I think people are getting very misconstrued about this project.
To everyone who complains and will complain about development time and/or not having enough dev logs you need to remember that this is basically an investment. Sometimes these things just take a while to develop. But you can't be upset when you should already know what you're buying into. I mean, it literally says at the top of the page "preorder for alpha access". The game isn't even available for purchase on steam yet.
The Devs aren't even required to supply you with a dev log. They are just doing it out of kindness towards their supporters. In fact, a lot of games on Itch don't even do logs, and ones that do have relatively the same time span between them (every couple months, or some I've seen almost a year apart).
Lastly, The reason they sell it to you so early in development is so that they can use that seed money to make the game better and pay their employees in the process. What this is, is essentially a kick starter. The only difference is that they immediately gave you a copy of an early build for supporting them. So stop whining and stressing out the Devs like children who haven't gotten their candy.
Love you Devs, keep up the good work! <3
Last Verse Same as the first. DEV DIARY WHEN? Last DEV DIARY OCT 31 2023
There isn't much to write about without giving spoilers. So just know that the chapter 1 gold patch (aka chapter 1 being fully completed) is very close to launching. And chapter 2 is 75% done.
don’t you think that “hey cunts. Game is still being worked on. Here is some stills of what is being worked on. Oh yeah chapter 1 completed.” Is worth it. The dev diaries aren’t for you they are for us. They are for your customers to hear about everything you have cooking. But it has been two years at the game received no significant update how about releasing chapter 1 so people can enjoy it?
How about waiting until we are ready to post it with all the new changes? Also I did just post a dev blog. And no one is calling anyone cunts. Try not to put words in my mouth.
What is of value to me and to you is different, no one is debating that. I will only post when content is ready, not before.
Yes you did 15 hours again I made my post so it seems you only posted in response to me calling you out again. Again...it doesn't matter what value it has. As a customer who purchased something incomplete, I would like to know regularly that my product is being worked on. I don't want to feel like I was sold a house at full price but I only got the frame. I would like to have regular updates. Monthly is that too much to ask for. Your other games get updates frequently. Sapphire Safari has gotten 12 updates since Wet Nightmare has gotten one. Why? You seem to have a shitton to share about that game. I don't see customers of that game being pissed about development.
I posted news because I had news about chapter 1 being completed. And you said it yourself, sapphire gets more news because it has vastly more game to discuss. Never have I spoiled any of the narrative or unlockables. Wet Nightmares (given it's a visual novel) is all narrative and all unlockables.
Game is worked on daily. By your logic I should post a news post every 30 days confirming humans are continuing to build the game, which is a silly request. If you're that worried about a game being made, join the discord and ask the staff about a status. Or make a comment here. Every comment gets a response. And every question gets an answer.
At this point I should just refund you since you do not seem to be happy, feel free to put in a request with itch support and I'll honor it up until I drop the next patch.
why is paypal not a pay option for this , would love to buy the game
Because we are banned on Paypal for making porn games. It is against their tos.
ah thats a shame, is there any other way to pay for it for people without creditcards ?
After we get chapter 2 out we will be launching on steam and gog. It would be best to wait for those stores since they use a more standard payment service.
hey dev. potential buyer here. how many parts are you hoping to be able to make? like i know you're working on part 2, but I'm curious how far you hope to see this game go.
And these are some one off questions, what is the girl's official name? what would you describe her personality like? Why is the male protagonist such an asshole in the demo? what were your creative influences? if you could ask for anything, when it comes to this game, what would it be? will the voice actors/actresses change?
Hey there let me answer them for you.
1. 5 or 6 chapters.
2. Her name is Samara, she has a meek personality.
3. Because he does not like humanity on general. The game will help you understand why though.
4. I am not the author of the narrative so I cannot speak to influences. Erk likes to keep to himself about all that stuff.
5. That people can get past playing a protagonists who who is designed to be unlikable.
6. Voice acting is limited in the game. But if we find the money to do more of it we will likely use actors who can deliver larger quantity of work.
Hope that helps!
Thanks. sorry for sounding kind of like a reporter. I was curious so i just went for it. i wish you so much luck with this. you seem genuinely passionate about it.
If you haven't gotten it yet, I'd highly advise getting into Kinky Fridays' work. I've gotten nearly all their projects, and they are fantastic at what they do. Animations are awesome, and the voice acting is top tier; you definitely won't regret it!
Thanks for the support!
Bought the game over two years ago. Glad to say that I'm still here following the progress. Can't wait until the game is finished. Best of luck!
Can't wait for more progress. Best of luck!
Any general estimation or guess on about how much longer til the next chapter might be released? I truly appreciate not restricting a good artist's work to a strict deadline, but it might help a lot of us investors to have a rough guess as to when we should start to be concerned about the project being completed.
No real deadline. Chapter 2 is 75% done and in the polish phase. Chapter 1 is being completed right now first. So when that is done we will finish chapter 2.
Hi i love this game . but dose it really just stop the first night she's in your cabin when you go to bed and return to the main menu or do i have a dodgy cope it feels like a demo but i have payed for it and down loaded wetnightmares-pc-02.zip i am a bit confused. or am i missing something.
What is available right now is the first of 5 chapters. Chapter 2 is almost ready for public release.
That's' great looking forward to it. keep up the good work..
2 years and every time someone when someone ask for an update they just respond "we are close blah blah blah" its a Visual novel game not gta 6 there is no way this can take that long......disappointing truly
Okay. Not saying you're wrong but understand that building games takes time. The value I assign to a 10 dollar game is high, so the product needs to reflect that purchase price. What that means is I push erk to redo a lot of art, and he is known for being detailed. What is being built now is focused on continuity details. Things like the script is saying one thing and the visuals say another. So rebuilding assets to match these things is the primary focus for polishing.
I understand the desire to not want to wait. But I also won't poop out something worth less than 15 dollars at the 10 dollar cost.
where's your visual novel since you are making sound so easy?
Link it.
There's no need to be like that. Customers don't need to know how the sausage is made to want to play... with the sausage? I guess that analogy does not work well...
lmaoooooooooo okay lol
I saw this game a long time ago, and after a while, I decided to purchase it. I know the troubles you encountered along the way. I just hope you keep doing the best you can to get this amazing project completed.
Keep doing a good job!
Thanks! We are very close to an update. Please stay tuned.
how close a month or 2? i purchased it a year ago and i been watchign it since the beginning
I played a build of chapter 1 today that was 99% complete. We might patch chapter 1 first then finish off chapter 2 next. Chapter 2 is about 75% done.
whens next update?
Read a couple of comments down. We are close. Working on polish.
ah alr are u gona fill out all color this time becuse some parts on first chapter were colorless
Yes that and a whole lot more. We've added a lot of new fully completed images and overhauled basically every image minus like 5 or 6.
I get what everyone is saying. But this is my first time playing and I was impressed. I wish there was more of a mechanic to where you can move and touch. while she kinda fights it and a meter. I also would like maybe a part where she is sleeping and you are touching. Anyone who says I'm gross the guy basically forces this on her so like lol. I feel like if you did this. This game would be better than Doll Room. The graphics are far supirior than Doll Room. So If you add mechanics mannnnnnnn you would get sooo much support idk you can probably spend half of the money in thailand and still have a lot to make 10 chapters. lol. All and all. I won't buy the game till chapter one is fully released and after that I'm sure you'll have my full 100% support. thanks for replying to everyone and sorry everyone is being asses but I get them.
We have been taking our sweet time building it so I know what people mean. But thank you for the kind words. We discussed the option for this but if we did it, it would need to be a different game as I would do it in 3d which would lose the charm of the design quite a lot imho.
Guys, you make a good product. The quality is top notch.
But you can’t treat your audience who pays you money like that. It is necessary to name at least approximate release dates: in a week, in a month, in a year. Otherwise, it seems that the artists and developers are no longer involved in the project, and in order to collect money further, someone just sits and answers “soon” to everyone who dares to ask a question about the timing.
I mean we are working on it. The cleaning and polishing for chapter 1 is almost done. Don't get confused though, the new chapter 1 has had all art overhauled with new day dream sequences, art, and more detailed sex scenes have been added. Once we are done with polishing chapter 1 we will finish chapter 2 and we will be done for a release.
Chapter 1 Progress 96%
Chapter 2 Progress 75%
I have posted this a decent amount in comments and for anyone who has asked. The overhaul is substantial in size and content but given the nature of the game it being a visual novel means anything we post about it will actually be big spoilers. So it is being worked on. Things just take time.
Thank you very much. This is what I wanted to hear. But still, you should keep a dev blog at least once every couple of months. Good luck. <3
Today is 214 days since i Bought this game, will it ever be over?
Hey everyone, today marks one year since I bought this! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 This demo is okay, although it lacks some content haha. I hope that next year they at least mention something in the patch notes. Anyway, greetings to all the people who, like me, ARE STILL WAITING...
I thank you for your patience. We are closing in on the next patch.
So is this connected to 'Pieces of my Heart' in anyway? Because it's literally the same character with the same environment... just extended.
Samara in PomH was a Halloween cameo, this is her full game that has been around before PomH existed. Same artist worked on both games.
Ah, I see. I thought it was the other way around because PomH is completed and Wet Nightmares is still in development. Thanks for clearing that up!
Wet Nightmares is erks personal love project which is part of the reason it's take so long as he is putting his all into it. We started working together on PomH and added her in as it was a good fit given it's the same art style and we needed a Halloween tie in.
Just bought this, is there just the blowjob scene so far?
In the public build yes, we are working on chapter 2 right now and are close to a release.
Cool, cool. Thought I was missing something because of the pics on this page.
I buy the game here, do i need to buy again if i want to play it on steam?
Yes. They are different stores. However the version purchased here will get patches the same time it does on steam or any other store for that matter.
Are you planning to release the update this year? If so, Which part of the year are you planning to release? 3Q or 4Q? Or around then? Just excited to play the game when it releases, been waiting since about a year. Take your time, thanks!
Sooner then that most likely as we are on the end part of completing the next patch. I won't give a concrete date though.
do you know when chapter 2 may release? No rush just curious.
Nothing concrete. We are close though.
Will the next update be released on here or just on steam
All stores.
I need the game to be free my country is like over $2000 aka BT
It wont be free.
Got it...
so is the guy I play as a bad guy is that why Samara is there
You'll have to play the full game when it's ready to find out.
how do i get the sex scene
Play the game. It's a visual novel, so you can't miss it. Chapter 1 does not include a full sex scene though.
Is this going to become free in the future? In my country 10 dollars is not cheap to say the least. Looks lowkey good though.
No it won't be free.
I mean I understand game development takes a long ass time and you really wanna make sure everything is perfect, but almost nothing for 7 months and a "patch" being "finalized" and "polished" for over 3 (rough estimate) months? I mean no offense by this but it's really starting to look like a certain way man. Atleast keep us updated with the dev pages, devlogs, etc. so we know if you're truly working on it instead of leading us along?
Appreciate the work you're putting in regardless and hope you keep it up!
its sad that we'll have to buy the full game i really wanted a good free hentai game
Can't imagine a more horrible thing to do. Paying for good products.
No offense, I tried the demo and the work you put in looks awesome, but I don't know that I would call something a "good" product till it gets a bit farther, still tho I get it's a job, and once you've got some more for it, I will be all for supporting this game, the art is great so far tho.
is this gonna drop on steam?
Yes when the next patch is ready. It's why it's taking so long as we need to make sure it's perfect before we drop it.
Last update oct 31 2023. Omg. I bought the game and check it after. Really good pictures quality and i like it drawing. BUT! 6 month no updates!!!
It's coming together as we are simply polishing everything right now. We will drop an update soon.
Please tell me what does soon mean?) 1 day? 1 week? 1 month?)
Jesus man. Let the them take their time. If they wanted to let you know how long it exactly would take, they would've. Just accept the answer for what it is, do not pry further. It only discourages them from doing it.
It's okay. I love how excited you are for the update but know the team is working hard on it. Please be patient.
from the bottom of my heart: get a refund if you can. and never buy early access smut games ever again unless the dev has the track record. this sort of pump and dump scam happens waaaaaay too often with this sort of game. they probably started the project with honest intentions... but when they taste the easy patreon money and see how understanding the playerbase is, they quickly change gears.
believe me, i'm not exaggerating. this always happens and at this point it's the exception if a game gets finished. my honest advice is only ever buy the finished game. it's sad that this is how it has to be. but the "truth" is in the pudding.
We don't use our Patreon like that. Builds get updated at the same time on all platforms and stores. The next patch is being finalized atm, I won't ask you to be patient but just understand we are working on it daily.
Sadly i cant buy, i from brazil and my credit card does not work lol, great game btw BUT why the MC is such a asshole tho
Because the game is about his torment for his horrible deeds. Wouldn't make sense if he was a nice guy.
Only finished the demo. Promising, except that the protagonist is literal trash.
I just want to say. To those who are demanding more content while criticizing a game released on a platform for unfinished games, would you kindly fuck off.
I can't even imagine having people demand more content while also being so dissatisfied and critical with what they got at the same time.
I am all for constructive criticism, but the shit I am reading would make me want to drop the whole thing. Even the fact that he feels the need to explain himself constantly is beyond me.
To whomever it is making this game out there. Just keep working man and do it because you love it. This comment section certainly isn't giving you any reasons.
6 months without so much as a word. People demanding the game be finished already are... mostly just being brats, but people asking for an update after SIX MONTHS? That's a legitimate criticism. Even just a screenshot or a "we've made our way through X out of X slides so far." He's acting like this is Starfield or something when's it's literally a slideshow.
I wouldn't say that we've been silent. Anyone who asks for updates gets an answer. However building the slideshow as you put it is just that. Busy work. It's mostly rendering backgrounds, checking presentations and making sure everything plays well I'm testing. If I were to make a news post just for that it would be all of one sentence long.
So.......is this thing dead? Because again the last dev diary was Oct 31, 2023, 4 months ago? And the last actual game update was Oct 21, 2022, a year and 5 months ago? So what is going on?
Still working on it. Mostly just polish and stuff. Nothing really to update the public on but we will have something soon.
yeah, that was what was said the last time. And the time before that. You may feel it isn't worth updating. But once a month, this is what we are working on this is what you can look forward to. Your other games get a shit ton of fucking love but this one? Crickets
So just to verify, the end is when you go to sleep after being with Samara, right?, or did I not install the correct one?
That is the end of chapter 1. More is to come in future patches.
ill be waiting kinky im real curious if samara has powers or not
Is there a rough estimate on when the next update is 2 weeks, a month, or are y'all not certain
I don't want to put any dates on it as we are not fully sure how long our polish will take.
Any ideas on when it comes out on steam?I prefer getting it there
Yes. When we finish up to chapter 2 we will be going into early access.
Oh sweet. I will be waiting for it
bought this game two year ago.....been saying finishing up. when?
It's still being worked on. The full story has been completed, just everything is hand drawn and very time consuming to make. We are almost done with chapters 1 and 2 which is coming very soon.
Bought it two years ago as well, and I had feared the game had died. Glad to see stuff is moving along! Ya'll are so talented, and make the best games! Pieces of My Heart is amazing! Also, thanks for including stuff for us feet folk! xD
Glad you like our stuff. We want to do it correctly so it just takes longer. But it will be fantastic at the end.
Bellissimo!
How much content can I play now if I buy it?
I'm currently very interested in this game,but I don't know whether I should buy it here or Steam
Can I play subsequent updates if I buy it here?
So right now the build is just Chapter 1. We are close to finishing Chapters 1, 1.5, and 2 in the next patch. If you purchase here, or any other store (steam included) you will get every patch coming to the game.
Can I know when the next update ?
We are still working on it, focused mostly on polish and making sure its all consistent with the art changes.
can’t wait to play Samara is so interesting and cool
in my opinion not worth it some parts are either lazily done and unfinished the story and female character is good though i don't know how feel about male character
Hey there, the game is still in heavy development so a lot of what is public right now is not the final product at all. Along with missing the other 4ish chapters. As for the lead male he is not supposed to be likeable, anti hero or whatever you'd like to classify him as.
Looking forward to news and updates :) Really enjoy the atmosphere and art. Well done so far 👍
Thank you for the kind words!
can't wait for more!
