Important information for Bronze members
Added 2020-05-22 09:10:11 +0000 UTCAlmost every month I have realized that the game has been shared on various forums few minutes after it has been released for Bronze members. Many members have stopped supporting the game because they didn’t see any reason to support it - if the game is free at same time.
I don’t think it’s fair to all my fantastic supporters. That’s why I have decided to send all Bronze members a personalized version instead. For all existing members – you’ll get it in your Patreon mailbox instantly when it’s released.
For new members after release time/date – please allow some delay. I’ll make a setup so I can send you the link from my phone so independent where I am – I’ll be able to send it almost immediately - however sometimes I need to sleep, so please allow a slightly longer delay in that case 😊
If we succeed to keep the game behind the Patreon "wall" I'll release a WT 2 days after and many more high resolution images from the game
Thank you very much for your understanding. I know that some of you don't like it - but as long of someone sharing the game I have no other option.
Cheers
Bob
Always remember – no Patreon’s – no game – more Patreon’s - better game with more content

Good point. Well let's hope that this measure helps secure the games for the two week time frame you are wanting. Sure, there are a few third party people that can convert it. That is how I found your game to begin with. Hit me up if you want a reference to whom it was, maybe they can help you. I know they are not pirates, they just convert games already our there to android.

2020-05-26 12:48:22 +0000 UTCOk, I hope I'm wrong, I already mentioned the problem and other games show that the game mode matters and not only the art, So good luck, bye.

2020-05-26 09:55:28 +0000 UTCUnfortunately there are very few people who support a game when they can have it for free. For every supporter there are several pirates. The worst are the people who give the game to others, not the pirates who just exploit it. That's why I think that every game developer should decide for himself which way he wants to go.

2020-05-26 07:53:39 +0000 UTCAridane - thanks for your input. For me it's essential to make the best support for my Patreons. Gaining followers has never been my top priority. I do not have a USD 1 Tier as for me it will not make sense. Even a USD 1 supporter will request some support and I'll never be able to fulfill that. For me it's essential to deliver a new release every month and if somebody is stuck - I can guide them through. From the game history it's very clear that every time it's shared - the numbers of supporters drop dramatically and the only way I can keep my supporters is to protect the game behind the wall and make the game public afterwards to gain new supporters.

2020-05-26 07:13:17 +0000 UTCLuke - thanks for your input. Everything is valuable for me. I know for sure that the pirate sites are a paradox - in one site they are your enemy and on the other side they are your friends. The game will be free for everyone at a certain time. Ideal it will be 1 to 2 weeks after release for Bronze members. If pirates will accept that - there was no problem at all. Right now you can download release 8 that includes all previous releases free of charge from this Patreon site.It doesn't make sense to upload later versions as they are already multi-distributed through various pirate sites. If I succeed to keep the game behind the walls for at least a week or 2 I have no problem to make it public afterwards. Concerning Android - still working on it - but I need third part support to do it.

2020-05-26 07:04:54 +0000 UTCKickstarter is supported to have a product, pantreon supports an author of some work with money, the problem that developers forget is pantreon, there are games like Harem Hotel that come out fast in beta in F95zone, but they do not lose followers, they love the game, I support three games and this one stops doing it because it does not stop me from frustrating the progress, because I lost a clue in a dialogue of some event, in other games the clues are always in view and are usually clear, so I do not I think it is for F95zone, some maybe, it is for the game itself or there are other games that they prefer to support. I would wonder what others do to gain followers even if they put the game on forums, not fight to avoid sharing it because that will have the opposite effect.

2020-05-25 22:41:06 +0000 UTCZootographer - That all depends on the individual, yes there are some that will drop the support if there is no update with in a set amount of time. For example, the other person I support, they have not updated the game for over 4 months, BUT they are working on it and always touching back to us about it. They pump out an excellent game, supported on all devices. So majority of us will fund them no matter. Sure, the older versions may be free. but to have the latest ones, well that is kept for people supporting the development.

2020-05-24 10:04:37 +0000 UTCPsychIntent Games - You actually have a very good point there. That is how I found the game, via a pirate site who converts them to android. Ever since then I have subbed here. Hoping for a full fledged android port from the dev one day though. But that is a different story. Isn't the older ones accessible to download free? Like a demo of sorts? In any case, I am awaiting the update for us. Eager to see what is new :)

2020-05-24 09:53:01 +0000 UTCZootographer - you’re right but in real that’s not the way it works. If I look at most Patreon’s way of supporting - it very much depending on the releases. Of course I have supporters like you who act as you describe and I’m extremely thankful to all of you
Bob Bobson
2020-05-23 18:33:12 +0000 UTCTo be correct, the game itself is always 'free' Bob. You take a Patreon tier to support the developer in making his product. You do not 'buy' a product as such. Some developers have the decency to suspend their Patreon when they can not deliver within a reasonable time. Most don't and you pay your monthly tier month for month for absolutely nothing......
Zootographer
2020-05-23 16:49:21 +0000 UTCI’m aware of that. The game is free for everyone - up to release 8_0. It should be more than enough for everyone to know if they like the game or not. I also know that many got pissed when they realise that they had spend money on a game that basically was free.
Bob Bobson
2020-05-23 05:45:47 +0000 UTCIt's a two-edged sword to be sure. I would not be a paying subscriber to the game if I had not downloaded the game off of F95Zone and got hooked on it. There's always that side of things to consider as well. You need to do what you need to do in the end.

2020-05-23 04:27:07 +0000 UTCThank you for your input. I agree that release 10 was way much easier than previous releases. Release 11_0 is opposite - I can promise. Some players find it easy - other players find it too difficult. That was my way to compensate. Concerning girls :-) Some likes big boobies - some does not like big boobies - blue eyes - brown eyes etc.. I try to find a way in the middle. As you can see most of the new girls are very different. This is my way to cover as many as possible.
Bob Bobson
2020-05-22 18:24:01 +0000 UTCAbsolutely reasonable decision! I do understand, others want to play, too, but creating takes time and even costs money for hardware, your time and power usage.

2020-05-22 16:36:33 +0000 UTCThe latest versions were unsuccessful. Everything became linear. Scary Classmates with a simple photo session. In the future, looking at a screenshot of a punk boy with a big head, we expect to be disappointed. Excuse me. ИМХО.
