Got an email from Itch noting there was an update, so I came back and basically replayed the whole thing. 

It's hard to describe how much I love the thirstchasm-tailbound series in simple words. In my opinion they are one of the best ones among tons of other NSFW furry games simply because Isomizu brought them far beyond the NSFW content. They are games, not porn. I have some game design experience so I know how much effort was being put behind the scenes. All the art sprites, enemy and level designs, AI logic, music, and storytelling are just way too good, not to mention these were all done by one person. Truly remarkable. Yes this is a lewd game but this is nothing like a game for lewdness which you just open the game go to gallery and do your job. The games are actually really fun to play, I spend time figuring out the best stats to purchase at shops, learn to work out the puzzles through failures, feel the adrenaline rush during boss fights and the thrill of an alpha after successful conquers. Jonas is one of the best characters from games of the same genre as he is not only physically attractive but also has a great personality and impressive design.

I just want to write a couple paragraphs about how much I appreciate the creation of these series and the time and effort Isomizu has put into these games. These games are ambitious and the ambition definitely pays off. They are NSFW games but they are more than NSFWness; NSFW content is like spices to a dish but you can never make a good course if you don't have amazing ingredients and cooking skills, and this is exactly what make these games stand out. It still saddens me when I read about Isomizu's decision to stop developing the series, but they will always hold a special meaning to the community.

Fixed a bug where sometimes the ending cutscene wouldn't trigger after fucking Ataraxios

Thanks for the kind words - I've been developing games ever since I was a little kid. Thirstchasm and Tailbound are the result of literally a decades worth of experience, and I'm really glad people can see the amount of effort put toward them. I remember specifically making Thirstchasm to spite what furry porn games were, which, like you said, are more or less just galleries for players to jerk off to and nothing more. I knew I could do better, and so I did.

To be real, making these sorts of projects is the most fun I've ever had creating anything, and it was short sighted of me to try quitting game development and NSFW in general. For the longest time, I thought I wanted to do comics and the like - but those have always been tedious for me to work on and feels like a waste of my very particular skillset that I could be using for better things.

I'm working on another, hopefully higher quality NSFW game project. Tailbound is a weird mixture of being a rush job and also having a lot of effort behind it, specifically the story and sex animations were rushed beyond belief, because I didn't care to put effort into those things. I'm working to put more effort into that side of things for this new project, but it's too early to share any specific details about it...

Thanks for the reply!! You are already doing a fantastic job. Our community is blessed to have you as a gifted content creator. I am so happy to hear that you are continuing game design and we will always be here to support!
