You count content based on the combined total of the 2 versions? That seems weird, and a little misleading as they are essentially the same thing, just the content is longer on one. Yes the watermark thing is just one of the scenes but it's happened before in the last major update you did (its a lil rae black scene), the audio those stupid ads have is also included in that one, do better on that front. I misspoke when I said "SFW" but SFW standards for this site, and it's titled andi.mp4 though I fucked up there and I apologize.We had no other choice to take websites from other websites after most of the porn websites we had a subscription with decided to ban our accounts. I think there is only 2 clips affected though? Correct me if I'm wrong. There was a poll on subscribestar where you had the chance to vote if you didn't like the strippers updates for us to switch back to love quests or smaller locations updates. Unfortunately paths updates like this one take months to prepare.
I said 40+ because I counted the gif version and the premium version. There is no SFW clips? I checked internally with the rest of the team but most scenes have always been 2 clips, is your suggestion, to make scenes 3 clips at least? (I'm genuinely asking) Some scenes like threesomes were 3-4 clips though. We didn't include any because we didn't find any appropriate one for the story.
So, there seems to be a confusion about my role. Well, I'm actually a programmer too + I'm making the content. I'm also in charge of publishing updates, maintaining the 3 websites we have and the 2 online versions. We are actually adding more content technically per big update, maybe this time we added a bit less videos, which seems to be what you are trying to point out? We count the content we add in terms of scenes not videos.
Thanks for your suggestions, waiting for your answer to take some more notes.
I wasn't complaining about your patreon being taken down, I understand why it happened, I said that it felt as if you guys said "fuck it" after getting the new funding source in and just kind of wanted to put minimal effort in whilst reaping the benefits of the people who diehard support you. I am not saying this is the truth, it just feels the way with the way content has been rolling out for a while (the 7 stripper rollouts), you even held a poll in the discord asking like "hey guys, should we just make a new game? we're not really sure what else we can do here"
You guys seemingly add a lot of technical content this is a big game with a lot of moving parts, but then the question becomes why put out an update every 2 weeks then instead of taking the full month to finetune it? Also, can you elaborate on what that looks like outside of new game mechanics? A lot of people aren't really focused on the gameplay, and the technical stuff you guys do add at times feels annoying and tedious to deal with and more like a barrier (for example the whole teaching system for the hs update) when I think people mostly wanted to experience the character's questlines.
There literally is a scene with Peta Jensen & Jessa Rhodes (which would be appropriate with the characters released this update) Jessa Rhodes & Madison Ivy also have a couple scenes together.
My notes for you guys would to take a poll asking if people: prefer the "slave quests & romance quests" or would prefer more new paths with less mechanics but new questlines for new girls & existing girls (akin to Irene, Nicole, etc). Maybe do a ping or a subscribestar/onlyfans/discord post asking specifically the type of content they are looking forward to seeing in Become Someone.
I'm not saying drop the romance & slave quests completely (maybe roll them out like 2 or 3 at a time instead of drip feeding them one an update for 18-19/24 updates of the year. But it's a slap in the face to be paying every month to support the game and ensure that it doesn't die just to get content that I am not interested in playing unlike other games like Back To Freedom. You don't even have to create new map art, you guys can jump around and expand old paths like you have been doing, and just focus more on new questlines or giving girls a new questline outside of a date or slave route.
I know you are saying you classify content based on scenes, but a scene can be two paragraphs in the sauna and a picture, which is technically content you're right- but it's not the content people are donating money for. I'm going based off of content people who support and diehard want to play this game are interested in which is the clipped scenes (and images which I did not count) Just to clarify that I'm not saying remove this stuff, or stop including it altogether- but let's not bullshit here, most people would not consider it content or call it a "big update" based off of that.
I want to offer you an apology on your role, you do more than I thought and the upkeep of the sites including the long videos version is probably a lot so I commend you on that. I really do love this game and want to continue to support it, which is why I'm opening up and speaking about my opinion and taking ownership of my faults.
I want to clarify once again that this is coming from a place of critical thinking, and that I am sorry for downplaying your role, I want to see you guys get back to where you were financially and I do think the shift from the drip feed of little updates to "hey we added a new girl or two new girls each with a questline" or "we gave this girl a new questline, checkout her story!" would get you guys back into the swing of things and back to where you were.
