discovers it and it is not stated on the page this person can leave a negative review or spark a discussion in the communityhub and that can get really ugly.Especially if more people downvote your game and your review gets to mixed or negativ just because of tag thats a real shame.

As for the visibillity you should also use more keywords that you can search your game with like Milf, Futanari, Femdom, Maledom, Footjob but I dont know if its enough to have this words on your page or if you must do some other things on steam that your game can be searched with this tags.Its just that i saw a dev who listed all sorts of tags at the end of his games and you could find his games with these keywords aswell.

What i also often see is that many devs dont do devlogs or dont interact with the community hub. i know its a lot of work but i personally think if a devs interact with his community not only the patreons or discord members its a huge green flag.

Lastly then i shut up. Is there a roadmap anywhere where we can see what is in each coming update?

Thats all and wow again a huge wall of text im really sorry that i steal so much time from you.

Ps. I will definitly play the next update when its out.
