Demo happens the first of next month, dude.
... for people that give me money. GIVE ME MONEY! I HUNGER FOR YOUR DOLLARS! NOM NOM NOM!

>>568511
>first of next month
To my boner, that may as well be next year.
>>568517
That's quite alright. I use the suffering of unfulfilled libidos to fuel my black magic game making. Hurt some more, I have deadlines to meet!
>>568511
Yeah, why aren't you better known? It's been at least three years, you'd expect to have built up a bit more of a following by now.
>>568526
Five, and I dunno. If I did I'd fix it.
>>568528
Honestly my guess would be too vanilla. Only real sick fucks get to the game level of porn consumption. Honestly, the only reason I know about people like Shad and Akabur is they have some pretty out there shit.
Either that, or just not constantly self-promoting hard enough. I mean for fucks sake, there's people who have released almost literally nothing that make some cash off this, and it's mostly because they never shut the fuck up.
>>568528
Actually, one addon to that. I think people just burned out on Overwhored because it took so long to develop and I didn't start accepting money for it on Patreon until it was almost over. Before then I mostly paid for it out of my own pocket.
When I started it I was doing full time medical work and free time was a dream more than a reality so progress was always gonna be slow. If I started at the same time Breeding Season did and worked on it full time from the start maybe I'd be as successful. I dunno. We'll see how this next game goes profit wise to prove or disprove that little theory of mine.
>>568531
Did you choose making porn over being a doctor?
What the fuck?
>>568530
I never thought I'd say this, but Cypress really needs to shill more.
>>568534
The tragedy of it.
One of the few people decent enough not to shill, and his content is quality. And because he doesn't shill, he doesn't get the budget to capitalize on his talent.
The world is sick. God is dead. We fester in it's corpse.
>>568537
>>568530
Eh, you're probably right on both fronts. I'm pretty vanilla and I don't shill nearly enough. Honestly I posted some threads on a lot of forums and that's it. I don't really know HOW to shill all that much and until /aco/ was up I never talked about it on 4chan except a raaaare thread on /d/.
>>568533
No, I was never a doctor. I've done various things over the years - Phlebotomist, EMT, Nurse, etc. I didn't want to be a doctor. Anyway I burned out and was done with medical work either way. I don't want to go into it too much but I just couldn't handle seeing another person go bankrupt to keep themselves or a loved one alive. I came to really hate it and I don't think I'll ever go back to it. I retreated to the family farm and have mostly been taking care of cows and crops for the past few years. That's what I'd be doing if it weren't for games. I'd... really rather just do games. Cows are creepy. They just stare at you with dead, dull eyes when you walk by. God I hate cows.
>>568534
If I had a better idea of how/where to do it I probably would. Truth is I just don't like being pushy.
>>568541
I guess you were writing what you knew with those cowgirl scenes, huh?
>>568547
I don't remember how those happened but I'm pretty sure it involved Sleepymaid since Sleeps greets people by saying, "Moo" and cows are a running joke there.
Anyway it'd be awesome to have a farm full of cute girls in cow outfits. Actual cows are horrible beasts and I hate them. Goats are worse than cows and Chickens are the worst of them all.
I am moving to a city on the first of July and I am never going back to a farm again. Fuck farms.
>>568541
Games in flash tend to do better, since they get thrown up on h-game sites pretty regularly. I only know about Breeding Season because they continually got thrown up on those sites. Anything of any real substance is at a disadvantage, since the industry has no infrastructure yet. Who knows if the west will ever even embrace h-games the way the Japanese have.
LoK, but that's how I found you in the first place.
ULMF you could try.
Hongfire.
Just google hentai game forums, lurk around, see where you might land, and start a thread. Keep the tabs open, check up on them maybe once every once and a while, and keep in contact with the audience. Just talk to them. It's not even about promoting your game all the time, it's about getting people invested in you as a creator. Sure, there's something very cynical about that, but hey, two birds one stone, baby.
>>568550
How do you feel about horses? Kinda disappointed that there was a stable in one of the cities in Overwhored and yet we never got a beast scene. I get the Overmind isn't willing to share, but it could've been worked in there somehow.
>>568541
You need more social media accounts. Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and anything else you can post your stuff to and learn from the professionals how to effectively use those.
Use a thread on ULMF and other boards like it just like you'd use social media.
Also possibly use some of the 250 $ of floating money for advertisement and to get your own website up and running.
You really just need a lot more exposure. I only ever see or hear anything from you on here and only in this general (posting to other porn game generals on 4chan might be a first step).
I actually only learned about Overwhored back when 0.4 was posted to hentaibedta (where that version is still up, btw, with no link to your patreon either).
So I'd also suggest possibly going on those blogs and have them update their posts to link to a profile of yours where they can get it for free and also support you. Some hentai porn blogs get quite a lot of visitors after all.
>>568562
Just to add:
Yes, I know it's the boogeyman here, but reddit has drawn porn, porn game and porn game dev subreddits.
Basically just post everywhere you can to get as much exposure as possible.
>>568556
I have threads on all of those sites. These are the sites I put Overwhored Threads on and will put Home Invasion threads on when it goes up:
ULMF
LoK
Hongfire
MCForum
Hypnopics-collective
Hypnohub
HentaiHighschool Forums (I'm an admin there)
That's it. I totally should have shilled more but I don't know where else to go. I rarely talked on /d/ and on reddit and now talk here. If I knew other places that'd be okay with me shilling I'd shill there.
Oh, I did have a tumblr account and got 10k or so followers but it was mostly about hypnosis photo-manips and hypno-audio files I made; those followers didn't translate into game players and I got annoyed by a flood of girls on tumblr asking me for custom audio files so I deleted it. It was called Overwhored.
>>568558
I won't include a beast scene because I'm not into it, but I WILL tell you my thoughts on fucking goddamn horses. Every morning - EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN MORNING I am woken up by a horse.
Why? My neighbors have like 15 of them and my bedroom is right next to the fence between our property. So when they get fed in the morning there's an endless storm of thundering hooves and whinnys.
I. HATE. HORSES.
You know funny enough though I do love one aspect of farming. Actual farming. Plants are great. I like growing plants and I like taking care of them. I'll probably get an apartment but I'd love to keep a garden in the future. Just no farm animals. They're all universally awful.
>>568562
I do have a twitter.
https://twitter.com/CypressZeta
Did somebody say "Shill on /weg/ as a test run until your demo is done and then shill all over the place"?
Because that's all I heard
As a team of four with over half going to the artist, we would also like your shekels
I even quit my shitty full time job to find a shitty part time job so I can work on Korra Trainer more
The scary thing is, as okay as we're doing, CGs aren't even really on booru sites yet
And what the fuck does it take to get a ULMF account, I've sent two emails already
https://www.patreon.com/mindbreakstudios?ty=h
>>568569
Oh look.
Another maggot writhing around, reminding us what a blighted existence we suffer.
Go make your game, come back when you actually have something to offer.
>>568567
I just searched for Overwhored on duckduckgo.
I found some things, but not your twitter and hardly any threads on those forums.
I was more thinking of a forum thread not necessarily based on a game, but you as a developer, where you basically post all your updates, just like you would post them to other social media. The first post should also include a link to all of your social media and your games or threads for them.
All your profiles everywhere should be linked to each other.
>>568569
We told Cypress to shill, because he's actually proven he gets shit done. Far as I know, you haven't.
>>568574
Fair enough. I'll have to figure out which forums won't kick me off for doing it but I'll try to get that done in the next few days.
>>568573
>>568575
We can make our game faster with your help! : ^)
I mean, CZ just pointed out he made a Patreon towards the end of Overwhored. Doesn't it logically follow that it would have been an easier time of it had one been started sooner?
>>568569
Fucking hell, when does it end, God?
>>568575
7 months.
With a Patreon.
Two scenes.
Granted, the actual content isn't bad. The pace, though, is fucking glacial.
>>568577
I'm giving you money, but knowing you're spending most of it on DearEditor's geological pace is kind of a bummer. You have the worst deal, believe me.
>>568576
I've also been snooping around, because, hey, I like you.
Nice voice, btw.
Anyway, yeah, take this with as many grains of salt as you'd like. My advice would be to just try to stick to a regular update for the general populace. No need to be insanely detailed, just keeping people abreast as to what's going on. Like, once a week, once every two weeks? Keep people interested without bashing it over their heads. Then stick around to answer questions, or just shoot the shit like you're doing now. I'll tell you right now, I recently got fired/almost died, but when finances stable out you're getting a few shiny coins from me.
Keep it up.
>>568504
This demo isn't much right? Only thing you can do is have lvl 1 fights with your army?
>>568584
It's just showcasing the mechanics right now.
>>568578
God hates all of us in Her own special way.
>>568579
Don't forget the artist change and art loss too
Really put up those incompetence points where they belong
I'm sure if we all throw enough money at the problem, it'll be solved
>>568580
Goes faster the more important it becomes to her
I hope
>>568580
Artists are slow and finding reliable ones (even for good money) is hard. That's why I swapped so many times between artists and hired so many different people at the same time when I made Overwhored. It let me try out a lot of people with a kind of "shotgun" approach to see who would get things done quickly and well. It isn't easy. That's not me making excuses for someone else, just making it clear it isn't easy to figure out and I get why it'd happen.
>>568583
Thanks on the voice compliment. And yeah, I'll try to do that. It's pretty damn hard for me to chat all the time and put up news updates. I'm good for work, not so much for chatting. I'd rather hire someone but I just don't have the cash to spare right now with the move coming up.
>>568589

Oh, and look at Asa Akira's twitter. It's one of the best out there and gets exposure even outside of porn websites.
>>568587
All right, all right, I'll keep throwing money at you and we'll see how it goes.
>>568593
Thanks to you and everyone else for the awesome advice. I'm gonna go to sleep, but I'll read anything else you all have to say as soon as I wake up, and rest assured I'll take pains to shill harder than ever in the coming days.
You only have yourselves to blame.
>>568526
People on this website don't pay for software and they're a bunch of toxic nerds that don't do well on mouth to mouth advertising either. If he wants money, then he should go to hongfire, ulmf and the furry forums.
>>568596
Eh, we'll just ignore you like we ignore everybody else. Don't worry about it.
>>568596
Sleep tight and don't let the horses eat you.
>>568595
Well, at the rate we're going, I really do have more time
Should be banging out a script every 2-4 days now that I just write from dusk til dawn

This shit's a step up from living in my car, but that's about it
Weird thing in Milf Control, I have the lockpick but the game keep saying I don't have anything to unlock the door in the church
>>568680
Welcome to a game that is, in fact, dogshit.
>>568680
You need two different things, IIRC. Dunno what those are anymore, though.
>>568680
The first door of the church can only be hopened with the key. It's in the garden behind the church

Oh.
Oh so he doesn't do anything, then.
>>569028
Now that's entirely unfair. They are putting a lot of work into pretending to make a game/mod after all.
>>569024
Enjoy not being able to post images or URLs until you have 15 posts, because this is clearly the best way to prevent spam. Upgrading your 7 year old vBulletin version is overrated.

What about sarah's life, does anyone have it?
damn I've been playing unfinished porn games all day
>>569131
Welcome to the club, anon.
>>569131
Well, tomorrow you'll be looking for updates to those unfinished games.
and the next day.
and the next....
I just want more Something: Unlimited or Rogue-Like .... Sigh. Maybe by the end of summer.
>>569024
See if one of the mods is online and PM them. I got my account enabled after about 20 minutes.
>>568492
uhm, guy, the pastebin for the demo/beta games appears to be removed/empty to me
is it the same for the rest of you?

Hey all, I'm here and wanted to tell you there's gonna be a stream doing some color work on the first sex scene in Home Invasion.
https://picarto.tv/brellom
>>569537
Sweet.
>>569537
That's the spirit!
>>569526
yes and it still says page no longer available. weird
>>569526
weird
it worked now
third's time the charm, I guess
if you could have one series get a full WEG what series would you choose?
>>569677
Code Geass
>>568530
Akabur had been at it for nearly, or over, a decade before he became a hit with Princess Trainer.
Even his earlier games are not well known.
Shad is extremely prolific, takes commissions for ANYTHING, anf lots of his images became infamous, or even got some meme status because of shock value.
Plus, both do a lot of fanart that gets shared in sites like Paheal and have thousands of friends in Hentai Foundry.
In Something: Unlimited, Grodd appears and says he'll give you a piece of Braniac for one trillion dollars. Is there actually something that happens if you grind that much, or has that mechanic not been put in yet?
>>569853
thats a dead end because thats supposed to trigger the end of the game. you can cheat in 1 trillion pretty easily but there is no way to contact him and he doesn't show up again. it also doesn't say anything if you have a trillion when he first shows up
>>569853
Shit, I miscalculated! I'm at 100 million, and I was thinking I was 10% there, not 0.01%
That's not happening.
>>569537
Right, the game portion of the stream is over. Brell's gonna do other stuff now. For those that stopped by and watched I hope you enjoyed it!
>>569891
How much would be needed to update the CGs in overwhored? or is that something you're not going to touch again?
>>569903
I could work on Overwhored forever. I won't. At some point even if it's flawed you just gotta call something done and move on.
I'm just learning from it and making sure I do better with new games.
MatM 0.04 when
>>568589
I think if I were to make a porn game I'd try to get one person to do sketches for all the art, then move on to lineart, then move on to coloring, in case of people dropping out. At least then you'd be guaranteed a unified aesthetic even if it wasn't necessarily a COHERENT one.
>>569929
tomorrow
>>569929

Is there anything in soldiers life apart from the troop management minigame?

>>568504
What's this one about?
>>568503
So they're not gonna make that Raven game huh?
>>569957
I'm experimenting with that approach for Home Invasion, though not all the sketches are done at once. There's too much that has to be done before some things can be drawn.
>>570304
oh lord not the livestock.
>>570019
Not yet.
>>570394
They dropped it after SunsetRiders7 was told by patreon they had received a DMCA about Injustice.
Yo all. I'm gonna put this up on Patreon tomorrow morning and start shilling all over the place on various sites but I wanted to put this up for people that missed the stream earlier.
This is what the Home Invasion art is lookin' like.
Remember that I love shekels! Deposit yours here so I can keep making hot stuff:

>>570482
Good work cz, youre the only bearable dev on /aco/
>>570588
What is it that you like?
That he takes /weg/ seriously?
That he's only shilling hard now that he has success behind him?
I'm really asking, not trying to be a dick
>>570627
I like that he actually accomplishes shit. Which, again: more than anyone can say about you.
>>570627
>That he's only shilling hard now that he has success behind him?
Personally, yes, that's the one.
I also don't think he takes us seriously: he takes his own work seriously, which then reflects in the way he talks.
>>570482
>blue imp doing linework
Great choice
>>570627
>notice me sempai
It's because even though he had the same struggles that you did, he handled them 1000% better. It's because when shit got rough, he pushed through, rather than something like 5 months of nothing. He's been doing this for 5 years and deserves some credit for a decent game (granted, not a huge fan of RPGMaker, but it's one of the few I cared about enough to play through). It's because he's proven himself worthy of our respect.
It's the same reason why people like UE over in /stg/. Even though his quality is, admittedly, worse than yours, he's at least making something. Regularly. He keeps in contact with the fans. He doesn't let his weaknesses cripple him, and understands how to rely on his strengths. He doesn't strike while the iron is hot, he instead makes it hot by striking.
You got paid for 7 months and you only have two requests fully fleshed out, with absolutely no gameplay besides the scenes themselves. And, hey, I like those scenes, but they should have taken a month, at the MOST to make. Not 7.
I'm rooting for you man. I really and truly am, because you write well, you aren't a complete spastic, and you can help grow this little fucked up cottage industry we're all trying to make. But if you keep making excuses for why you failed, instead of looking for solutions, we're going to leave you in the fucking dust.
Get your shit together.
>>570639
*art quality
*absurdly lower quality
Cypress I might just be forgetting something, but why did Joy need you to collect the other heroines?
I mean other than Nanshe who was needed for the fertility potion, why did she need you to gather them?
>>570627
I honestly said it to trigger tropic but you'll do
>>570655
Our very existence triggers tropic. Our creator has forsaken us.
I'm just saying if any of you guys ever do a game based on Kingdom Hearts it would probably finally get me to actually give money, and I'd shill you for free.
game where a trap is abused when?
>>570667
Not... not the worst idea I've ever heard, actually.
>>570667
I'm personally hoping for a cyberpunk /weg/ where you're a hacker or technomancer jacking the cyberbrains of hot bitches to build a harem of increasingly well connected women as you climb the ranks of your megacorp, eventually becoming the CEO of the most powerful megacorp in the world. You'll stand on the backs of your competition as their companies get slowly dissolved into your web of blackmail, sex, and cybernetics.
>>570697
How's Four Houses going?
>>570701
Dunno. Been away for a couple weeks. Last I heard, they were working on scripting and animation and shit for Susan's core scene. My Drive folder got updated a few times. When I get home, I'll see if they put it in to the alpha.
Me and Artguy got our weekly Skype call tonight, first in a fortnight. If you have a burning question that's actually serious, I'll write it down and ask him. I might even post answers, but no promises. I'm not gonna break his trust, but I'll see what I can do.
>>570633
>>570634
>>570639
Fair enough
I will say though that I've only gotten $26 and that was just last month. Everything else went to the art. It's gone from "Let's see how far I can get" to "Let's start putting real time in" for me.
But yeah, I can do that
I figure I can start pumping out a script in 2-3 days for most scenes and 4 days for first phases only because of the damn dialogue tree
I really just have to find a better way to decide on which expressions to use with what dialogue because it takes forever
Anyway, enough talk I guess, back to work
>>570655
Maybe a little bit yes
Oh well
>>570707
>If you have a burning question that's actually serious, I'll write it down and ask him.
No, not really, I just wanted to know if you were still going along with it.
>>570707
Yeah, I've got one.
Why in the fuck don't you put out what you have already? Do you see the fucking state of affairs? We don't care if it's not finished as long as it's not complete horseshit.
>>570708
Carry on, perverted soldier.
>>570708
Don't get discouraged. Overwhored shouldn't have taken five years to make. It took that long because I was working while doing it. There were patches of half a year or more without updates at times.
And don't bother getting jelly about the fact these guys seem to like me right now. This is 4chan. The fact that there are people who like me means that in a while some people will get super polarized and others will hate it and get anti-polarized and my name will be anathema. That's how it works; 4chan isn't allowed to like anyone for long, so I'm pretty happy my income doesn't rely on 4chan. I'm glad people here like me right now but I suffer under no illusion that's going to last. Nature of the beast. You've got to be able to handle the good times with the bad.
As an aside I'll give you the advice I give every other aspiring game dev: Go do other work and do this as a hobby until you have something finished. Just make sure that you finish it. I managed it by making it a matter of honor, as corny as that sounds. If I failed to complete Overwhored my word would be mud and I'd have to go commit Sudoku, so that's what kept me going. Figure out whatever will keep you going, just make sure you're not too ambitious with your first project. Yours doesn't seem too bad but it's important to make a solid and well defined plan and STICK to it. Vague stuff that spirals out of control rapidly becomes impossible to finish.
As for what you do as a main job it doesn't matter. Flip burgers if you have to, just get a job you can live on and plug away at your game in whatever spare time you've got.
>>570649
I thought she explained it in game. Mostly they were a danger to her plans. Though corrupted they weren't under her control. I forget but I think the virtues probably had something to do with opening the gate to heaven as well. I dunno, I have forgotten a ton about Overwhored already.
>>570774
>I have forgotten a ton about Overwhored already.

That's really going to make me support you on Patreon.

how many of these games are NOT in RPG maker? and why do these games use it to begin with? how did RPG maker become so associated with porn?
>>571076
>how many of these games are NOT in RPG maker?
SU is Unity, Akabur's stuff is RenPy. Overwhored is RPG Maker, but Home Invasion is also going to be RenPy, as far as I know. Then there is Twine, RAGS and QSP stuff. Don't have a complete overview of all the games for each engine though.
>and why do these games use it to begin with?
Fairly easy to use with a lot of community assets available and plenty of tutorials. So you don't have to create all assets yourself and you can get away with way less art than you would need for making a game in another engine.
>how did RPG maker become so associated with porn?
They did not. That's really only when you browse the porn gaming communities. There are more than enough RPG Maker games completely devoid of porn.
>>570774
Goddamn it negro, I need more Overwhored in my life

You get my support when you start putting out content. I give 10 to marble syrup and champion of lust. You get nothing.

Once Home Invasion is done, the next project will be Overwhored 2.
Malice and the Machine update when???
>>571175
Overwhored is finished?
Don't tell me i have been playing an old version

Goddamn Cypress you are so fucking based. God bless you and your team.
I heard this http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/showthread.php?t=27091 was getting released today. Any patrons that have any news?
>>571181
never
>>571320
If it comes out someone will make a thread, don't worry about it.
>>571327
It will be out within 8 hours or be delayed.
>>571377
All right, we'll see how it goes.
>>570949
How do I use them?
>>570918
Why do the premium scenes seem blank?
The PREMIUM ONLY is gone, but the scene is empty anyway
>tfw actually too fucking stupid to figure out how to use Renpy
>>571519
If that is the case, you should seriously go and have a professional check whether you are retarded.
It even comes with a tutorial taking you by the hand to explain how to use that shit. A 10-year-old could probably follow that tutorial.
>>571590
Once the tutorial lets go of my stupid baby hand, I'm immediately and impossibly lost. I'm probably legit mentally handicapped in some way.
>>571604
Now unless you actually go and learn Python, you won't be able to make complex stuff like Unteralterbach, which intentionally stretched RenPy to see what it can do, but you should really be able to make a VN. Literally all you need is explained in pretty simple ways.
>>571604
the fact that you can form a sentence with commas and periods and also have the sense of self necessary to consider that you might be considerably retarded is proof enough that you're probably not a total mongoloid. the more likely thing is that you're probably just adhd as fuck and not actually retaining any information during the tutorial but instead just clicking through because you think you're a fast learner, when in reality you're just fast
look at it like this:
there's two cars driving on an empty road
car 1 is going 200mph but the driver is texting and talking to his nagging girlfriend about her stupid fucking friends and her terrible job and how he never takes her out to dinner anymore and blah blah fucking blah and then the car spins sideways and flips because he spilled his slurpee on his crotch because the dog jumped out of the backseat into the front
car 2 is also going 200mph but the driver is alone in the vehicle and totally focused 100% on driving that fucking car because holy shit 200mph is really fucking fast and he can't afford any of his concentration to be misplaced or he's going to die like an idiot who no one will remember for anything other than crashing at 200mph on an empty road
your brain is car 1 right now, but it needs to be car 2 in order for you to learn anything with any level of retention
you can be car 2 if you learn some concentration skills/get some goddamn adderall
>>571519
You're probably a non-programmer trying to be a programmer. I see it often with my work, these gamer kids will show up thinking that they have aptitude for programming just because they waste a lot of time on a computer.
Sure, Ren'Py is babby's first programming language, but that doesn't help if you just can't get into the mindset of a programmer.
>>571630
That's a lot of projection with literally no basis in fact whatsoever. Interesting to see what you (probably) think about yourself, though.
>>571647
He might have a point.
And to make something simple in RenPy, you definitely don't have to be a programmer.
>>571694
That is entirely correct, but you still need to understand the syntax of the language. To some people, this image is terrifying and incomprehensible to them.
What advice could you really give someone like that?
>>571085
>Home Invasion is also going to be RenPy, as far as I know.
Tyranobuilder, actually. Not that it makes much of a difference. It's so easy to assemble that I could swap over at some point in the future if Tyranobuilder doesn't work out for some reason.

Greatly appreciated anon.

What the fuck does any of that mean? What is a generic porn .url and why wouldn't you be able to delete it in any circumstances?

Can you stick to one artist this time instead of having several do scenes? I mean now that you are going full Jew I don't see why you couldn't tbqh
>>572020
I thought you fucked off forever this time.
>>572026
I'm not really tropic mate
I'm just shitposting
Aspiring dev here, which games have a good balance between gameplay and H content? I need this for research
What I mean by balance is there's enough gameplay to make you wait for CGs, but not so much that it's a hassle and you just want those damn CGs.
>>572036
Shit posting only leads to more shit posting.
But yeah I didn't pay enough attention.
>>572037
Violated Heroine
Best H game never completed.
>>570843
the truth is you got no game, four houses is just a concept and damn good long con
>>572020
Once I have enough money I can do that. Right now I have to sit in the commission queues with the rest of you because I don't have enough to buy an exclusive contract.
So give me money if you want that.
>>572056
>Right now I have to sit in the commission queues with the rest of you
Jesus, that sounds awful when you consider that all the good artists have month long waiting lists and when they open they get fucking closed after 10 minutes.
>>572082
It's exactly as awful as you think it is. A few days worth of work for an artist can take months and months. Thus I spread out the workload to multiple artists to make things go faster.
It's 10:15 pm where I am I"m going to call it Malice and the Machine is being delayed again. That's game development for yeah shit happens.
>>572100
Oh, and I should add one thing to this: Success can remove an artist from my projects.
It has happened in the past that I promote an artist and they get so full up on commissions they're booked up for several months in advance. I'm then unable to commission them myself and I can't use them anymore.
Part of the reason for my current team is that several have proven they WON'T do that or will make time for me even if they have commissions lined up until next year. Mindwipe in particular is awesome. Dude does his work quickly and well, doesn't need babysitting and ALWAYS makes time for me if I need something. I love him, he's glorious and has been flat out the best person I've ever worked with.
>tfw decent at art but shit programmer
>but definitely don't want to make a VN
>so have to learn programming to make any of these prebuilt "make your own text and picture game!" things not just more generic shit

Post art
>>572037
MGQ was pretty good. Pretty basic combat system but there was some clever fights and genuinely heartwarming characters and conversations. Normally I'm not a fan of "porn when you lose" but since you could restart the fight after Ilias chastised you for being a filthy whore it wasn't bad at all.
Legend of Queen Opala series is infamous for having the ratio heavily skewed in favor of grindy shit gameplay with bad h-scenes as a reward. If you want an example of how NOT to do it I guess.
>>572139
You could always join forces with a programmer.
>>572139
>decent at art
At least show us some example of your art.
>>569078
>>569122
After missing the last update I was expecting there to be a decent amount of content. But after going through the game and then extracting the game files to make sure I didn't miss anything I was surprised to see there was less in the last 2 updates to the game than the last single update before them. I wonder if the creator saw how much it was getting pirated and decided to start halfassing with content fumes like every other porn artist on patreon
>inb4 entitled pirate
>>572287
Nah, that's normal for most developers.
You're hugely motivated and excited and you work hard at the get go and then once you get something done you realize just how much work there is in front of you and you naturally slow down.
So, I heard there was an exploit in something unlimited for infinite money.
how do?
>>572139
>be programmer that is meh at art
>make my game anyway because it's fun
I figure I could commission an artist better than me, but it's not like anyones going to pay me for this if I do get around to releasing it since i'm a nobody. For that reason I have no issues using my own art
>>572113
So, supposedly 0.04 just came out, anyone play it yet?
>>572362
If you're a person who can't draw for shit, what are your options outside of commissions? Is there even an audience for text-based erotic games outside of a couple exceptions?
They had to pull the release because of a bug. The new link should be up soon.
>>572658
Me neither, I'm just posting info
>>572642
Yeah, look at TFGamesSite. All of their most popular games are text-only.
>>572139
There's loads of potential programmers in here. All you have to do is post some of your art.
>>572127
You're the best. Keep on keepin' on, slugger.
>>572642
There's an audience for everything. I'm working on a text game similar to CoC without the furry stuff because I have no artistic talent and no originality but people still play it. As long as you aren't trying to game the market and get rich I assume you could release pretty much anything you wanted and someone would play it.
>Malice and the Machine
>0.FUCKING ZERO 4
I'll die in WWIV before this shit gets released

I mean the finished game numb-nuts
>>572847
Looking at late 2017 release if you're lucky and that's if they get more paterons so they can bring in more artists full time.

>all those flash movies from 13 years ago are still there
Hey, I cant remember what commands are needed for console in Renpy games.I got the console workings but I cant remember the commands to add shit like money.
I don't understand how all these patreons for games using copyrighted characters haven't gotten sued/cancelled by now.
>>572037
Vitamin Quest, Sengoku Rance.
>>572985
Most civilized nations have laws protecting parodies.
>>572985
Something Unlimited get something like this
>>572985
Most companies don't give a shit about some random porn game, as long as you have the decency to name it something nebulous.
>>572988
That only happened because the dev was an idiot who used a copyrighted name for his game and at no point in time even implied that anyone other than the rightsholder was creating it. That's like if Akabur named Witch Trainer "Warner Brothers Presents: Harry Potter's Friend Getting Blackmailed and Fucked"
>>572992
This, most common copyright type REQUIRES copyright holders legally defend their copyrighted name, or they lose the copyright
when it comes to vague art reproductions its much more lenient
>>572987
this as well
>>572991
this too, they only really care about it if you are threatening their profits, otherwise they'll only do what is required of them to retain their privileged position
>>573012
I had completely forgotten about this.
