...Not saying too much but I used to be a moderator way back when for something and holy..this brought back many memories. Kinda crazy this is prob what my users/members witnessed daily. Lowkey this was very fun, sure a bit shocking initially but it's pretty fun. I like the sound effects, the sound design, the roleplay part was so cringy but so realistic that it also made me remember some vaulted memories, LOL.
ANYWAYS...I liked all the options so far. I can't wait for the full release. Seriously. (Also technically first full demo i played this year.)
I'm sure there's plenty of people willing to create art for free. ESPECIALLY for an up and coming game that has already gotten lots of traction, as it could upstart their own careers and significantly help them in growing their portfolio + becoming more recognizable.
Try advertising your game on varies social medias like Twitter, Tumblr, and various Discord servers. While AI in general is horrible - *especially* generative art/words - it also significantly limits your audience when advertising your game and even trying to get hired to code for others.
Many, including myself, refuse to support and play anything with even a hint of AI. I really think this game has AMAZING potential and could go very far, but you need to get rid of the AI art immediately.
TL;DR: Creating art for a game provides many opportunities for up and coming artists. Advertise it online and see if anyone would be willing to make art for free. You severely limit your audience by using AI art, as well as your credibility/likeness for future games whether you make them yourself or get hired. Boo generative AI bad and stinky.
I appreciate your feedback. I’m okay with the exposure I already got, so I don’t need to exploit anyone.
Regarding free art: I don’t believe in asking artists to work for free. The game currently has around 100 pictures, and asking someone to invest that much time and skill into a free project, with no payment and no revenue share, doesn’t sit right with me. I think you will agree, since you care about ethics.
If an artist reached out because they were genuinely passionate about the project and wanted to contribute on their own terms, I’d be open to that conversation. But I’m not going to put out a call for free labor.
For now, my focus is on finishing the game itself. If the art becomes a barrier for some players, I understand. But I’m making this because I want to. No one is obligated to play a free indie game.
P.S.: I also need to be real about what this novel is. It’s an extremely niche NSFL project with heavy themes. This isn’t “portfolio builder” material. No one’s getting hired at a studio because they drew incel guro art for a free game. Telling young artists this is a career opportunity feels disingenuous.
Hi again, I was thinking about your comment and I wanted to let you know I took your feedback seriously. I’ve set up a Ko-Fi goal to crowdfund replacing all the AI art with real art. If enough people feel as strongly as you do, this makes it possible. Appreciate you pushing me on this.
Of course!!! You have no idea how genuinely happy I was when I saw this response lol. I don't see it linked on your carrd, could you let me know what sites you're advertising it on?
While I do agree on most of what you said, I don't think AI "in general" is bad, I think AI in the domain of arts and writing is bad in kind of a "whatever the scope" manner while AI in other domains CAN be perfectly fine. As someone working a bit in software development, AI is a great tool, it makes for a good documentation browser since howver you want to put it, an AI is good at treating large agregations of data, it is also quite a good auto-completion tool and is a great translation tool since it takes context in consideration compared to a simple dictionary/translation tool.
Sorry, not that much related to your comment but I feel kinda strongly about AI, its not bas if you know how to use it properly. If your point about AI being horrible was more about the ethics of using human-created content to teach an AI, well, fair, I do agree that's a huge issue that should be adressed in law but that's sadly probably not going to happen...
You need two edge points (eg., pick a knife/gun avatar or crack a joke in response to Raven asking about body count or laugh at Cainsaw - edgy options give you +1 point). Then watch Cainsaw’s movie. Click “Criticize” (+1 edge point), then “Roast”.
You need to be a male and acquire Raven’s naughty picture (via HateMale99). In the vip channel, once the official rankings start, call out Raven’s lie. Then he DMs you, and you click “Demand mod privileges”.
As a female, flirt with Raven in DMs. To get him to DM you, you need to call him out (doesn’t matter if you have the evidence or not).
As a male, call Raven gay in DMs (you need two edge points) after you guys already exchanged 🍆 pics.
You need like two edge points, then when Tyler asks which selfie was better, you reply Nick. Pick the option to double down and bully Tyler and there you go.
I hear you, and I wish I could afford one too! For now, this is the only way I could make the game a reality. I’m glad you’re still giving it a chance.
I appreciate your interest! The best way to help is coding if you know how to work in Renpy. Otherwise… Voice acting or translation would be good contributions.

Ko-Fi is linked on my carrd, tho. It’s also linked here directly (devlog, links).
Just saw! I defo suggest advertising on various other sites as well💚 ESPECIALLY Tumblr and Discord

Totally true. Thank you for adding context. The art replacement fund for this VN is open if anyone wants to make it happen.
I definitely would fund if I wassn't broke ^^.
It's very cool to see that even if the campaign doesn't fully succeed, we'll at least get *some* hand-drawn content.
I would definitely pay for real art for my novel if I wasn’t broke, so… 🤷 But thank you anyway.
Let me rephrase, *generativee* AI is bad. AI can definitely be really helpful in certain situations, but not these ones.
Approximately how long do you think the complete version will take?
I can’t say yet, but I’m hoping to finish before September.
I LOOOVEE this game, im so excited for the full version!!!!!
I cannot wait for more to come out :3
i LOVELOVELOVE this demo so much, can't wait for more to come out :3c
how do i unlock the rest of the roles? i have10 fkr now
Uh it depends on which roles you already have.
id post a pic but it wont let me sigh. anyways -normie, piss, newfag, kitten,alpha, predator, dickchopper, harlot, smallpp, catboy
thank uu
also do u have a dc server ?
I do. It’s mentioned in the game description towards the end
How did you unlocked the "dickchopper" one? I'm missing that one😔
You need like two edge points, then when Tyler asks which selfie was better, you reply Nick. Pick the option to double down and bully Tyler and there you go.
Thanksss :3
this is gold
i hate this. 10/10 best game will me supporting it in every way (exept financialy)
Desperatly need the full game
I have a good portion of it done already, so hopefully soon

I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get the nick nya jpg
Agree (to joining the stream) -> Support him -> Ask Nick to wear cat ears -> Compliment him

I figured out how to find the forbidden usernames and I'm cackling lololol
🤫
what are forbidden usernames??
need me a full game. If the full game costs money. IDK when I'll buy it, but I will... eventually...
Most likely it will be fully free because of the payment processors’ BS
I love these losers 😔

I’m working on it whenever I’m free
Thank you😭🙏

🫶

I hear you, and I wish I could afford one too! For now, this is the only way I could make the game a reality. I’m glad you’re still giving it a chance.
This game is so good! I can't wait for the completed version :D
I can't tell you the number of different emotions i felt playing just the demo, but most of the time I was hitting the
Over half the time just fighting the laughter 💔
Question, will this have nsfw in the completed version or nah?
Yes. The demo also has NSFW.
Oh sorry I didnt play it yet 🥹✌️
No worries. In the full version the NSFW will be more intense though, keep it in mind xd
Raven is the cutest though
I'll be waiting full version, I love this so much <3
pls is there anyway to get involved and help you create this, im inspired
I appreciate your interest! The best way to help is coding if you know how to work in Renpy. Otherwise… Voice acting or translation would be good contributions.
