I will keep going and give it my absolute best.
Hello everyone,
First of all, a huge thank you for your supportive comments. I’ve read them all, thank you for backing me up. I love you all.
Now, I want to explain why I created this poll today. As you know, I’ve spent countless hours on this update, with many sleepless nights redoing scenes and rewriting/recoding, aiming to give you my absolute best because I believe that’s what you deserve.
However, after releasing the update, I received some negative comments on other sites. They claimed to be my “real main audience,” even though I’ve never seen them here or on my Discord server. That’s why I created this poll: to see whether my actual audience is still with me.
I understand that some people may not like lesbian content, but lesbian content has been in the game since the very beginning. The lesbian tag has always existed. There are plenty of scenes in the intro and Zoey’s first and second missions that openly imply a lesbian relationship. At the same time, I’ve always tried to be fair by creating a good amount of straight content as well, and I will continue to keep things balanced, just like in this update.
I admit I made some mistakes in earlier updates, but I have never misled anyone here or anywhere else.
So, am I going to stop and scrap all my work? HELL NO. As long as the people here support me, I’ll keep going. I won’t try to please everyone,I tried, and it didn’t work. From now on, I’ll go with the flow and continue my story. If even one person likes my game, that’s a victory for me.
Now, I want to start working on the project again and continue where I left off, trying to bring you the best possible visual novel I can. If you hate my work, that’s totally fine,you don’t have to be here or follow me anywhere. I’m not holding a gun to anyone’s head. But if you’re with me, you will ABSOLUTELY RECEIVE THE BEST CONTENT I CAN CREATE.
The hate train on some sites only adds gasoline to the fire. I will continue creating better content, both visually and story-wise. There is only one request from you, not for myself, but because I’m still in debt to some of my teammates. Especially the animations aren’t cheap, but my animator is putting in 200% effort to give you the best results, and he will keep doing so. I can say the same for my music producer (Demon Sound) and map maker (Sculptio). Nothing is cheap, but they do their work with love and understand my situation too.
I’ve invested all the Patreon money into the game so far. Since the very beginning, I’ve only made about $200–300 and used some of that money to buy DAZ assets.What I’m saying is, I’m doing this as a hobby, making money was never my goal, but creating a good game was. I will only fail if I let negativity get under my skin and stop working on this,but I won’t stop.
Being a developer is never easy, and being an AVN dev is even harder because most of us are small individuals doing all this with no budget, trying our best. It breaks my heart to spend countless hours on the game with positive thoughts, only for some random individual to create alt accounts just to vote “stop” on a game he never supported. Or for another guy who continuously spams comments on my old posts and creates posts on my itch io page just to insult me, trash my game, and mislead new players. (This has been happening long before this update, it’s nothing new. But I only realized a couple of days ago that their insults have been on itch io all this time.)
From now on, I’ve decided not to hang out on those sites anymore and instead focus on my real audience. I’ve been trying to be friendly with everyone, but for some, that’s a weakness while for me, it’s the opposite.
Right after this post, I’ll reset my head and start working on the game where I left off.
Also I want to remind everyone who hates me of this beautiful scene.
Thank you and take care yourself.

I am only currently at the free tier (sorry for that!), and I am a dinosaur who has spent over 40 years on this planet. But I would say: "Fuck social media", backlash comes from them (and bots?), not from your Patreons.
Sorry to hear about the hate you received. For what it’s worth, I just found this game, and it’s the relationship between Zoey and Rach that has me hooked early on! You’re doing awesome work.
I’m so glad to hear that, man. I’ll keep making this better and better. There were some problems on another site, but now they’re all behind me. I’m looking forward to it and hyped about the game.
Write YOUR story!! Do what makes you happy! Ignore the noise! 🙂
i will ❤️
Well said! Only positive energy and mass bans 💪😎🎈!
Yeah, I already banned some of them from itch.io and a few of them here. They were constantly making insulting posts and nothing else.
Hi, I have just finished the latest update and I'm blown away, the story the artwork, & the music, I especially love the 80's back story jump, it helped me understand the main characters better, also as most of the main's are women and given the relationships I don't see the harm in some Lesbian content I enjoyed it and think it adds to the story, but also that you could skip or choose another path was also very good. I say keep up the good work and look forward to learning more from the 80's backstory and Zoey's adventures in present day, also more awesome tunes (who is the singer, very good) cheers.
Thank you so much, man. There’s so much lore in this and so many connections between the two timelines. In every update, I’ll show you guys piece by piece. Some parts will be very tragic, others dark and mysterious. The updates will be like this, I’ll tell the story but also include a good amount of sexual content. Of course, there will be new locations and new adventures. A lot is going to happen with Valeria and Melody. Also, in the present time, Valeria will continuously deal with ridiculous situations, while Zoey will research who’s behind all this, all while handling Calysta’s horny tricks on customers. Simply put, Calysta will try to corrupt Zoey.The singer is AI, but not just any AI, her name is "Harmony." Yes, I named my characters after her. She’s a trained, emotional model, one of a kind, and knows my music taste very well. Demon Sound really understands the kind of music I like, so she’s making music like that. We’ll bring more bangers in future updates.
As i said on F95 Keep it up, and don't let negative Nancy's ruin it, seems the Mods deleted most of my posts on there dunno why i was supportive aside from the Michael Jackson popcorn gif lol. Can i ask a question tho, was the story already planned out or has it changed? cause it went from running a restaurant to magic and ghosts etc.., while I still like it i just wondered.
Yeah, they removed all my posts too, but they didn’t ban the guy who shared my private conversation,I guess that’s completely okay there. Anyway, to get to your question, the story changed starting from v0.23. But this story was planned 1.5 years ago. I simply mixed the restaurant content with this supernatural stuff. But everything in the game will make perfect sense. Everything has a reason. I will explain this properly in my next post.
I say, do what you want. That said, as solid Hetero male, I have zero interest in Lesbian content. I tolerate it, but if thats all thats on offer, then I'm not going to be interested. If its a choice, then I can simply choose the non Lesbian route. And I'm happy. There are other games I've played where its a choice, and in more then one of those games I've yet to ever play those routes. Just wasn't interested. GGGB is an example. Great game, tons of content, including the optional Lesbian route, which I have never taken. At the end of the day though, you're the one putting in the work, and if you only want a Lesbian game, then you do you. Be prepared for people like myself though to not be interested in the final result. Not cause you're doing anything wrong or bad, but because we're just not interested in that.
I will always add both kinds of content equally, but if you play the game fully, you’ll see there’s plenty of straight content too, which I’ll keep adding more of. The lesbian part is mostly for the wholesome side and adds some depth to the story, helping me build the world better. They will always solve situations sexually,Valeria and Zoey.
god wont test the soul of his servant beyond what he/she can handle. you will be fine man🥹❤️🩹
God always opened my way wide open when I thought it was over. I will keep going and do my best, continually proving that I’m not worthless.
Be yourself. Will we be able to see Mariana without her headscarf in the future updates?
Yes, I have a couple of different hair options. I’ll find something good and suitable for her.
I don't know what region you're from, but don't be like PMA european people and quit and get upset because of some hate directed at you.
I may be a newbie and you're not interested in my opinion, but first of all, I want to say that the animations, the quality of the renders, and the main story are VERY, VERY EXCELLENT and deserve greater popularity and income for you. However, in my opinion, the people who wrote "nasty things" about the update and the game are right in one respect: the choice of direction for this update, which sent the heroine back to the 1980s, which detracted from the narrative and the story's overall interest. Something supernatural has appeared, although the main story, in my opinion, is still 20% unfinished, and that's a bit silly. I hope you'll read this and see that this might be the right thing to do. Thank you so much for making a game of such high quality!
There are a lot of things not revealed in the game yet. I’ll explain the story bit by bit in every update. Regardless, you’ll always find something you absolutely love. Thanks for the compliments, I’ll keep doing my best with both the visual quality and the story.
Keep up the great work man! I get those comments too, it's mostly the pirates who get most upset.
You probably understand me better than anyone. And hell yes, I will keep going, making this better and even greater than before.
Its a free world, and like you said, you not holding gun to anybody, you don't like it just walk away, nobody gives a rats behind what you think or have to say about A GREAT GAME that's not to crazy, have a great story, animations, good action, and no normal guy is offended by a little girl on girl action ( will be different story about boys, but that's not there so great) , and if somebody say otherwise is lying piece of ... but what do i know.. i do appreciate your game, and will play the new update to... Keep Up The Great Work and don't let those haters that can't even write a single story line.. put you down....
Thank you, man. And yes, I don’t force anyone to like my work,it’s totally okay if you don’t. We all have different tastes after all. But I hate people constantly lying, talking back, and trying to ruin my reputation everywhere, which keeps happening. I’ll just ignore them completely because now I’m focused on creating even better content than before.
Never let those nutheads get to you. If they are so all-better-knowing, why don't they create their own AVNs and show off their awesomeness? All they can do is bitch mourn and complain. Also, you create a story YOU want to see. YOU have to like it for the most part. Your audience can love it or hate it but that shouldn't steer or diminish your creativity.
What I learned from those places is that I don’t know anything and that I’m a loser, while they’re masters at creating visual novels. I’m fine with constructive criticism, it’s totally okay if people don’t like my game. But pure hatred, constant insults from alt accounts, lying about the content, and trying to trash everything I’ve done, those things I can’t accept because they influence newcomers’ decisions.
there is a loud small group of people on certain online websites who go to every game and complain about the content and in their weird world think they can bully every developer into only having their weird fetish, which often contains the i-word, into the game. I say do your vision and if there is a way for any of these sites to have a up/down vote system then encourage them to incorporate it. I believe that will give a more accurate picture of how many people enjoy your game. I think your game is very well done and has a lot of content in it.
I won’t change my game or turn it into something unlikable. I’m aware of the game’s potential, I love the characters, and there’s a big story behind all this that I haven’t revealed yet, but piece by piece, I will show it. I’m not scared of that loud crowd. They can trash my game deep underground. But there’s one thing they don’t know, if there is hate, there is love too.
🥳🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!!! WELL SAID 💅🏻!!! F-U, HATERS, YOU ONLY FUEL US 😛 AND THE FIRE ❤️🔥!!! DO IT FOR THE REAL ONES 🥰🤗!!! THE ONES THAT CARE AND MATTER AND ARE ACTUALLY PAYING AND SUPPORTING ON PATREON ❤️🫶🏻🫰🏻!!! I'M HERE FOR MY LADIES 😍🥰🤗❤️!!! And the story/journey 😅...
You’re the real one, man. Thank you! I’ll keep doing my best.
Good stuff! You will never be able to please everyone. So follow your Vision.
I’ll go with the story I’ve planned and continue making this better.
I love this is her name Valeria 😍
Sorry to hear about the hateful comments, glad that u ain’t listening to them Keep up the good work 🙂
You will only receive the highest quality content I can create. I was down yesterday and today, but I’m feeling much better now.
I have been with you from the very beginning of this journey and have backed you and your team ever since. I am not a discord person because I would be kicked off for the comments I would give to the nay Sayers to games like yours and others that express different points of view of the human nature in sexuality. Please keep up the great work you are doing.
I will, don’t worry, man. I’m already having fun doing this and can’t wait to do more.
Glad to hear this! Seriously love your game! The latest update was incredible. Great story telling, looks amazing and that soundtrack!!! As an 80's kid, that soundtrack is dead on and hits right in the feels. Just top notch all the way. Thank you for this game! Keep up the great work!
I’m not an ’80s kid, but I absolutely love the soundtracks. We will keep creating that kind of soundtrack, making this game as meaningful and hot as possible. Each update will be epic and better than the previous one, and we’ll continue like that.
There's serious lesbian content? Sounds like a good reason to support you for a bit. Which is probably more than your "real main audience" has done.
There was always lesbian content, but when I added more lesbian content with romance, they decided to trash the game in two seconds. I mean, even now the current update has 65–70% straight sexual content. I really don’t understand these people, honestly.
Nah man, keep doing what you're doing because it is absolutely some of the best work I've seen in the avn scene. Absolutely phenomenal renders and characters from what I played of the demo a while back and from what I've seen lately. Those that are saying negative things just hate just to hate because they can. I think this game is great, and it will only get better with time. Keep your head up, and honestly, keep it up at a pace thats comfortable for you and your team. Health comes first before anything.
I will start working on the update right away. At least the character doesn’t constantly say, “You’re a failure, Xell,” so it’s kinda more relaxing.
That's the mindset! Let's go man! By the way, I have visited the discord server a few times ( and stalked some streams ) and I've been here since very first update but I still wouldn't call myself as your " real main audience ". That's just nuts. Maybe legendary Jonathan Hang ? Maybe...
I'm just here for the gorgeous ladies 🥰😋... and to protect them 😍.
Make the game YOU want to make, you will never please everyone, and that's OK. You do you, make it the way you want, tell the story you want. Hater will always exist but listening to them is always a choice. Choose to be happier and let the sad little hater scrubs cry in the corner of their mother's basement, filled with poison and self loathing like the little insignificant keyboard warriors they are. 👍😀
You guys are the important ones to me, not the rest, and I’ll let them keep barking over there. I won’t even reply anymore.
I love lesbian scene in your game.
So do I did u enjoy the game
Good for you! 👍
Thanks !🧡
