Thanks, I definitely appreciate that. And I know, although it helps to be reminded. I'm in the comments every day, for both games, and the vast, vast majority of the comments are supportive, even when they're discussing issues with the game, or things they wish were different. I stand by what I said: people are absolutely allowed to dislike the game, in part or entirely. They're NOT allowed to be rude assholes, to me or the others here, so unfortunately I do have to hand out a ban every once it a while, but it's only been needed a handful of times. 

I'm very careful to listen to feedback and not get too far up my own ass, and it's a delicate balance. If a lot of people have a problem with something, it's probably important. But if only one or two do, AND they have a history of being disruptive for no good reason, there's not much a dev can do after a certain point, nor is there much point in doing it. There are various built-in costs of doing something like this, and one of them is having to handle these kinds of situations from time to time.

But yeah, I've thought and commented frequently that I don't deserve you guys. The support has been wild, and it really helps when I'm struggling with a thorny bit of art or programming. I still can't get over the fanart. Someone made CS-themed DRINKS.

I should clarify terms just in case there's confusion here: more boar scenes (and other carry-over scenes) are planned for the THIRD GAME, or CHAPTER 3. They won't be a part of the third CONTENT PACK however. I THINK that's what you're saying, just wanted to be sure.

Aw thanks! Same, I definitely enjoy the oral stuff, but ironically that makes me cautious to not overdo it, so this game was actually a little dry there at first. Think it's pretty solidly supplied now though. As for mechanics, I always try to avoid being TOO samey, and the content packs especially are a good opportunity to test some stuff once I'm finished with the main game.

I actually had a bit of that "don't cum" mechanic in the first one, though it was fairly simple. I have a fairly good idea of what this last bit is going to be, but will definitely keep it in mind for future stuff.

But thanks! Glad you're enjoying it.

Each game has a new villain and henchmen of a new species, yes. Though there have been, and will continue to be some recurring situations and characters as well.

Edit: Doomfurry turned off replies, so I'll simply replicate his last post, and my reply, at the bottom of this one.

Everyone has different price points, and different value expectations. If this game doesn't meet yours, you're certainly free to not buy in the future. 

Indie games and studio games are not directly comparable. Small games tend to come at a premium because they can't leverage scale like large production games can. Old games are not directly comparable to new games, value decays over time. Regular games are not directly comparable to porn games, for a variety of reasons: the bespoke aspect again, among others. But also because they serve a different niche. If you're looking for fast-paced FPS action, Cruel Serenade is not going to deliver. If you're looking to get off...I mean I'm sure SOME people can use Doom 2016 for that, but most would be hard-pressed to. 

If your objection is "This game isn't the most possible fun a person could have for $10!", you're probably right. There are a nearly infinite number of ways you could spend those ten dollars thanks to the internet, even if you restrict yourself to just video games. That's an impossible standard, and one I don't aim to meet. My value proposition is that there's enough content on offer to make the $10 worth-while, and at eleven scenes (many with multiple iterations), multiple smaller bits, multiple battle sex mechanics, stealth mechanics, and something like seven hours to see everything overall, I'm confident that most people will find it satisfying. There's always some subjectivity to these things of course. Personally, I couldn't get past the first few rooms of Tailbound without cheating because the difficulty spike is so rapid, and I didn't find the explicit content especially engaging, so for me it was a bit of a let-down. Obviously others have enjoyed it.

What it comes down to, however, is this: This game took a little over a year to make. With the two packs, at least a year and eight months. The price is good where it is, at least for the foreseeable future. Either the game's worth that, or it isn't worth anything.

And most people seem to be happy with that price point. But again, if the game isn't your thing, and you'd rather not buy in the future, that's fine. That's entirely your choice. As you've pointed out, there are plenty of other options out there. I make games, I put them up, and people buy them if they like what's on offer. If you don't, that's ok. If other games get you off better, play those, by all means! Just understand I never had any intention of competing with Left 4 Dead or Doom. That's not the sandbox I'm playing in.

Doomfurry96: 

That's a long winded way of saying "I already got your money, and I don't care". Here's a business tip, a majority of the people who have an issue, don't complain, I do. Your meager justification of "everyone is happy" is false. Your response to the various other options is that you don't care, and your response to a very much comparable priced game, gerne, and style is pretty much that you don't like it because you suck at video games. 

Be that way then, and since you've shown your true colors, all I have further to say, is go fuck yourself.

BitshiftGames:

It's unfortunate you feel that way. I'm always glad to engage earnestly, and on the merits, that's how things improve. But it's clear from your comment history you're uninterested, or unable to discuss things in a meaningful and respectful way, and that means any further discussion genuinely would be a waste of time.

Thanks! Will definitely try.

Just flavor, there's nothing down there. I wanted people to not miss the alleys, to think of them as places you could go, so when they started grabbing clients they went "Oh right, the alleys." So the bars and signs are just there to draw attention.

If that's what you're looking for, I highly recommend the "trained" end with Mahir, the one involving the charm. Consequences of that will carry over to the third game. In a more broad sense, eh, it depends. Obviously corruption does effect gameplay, in a number of ways. Certain areas, like the Center Path and Host Club aren't even options until you've "loosened" him up a bit, and the alleys have an entirely different mechanic once you're corrupted enough.
As for Raspy Voice, will have to wait and see :D.

Thank you, definitely appreciate that. Skill is somewhat relative, obviously. I would say that as objectively as I can look at it though, my stuff still has a ways to go, for a variety of reasons. Not enough depth, not a strong enough sense of anatomy and posing, not enough variety in composition, barely any understanding of drapery and the physics of clothing, I could go on. But it's been good enough to work so far, and I improve bit by bit. With any luck maybe I'll finally be fairly happy with my progress by the time I hit the fifth game. I will admit I'm already far better than I ever expected to be though. There really is something to be said for just putting in the time. 

Glad you're enjoying the mechanics though. Lot of imperfections there too, but I definitely think there's enough to have fun with, and I've had a lot of fun working out new stuff there. Heck of a lot of content overall too, for a $10 game. I think we're past seven hours now to see everything? Assuming no text skipping.

But yeah, you have remember you get to experience the game in the ideal way: playing through it a couple times, then setting it down. I've spend nearly two years now basically living inside GT, day after day, so I see the imperfections a bit more keenly. But I am still proud of it, and I agree with you, it has a lot to offer. 

Thanks, appreciate it!

They should work fine, but it's more about position in the story. As long as the save is from before meeting Mahir the first time, it should be fine. If it's after, you're going to end up running into glitches because a few things got re-arranged.

Aw thanks! Yeah, expressions help, or hurt a lot, so I try to really nail them. I try to make the whole picture good of course, but most people aren't taking out a magnifying glass to check every little thing: it's mostly about the energy, and most of THAT is in the face.

Won't say any more specifically on what the final job might be, will leave it with what I've said so far.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of nose scrunch. Will have to try to get that in more often.

And thanks! Nothing too dire, just the kind of bullshit that rears its head every so often.
