Is there a release date? If not, when do you think it will release on steam? because I don’t know if I wanna risk buying it on itch.io but I don’t wanna wait…
We will release on steam once we basically have the first biome done completely. So likely sometime this year. It all depends on how it feels as we build it.
You should be fine on a laptop 2050. Just don't throw it on high if you're having performance problems. Also be mindful of background applications like chrome or anti virus using resources.
I could be wrong, mb that's the way it's designed, but it seems like a bug to me. Because when I take a picture of any creature's genitalia, I get S+ (you have to get pretty close).
Scoring overhaul is being worked on right now. The next patch is stealth update but following that will be the scoring stuff. As right now the closer you are the greater the score. It just does not work.
Hey, can you add an option to pay with PayPal? It's kind of a pain to pay with a card, mine keeps declining despite having more than enough money. I don't have the same problem if I pay using PayPal.
I set up my paypal on my laptop as a recognized device and it works for anything I tried to use it for so far. It took me around 10 minutes in total to get all the paypal stuff to like my laptop.
Gameplay and art look absolutely amazing, even on my potato of a PC. i just have one question, is their eventually going to be an option for character customization? (Anthro/non-anthro, genitalia.ect). either way Im in love the game so far, I just wanted to ask :)
Art looks cute, gameplay looks fine. Interesting idea I must say. But I can't stand games where dev either don't know or is lazy to implement proper anatomy and all the furries have same human-like genitals. I pass on that, but still wish you good luck to finish it!
More dongs are coming. Different penis means different or unique animations. So we just have to prioritize what's important to get the base of the game working.
I run Linux - PopOS! Linux to be specific, which is a fork of Ubuntu. 64-bit. 32GB RAM, 24 cores, I9 CPU. Nvidia 3060 mobile graphics.
The game just doesn't work for me. Black screen. I've tried the Linux build, I've tried installing the installer via Lutris, I've even tried non-steam game in Steam.
I'd love to work with the dev to get this solved, if possible. I'd rather not request a refund.
Yeah we are aware of this one, we ran out of time to find the error though before Christmas. For now please use wine for playing the game. We will be establishing a test environment on VM early next year to solve this.
I tried wine through Lutris - both via the installer and manual build. Also true windowed mode set to low resolution. Tried running through terminal to capture any errors. I'm a DevOps architect, if you want free help fixing this.
Considering buying, however would prefer to purchase through Steam. If I buy now through Itch, will my purchase convey to Steam as well once it's released on Steam? I do see the game there on Steam now, but only as a wishlist option, no option to purchase, pre-purchase or early access.
Hey there, your best option is to wait for the steam release as we won't be giving out keys for existing purchases. You wouldn't ask for an itch key on a steam purchase right?
I think if they see the game on Steam they could buy it there without a key, it's probably just us germany here and another country I keep forgetting. Might have been China I don't know.
Actually it's pretty normal to expect games that I buy elsewhere which then become available on Steam, to be able to link the existing purchase there and own it on Steam as well. Some games are not done this way however, which is why I asked. That's fine though, I don't mind waiting to see it on Steam.
We cannot use PayPal as they banned us for making adult games. You can purchase on GOG though. Also we will be working with a German key reseller once we are on steam.
I just made an account, but even though I set it up with my VPN set to the US, the store page is not available for me.
I have no idea why certain adult games are simply banned on sites like that, but I have no way to access games like yours in a legal way, other than this site at the moment.
EDIT!!!
I have no idea how I did it, but I tried again, simply by googling the game title. One of the results gave me the option to put the game into the cart, and it didn't remove it on login.
Hope this helps others that are affected by similar laws!
We don't have a bit capacity for Linux testing. So a lot of the distros we cannot help too much with. Can you give more details on what your hardware and os is?
Okay so with the steam deck we can do some testing there but our support for the game on steam deck will come via their offical system support via steamworks.
We will make it compatible there but this will happen sometime early next year.
Also, Just wondering if you have thought about adding Lovesense support to the game? Because there will be a lot of intimacy in the game it would make it a cool addition.
Wasn't sure where else to report this but I just wanted to point out your Linux build seems to be broken. I'm using Pop_OS! and have got specs higher than the recommended but when I start the game there is a big black square taking up most of the screen in the middle of the title screen and can only see the image on the sides of the black square.
so far, I've enjoyed taking pictures of the girls and watching them do their activities while I try and take a quick pic of them. however, there is a lot more to be desired from the game. such as joining the girls in the fun. i get that the game is still under development and i honestly can't wait to see where it goes. super excited for future updates and patches.
One step at a time. Before moving on to the most desired features, we have to ensure the game is operating as we intend hence why we are making the spawning director and camera systems our current focus.
Sex, the things around sex, the monster ai for sex, environmental traps related to sex, and all those systems can only come (hehe cum) once we know the rest is operating at the level we need it to.
Having a new roadmap and an overview of minimum and recommended system requirements is just *chef's kiss* Looking forward to the next version(s) of the game :-)
Hey thanks! We will keep them updated if we get eek out more optimisations or when we add new patches and can understand the next couple of patches ahead of time.
It all depends on what you're expecting to get from a game in development. We are focused on making the photography gameplay detailed right now. If you're here for sex content there is very little of that currently in the game, mostly temp stuff. Future patches will change this, but if you cannot articulate what you'd like to see it's hard to build a game you'd be happy to play.
i mean honestly i couldn't agree more with that granted i bought this way back when it was the barest of bones and haven't checked it out yet but to just go ahead and say "waste of money game sucks" blah blah etc etc.. is really poor judgement on a game thats in early development besides no one asked you to buy the game you did so of your own choice let other people have there own experience's themselves and if your gonna be that upset over some pocket change that don't meet your standards go complain on reddit sure someone there will give the time of day
hey, i can't pay with card for the game it's somehow not working... is it possible that paypal will be a way to pay for the game? cause i'd love to play that game
Hello for the card transaction just verify it with your bank that it is okay. Our company is based out of Poland so some American banks have issue with that for whatever reason.
As for PayPal that is a no go. We are banned on Paypal for making adult games, the same can be said for why itch does not let us use their payment services. So we can only use credit cards.
It all depends if PayPal notices you're making porn or not. We got spotted due to some... tasteful comments left by customers. It does not always happen, just that it happened to us.
That is a hard question to answer, a more modern integrated graphics solution would handle it better. The game does need some sort of vram for photo storage.
A lot of things have changed since the initial upload of this game here. What started with simple models, a small map, and some monster girls running around turned into... well, at first a more defined map, some more models, as well as some interactable, joinable sex scenes and the possibility to take pictures. ... and from there nothing really changed for a long time. Mhh, that's not true. The whole system of taking pictures got worse, with images/sex scenes being an absolutely blurry mess and monster girls not getting recognized in the pictures. After that, the ability to join the sex scenes vanished. Updates were made, big speeches about how they want to change their whole system and goals and stuff, but improvements... not noteworthy, really. This was going on for quite a while until the newest update from just a day ago! Because now... we have a bigger map. Oh, and the pictures are not blurry anymore. Anything else worth mentioning? Nah, not really. Sex scenes still can't be joined. Animations are still rather basic. Models look a little better, though (probably the shaders, yay!). And while monster girls and activities get finally recognized again in the pictures... that's janky as hell. It's not uncommon to stand directly next to a monster girl, getting a nice, clear front shot with the little yellow rectangle indicating that the girl in the picture got recognized... nope, nothing, bad picture, nothing gets recognized at all. Not that it would matter because the game still has nothing in it that makes it worth playing. And I understand that when you decide in the middle of a project to basically change everything about the system and redo it all, that takes time... but looking at the main game page here I see a lot of window dressing.
Let's take a look:
- Explore five fully realized environments, teeming with Monster Girls. (if those are fully realized, that is very sad and empty-looking with not many girls wandering around and a barebone variety of what, five, six, maybe seven different species?) - A full complement of voice acting by industry professionals. (aside from some noises the girls make, there is nothing; not even the introduction when "Professor Frida" is talking to the player character has any voice lines) - Explore many unique locations and capture/catalog the wildlife on display. (unique and rather empty, yes; and cataloging the wildlife might be a tad difficult with the currently inadequate recognition system of the camera) - Bond with the Monster Girls in their unique environments, and experience new sensations! (the sensation of being bored? that's not new) - Unlock special photography sessions with all the Monster Girls, and capture perfect pinups! (uh, when is that supposed to happen? Haven't seen anything that would even imply this is part of the game)
If these are your future goals, give the people visiting this site an adequate idea of what's actually really in the game and declare those things as goals. If I would buy this game here for its original price of $ 20 and see the sorry state it's in, I'd be pretty p***ed. (EDIT: I didn't realize the on-sale status of this game is a permanent thing so far)
I'm not saying you are not working on it. And I'm not saying that I can't see or don't believe that the finished game will be potentially awesome as hell. But right now? This simply feels like bad planning or, rather, bad handling of a project, as well as bad communication with the people who bought it or would potentially buy it. At this point in time, $20 is a rip-off, and people who only see what's advertised here on the front page walk into it blindly.
We have never sold the game for 20 dollars, it's always on sale as it is still in early development. That is what's great about the game as it stands, we want to make sure we can capture everything we want. If that means pulling something because it is not fitting, even after working on it for months, we will. We will refine and update it until it is perfect.
Everything you've talked about, how we have changed things remade things, or swapped out entire systems and flows. Yes. That is what we are doing. We will do it until we get the perfect ideal game we want to make.
If someone says it is not worth purchasing, I would tend to agree with them. We are making this game completely transparently. Customers should vote with their wallets, and until you believe it is worth the cost, you should never purchase.
Ok, I didn't keep track of the constant on-sale status of the game. That's a mistake on my part. But the transparency... I don't know about that, chief. I doubt new people dig through the past development logs to figure out what the current status of the game is. So, the most prevalent source of information is the game's main page. And that gives off the vibe of a more complete game with intricate systems and a lot more variety than there actually is at this point in time. I know it's probably dumb of me - who has bought this game over a year ago and is looking forward to it's completion in the future - to make such a fuss about it, but trying to look at it from the perspective of someone who just stumbles across it, it feels... insincere (I know it's not meant to be). And yes, it's just a lack of adequate adaption of the main page. And yes, new people could try to dig deeper into the actual, current state of the game. But not everyone does this, especially when they believe that the main page is giving them a summary of the current state of the game.
I feel that this is 100% valid criticism in the games current state.
Cutscenes that don't seem to be implemented in the game used into marketing material, promises of things you can experience, but not currently implemented in the game. Even if you are straightforward in backchannels, you shouldn't be representing it as the state of the game on the page where customers are actually purchasing it. If you are being transparent, add the details described to the games description ^ up there.
I also think that this game can be quality and successful, but I think in the current state it's in, you are presenting a bait and switch.
Yeah this is all fair. I'll update the main page with a roadmap to people can see what's coming and what's already built. That should clear up any confusion.
Awesome to hear it. I appreciate you being understanding and polite about this too. I know how easy it can be to feel like people are attacking you with criticism when it's anonymous users. Keep up the good work.
Maybe I'm the odd one, but I always check the past logs and comments before I pay for something in places like this, and I figured others did too? Is it really that rare?
I guess I just know that these things are works in progress, so while I may grab a free game on a whim without looking into it, I want to make sure the developers are active in there games so we don't end up with another Monster Girl Island type situation.
I haven't bought this game yet because it seems like it's still in it's early stages, but I've saved it to a folder of stuff I want to keep an eye on, because Kinky Fridays does seem to post updates fairly often, relative to what I've seen from a lot of others on here, and the quality of what they're making shows promise. I'm just waiting for it to get further along before I spend the money is all. It seems a bit harsh to fault the dev for people not looking into what they're spending their money on.
Well I appreciate the insight. We can always make things a lot clearer and we will do so when the work week starts. So all feedback is good. We will improve.
There are different ways to look at it. It's fair to say that people could invest the time and go through devlogs and comments to see the current state of a game. But a good number of people also look at the front page to see if it's a work in progress, a demo, a small but basically finished indie game, and so on and so forth. So, the front page should give at least a somewhat concise summary of the game's current state. The blame doesn't lie solely with the devs, but it's equally not right to blame people for not wanting to spend time digging through logs and comments when the front page is - at first glance at least - well-managed and informative. Something simple like "This is an early (or relatively early) alpha build for our game that's still WIP. Here, have a roadmap or a short summary of already implemented systems. Otherwise, look at our latest development logs" would already help increase transparency and give people a 'fair warning' and a gentle nudge to look more into it if they are unsure. The things currently on the front page don't do that and give off the vibe of a much more complete game. By which, I don't mean to imply it is done purposefully to lure people in or anything along those lines. It was probably done to share this game's goals and ideas. The problem is it can be very easily misinterpreted as intent and drive people away. Which I would like to prevent because I think this game could be great. Putting just a little more information and transparency on the front page can reduce that risk and show that the developers care about clear communication with this game's (potential) buyers and the people who follow their progress. Yes, it's a little extra work to put in, but it gives off a better feeling and can help increase trust in this project and the devs.
idk about it always being on sale, i purchased the game for 19.99 and i have the receipt to prove it, as well as bank statements saying it pulled 19.99 from account, only AFTER i purchased the game it switched to being on sale.
You have full control over the price, right? I mean, you can change the price of the game whenever you want? Just make it a $7.99 game, and when you reach the state that it's fully done, or at least far enough on its way to deserve a $19.99 price tag, change it back to that price. This way, there is no in-between when a sale ends.
It's seems the download might be broken. Whenever I download the latest build it shows a 2.8GB download but only downloads 2.4GB. It also gives me a NSIS Error.

I have a few questions. Will be gog version updated after steam release? And how does reputation with others work in this game? How to raise it?
GOG is updated the same time all other stores get updated. No store is left without updates as they come out.
Familiarity is not fully enabled right now. It will come in a future patch.
i would love a free version or demo, this looks great but money isnt a luxury i currently possess, id love to get it if i could tho
Demo will come soon.
would you consider a demo im interested but i dont wanna buy something im not gonna like?
A demo will come once we have the systems in place.
the bat girl's profile pic looks adorably happy.
Is there a release date? If not, when do you think it will release on steam? because I don’t know if I wanna risk buying it on itch.io but I don’t wanna wait…
We will release on steam once we basically have the first biome done completely. So likely sometime this year. It all depends on how it feels as we build it.
but if I buy it on itch.io, am I able to update the game and everything? And if so, how?
Yes. You download the game and install it. If you download the exe it will clean up the previous install and make sure it all works.
how do i download the exe? Cause I really want the game
Wait i just bought the game, and i dont really understand much. Are the girls interactable?
Not right now. Please be sure to check out the roadmap along with lie development blogs for more information. Interactions and familiarity is coming.
I've been stumped so far.
how do i make the creatures not fearful of me?
my familiarity keeps resetting to zero.
any tip is helpful if possible.
Familiarity is not yet functional yet. It will be coming soon.
Ah, thank you for the info
I shall be patient
Kinky Fridays, hi. I realize I don't have the best video card (2050 (laptop)), but will there be optimizations in the future?
You should be fine on a laptop 2050. Just don't throw it on high if you're having performance problems. Also be mindful of background applications like chrome or anti virus using resources.
I could be wrong, mb that's the way it's designed, but it seems like a bug to me. Because when I take a picture of any creature's genitalia, I get S+ (you have to get pretty close).
Scoring overhaul is being worked on right now. The next patch is stealth update but following that will be the scoring stuff. As right now the closer you are the greater the score. It just does not work.
do i have to reinstall the game when it updates? it says the new update is up but its not v 019 when i start the game
Yes, you need to patch the game with the new content. Use the exe installer and it will do it automatically for you.
Hey, can you add an option to pay with PayPal? It's kind of a pain to pay with a card, mine keeps declining despite having more than enough money. I don't have the same problem if I pay using PayPal.
Paypal doesn't work, I'm still waiting for Steam Early Access or something, but that too has to wait till the game is better or something like that.
I remember that much.
Steam is still being worked on. Thank you for being patient.
Hey sorry we are banned on Paypal for making a porn game. And itch won't support some adult developers over others.
Aww well, that sucks :(
I managed to get my paypal to work. Weird how it doesn't for you
And how did you do that?
I set up my paypal on my laptop as a recognized device and it works for anything I tried to use it for so far. It took me around 10 minutes in total to get all the paypal stuff to like my laptop.
We don't have PayPal as a payment option as I said. So it would be impossible to pay for it using PayPal.
Gameplay and art look absolutely amazing, even on my potato of a PC. i just have one question, is their eventually going to be an option for character customization? (Anthro/non-anthro, genitalia.ect). either way Im in love the game so far, I just wanted to ask :)
We will have costumes and hair styles. Nothing so much in the realm of being a furry creature just yet. You can have a few skins for genitals though.
Art looks cute, gameplay looks fine. Interesting idea I must say. But I can't stand games where dev either don't know or is lazy to implement proper anatomy and all the furries have same human-like genitals. I pass on that, but still wish you good luck to finish it!
More dongs are coming. Different penis means different or unique animations. So we just have to prioritize what's important to get the base of the game working.
this may be dumb but I’m new to itch if I buy it will I have access to later updates
yes, you'll get access to every update every other store gets, no delays, no patreon build or whatever. you buy it, you own it.
how do i have sex with them
You wait for the patch, then you can. Check the roadmap for more information.
sry for being dumb but where do i find the road map
It's in the description on the store page.
I bought the game on discount (winter sale).
I run Linux - PopOS! Linux to be specific, which is a fork of Ubuntu. 64-bit. 32GB RAM, 24 cores, I9 CPU. Nvidia 3060 mobile graphics.
The game just doesn't work for me. Black screen. I've tried the Linux build, I've tried installing the installer via Lutris, I've even tried non-steam game in Steam.

Yeah we are aware of this one, we ran out of time to find the error though before Christmas. For now please use wine for playing the game. We will be establishing a test environment on VM early next year to solve this.
I tried wine through Lutris - both via the installer and manual build. Also true windowed mode set to low resolution. Tried running through terminal to capture any errors. I'm a DevOps architect, if you want free help fixing this.
Oh, and my graphics card is a 4060, not a 3060
Sure, join our discord and reach out. We will talk there.
Will the game be translated into other languages? Maybe at least through an auto-translator?
Yeah we will at least add some ai translation to the game. Dunno what languages we will support but ye.
I cant get this in germany via Steam =(
We will sell keys for German customers on another site that works in Germany after release.
Considering buying, however would prefer to purchase through Steam. If I buy now through Itch, will my purchase convey to Steam as well once it's released on Steam? I do see the game there on Steam now, but only as a wishlist option, no option to purchase, pre-purchase or early access.
Hey there, your best option is to wait for the steam release as we won't be giving out keys for existing purchases. You wouldn't ask for an itch key on a steam purchase right?
I think if they see the game on Steam they could buy it there without a key, it's probably just us germany here and another country I keep forgetting. Might have been China I don't know.
The steam page is set to coming soon. Once the game is more polished we will release it there.
Actually it's pretty normal to expect games that I buy elsewhere which then become available on Steam, to be able to link the existing purchase there and own it on Steam as well. Some games are not done this way however, which is why I asked. That's fine though, I don't mind waiting to see it on Steam.
My computer and VirusTotal say this game is a virus. Can I be sure this is a false positive?
Yeah fairly certain you can assume that, may I ask what it's flagging it for
There is zero chance it contains anything malicious.
Any plans to ad paypal? Otherwise I will be forced to pirate the game, as steam has a region lock on it, that I won't be able to easy avoid.
We cannot use PayPal as they banned us for making adult games. You can purchase on GOG though. Also we will be working with a German key reseller once we are on steam.
Thanks for the reply.
I just made an account, but even though I set it up with my VPN set to the US, the store page is not available for me.

Hope this helps others that are affected by similar laws!
when will sex scenes be added back
Just take a look at the roadmap, it will answer all questions.
Is there plans for the game to come to android.
Nothing on paper, but there is always a chance.
Im getting nothing but a black screen. Is this an issue or should there be a different setting for linuex ?
We don't have a bit capacity for Linux testing. So a lot of the distros we cannot help too much with. Can you give more details on what your hardware and os is?
AMD Zen 2 w/ 4-cores/8-threads, variable frequency @ 2.4 – 3.5 GHz
16 GB LPDDR5 @ 5500 MT/s over 4x 32-bit memory channels = 88GB/s total bandwidth
steamos v.3 Arch Linux
Is this a steam deck?
yes
Okay so with the steam deck we can do some testing there but our support for the game on steam deck will come via their offical system support via steamworks.
We will make it compatible there but this will happen sometime early next year.
Also, Just wondering if you have thought about adding Lovesense support to the game? Because there will be a lot of intimacy in the game it would make it a cool addition.
Have not considered it. Maybe. Depends what we need to do.
Wasn't sure where else to report this but I just wanted to point out your Linux build seems to be broken. I'm using Pop_OS! and have got specs higher than the recommended but when I start the game there is a big black square taking up most of the screen in the middle of the title screen and can only see the image on the sides of the black square.
We don't have a way to test on all distros. Linux is very hard to get it right for everyone.
so far, I've enjoyed taking pictures of the girls and watching them do their activities while I try and take a quick pic of them. however, there is a lot more to be desired from the game. such as joining the girls in the fun. i get that the game is still under development and i honestly can't wait to see where it goes. super excited for future updates and patches.
One step at a time. Before moving on to the most desired features, we have to ensure the game is operating as we intend hence why we are making the spawning director and camera systems our current focus.
Sex, the things around sex, the monster ai for sex, environmental traps related to sex, and all those systems can only come (hehe cum) once we know the rest is operating at the level we need it to.
Having a new roadmap and an overview of minimum and recommended system requirements is just *chef's kiss*
Looking forward to the next version(s) of the game :-)
Hey thanks! We will keep them updated if we get eek out more optimisations or when we add new patches and can understand the next couple of patches ahead of time.
Im planning to buy soon but was curious can i be a wolf? Thats my sona breed so i wanna carry it on
Player characters are human. We might have a free mode in the post game or something I dunno. No plans for animal MC's.
ok thank you, when i saw the fox in images i didnt know if thatd be us haha, well human male works well
how do i get sex scenes
You can throw the lust bomb into a group of monster girls. As for more detailed scenes they are coming in a few patches.
Do we get a futa player option or will it stay Male/Female player option?
Jamie is a female by narrative. You will eventually have an option for an attachment penis or strap-on. But she won't be a futa by any other means.
I don't know if anyone else has had this issue, my game starts up fine, but after i go through the intro my game freezes here
What hardware are you playing on?
im using windows 10
okay but what cpu, GPU, etc.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8500B CPU @ 3.00GHz
So you don't have a graphics card then? Are you playing on a laptop?
Do not buy, waste of money
It all depends on what you're expecting to get from a game in development. We are focused on making the photography gameplay detailed right now. If you're here for sex content there is very little of that currently in the game, mostly temp stuff. Future patches will change this, but if you cannot articulate what you'd like to see it's hard to build a game you'd be happy to play.
i mean honestly i couldn't agree more with that granted i bought this way back when it was the barest of bones and haven't checked it out yet but to just go ahead and say "waste of money game sucks" blah blah etc etc.. is really poor judgement on a game thats in early development besides no one asked you to buy the game you did so of your own choice let other people have there own experience's themselves and if your gonna be that upset over some pocket change that don't meet your standards go complain on reddit sure someone there will give the time of day
Holy shit this game sucks. Gets worse every update and nothing works as it should.
It's early development, so we patch and change things to move towards our end goal.
hey, i can't pay with card for the game it's somehow not working... is it possible that paypal will be a way to pay for the game? cause i'd love to play that game
Hello for the card transaction just verify it with your bank that it is okay. Our company is based out of Poland so some American banks have issue with that for whatever reason.
As for PayPal that is a no go. We are banned on Paypal for making adult games, the same can be said for why itch does not let us use their payment services. So we can only use credit cards.
Dang really, I bought a few games with pp and they were adult games, In heat lustful nights is my biggest example
Maybe it's some diffrent laws in Poland
It all depends if PayPal notices you're making porn or not. We got spotted due to some... tasteful comments left by customers. It does not always happen, just that it happened to us.
rip, kinda stupid that they don't let you use them for something like that
it's against tos for making porn.
stupid question but yall think i would run it at like 20 fps at least with a intel hd 620?
That is a hard question to answer, a more modern integrated graphics solution would handle it better. The game does need some sort of vram for photo storage.
Makes sense, thanks you!
Very nice game <3
this game has sex scenes
oh my gooood!!!!!!!!!!! i didn't knew!!!!!!!
How do you not realize that?
i meant if it had sex scenes xd
A lot of things have changed since the initial upload of this game here.
What started with simple models, a small map, and some monster girls running around turned into... well, at first a more defined map, some more models, as well as some interactable, joinable sex scenes and the possibility to take pictures.
... and from there nothing really changed for a long time.
Mhh, that's not true. The whole system of taking pictures got worse, with images/sex scenes being an absolutely blurry mess and monster girls not getting recognized in the pictures.
After that, the ability to join the sex scenes vanished.
Updates were made, big speeches about how they want to change their whole system and goals and stuff, but improvements... not noteworthy, really.
This was going on for quite a while until the newest update from just a day ago! Because now... we have a bigger map. Oh, and the pictures are not blurry anymore.
Anything else worth mentioning?
Nah, not really.
Sex scenes still can't be joined. Animations are still rather basic. Models look a little better, though (probably the shaders, yay!).
And while monster girls and activities get finally recognized again in the pictures... that's janky as hell. It's not uncommon to stand directly next to a monster girl, getting a nice, clear front shot with the little yellow rectangle indicating that the girl in the picture got recognized... nope, nothing, bad picture, nothing gets recognized at all. Not that it would matter because the game still has nothing in it that makes it worth playing.
And I understand that when you decide in the middle of a project to basically change everything about the system and redo it all, that takes time... but looking at the main game page here I see a lot of window dressing.
Let's take a look:
- Explore five fully realized environments, teeming with Monster Girls.
(if those are fully realized, that is very sad and empty-looking with not many girls wandering around and a barebone variety of what, five, six, maybe seven different species?)
- A full complement of voice acting by industry professionals.
(aside from some noises the girls make, there is nothing; not even the introduction when "Professor Frida" is talking to the player character has any voice lines)
- Explore many unique locations and capture/catalog the wildlife on display.
(unique and rather empty, yes; and cataloging the wildlife might be a tad difficult with the currently inadequate recognition system of the camera)
- Bond with the Monster Girls in their unique environments, and experience new sensations!
(the sensation of being bored? that's not new)
- Unlock special photography sessions with all the Monster Girls, and capture perfect pinups!
(uh, when is that supposed to happen? Haven't seen anything that would even imply this is part of the game)
If these are your future goals, give the people visiting this site an adequate idea of what's actually really in the game and declare those things as goals.
If I would buy this game here for its original price of $ 20 and see the sorry state it's in, I'd be pretty p***ed.(EDIT: I didn't realize the on-sale status of this game is a permanent thing so far)I'm not saying you are not working on it. And I'm not saying that I can't see or don't believe that the finished game will be potentially awesome as hell.
But right now?
This simply feels like bad planning or, rather, bad handling of a project, as well as bad communication with the people who bought it or would potentially buy it.
At this point in time, $20 is a rip-off, and people who only see what's advertised here on the front page walk into it blindly.We have never sold the game for 20 dollars, it's always on sale as it is still in early development. That is what's great about the game as it stands, we want to make sure we can capture everything we want. If that means pulling something because it is not fitting, even after working on it for months, we will. We will refine and update it until it is perfect.
Everything you've talked about, how we have changed things remade things, or swapped out entire systems and flows. Yes. That is what we are doing. We will do it until we get the perfect ideal game we want to make.
If someone says it is not worth purchasing, I would tend to agree with them. We are making this game completely transparently. Customers should vote with their wallets, and until you believe it is worth the cost, you should never purchase.
Ok, I didn't keep track of the constant on-sale status of the game. That's a mistake on my part. But the transparency... I don't know about that, chief. I doubt new people dig through the past development logs to figure out what the current status of the game is. So, the most prevalent source of information is the game's main page. And that gives off the vibe of a more complete game with intricate systems and a lot more variety than there actually is at this point in time.
I know it's probably dumb of me - who has bought this game over a year ago and is looking forward to it's completion in the future - to make such a fuss about it, but trying to look at it from the perspective of someone who just stumbles across it, it feels... insincere (I know it's not meant to be).
And yes, it's just a lack of adequate adaption of the main page.
And yes, new people could try to dig deeper into the actual, current state of the game.
But not everyone does this, especially when they believe that the main page is giving them a summary of the current state of the game.
I feel that this is 100% valid criticism in the games current state.
Cutscenes that don't seem to be implemented in the game used into marketing material, promises of things you can experience, but not currently implemented in the game. Even if you are straightforward in backchannels, you shouldn't be representing it as the state of the game on the page where customers are actually purchasing it. If you are being transparent, add the details described to the games description ^ up there.
I also think that this game can be quality and successful, but I think in the current state it's in, you are presenting a bait and switch.
Yeah this is all fair. I'll update the main page with a roadmap to people can see what's coming and what's already built. That should clear up any confusion.
Awesome to hear it. I appreciate you being understanding and polite about this too. I know how easy it can be to feel like people are attacking you with criticism when it's anonymous users. Keep up the good work.
Maybe I'm the odd one, but I always check the past logs and comments before I pay for something in places like this, and I figured others did too? Is it really that rare?
I guess I just know that these things are works in progress, so while I may grab a free game on a whim without looking into it, I want to make sure the developers are active in there games so we don't end up with another Monster Girl Island type situation.
I haven't bought this game yet because it seems like it's still in it's early stages, but I've saved it to a folder of stuff I want to keep an eye on, because Kinky Fridays does seem to post updates fairly often, relative to what I've seen from a lot of others on here, and the quality of what they're making shows promise. I'm just waiting for it to get further along before I spend the money is all. It seems a bit harsh to fault the dev for people not looking into what they're spending their money on.
Well I appreciate the insight. We can always make things a lot clearer and we will do so when the work week starts. So all feedback is good. We will improve.
There are different ways to look at it. It's fair to say that people could invest the time and go through devlogs and comments to see the current state of a game. But a good number of people also look at the front page to see if it's a work in progress, a demo, a small but basically finished indie game, and so on and so forth. So, the front page should give at least a somewhat concise summary of the game's current state. The blame doesn't lie solely with the devs, but it's equally not right to blame people for not wanting to spend time digging through logs and comments when the front page is - at first glance at least - well-managed and informative. Something simple like "This is an early (or relatively early) alpha build for our game that's still WIP. Here, have a roadmap or a short summary of already implemented systems. Otherwise, look at our latest development logs" would already help increase transparency and give people a 'fair warning' and a gentle nudge to look more into it if they are unsure.
The things currently on the front page don't do that and give off the vibe of a much more complete game. By which, I don't mean to imply it is done purposefully to lure people in or anything along those lines. It was probably done to share this game's goals and ideas. The problem is it can be very easily misinterpreted as intent and drive people away. Which I would like to prevent because I think this game could be great. Putting just a little more information and transparency on the front page can reduce that risk and show that the developers care about clear communication with this game's (potential) buyers and the people who follow their progress. Yes, it's a little extra work to put in, but it gives off a better feeling and can help increase trust in this project and the devs.
idk about it always being on sale, i purchased the game for 19.99 and i have the receipt to prove it, as well as bank statements saying it pulled 19.99 from account, only AFTER i purchased the game it switched to being on sale.
If a sale ends I try to move it quickly back to being on sale, that shouldn't happen very often though.
You have full control over the price, right? I mean, you can change the price of the game whenever you want? Just make it a $7.99 game, and when you reach the state that it's fully done, or at least far enough on its way to deserve a $19.99 price tag, change it back to that price. This way, there is no in-between when a sale ends.
After the black Friday sale I will be lowering the price to 12.99. that price is likely what we will launch on steam with for early access.
wanted to buy the game while its on sale right now but debit card doesnt work to buy it. will paypal be added at some point?
No we are banned on Paypal. So we cannot add it
can the futa content be disabled?
yes
It's seems the download might be broken. Whenever I download the latest build it shows a 2.8GB download but only downloads 2.4GB. It also gives me a NSIS Error.
Itch has been having issues with their CDN for some users. This is likely the issue you're having.
Gotcha, should I just wait a day before trying to redownload
Maybe try another browser.
