I did try that before but it unfortunately never worked out long term for a variety of reasons. I brought on 3 people in the past but it's rather difficult to split the work up because about 75% is focused on creating the renders in Daz. Someone who could take that on is already capable of creating their own VN, so why would they do all that work for a revenue split when they could take home all the revenue on their own project?

This leaves the remaining 25% of the workload for writing, coding, promotion, etc. It's extremely uncommon to find people who have a skillset in more than one area so that means they can only do a smaller portion of that remaining 25% (writing only, coding only, etc.). It's already hard enough finding one person to work with, finding multiple fitting people is even more so.

For me, I would have to find someone who is damn near a perfect match for the exact areas I need help in. The right candidate would also need to have a compatible schedule and be willing to work for no or low pay in the hopes that the project will take off.

All that to say splitting the work is complicated.

Yes, version CC is the final release. While more was planned, the development of this project had ended. If you would like more context then please read the comment chain directly below this one.

After enough content updates have been released, the price may go up for the project as a whole. However, similar to Steam's Early Access model, buying a copy grants access to all further updates at no additional charge. So if you paid $9.99 for the 1080 version, you still get all future updates even if the price increases later on.

Production of this project has ended indefinitely, and will not receive any further updates for the foreseeable future. I just wanted to give my first project its last hurrah by fixing some of the glaring issues so I could finally set it aside and move on

It would take a lot of money and time to resume production which I don't imagine being possible for years from now. For all intents and purposes, this project has been cancelled and is unlikely to ever return. I wish that wasn't the case, but reality is what it is.

Correct, production of this project has ended indefinitely, and will not receive any further updates for the foreseeable future. I just wanted to give my first project its last hurrah by fixing some of the glaring issues so I could finally set it aside and move on.

I would say this release represents a complete first act, but the entire story was intended to be much longer. Unfortunately, I can't afford to continue production on Fantasy Dating to its completion at this time, so it will remain unfinished.

I'm glad you liked Fantasy Dating and I hope you and all players can enjoy what's available. Make sure to stick around after the credits start rolling to see some concept art.

After spending a few hours messing around with the SDK, the Android version is now available. I did have to change how text centered on the screen is displayed. While it may not be the prettiest port, it is functional at least. Seeing as the total size was only 546 MB, I did not compress the images any further so the images should look nice on larger screens like tablets.

I've looked it up and, at the moment, GOG operates on an "invite only" basis. I could submit my game but I doubt it would be selected at this stage of development. I eventually want a Steam page, but again, it'll need to be further along in development before that option becomes realistic.

I don't have an Android device to test on and troubleshoot. The current demo build was made by a kind user on F95. I could try making my own, but I doubt it would be as user-friendly as someone who knows what they are doing. Besides that, I don't feel comfortable charging for something that may not work properly and that I might not be able to fix.

This visual novel features a futanari protagonist, no other options are available and this project is no longer in production.

Buy once, all updates are free.

Oh, I see. The male protagonist will have options to be penetrated, but I don't foresee heavy domination or BDSM elements in this game.

I'm sorry, but I'm not exactly sure what your question is. Are you asking if there are femdom or dominant female elements and a customizable femdom name like "mistress"? If so, the answer is I plan to add scenes with the female protagonist as the dominant role in an erotic scene. However, that may not quite meet the definition of femdom.

I'm sorry if you don't feel you got your money's worth, but I made no claims about the size of available content in my initial response. As the game is still in development, content additions will vary in size, and the time it takes to play through it is player dependent.

If price is the primary concern then there are lower-cost options such as the $3 tier on my Patreon and SubscribeStar pages. That tier gains access to the game with a delay of 3 weeks after becoming available to the highest tier.

However, I still want anyone who pays for my content to enjoy their purchase. Feel free to refund the itch.io purchase and wait until further updates have been released before making your decision whether or not to purchase again. Please let me know if there is any issue with the refund process and I will personally communicate with itch.io support to resolve it.

Yes, all updates are free. The 4k version will be coming out soon for $14.99. All the content is the same between versions, just higher resolution images (and a larger download size).

I'm glad you liked it. It's unfortunate that this project appealed to more niche tastes than I thought it would. Granted, some of the fundamental design decisions I went with massively reduced the potential audience. A few highlights of things players took issue with were the  Futa MC's face being hidden (apparently only acceptable for Male MC's), male love interests (especially in a POV context), and inability to choose love interests (I instead focused my efforts on kink choices).

Given the nature of how I wrote the story and coded it in Ren'Py, I couldn't reasonably change any of those aspects without a major restructuring of the game mechanics, plot, and characters.

To access beta testing features go to the About section on the main menu. There will be a link to a forum thread that has the code and explains what features it enables.

Join the general channel and chat there.

If you like, please join my Discord server and we can talk about it there.

I don't speak any other languages besides English. I know sometimes players volunteer to translate for other games, but no one ever offered to do that for me.

The highest tier and itch.io paid release is up to 4 weeks (28 days) before the public release. Other lower cost tiers vary by a week (3 weeks for the next tier down, then 2, then 1). And while the itch.io version is $3 cheaper than the highest tier, that tier has other benefits such as Behind The Scenes posts.

I just posted a devlog explaining the status of Fantasy Dating. Unfortunately, it won't be getting an update/rework any time soon.

To answer your question, I went with the early access model. The highest tiers on my Patreon and SubscribeStar pages can play 4 weeks before the public version. And the same applies to the paid itch.io version.

Great to hear you had fun playing. FYI, Fantasy Dating is on hold indefinitely.

I have another project called Ménage à Moi which has a demo available now, and an update is planned to release by the end of November.

At this time, I don't know how many chapters it would take to tell the story.

Thanks!

Wow, thanks! I'm delighted you enjoyed playing so much.

This project is on hold but I have another that I just released a demo for called Ménage à Moi. If you want to support my projects then please check out my Patreon and SubscribeStar pages. I also have a Discord server if you want to drop in and chat.

Yes, as listed in the More Information section, this visual novel is solely in English. I don't speak French, I just borrowed a phrase from it.

Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed.

Yes, there are several renders you can see of Ménage à Moi in this public post.

I'm glad you liked it so much! Fantasy Dating and Motherhood are on hold as I work on smaller projects because they were too large for me to produce at the moment. I'm currently working on another futanari visual novel and comic called Ménage à Moi and you can check this link to see my plans for Q1 of 2022.

The current version of Fantasy Dating was created on an older build of Ren'Py (7.4.8). Try holding shift the moment after launching the .exe. This should allow you to enable/disable certain options (Ex. gamepads can cause issues). Also, you might want to try running it using Windows' compatibility mode.

Did you mean are there love interests that would appeal to a gay audience? I would say yes with the caveat that there is only the one perspective of playing as the futanari MC. So still two penises but only one person is male.

I could still recommend a great gay visual novel though. Check out Straight!?, it is awesome.

This user contacted me on Discord and we discovered a simple solution. The Android version of Fantasy Dating Day 3 may start up as a black screen. Keep clicking/tapping through until you reach the game proper.

Please see this thread for instructions.

For number 2 the latest sex scene allows for MC to apply light CBT to her partner. I realize it was tied to foot fetish stuff and players may like one but not the other might have missed it. I will try to avoid introducing multiple fetishes under a single choice like that in the future. For most fetishes they are split into done to MC or MC doing to others and even then you still will be prompted if want to do so with a certain character.

To answer 1 and 3, I'm straying to the lighter side of CBT. Anything done will never break the skin or have the potential to either. Nor is the sole objective the pain itself. So stuff like squeezing and stepping that is slow, sensual, and controllable, but nothing equivalent to a strike. Anything sharp will have to be relatively tame like teeth. Other objects like knives, scissors, and spikes or threatening the partner with an object is a no.

I hope that fully answers your questions. Thanks for playing!

Thanks!

I'm not to sure what you mean. The latest version is Day 3 and has an entire scene at the bar before heading back to the apartment. The downloads currently listed contain the entire game, everything should be in there from Days 1 to 3.

Please see the F95zone release thread for instructions.

Edit: Added new Android link, thanks to Gamecax.

I reached out but there is no time frame when the Android version of 0.25 will be back up. Version 0.3 releases on the 31st, TBH I recommend you wait until that version is out. In the future, I am going to try to work on getting an Android version to release the same day of the main release and host it directly here on itch.io. I would port it myself but I don't have a Android device to test it on.

Looks like the link for the Android version got nuked. I didn't do the port myself (hence why it's labeled unofficial), but I will ask the user who did it for another link.
