Thanks for your idea, I'll think about it.Now people who just want to support just subscribe to me, giving money and immediately unsubscribe so as not to renew the subscription next month

Hello, thank you for your opinion. If you don't want or can't support the project, it's okay, you'll still get the game, just a little later The game is essentially free. I upload it here myself with a fixed frequency. I just try to give at least some bonus to those who help me.You don't have to support me or like my project, everyone has their own views and financial situation.

And thats the big difference. On itchio or oppaiman you can sell your Game, instead of monthly subscribtions. It could be an additional income. Just try it...maybe it is worth a shot. :giggle:

My opinion is that this site is more than just a pirate lagoon. It is a whole community of people and projects. Without this site I would never have known about 95% of the porn games I played. For me this site is more of a community than piracy.
you are right with this
but still its a pirate site and if ppl upload stuff that fe is'nt public - you cant do anything
if stuff like this wouldnt happen , some dev's wouldnt be where they are today
its the best promotion to get your stuff pirated - if its games movies or w/e
just saying

People gotta stop pretending that is all rainbow and sunshines... it has it's positive parts and it has it's negative parts, it's not easy black&white.

Yes, as someone in this thread already said earlier: "if your game was leaked, it means you are popular." You are right, I can't do anything to those who leak my game. Therefore, all that remains for me is to ask them not to do this, calling for honesty and conscience. It is naive, but there is no other way. Anyway I love this site and its community

Truthfully, I've subbed to peoples patreon after playing a early version here based on the content and potential of the game, including this one. Yea its a pirate site, but I think people are willing to financially support good work when they can.

I always support games that I like and keep on my computer. I just think 15-20 a month for a small monthly update is over priced. Ive gotten hours of playtime out of BaD, Intertwined and U4ia and pay 5 dollars a month support and the extra fee when updates come out. Paying 10-20 a month for a game that has relatively small playtime to me does not seem worth it . But Ill still give them 5.00 a month if I keep it and like it

Hello, thank you for your rating. I would ask you not to publish anything, I am leading this topic myself and will publish version 0.7 when the time comes
Im sure the artists the AI model is based on would ask you not to use it... pirating is pirating, the difference between Tap and a hero is that Tap makes money off it. Not taking away from the hard work and effort that goes into developing the game, but it features pirated content and uses AI models that base their work without artists consent. I'm fine with both but isn't hypocritical of you to ask people not to publish the game?

Hello thanks for your feedback. My opinion is that there is a difference between creating content based on someone's work and pirating a ready-made context. AI is trained on the style of artists, but I use this tool to create something new, based on the old. The artists themselves draw their pictures not because of the "absolute spirit of Hegel", but based on the styles and techniques of their predecessors. AI is just a user-friendly tool for creating a new one.
Draining a game is not creating a new one, it's distributing the finished one.
For example, on this site there is a guy who created his game based on my written "phone simulator" for this game, I'm not very pleased of course that he just took it, but he made his game with his story, he made something new based on my work, success to him, the main thing is that he would not I stopped and updated the engine with new ideas. Perhaps I myself will eventually find something interesting in his code.

I think the main contradiction is what is considered "other", that is, where is the degree of difference between what the creator had and what was done by the second author. All the spears break exactly on this, since everyone has a different point of view about where is already something new, and where is the border of the author's content. Here, I am afraid, there is no point in arguing, since I do not see any objective factors that would help to judge the dispute. My opinion is that my use of AI creates something completely different, for a different niche than it was originally for the author of the image style.

Thanks for the in depth response, I will reutter that is was not my intent to take away from your work or the effort you put in, i enjoy playing your game and if/when i feel that the game is up to the standard of potential it shows i intend to support it. That being said, I do think it is hypocritical to continue to ask people on a pirating site not to share the pirated content, it probably won't stop them anyway but the guilt tripping for pirating on a pirate site is a bit ridiculous. The more your game and success grow the faster the pirates will leak it, that's just a fact. personally when i see a game dev asking his subscribers not to share the content on a pirate site it puts me off of supporting that creator, im sure there are those who's thought process is "if he has time to argue on forums he has time to make a larger update ect.". So if there is no inherent monetary gain from doing so and it might possibly deter subscribers why are you so adamantly and actively fighting to not have this game be leaked? Is it simply ego? Is it that upsetting to you that there are those who pirate your game and don't pay to see your content a month earlier? Is this really worth your time?
