So you're saying it's the other way around on his patreon and CD is more popular there?
We'll see if it's just because of the steam release of rd.
Well, there are three choices one of them single, one open relationship and one where she didn't want one at all (?).
So, we shall see how it plays out. I'm for a poly relationship with Haruka and Luna, plus maybe Violet.
I highly doubt that is the case. If it is the case that they do make more because of the other game. I really question peoples tastes. Rebel duet is a much worse game, it's also lazy in comparison. I don't feel any passion from the dev playing that. Every time I see Rebel duel has an update, I just wish it was this game instead. Though maybe with how low effort RD seems to me, maybe that energy would make CD get bad updates as well, who knows. Maybe dev is in a rut.OK. I too get annoyed reading about lack of updates in game threads. But the case here is a bit different. Dev's other game "rebel duet" does get updates where as "casual desires" gets hardly any. That is the problem. If he has more subscribers to his patreon account because of "rebel duet" than because of CD, then they obviously would want more updates for rd and he makes more. I understand that, but I'm not happy about it.
People's tastes have been making garbage products and people very successful for decades. In this case my guess is that it's a simple matter of genres and tags. RD has a male protagonist, that alone is much more likely to attract a larger audience, and it's an isekai in a fantasy setting.
So does CD. The writing is god fucking awful, the game just happens to be cute and relatable anyway. Pretty much every scene is just Rita thinking to herself "Am I gonna do this mildly to horrifically degenerate thing or not?" and her either saying yes or no to herself, que the next scene. There's no real rhyme or reason to it, it's the VN version of an RPGM scene collection game. The dialogue is super flat and robotic too. I like it but that doesn't make it well written.
That alone makes it several orders of magnitude better than RD, in writing. RD has the protagonists completely failing at being conscious living beings. CD at least has me believe that the characters have basic human intelligence despite the robotic dialogue.
Also wasn't Haruka going to Japan? Let them revisit places from their past. It could provide opportunities for their relationship to grow.
Why wouldn't CD be allowed on steam? It doesn't contain any controversial stuff. No incest, no bestiality, no gore, no scat, no bdsm, no underage characters etc.
I get it that when you work on a project for years you need a break or something to get your mind off of it. The excitement isn't there like in the beginning. Maybe a side project will do. Or just some time off. To gather ideas and to get excited about it again. And sometimes you realize you have "moved on" and are in a different mind frame than you were back then and you no longer feel the desire to continue with your old project. That transparency would help here.
I can't comment on the quality of writing or on the characters in rd. But the characters in CD feel like real people. Even if the writing isn't top notch.
I agree. Through the awkward repetitive dialogue, we slowly but eventually get to the point where the characters have traits and behave accordingly, providing substantive interactions with each other.
This is something which should be spraypainted onto the thread starter page! I´ve been on F95 for quite a bit of time and Iondivvy has turned out to be one of the greater disappointments among Developers. They work diligently to attain the "lofty heights" of devs like Gumdrop, L&P, Aorrta or ICSTOR, to name a few, who reached a level iof infamy rarely finished at.
Indeed. The more experienced the characters get the more daring the sex. I appreciate that this game starts slow. I know that it's not to everyone's liking. You help her discover what she likes and what she doesn't. Does she like to show off? Does she like boys, girls or both? It's your choice.
that's up to steam's scrutinizer if chars look too young or not. dev stating that they are over 18 doesn't mean anything.
Correct, once a steam nazi reviewer gets their hands on your game and says no, it's sadly very hard to get them to change their mind. Sometimes you get one that actually tells you the problem, but mostly it's just based on their feelings and we all know what basing things on feelings does. You end up with garbage decisions. just like the Patreon and CC companies and advertisers crap where they put radicicolous restrictions on what you can and can't do. Illegal stuff, fair enough. Everything else they say you can't do is stupid.
