In case someone hasn't noticed...
I have being a bit absent, but as I announced, since Monday I've had a lot more work in the "real world". For the same reason, it's almost certain that my weekly Thursday report won't be in the morning or afternoon (Chilean time) but at night...
Anyway, I just stopped by to comment on something interesting that might also be useful to any potential visitor who is thinking of creating an AVN (Adult Visual Novel).
Marketing is as important as the game itself. Patreon is partly Marketing, but mostly a way to receive donations. If you only use Patreon as a Marketing strategy you won't get anywhere...
Steam is the best you can do, but I will never publish this game on Steam because I don't intend to force anyone to pay a cent for it. Itch.io is another place similar to Steam and also accepts donations without requiring payment or outright selling a game like Steam does...
But about a month ago I decided to use another much less known option that I've already told you about: Oppaiman.com And it's a fact that some of you come from there.
Don't hesitate for a second to publish your game there. Also, at the moment it's totally free, they don't ask for any kind of commission or direct payment. Itch is decent at attracting some people here to Patreon, but in two months I've only gotten 651 downloads through Itch. In one month on Oppaiman I've gotten over 800 downloads... and that was until yesterday.
Today I've finally been published on Oppaiman's Patreon and all his other social media which is already drastically affecting the list of downloads I showed you a few days ago. It's still too early to see the statistics in detail, but hopefully tomorrow in the report I'll be able to go into more depth on the subject... Anyway, I can already assure you that publishing on Oppaiman has been the best decision I've made in a long time.
See you tomorrow, take care and thanks.

These are really good news! Happy to hear that! I am sure the next update will make downloads go up one gear. By the way, steam does not distribute NSFW content at all in some countries.
