Virgin Invader (Complete!)

Re: Virgin Invader

Thank you, I never press go advanced before -.-"

My main target is Japaneses since I decided to release game on DLsite when I start to learning how to make game. But I still want good sale from non-Jap too. Fighting/Beatem up is the hardest game to make but less sale in the West Only AI, hitboxs, collision code can make you headache or crazy enough. Metroid/Rockman type game are a lot easier for AI code. Like Bullet Requiem; enemies and bosses are easy to code. All you have to do is how to make stage look interesting.

About your current project. Your game is good and interesting enough. But I'm not sure this is the caused or not. Um ... maybe you released too much content on public and the demo on Patreon and your thread are not much different. But I understand you need testers.

Many Patrons support dev when they like the game and want it's too finished. But maybe patrons know that our game will finished even no support from patrons. We make game because we want our goal to achieve. Even no drama or ask money before working on our game. But the fact is we still hope good sales in the end and want good income for live in real life and exchange hundreds or thousand hours+ time we lose from making game

yeah, enemy's AI in platformer usually follows a pattern & they don't act as a group so it's pretty easy to code ^^;

It's definitely possible that the slow patreon is caused by me releasing too many public content, that make me sad lol. My game is going to be finished regardless but at this rate it won't be in it's ideal state because none of the patreon goals are reached T___T. It will be like Blitz Angel Spica Lite version lol.

Now that i think about it ... you just started your patreon few days ago so there is still room for sales improvement, you reach 100$ pretty fast after all (though probably not as fast as you had hoped).

I hope so. But it's per finished game not monthly. So it's should get a lot more compare to monthly. But it's still a month left

Like what I said in your thread "It's like full game for tester". But I still hope your game has good sale on DLsite. 18+games have a lot more sale than non-hentai game on DLsite. So I'm sure Spica will get a lot more sale compare to your previous game(Warrior Princess right) And maybe you can add patches later if you get good sale.

Or if you don't reach your patreon goal. You have the right to make extra bosses as paid DLC if you still want to make (this method will increase your first released too but maybe free for your patrons)

Re: Virgin Invader [Pre-Order Opened!]

So have You already advertise this Patreon on other forum?
Or only ULMF?
Is there any big site in Thailand?
Perhaps You can also post on PIXIV , tumblr , 4chan , or whatever with lots of viewer
I say , You should make the Patreon like 3 month's a go
Dunno , perhaps it's not what You expected
But You already have 100$+ in a week?
That is definitely not bad , some of people get 100$ in month's
Though Yes , Yours are 12$ per finished game
Perhaps should add 1$ and 5$ option too(?)

@erobotan

From I play Your game
I think Your game will not have too many content
Around 8 Boss(?)
Now You already show 5 Boss
It's more like almost a Full Game
Demo should show 15-25% of the game
Take example of saga , His demo game is 2 stage / 8 stage (Full game) / 9 stage after update(?)

Hentai game in Thai site? No way
I'm visit few sites. 1st is Ulmf and 2nd is Ryonani for zako forum (but Ryonani is quiet)
I make Patreon because of what happen to many H-game dev by paypal lately.

Can't think the reason for $1 $5 -.-"
But I thinking about $25-30 tier for girl body parts file(.PNG) not sure anyone want it or not
And maybe 3rd stage open for patrons to play while waiting for me to making a game til finished.

yeah, but it's too late for that ^^; ... . and in my opinion, even though i gave too many bosses, only 3 of them are completed ... and I still has 4 bosses expansion as goals on patreon. I think if people is genuinely interested in my game they will try to reach those goals & expands the game further ... but i don't see such things in my patreon.

I hope so. But it's per finished game not monthly. So it's should get a lot more compare to monthly. But it's still a month left

Yeah, it's still 1 month, let's be optimistic ^^

About my game's updates & stuff, that really depend on the sales on DLSite japan I guess ^^. If the sales are good I'll be more than happy to make free updates but if it's not then I have to move to a new project, gotta pay the bills ^^;.

Hmm I guess we both live in an Asian country that still think's porn as forbidden

Looking at patreon trend , it probably something like this

1$ mainly just for charity , You get nothing
5$ , Your name will be on credit page
12$ get full game when it's finished
15$ get early demo up to stage 3 , and the game when it's finished
20$ get early demo up to stage 4 , and the game when it's finished , Also name on credit page
Probably not stage 5 or above , or You will be in danger

100/200$ , You can design Your own Girl
200/300$ , You can design Your own Boss
Usually something like Limited up to 3-5 person , also the design in the future Update. Not in the release game.

OH
Some nice ideas. I will think about it
But the last tier, "design your own boss" maybe no. 8 bosses already make me pain in the ass

The last ones should something more exclusive like 500/600$ or more... I mean common guys, regular games ask for 40.000 for one fucking new character. Sara has too much shit to do already.

Not really related to the game this thread is about but I thought I should respond to your concerns. I am definitely interested in your game but I am severely lacking in funds so I cannot really support patreons, though I plan to back enough to get the game when it comes out at some point I cannot justify supporting every month in my financial situation. With regards to your game's demo I believe that it is totally fine, it has shown me enough of them game to definitely confirm my interest in the game, too much content in a demo is only a positive for me as I usually pirate a game before I buy it to confirm that I like it due to my limited budget, but your game has shown me enough that I do not find that needed and will just buy it. Also I would really like those extra bosses to be added at some point, I would gladly pay extra for them if need be. Maybe a $5 expansion after it comes out or something, I just really like the look of them (well the succubus and futa anyway, I am pretty only into yuri or futa but that is just my personal preferences) Sorry for the wall of text I just wanted to offer my take on this.

I thinking about new regular girls tier too. How much should it good enough for me to spend my 2 week for each girl.

For boss err? each boss can take up to 3 week with lot of hard wok. Especially boss that have good movement like 2nd boss. So maybe on for this tier

Thanks for the support! And don't worry I can understand your situation because i have limited budget too for games ^^;. Let's hope that the sales is good, that way i can add those bosses expansion even without reaching their patreon goal ^^ (though i still prefer if those patreon goals are met, it makes me feel more secure financially lol)

If you're going this route you should change your patreon to monthly or per update I think. And gratz for breaching 200$ limit ^^

No, I already announced that this is pre-order and main game will finished in 2 months. If I change to monthly it's look unfair to people who came for pre-order with one time paid.

For new girls tier; still not sure about price and people will really want to make there own girl or not. But these girls will come out as DLC and I will start make them later after main game released (if someone fund for it )

What kind of game that is?
Last time I know , there's a Kickstarter for 50.000$ for a game
It is shown in Idea Factory FaceBook
If it's reach 50K it will have PC Release

40K for just a new character?

=============================================

@saga

I think next time You should make a patreon for Your future game
And make it / set the game that in 6 month it will be release
I think that will attract more people
Since everyone make permonth fee

Or You should have make the patreon from May
200$ in a week / atleast not in a month , I think that could be consider as good
Since even many break 100$ in more than a month

=============================================

As for fund
I think My monthly fund for game (PS Vita) around 50-60$
But that one is easy , becoz so many local store to buy Vita Game

While patreon / kickstarter / whatever it is quite hard to access
Have to make paypal , Credit Card , bank account

I think anyone could easily spare 5$ in a month
But the system is sometime not that easy / complicated.....

If I make another game I will reconsider patreon. It's will set to per month or update is depend on how fast progress I can do and game type.
How can I set that game will be release in specific month if I still not full-time dev
Office work + travel time already take my 50 hours+per week. Not count eat/sleep/housework + etc
I can make my first game(learning everything from 0) alone in 1 and half year. I don't want to praise myself but I think it's already very fast compare to others. But it's still take more than a year

But if I'm full-time dev. I'm sure it's will take only 6-9 months per game

I'm guessing that it's from Yatagarasu's indiegogo crowdfunding

But if I'm full-time dev. I'm sure it's will take only 6-9 months per game

you should add another 1-2 months for unexpected event (taking a break is one of them ^^)

Re: Virgin Invader [Pre-Order Opened!]

hey, here's ur translation. and sure appreciated if someone can read through to see if i missed something.

あなたは元々バージン・ランド征服を企む、強力な変態悪魔だが、その計画が一人の英雄に邪魔されてしまった。
英雄はあなたを破ったが、かなりのダメージも負ってしまった。彼が必殺技を繰り出す前に、あなたのダークパワーによって、体が乗っ取られてしまった。

人間の体に宿ったせいで、あなたは大半の力を失ていた。だが、欲望と変態の塊であるあなたは、引き続き、征服を敢行した。
いい事に、あなたは女の子、特に処女をレープするたび、ダークパワーを段々取り戻すことができる。よって、バージン・ランド征服が進行するほど、あなたのダークパワーが強くなる。まさに一石二鳥、辞めるはずがない！
だが、それも容易い事でもない。故郷、そして己の貞操を守ろうとする女の子達が、まだ本調子ではないあなたに剣を向けることになるだろう。

さぁ、バージン・ランド征服の時間だ！

oh man, can't believe after more than 2 yrs, i broke my of non-posting oath for volunteering translation :V
