I wanted to do the $1 monthly tier but says it's sold out?! I currently support more than 10 devs but would like to be able to support you as well, can you, maybe, not put a limit on the dollar tier. I'm not looking for benes, just to support in some small way, as many devs whose work deserves additional support beyond the game purchase.
The $1 tier got limited on patreon when the game went for sale here on itch, this was due to people joining for an hour at the $1 level then leaving right after they downloaded just so they could get access to the game for $1. I could of just not published the downloads to the $1 level but I felt that was unfair to those have been supporting at that level since the start of this project. Let me look into creating a secondary $1 level for those who want to support but cant afford more, This level wont have access to downloads though.
See that makes sense. I paid on Itch, but have NO issue with no being able to download from Patreon. Like I said I support (actually!) 16 devs, so money has to be spread out, lol. But appreciate your reply and research.
in case you haven't checked, I did add the $1 level back, patreon actually didn't like me doing that, they prefer the minimum to be $3 now, which makes since, with the fee structure, for $1 donations, I get like $0.38
its this way on everything, you have credit card transaction fees and then patreons fees. Credit card fees is where most of it goes on the $1 because credit card companies have a minimum fee amount. But the ratio gets better on the higher levels, which is why patreon recommends $3 minimum because is meets these minimums on a % level. So you get 2.37 on a $3 patreon. Same goes for subscribestar too. Some brick and morter buisness wont allow you to use credit card for transactions under $5 because of this same thing.
I went for the annual, if things change (which they may in May) I will up my patreon amount, but appreciate the ability to, at the very least, show my interest and support.
Recently bought this game because I enjoyed it so much, just wanted to know if theres a discord channel I can join to stay up to date on development etc.
If I'm being an idiot and just missing a link somewhere I apologize. Have a great one
Interesting, the game updated yesterday however the itch.io app is not allowing me to upgrade it, even though the page is updated with the new version.
Yes, I have bought the game, so I should be able to update. Has it been switched so it can't be updated through the itch.io app?
All updates for this chapter are "free" after you pay, i dont reset payments like some devs do.
the only question is when the chapter change happens, originally slotted for day 10, its could likely happen at day 5 due to mobile size restrictions. But if it happens at day 5, then chapter 2 will also be free if you purchased this, as I feel $10 for 10 days is a good distribution.
ive tried, Stripe keeps kicking me off due to adult content, and pay pal and stripe are the only options here, the only other option is to let itch completely handle payments but the fees are higher and they hold onto the money longer, I may switch to that soon, but with xmas and all I needed faster access to it.
their is a free version, its the "demo", its just listed as such because that's how itch wants to list it, free version will be update to 0.35 when 0.4 is out (Full day 4), Free version will always be available, just will be an update behind, and won't contain some of the extra's, like the upcoming Christmas special.
huh? If itch triggered some kind of update the other day, it was just me changing the header and adding the xmas background as the xmas special will be available by xmas.
Was originally going to be done by christmas but I had the flu and had to take a little time off, so shortly after xmas, but there will be a xmas special coming by xmas.
Unfortionately i got kicked off stripe again, they dont like adult content. And stripe and paypal are the only 2 options supported on itch. Even without a paypal account you should still be able to pay with credit card through paypal.
They've started forcing you to create an account, complete with putting in privacy-violating piles of personal information, way beyond what is normally required for a CC payment. Please push back on Stripe or push Itch to support something else.
i dont think that the scene with ava is worth the amount of work it comes with, you could probably get the same results with less renders if you use blend effects instead, if it is possible to use blend effects in renpy.
Yes you can blend in renpy, and that's mostly whats used, their is actually only 5 animations total in that scene. But i do prefer to do the animations vs blending for a few reasons, actually takes less time for me to do as I don't have to babysit the computer while it works, and phone's HATE blending. Actually had to add a new feature due to this that limits the frame blending because it crashes on a lot of phones.
i think i wasnt clear enough because i dont see in the scene what i meant. i meant a blend transition from one image to another like in this video on 3:24
what is the overall feedback of your supporters right now to the ava scene?
Maybe I am not fully understanding, All I see is a much slower additive/dissolve transition from what I normally use. I did fade into black allot during that scene, but believe it or not, in renpy, to do that, it has to transition to a black image. My most used transition timing in most cases is 1 second for most the game, but for sequences like that, I transition in 0.06 and 0.04 timing between stills and then 0.1 and 0.5 when fading to black.
On patreon, the voting ended with like 75% loved it and want more of it, the other 25% was more or less its cool, but is it worth the effort. It took about 50 hours to do that scene, so for your average person that's a week of work, but at the rate I work when I am really focused on something, it was 3 days.
and allot of the reason for the really fast timing, is to get as much fluidity as I can. it would be like when you convert stills into a video, you have frame blending, which is essentially really fast transitions to fill in frames so you have more fluid movement and less jerkyness, frame blending just makes things smoother overall. and running fast timing for transitions is essentially doing the same thing, and with a timed sequency, I cant just convert everything to a video because if I need to change 1 thing, every part of the video would have to be redone and retimed. but it has the side effect of phones really hate it, phones don't like to transition between a bunch of images in a very short amount of time.
I read below in other comments that this game is moving to Steam. Is it listed as an upcoming game yet? Do you know when it will be released? Will it be early access at first?
All the developer stuff is done, I am just waiting on full day 4 before I submit to valve for review. It will be early access. Day 4 will be out by xmas and at that point ill submit to valve, so some time in january?
The law says that Steam needs to have a full age registration by uploading an official document like drivers license or something. The Law was there for years but they enforce it more like from 2021 or something and steam either needs to update theire age verification or they just block sexual games in general in Germany.
Oh, thought I would bring this up as I noticed it the other day. Both the shorts are not listed on your main page, aka "View all by 3DRComics.". Just thought I'd let you know.
Now to try other routes while waiting for the next update! :D
When this game is moved onto Steam will we still have the saves we've already made? And will that be the only version to receive updates or can the game I've downloaded already still be updated? Basically I mean, do I NEED to download it on Steam after it's released there?
It's renpy so the saves will work, you just may need to copy/move them. And I will still update here as well as steam. So you won't NEED to download on steam.
are you aware of a bug in 0.035.91 on day 1, when you touch alex on the bum while message, it skips the decision and goes straight to waking up from sleep.
*sighs* It looks like I should have bought it last week!
Either way, I loved the Demo, especially since you had some playtime with the demo. Some demo's I've played showed the graphics and just a few minutes of playtime that was more kinetic and didn't give you an idea about the gameplay. Your demo, however, let you know how the story could go, gave options, and gave a better overall feel for the game. Keep up the excellent work!
It will remain at this till the end of December. The steam process is moving quicker then I thought so its looking like January, for steam launch and having to keep prices set.
I picked "cousin" for a protagonist, and next I saw a picture of a nude girl while she was wearing a %$(^& face mask! WTF is that! I find that extremely offensive, really. Beyond extremely actually.
Is she gonna keep wearing that throughout the game??
Yeah, Pretty much. Chapters weren't originally planned for this, and things haven't been changed yet to reflect it, it will be coming next update. Chapters became a thing due to the size of the game, and we didn't want people having to download 20 gigs of a game for each update as we get around day 20. Eventually full release of this game was planned to be about $30, but now we will just have 3 chapters at $10, $4 right now for chapter 1. Once we get around day 8 we will start pre-sales for Chapter 2 at a discounted rate as well, and same around day 18 for chapter 3.
If you typed the cvc incorrectly then it didn't process, it may show as pending in your account, but that will disappear in a day or 2 and the money will return to your account (I used to be Director of Technology for several food service chains, I am well aware of all the annoyances of pending transactions in bank accounts.)
my opinion and first impression of the bit added for feedback, i like the whole not having to click through the intimate scenes and shit that's nice for sure and the scenes look nice. the mentality stats seem like a nice concept i really wanna see how that aspect plays out. Also something about the concept of taking advantage of the situation seems like it should feel wrong but within the story and what you know you don't really feel wrong for it in fact it kinda feels the most like the most sensual moment of the story so far. It doesn't feel to fast or sudden either since it kinda make sense because it happens IRL to people in a lot of cases so all in all i like it a lot and i'm eager for more.
gotta give mad props. this is a lot for a single person to do so i appreciate the effort.
Hey, just played the demo and the game looks AMAZING. I was wondering if it’s possible to add in an option to change the MCs skin if possible? I feel that this would add in more of an impact on the players choices throughout the game. Would defn buy if so. Great job overall
A few of the idea's that have come up are changeable skin and changeable anatomy, At this point it wouldn't be to hard. but as the story progresses it would become impossible task. The LI's already have allot of dynamics to them that change as the story goes. So scenes will already need to be rendered multiple times due to this, Add in changeable skin and anatomy and could get to the point that it takes days to render 1 image with all the different options. It's something we would love to do, but it doesn't seem feasible,
This is not the first time I've seen a developer mention the long time it takes to render images, but this is honestly something that seems strange to me. The geometry, lighting, and texturing in these games doesn't match AAA games real-time rendered scenes, so why do they take so long to prerender?
Rendering in true physical lighting is nothing like a game engine. Yes game engines are getting good, i mean insanely good, I have personally been working with unreal engine recently to try and start doing rendering that way because it is insanely good and real time (ish). One of the major differences between this and a game engine is how much is faked in a game engine. lighting is not accurate in games engines, unreal engine is getting damn close though. Lighting in game engines are prebaked, which is something done on development side and takes an insane amount of time to calculate, and due to that shadows aren't accurate when it involves things moving, prebaking only works with stationary objects.
It wasn't until real time ray tracing that things got closer, and real time ray tracing is a fun concept because it basically takes the 3d rendering that we do, and does a half ass job it and overlays it in your game, Ever notice the pixelization in rtx games on lower end cards? those are basically the result of it not being able to render fast enough for the scene, they are actually called fireflys and have been a known thing in 3d rendering for a looooong time. that effect is new to video games and only rtx enabled games because its trying to accurately rendering lighting that it cant do fast enough.
Then their is polygon count.. Video games use bump maps and normal maps to simulate high polygon count, because well... trying to through an insanely high polygon count character into a video game engine would get you about a half fps and would look like complete dog shit. Go up to a nice textured wall in almost any AAA game and look at it from an angle, the protrusions and definition disappear the more of an angle you look at it. yes you can take like a daz character and load it into the unreal engine, but the polygons are significantly dropped because their is no subdivision so all the high detail shit we put into them, disappears without bump or normal maps. also your AAA games, you have teams of developers and millions of dollars behind it. not one guy with about $5000 worth of hardware....
all that being said, unreal is getting damn close.. and i am looking into using it for future projects.
and in-case you were ever curious, this is what a 1 second render looks like
Just like I told the guy who said something yesterday, Its so everyone who buys now keeps access when the price goes to $10 when we release to steam. and I am working with itch to adjust everyone who already bought at 5 so they will maintain access when it goes to $10, This is just so when it goes to $10, everyone doesn't have to pay again.
Yes, upon steam release anyone who has already purchased here will receive a steam key, and I actually just submitted all the paperwork to steam today to get the process rolling.
Yes. I know, I have various checks and options for the conversation coded for that to allow it to even happen, I just wanted to make sure every one saw it so I removed those checks and options until its complete.
v0.035.91 (tiny update as well) male cousin and female aunt. convo between kayla and ava in coffee shop. when kayla tells ava to "hang in their" instead of "hang in there". also says "he just seems impossible to please" on the female route instead of she. also if bought here the version says leave feedback for the teaser/test scenes. do you want that here or another place?
You can let me know what you think here, originaly that scene was going to be removed for itch release, but since we decided to charge for this now we left it in.
or you can play the free version which is an update behind. do you go to McDonald and complain because you have to pay for your food? I spent 400 hours in October on this update, I am allowed to ask for a little compensation for my work.
let me put it this way the game you made is not good enough to be charged for and it sure isnt good enough to be put on steam. also i would complain about being charged for something that was previously free
well their is a lot of people that will disagree with you. and the fact that this is the 8th highest selling game on itch?
You may not like the game, that's fine, not everyone will, but their is a lot of people who do, and who are willing to support the continued development.

Good day,
Recently bought this game because I enjoyed it so much, just wanted to know if theres a discord channel I can join to stay up to date on development etc.
If I'm being an idiot and just missing a link somewhere I apologize.
Have a great one
Ah,
Thank you very much
will we get the christmas update or is it patreon/subscribestar only?
Its coming here, just been really busy trying to finish day 4
Interesting, the game updated yesterday however the itch.io app is not allowing me to upgrade it, even though the page is updated with the new version.
Yes, I have bought the game, so I should be able to update. Has it been switched so it can't be updated through the itch.io app?
No app should work, but this was a very minor update, only a few minor code changes ahead of the release coming in a week or so.
I remember you saying that on your update, so I thought I would pop in and update it.
We'll see how it goes when you release the rest of day 4 on the app!
Thanks again for a great game! (I do also have several others of yours I like too!)
Just a quick update. Removing the installation and reinstalling, installed the latest update.
If i buy the game on here. Will all future updates be free ? Or do i need to pay again ?
All updates for this chapter are "free" after you pay, i dont reset payments like some devs do.
the only question is when the chapter change happens, originally slotted for day 10, its could likely happen at day 5 due to mobile size restrictions. But if it happens at day 5, then chapter 2 will also be free if you purchased this, as I feel $10 for 10 days is a good distribution.
Cool. When are you releasing on Steam ?
Steam release will happen when Day 5 is completed.
Christmas is gone, update on new year?
(yes I'm a little impatient)
Things are a bit behind because my kids and I got sick.
I just got the xmas special out on patreon yesterday.
can't give an estimate on full day 4 yet.
I didn't know you are married...
Nvm I don't even know if you're a man or a woman 😂. Get well soon💛
lol, not married anymore, separated a few years ago. my life anymore is being a single dad and making adult games ;)
sad to hear that, hope you meet someone kinky and kind soon.
Damn I really wish you had other payment options overall good game.
ive tried, Stripe keeps kicking me off due to adult content, and pay pal and stripe are the only options here, the only other option is to let itch completely handle payments but the fees are higher and they hold onto the money longer, I may switch to that soon, but with xmas and all I needed faster access to it.
It's all good Happy holidays.
Hi, I just played this and I love it. Looking forward to the next update and happy holidays.
Please make credit card purchase, possible. Thank you
I've tried, Stripe refuses adult content, and stripe and Pay Pal are the only options here. You can buy with credit card on paypal.
Hey:) will there be also pregnancy?
Yes, Can be turned on and off through the in game phone.
will we see a free ver. sometime?
their is a free version, its the "demo", its just listed as such because that's how itch wants to list it, free version will be update to 0.35 when 0.4 is out (Full day 4), Free version will always be available, just will be an update behind, and won't contain some of the extra's, like the upcoming Christmas special.
thank you

That's not how that "word" is used.

Hi, i would like to buy the game, but i dont have access to my paypal acc. Is there a diffrent way to pay? Credit for example or pay safe?
Liked your demo
Unfortionately i got kicked off stripe again, they dont like adult content. And stripe and paypal are the only 2 options supported on itch. Even without a paypal account you should still be able to pay with credit card through paypal.
They've started forcing you to create an account, complete with putting in privacy-violating piles of personal information, way beyond what is normally required for a CC payment. Please push back on Stripe or push Itch to support something else.

whats gonna happen to people from Germany? We cant buy such games in Germany because of Age registration Laws.
Whats the laws over there.. first im hearing about this, honestly figured the us was most restrictive on this
The law says that Steam needs to have a full age registration by uploading an official document like drivers license or something. The Law was there for years but they enforce it more like from 2021 or something and steam either needs to update theire age verification or they just block sexual games in general in Germany.
wow.. it will remain here, just because its on steam doesn't meen I'll remove it from here so hopefully you can still get it here.
Do you have a discord by any chance? Btw love your visual novel one of my fav so far and love Alex and Dakota my fav characters.😊
Oh, thought I would bring this up as I noticed it the other day. Both the shorts are not listed on your main page, aka "View all by 3DRComics.". Just thought I'd let you know.
Now to try other routes while waiting for the next update! :D
Hi guys. I want to change the language of the game (my local lamguage). Can someone guide me please?
what is the 6 digit code guys?
you can skip the part. how ever if i remember right it should be 444269.
what do i do after i unlocked the bathroom?
key in the box underbed
i dont see the key its just a battery
open the other vibrator
When this game is moved onto Steam will we still have the saves we've already made? And will that be the only version to receive updates or can the game I've downloaded already still be updated? Basically I mean, do I NEED to download it on Steam after it's released there?
It's renpy so the saves will work, you just may need to copy/move them. And I will still update here as well as steam. So you won't NEED to download on steam.
are you aware of a bug in 0.035.91 on day 1, when you touch alex on the bum while message, it skips the decision and goes straight to waking up from sleep.
checking.... Can you tell me which route?
Just saw it happen, Thanks for letting me know. Fixing..
It was the addition of the guided mode, apparently I missed the "unguided" version of that menu.. Thanks again!
*sighs* It looks like I should have bought it last week!
Either way, I loved the Demo, especially since you had some playtime with the demo. Some demo's I've played showed the graphics and just a few minutes of playtime that was more kinetic and didn't give you an idea about the gameplay. Your demo, however, let you know how the story could go, gave options, and gave a better overall feel for the game. Keep up the excellent work!
Now to see where I might have loose change. :D
It will remain at this till the end of December. The steam process is moving quicker then I thought so its looking like January, for steam launch and having to keep prices set.
YAY, got the full game now! Your game is the first I'll have bought here!
Very good game, keep up the good work!
Could you add something like burglary? Unlcle/Cousin/... stopping burglary?
(Sorry if it's inappropriate to ask this, #Newbie)
lol what?
Story, like alexis sleep walking and, burglar gets inside...??
well without giving spoilers.... something like this is written for side content...
I picked "cousin" for a protagonist, and next I saw a picture of a nude girl while she was wearing a %$(^& face mask! WTF is that! I find that extremely offensive, really. Beyond extremely actually.
Is she gonna keep wearing that throughout the game??
MC faces aren't shown.
Hi there If we buy this is this only for the demo? or is it early access for the new update. Thankyou!
if you buy it, you get full access to all updates through chapter 1. Chapter 1 is Days 0 through 10
ohh so £3 for like 10 episodes really? if im thinking it out right lol
Yeah, Pretty much. Chapters weren't originally planned for this, and things haven't been changed yet to reflect it, it will be coming next update. Chapters became a thing due to the size of the game, and we didn't want people having to download 20 gigs of a game for each update as we get around day 20. Eventually full release of this game was planned to be about $30, but now we will just have 3 chapters at $10, $4 right now for chapter 1. Once we get around day 8 we will start pre-sales for Chapter 2 at a discounted rate as well, and same around day 18 for chapter 3.
Let me look into this, did you run credit card payment (Through stripe) or was it paypal?
I do have one blocked payment on stripe from about 30 minutes ago (Incorrect cvc)
If you typed the cvc incorrectly then it didn't process, it may show as pending in your account, but that will disappear in a day or 2 and the money will return to your account (I used to be Director of Technology for several food service chains, I am well aware of all the annoyances of pending transactions in bank accounts.)
No worries, Had it actually processed I would have had no problem sending you the game and then getting itch to give you sustained access.
my opinion and first impression of the bit added for feedback, i like the whole not having to click through the intimate scenes and shit that's nice for sure and the scenes look nice. the mentality stats seem like a nice concept i really wanna see how that aspect plays out. Also something about the concept of taking advantage of the situation seems like it should feel wrong but within the story and what you know you don't really feel wrong for it in fact it kinda feels the most like the most sensual moment of the story so far.

Then their is polygon count.. Video games use bump maps and normal maps to simulate high polygon count, because well... trying to through an insanely high polygon count character into a video game engine would get you about a half fps and would look like complete dog shit. Go up to a nice textured wall in almost any AAA game and look at it from an angle, the protrusions and definition disappear the more of an angle you look at it. yes you can take like a daz character and load it into the unreal engine, but the polygons are significantly dropped because their is no subdivision so all the high detail shit we put into them, disappears without bump or normal maps. also your AAA games, you have teams of developers and millions of dollars behind it. not one guy with about $5000 worth of hardware....
all that being said, unreal is getting damn close.. and i am looking into using it for future projects.
and in-case you were ever curious, this is what a 1 second render looks like
Just bought the 5 dollar thing kinda sad no free but goat game keep up the good work
Idk if buy it here or in Patreon I really love this the first time I played it (I think is now the demo)
Lmao.... no way you made it 50% off and doubled the price at the same time
Just like I told the guy who said something yesterday, Its so everyone who buys now keeps access when the price goes to $10 when we release to steam. and I am working with itch to adjust everyone who already bought at 5 so they will maintain access when it goes to $10, This is just so when it goes to $10, everyone doesn't have to pay again.
So is a Steam key included when i buy it here ?
Yes, upon steam release anyone who has already purchased here will receive a steam key, and I actually just submitted all the paperwork to steam today to get the process rolling.
Awesome. +1 supporter :)
@3DRComics - absolutely loving this game - renders are amazing, especially the ones up close.
Edited to remove potential spoilers
Yes. I know, I have various checks and options for the conversation coded for that to allow it to even happen, I just wanted to make sure every one saw it so I removed those checks and options until its complete.
Ok cool. In that case all good! Thanks once again - awesome work!
v0.035.91 (tiny update as well) male cousin and female aunt. convo between kayla and ava in coffee shop. when kayla tells ava to "hang in their" instead of "hang in there". also says "he just seems impossible to please" on the female route instead of she. also if bought here the version says leave feedback for the teaser/test scenes. do you want that here or another place?
You can let me know what you think here, originaly that scene was going to be removed for itch release, but since we decided to charge for this now we left it in.
So what those who cant pay for yalls game get shafted all cause yall want money thats stupid as fuck.
or you can play the free version which is an update behind. do you go to McDonald and complain because you have to pay for your food? I spent 400 hours in October on this update, I am allowed to ask for a little compensation for my work.
let me put it this way the game you made is not good enough to be charged for and it sure isnt good enough to be put on steam. also i would complain about being charged for something that was previously free
well their is a lot of people that will disagree with you. and the fact that this is the 8th highest selling game on itch?
You may not like the game, that's fine, not everyone will, but their is a lot of people who do, and who are willing to support the continued development.
Great visual novel I love it
When meeting Misa instead of saying Welcome, it's saying Wecome
