I am encountering an annoying bug when I click on "Phone" when it rings the morning after the day I found out Jasmine was adopted by Jenny Jones and she is lover with Lynda, I get stuck into an endless loop of a short piece of a song while my character stars at his phone and I cannot move the scene forward, why is that? Why do I get stuck staring at my phone forever without doing anything?
And why does Arthur Knight's wife who has been named Helen from the start get suddenly and unexplainably named Pippa out of nowhere?
I'm pretty sure it is finished as the end is the same as Depraved Awakening which is that you have to choose ONE woman with who you will spend your life and it would be complicated to add one more chapter since each woman's ending goes into a completely different direction.
I ended with Chandra & Aby by the way because they are the most open-minded and are into involving other girls into our sexual activities even if the other women are not as open-minded and some of them even left the city in the end.
The first time I played Long Story Short, I focused more on Ann than on Vanessa even though I did cheat on Ann with Vanessa and at first, I disliked Vanessa because she was too easy, she was not a challenge to get into her pants which removes the fun of it, until she and I grew closer and then she became really interesting because then I learned that there is more to her than just sleeping around with everyone to the point that I grew to prefer fun free-minded Vanessa over boring conformist Ann.
Usually I dislike cheating because it is betrayal of trust, I prefer being honestly open with my relationships.
However Vanessa made me enjoy cheating on my girlfriend and my best friend with his girlfriend because it made us grow closer as we were accomplices in the crime and the cheating couple that we have grown to be is really fun, we even team up to have our way with other couples and make them cheat on each other with us, she seduces the man while I seduce the woman and we have our way with both of them separately while they are oblivious that the other cheated on them as well at the same time, thatβs a riot! π€£
I grew to genuinely love Vanessa because of how much fun our relationship is so when this game was last updated half a year ago, I restarted it and I focused on Vanessa from the start this time.
And holy curse! I had missed out so much more fun with her when I focused on Ann the first time!
This game is really the most fun when you choose Vanessa over Ann from the start because Vanessa is so much more fun than Ann and the closer you grow together, the more she involves you into her wild fun and thatβs always a riot to the point that I wish she was real! π
I genuinely canβt wait for next update to discover what other wild fun Vanessa will make me experience… π
I have also grown quite fond of Alex and Emily and have been eagerly waiting for more with each of them as well... πΌ
How did you manage to include so many plugins without breaking your game with plugins' conflicts?!? π²
Thank you for the link to Lecode Tactical Battle System, I watched the video which looked really promising but I couldn't find a clear link to download it, there were only links to download demo projects but no link to download the plugin alone, do you think you can provide one yourself? π€
Most RPG Maker MV's plugins have been abandoned since RPG Maker MV was replaced with RPG Maker MZ anyway. π
I am curious, can you combine tactical battles and standard battles into the same game? For example, if I wanted my ordinary battles to be tactical to make them more interesting but I wanted my bosses battles to be standard battles to make them faster and more intense, could I? π€
To be honest, I am not that much into tactical RPGs, I have yet to finish one without giving up out of boredom because battles are so slow and... wait... come to think of it, I did finish your game which is a tactical RPG, that makes it the first tactical RPG that I ever finished! π²
However it is a short game so this is not that much of an achievement actually... π
Anyway, I am merely curious about this plugin and I might experiment with it but since I never was into tactical RPGs to begin with, I didn't project to make one. π
I am not that much into turn-based games either actually, I even couldn't stand them at first and it took years for me to gradually get into turn-based RPGs especially thanks to Chrono Trigger whose Active Time Battle was such a good compromise between real time and turn-based that it significantly helped me get into turn-based RPGs but this game was unique and I still don't have that much fun with their slow turn-based battles which quickly bore me, I have always been and still am definitely more into real time battles which makes me even more curious about your knowledge of RPG Maker...
Do you know how to make a real time RPG like the Story of Mana series or even better like Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma (even if their stories are nonsensical, at least their gameplay is fun) or even in a different style such as the Tales of Bandai-Namco series, do you know how to make any of these games into RPG Maker? Because THAT would interest me THE MOST since this is my favorite kind of RPGs to begin with! π (even if I am still curious about my other questions π)
Well, since you acknowledge that your game is not the best as it could be, are you still improving it? π
Are you interested into a player's feedback? π
Ah, I actually already knew MV3D however when I found it, it was still a prototype barely operational where the world looked so cubic that it looked more like Minecraft than RPG Maker MV and even now it is still in development, which explains all the trouble that I experienced with the 3D mode of your game but since it looked far more advanced than my memory of MV3D then I thought you made it yourself or it was another plugin. π
Did you make use of the Moff Movement plugin from the same plugins maker and designed to be combined with MV3D as well? π
I didn't find "LeTBS", is it here on Itch? π€
Actually, could you please share links to the plugins that you used? π
I'm a man and I am not a voyeur so I don't like that much watching and I fap to texts because my imagination creates the pictures for me, do you have such a poor imagination that you need that much to watch pictures because you are unable to picture anything yourself? π
Moreover, creators who rely too much on visuals alone and underestimate the importance of narration and detailed descriptions end up failing to turn me on because they do not tease my imagination. π
Which is why I actually agree with you that this game here offers nothing to turn on its players because it offers nor immersive visuals nor detailed descriptions of its sex scenes, everything is too minimalist to make any real effect. π
All of your issues with this game are because you are obviously not familiar with RPG Maker games because:
1) (Why do you even put both a dot and a bracket?!) Every RPG Maker MV game is switchable from windowed to full screen and vice versa with F4 as the creator already answered.
2) If the game's volume starts at "full blast" then your system volume was high to begin with, which is not the fault of the game and what has porn anything to do with anything in this matter?
3) Every RPG Maker MV game fast forwards dialogues and cutscenes by holding Enter and automatically stops at a choice so if you make a choice inadvertently while skipping dialogues is because you spam Enter instead of merely holding it down until fast forward stops at a choice to make.
As for your statement about "most games use Ctrl to skip dialogues", this is actually only Ren'Py games which do.
5) This was actually a good suggestion and I think the creator accepted it because I didn't have to answer 100 questions when I played this game, I only had to pick my lore background exactly as you suggested. π
City of Broken Dreamers has finally been completed and just like Phillyβs previous game Depraved Awakening, the conclusion was not worthy of the gripping story and all the waiting, it felt rushed again and they allowed us to grow intimate with every woman in the story only to take away all but one in the end because they start their games as polyamourous only to force monogamy in the end, what is even the point? π
Anyway, this was the second time that Philly disappointed me in the end so I will avoid their games from now on because I dislike getting into something only to be disappointed in the end, no thanks and farewell Philly. πββοΈ
In my opinion, To Be A King is an interesting adult visual novel about becoming the king of a roman empire, managing our empire, maneuvering through political intrigues and power games, interacting with other nations, making alliances and/or wars, all while developing relationships and building our harem while being careful to not cause conflicts between our women, it is a very deep and rich adult visual novel... which hasn't been updated for a long ass time, especially here on Itch, which frustrates me because it really grew on me. π
And which has been infuriating me to no end because it has been SO DAMN OBVIOUS that Felix is a traitor conspiring with Isabella and yet, you haven't allowed us any opportunity to confront him, you have been imposing us to pretend that we are oblivious to everything going on around us or more accurately, you have been imposing us to play a dumbass character who I lost count of how many times I already cursed because he never ever notices anything wrong going around him and has been blissfully ignorant to all the conspiracies plotting against him, if he was not our character, I would WISH for such an idiot to be back-stabbed and I would ENJOY this well-deserved fate, but alas, he is our character, so I have had to bite my hand and contain my frustration to witness his stupidity while I am supposed to be him.
Moreover, every young woman is all over him and claims that he is βhandsomeβ but every time I see his face, I want to puke because of how OLD AND UGLY he looks, which really has been posing me a hard challenge to immerse myself into this story and enjoy being this lame character both because of his appalling looks and his utter stupidity, I hate being him and I have been cursing you for imposing such a repulsive player character even if I want to continue playing this story because even though the protagonist is unlikeable, at least the story is deeply intriguing and gripping, which has made it so frustrating that it progresses so excruciatingly slowly...
So why has this not been updated here on Itch while we are at chapter 11 elsewhere?
And why has it not been continued for a year after chapter 11?
Is this actually abandoned? π€
I didn't know that Itch reviewed every payment, I thought all was automatic and Itch intervened only if asked to. But how does Itch review payments? What does that actually mean? And how would reviewing your payments be any different from reviewing other creators' payments if Itch systematically reviews every payment, what have yours so special? π€
Well, this is disappointing revelations, I guess no one escapes entropy, everything unavoidably deteriorates with time... π Or this is the price of success? Itch has grown so popular that they have grown overwhelmed with users to take care of and don't have any time to actually deal with anyone anymore? π€
Wait, now that I am reading the forum topic that you linked, I noticed some more intriguing details...
First, "the topic was locked by No Time To Play for being controversial" so I went to their page and they are a mere creator just like you with nothing at all on their page which indicates any authority on Itch forums, there is no mention of them being an administrator nor a moderator, so why did they lock a forum topic without any authority and why is their community posts history full of them bossing around everyone without any authority badge? π€¨
Moreover, they are basically nihilist since they basically state on their creator's page that:
I make games because the alternative is to lie down and never get up again.
I make art because art is good. One of the few good things we have in life.
I write about it all so that others get a better shot at success than I did.
So we basically have a depressive failed creator who didn't get a shot at success, who makes games in order to not lie down and never get up again because art is one of the few things they appreciates in life and who states into their very name that they don't even have time to play as in no time to have fun and enjoy themselves, so how are they any qualified to manage other creators when they already failed at managing themselves to the point of growing nihilist, huh? Actually, this is a good question that I might ask themselves personally...
Now the interesting answer to this forum topic is the pinned answer from leafo who is an actual administrator and therefore actually holds a position of authority to speak in the name of Itch and who provided the complete version of the message that Itch sent to specific creators and it contains a very important sentence that you did not include into your quote of the message since you quoted this part:
This decision was made after considering various factors related to your account, including nature of content, risk, disputes, and the resources required by our team to review payments associated with your account.
While omitting to include into your quote the end of this paragraph which is:
To provide uninterrupted service to as many users as possible, we can no longer facilitate payments for your account through our Payouts system.
Which is actually the most important part of this announcement because it confirms my previous hypothesis that Itch has grown so popular that they have grown overwhelmed with too many creators to manage their payments and that they are lacking time to manage everyone's payments so they are now selecting which accounts take the most of their time to manage their payments and yours somehow take more of their time to manage your payments than other creators' accounts which is the real question here: Why does your creator' s account's payments take more time to manage than other creators' accounts? Any idea? π€
Now since the complete message that Itch sent you includes links to PayPal, Stripe and Payoneer's terms of services, I followed these links and checked their terms about porn and while you were correct that Stripe prohibits pornography, PayPal's terms of service don't mention any prohibition of pornography and now that I think about it, I should have already known this because while I always pay with card to buy my porn games, I still see PayPal as another option for them which unmistakably shows that PayPal doesn't mind being used for pornographic transactions otherwise it wouldn't be a payment option for porn games and this is confirmed by their terms of service which do not mention any pornographic prohibition, the word "porn" doesn't even appear anywhere into their terms of service at all. π
As for Payoneer that you did not even mention, yeah, their terms of service do prohibit pornography which makes PayPal the only possible option to manage your payments. π
And as I stated, I still can pay with my card to buy many porn games from Itch without involving PayPal which confirms that Itch didn't prohibit pornography either, the actual issue is as they stated:
This decision was made after considering various factors related to your account, including nature of content, risk, disputes, and the resources required by our team to review payments associated with your account. To provide uninterrupted service to as many users as possible, we can no longer facilitate payments for your account through our Payouts system.
Which means that reviewing and facilitating payments associated with your account require resources which interrupt services to other users because yours take more time and resources than others which is why what you actually need to figure out is why does your account take more time and resources for Itch to manage that they decided to not manage it themselves anymore and suggested you to use a third-party service such as PayPal to manage your payments instead? π€
This is confirmed further into Itch's apology that you also omitted to quote into the message they sent you:
Weβre sorry weβre unable to provide our full service to everyone, but sometimes we need to balance the needs of our community at large over individual sellers to ensure we can continue to operate smoothly indefinitely.
This says it all, allow me to rephrase this: "Our community has now grown so large with so many users that we have grown unable to provide our full services to everyone and we have to abandon users who take the most time and resources in order to balance the needs of our whole community." and that's pretty much what this means. π
Conclusion and my suggestions to you, Perverteer:
- Switch your payments to PayPal as their terms of service don't mention any pornographic restriction.
- Ask Itch why is it that your account takes specifically more time and resources to manage than other accounts because THIS is the actual issue and THE question that you never asked even though THIS is THE question that you should have always asked to get an actual answer so do it now. π
As for me, now I'm going to ask No Time To Play why such a depressive failed creator who has grown nihilist to the point that they even state into their very name that they have no time to play, no time to have fun, no time to enjoy themselves, ever thought themselves as suited to manage other creators when they already failed to manage themselves to begin with because I am curious about their justifications for bossing everyone around without any badge of official authority and without any love for anything at all which makes them closed-minded and uptight while you take care of your own account as I suggested, @+! π
By the way, I would also appreciate that you consider my feedback and suggestion about musics in TFUV, bye! π
Oh so it is your account specifically and you don't know why?
Hmm... "risk, disputes"... Could it be because you first included Star Wars' Twileks into your game and even if you did modify it to avoid copyright infringements, your Twill specie is still dangerously close to Star Wars' Twilek specie's intellectual property and Itch anticipates the "risks" of potential "disputes" with Disney's legions of copyright lawyers? π€
But what about "reviewing payments associated with your account"? Why would Itch need to review your payments? This is weird because Itch has always granted autonomy to creators and intervene only when requested to so who requested Itch to review your payments? π€
You really have to press Itch for answers because you need to know what is the issue with your account so how about you humbly ask Itch what is the issue with your account so you can think of solutions to solve it and restore your account's right to sell your creations, which would at the very least provide you an actual understanding of the issue, yeah? π
Hello Perverteer,
Your statement that Itch has banned the sale of your game has been bothering me ever since you made it but I couldn't quite put my finger on why was that... π€
Until I finally noticed that many other creators of porn games still sell their games on Itch and it is only now that I notice the contradiction with your statement of Itch suddenly becoming puritan and banning porn games.
So I read the announcement that you quoted again and then I noticed a detail which eluded me at first.
Itch never banned porn, it is actually some third-party payments providers who suddenly became puritan and denied their services to porn content and Itch merely informed this change of policy from these third-party payments providers while still remaining the haven of creative freedom that it has always been and I still can pay with my card to buy porn games from Itch as if nothing has ever changed which is why your statement has been subconsciously bothering me until I understand this contradiction.
Which makes me curious how do you explain it? π€
While I agree about your statement that Naitoh's own additions expand the lore faithfully, the way Naitoh added them outside of the story and continued the story in a way which ignores them as if they didn't actually happen because they are merely "fan-service" bonus outside of the story has been frustrating me because I don't know how to actually place them into the story since the story ignores them...
Naitoh could easily solve this problem is they actually left a few days of free time between chapters instead of starting each chapter exactly when previous chapter stopped in a way to tell us that everything we did between chapters was meaningless because the story continues exactly when it left off ignoring everything we did between chapters and I don't understand why Naitoh doesn't leave a few days of free time between chapters to continue the story a few days after last chapter in a way to actually include inter-chapters' content into it.
Is your relationship with your girlfriend an open relationship?
With who would be the BL option? Who does she imagine Kazuma to be into?
I agree with your last statement because Adventurer Trainer is my favorite Ren'Py game so far since it is an actual video-game which balances adventures and actual RPG's gameplay with actual characters development and relationships building instead of being merely a porn visual novel which exists only for meaninglessly fapping as I already stated into another comment on this page and I am really hoping it continues to be that good until completion however I disapprove of Megumin and Lolisa's treatment in the last update which is why I shared my feedbacks and requested PastryIRL to improve them and I'm hoping he's listening. π
