I normally would not buy these games, but after playing the demo. I truly wanted your games. I am really looking forward to SS2 but if you are making it to where I have to pay a monthly fee, then I guess I will not be able to buy that. Either way please don't hang in the towel.

If you continue ı ll probably start supporting you ın the future.One last thing ıf you do a job which you like ıt ll make feel a lot better than you do a job you don t like ıt s common just like that :).I know a person he is my friend and gains nearly 40 000 dollars per month but ı can easily say that he does not have free time and as ı can see he hates his lifestyle.Dont pay attention to the comments which will make you think walk or not you know what ı mean :).Cause ın these days some people they realy like seeing people failing in things.Especialy when they re the cause of it! HOPE YOU CONTINUE and have the mone you want.But don t make the money ın the fırst place, people don t like it.You mıght be right but after saying that much people will not think like as they do.Shortly don t compare yourself to the others and ıf you wanna compare yourself than compare with the publishing ıssue.It will help a lot.

The RPG community of Iberia (that guy is from Portugal) is that pompous and self-important. You don´t need to pay attention to them. <br /><br />You aspire to make the games that u like! Not the games that are popular! It´s the same in the world of music, in the world of books. What books are the best sellers? The bad books of course! Things like Tom Clancy or personal-superation books (crap like that). The books of Tolstoi, Zola or Joyce cannot sell that well....but ARE INFINITELY BETTER. Make the games that make the difference TO YOU. What about the public? The public is free, as yourself! Don´t let this fools with theirs "market studies" make it to your nerves. The public is free to follow and buy your games also!El cyrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633512932826543254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260345133556173564.post-51872163200935197102015-08-14T23:44:28.334-07:002015-08-14T23:44:28.334-07:00Hey man...sorry for my english...I´m still learnin...Hey man...sorry for my english...I´m still learning to write in english (I can read it very well, though). Well, you are a terrific developer. I fucking love your games. Don´t shy away from the extreme content. In fact, I looking to see more extreme situations! (Have u seen Skyrim modded at hell...there are many users in lovers lab who loved gory and scat things...Western community is very open to those situations, don´t let the users here tell u otherwise).<br /><br />Maybe $2000 is a far reach goal. You know u´re doing this for love, not for the money. Maybe find a regular job (a light regular job) and work on these games like a hobby. Why do you need to stop making games altogether? , but u can get easily $1000. Plus the money u can get from a regular and easy job. That scenario sounds very bad to you?El cyrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633512932826543254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260345133556173564.post-14732064685191101912015-08-12T17:52:02.645-07:002015-08-12T17:52:02.645-07:00Can you truly read?

But not saying there is only 5% scenes that involve scat. Like i said in my previous reply, there will be always around 10% scenes have scat in my games. <br /><br />From my point of view, i have never asked for any help honestly. It is all about whether people still want to support after the changes and i will gladly accept people's decision.Combin Ationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04947573372149816984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260345133556173564.post-73760022269258488772015-08-12T17:29:44.331-07:002015-08-12T17:29:44.331-07:00Here are some tips for you.

This will help as you are in a niche for some of the fetishes in your games, don't be afraid to get into discussions about the games as you are trying to sell a product.<br /><br />2. When reading comments or before posting your own, speak them out loud. This is a technique that my college English classes say to do for critiques and your own written works.<br /><br />3. Don't be afraid to ask for tips from others, not just about content but also about techniques, how they got the word out on their games, among other stuff.<br /><br />4. Add more rewards to your patreon, like a monthly drawing where you make a picture for the winner or something similar.<br /><br />I have played Survivor Sara and the Green Shadow, Agent Alona is still on my to buy list. I like The Green Shadow, here is some of what I find lacking in some areas of your games.<br /><br />1. Side quests; not the kind that just gives you rewards but the kind that also gives you background stories about the local area, the world, or the characters you meet. Side quests are optional and are their to give more meat to the game.<br /><br />2. NPC's; their should be more interesting NPC's in the game, not just in the main quest or in side quests, but in exploring the world of the game. They should give a story as the game advances, including them gives more life to the game itself.<br /><br />3. Lore; You should be able to find it scatter throughout the game, to give a example: in the Green Shadow I was kind of hoping to find stories in newspapers or books about other super heroes, like for instance reading about another super heroine rise and fall, stuff like that.<br /><br />And about your blog, you could add a section where you write down short stories for your world that happen but don't fit into the games, so your visitors can get more invested in the stories of your games. Like about another survivor who doesn't make it or stories that happen to the characters in the past before the games or what the characters where up to between games.Corrupted Pervhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744386967882683273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260345133556173564.post-29754665875147854782015-08-12T14:28:35.356-07:002015-08-12T14:28:35.356-07:00What...?

Me or yourself?<br /><br />Just do whatever you want, like you have so far, you're beyond any help anyone offers you.Starkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05879545924708055779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260345133556173564.post-24751226036911768482015-08-12T13:41:04.913-07:002015-08-12T13:41:04.913-07:00Your aggressive personality has got me annoyed and...Your aggressive personality has got me annoyed and you keep comparing your very own experience to other is some what annoying. You keep telling me my attitude disgusts you or my personality caused the low patrons which i found it is very personal. <br /><br />I have never mad at any people for not supporting but only to those who keeps complaining about some of the themes they hate but still choose to continue playing the games. I have tried to stay calm and remain polite to all this until recently.<br /><br />So, to succeed, someone must do a lot of research and only create things that the majority like? I think it is so wrong and unimaginative and all the new games would be more or less the same in this way like copies of each other.<br /><br />I create what i like because i think people will like it too. Like the idea of playing as a survivor and level up to fight mutant creatures. Like being a superheroine and help the citizens in the city while she has to earn her daily living. Like being an US secret agent and has to undercover as a teacher in the Japanese school. No marketing research will help you to get those idea, lol. Although there is no guarantee one's idea will success, you have to try and be creative and have your own vision of how your game should be. Your way of creating game bores me!<br /><br />When my idea comes, I will keep thinking of more idea on it and keep expanding it with things that I found suitable and interesting. I don't restrict myself on what I must add or mustn't. I go from light to heavy, minimum to maximum or even something extreme. That is my pleasure of creating games. If it is limited, the fun would be over!<br /><br />But the point here is, for scat scenes that maybe liked by 5% and disliked by 95% of people, it is truly not my way to please the majority and not giving the minority what they like. It is unfair, a discrimination and a terrible decision. And it also reduce fun of creating games because of the restriction.Combin Ationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04947573372149816984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260345133556173564.post-83714268833454589022015-08-12T12:28:51.783-07:002015-08-12T12:28:51.783-07:00no offense - but I believe or feel that you need a...no offense - but I believe or feel that you need a memorial pause times.<br /><br />As already mentioned above, I wish you the best for your project, etc. - but somehow it brought here so slowly that you're apparently soon destroy itself with the whole back and forth here.

I just said for you to thing of other ways to help you keep working on the games, like the thing to skip scat scenes you added was a good ideia, but you need more. Like i said maybe moving to a different city and living in a smaller house/apartment would help, that way you would pay an income of 2000$.

But if i cannot create the game in my own vision, i see no point in continuing. It is more like an exchange for more money in the sacrifice of freedom to create. From my point of view, as a true creator of adult rpg games, it isn't the right thing to do and give up one of the hentai theme... Thank you for your last advice but i think suggesting to remove piss or scat completely is not gonna to work for the above reason. The function to skip the scat scene is already added into the game and is the best thing i can do.Combin Ationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04947573372149816984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260345133556173564.post-42932591206012541902015-08-12T11:43:48.532-07:002015-08-12T11:43:48.532-07:00Then you shouldn't be mad when a lot of people...Then you shouldn't be mad when a lot of people don't support those types of themes or fetishes, you cater to a more niche amount of users, and you only get a cut of the market, your friend caters to a much more wider audience, so he gets a bigger cut, plus he has a much more pleasant personality, so how does that come as a surprise for you?<br /><br />When we started doing our first game, Ayame's Adventure, we didn't have a theme in mind, we knew we wanted to make a living at creating RPG Maker Hentai Games, and we wanted to work in RPG Maker Hentai Games because we have pleasure doing it, what made us have a unparalleled success, was that we've been the leading forum in the community for 3 years, we have played most games that came out, making tools, translations, bug fixes, etc. and we did a lot of market research<br /><br />Corruption, a lot of choice and interaction, different outfits, long games, simple games, immersive maps, we did a lot of research on what the community likes, and we went from there.<br /><br />You're doing what YOU like, you can't blame the community for not supporting you more, and with your attitude towards those who have so far, only makes them feel bad about doing it.<br /><br />A damn shame, really.<br /><br />Wish you luck in the future, whatever you decide to do.Starkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05879545924708055779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260345133556173564.post-31510802043181856632015-08-12T11:43:47.816-07:002015-08-12T11:43:47.816-07:00In all my previous replies, i have been keep tryin...In all my previous replies, i have been keep trying to explain on your concern and suggestions one by one carefully. What are you keep trying to do is keep telling me your vision of how SS2 should be and the piss/scat should be removed but nothing more. Just like i said, if you cannot like, take or ignore them, you can just stop support. And It is not like i don't know the reason that caused the limited support but the scat scenes will always be part of my game and one of the interest to create my own games. If the changes can't not help, i will just stop creating them as they are not liked to have enough support.<br /><br />You can support anyone you like or you think he or she is deserved but i don't see you have the right to enforce your idea on other people's creation.

Compare your struggles with his, his sacrifices with yours. He never gave up, even when he didn't had any money and was living in the ghetto, but you, now that you're making money, you want to give up, without trying to do something about it. The only thing you did was, "i need more money or i'll give up". Try to find a new place to live, that could help, or maybe get a job and don't work so much on the games. Try to look for a solution before just giving up because someone that doesn't have scat in his game is making 3000$.
