i think the resolution of renders at 1080p will be more than enough, since in essence 1080p and 1440p are not particularly different in quality, but for some reason the higher resolution takes up more MB, I play on the standard 1920x1080 so for me there is no difference in terms of quality, the only thing is I don’t understand why, but many renders from other similar novels have a high resolution, but the image is soapy and the pixels are suspiciously ugly, I don’t know what this depends on, but I didn’t see it with you and it was pleasing to the eye, so thank you.
now about the gallery, for many (including me), the gallery is a very “important” function in such novels, it is very convenient when every scene you open can be played back at any time without loading extra saves (in some novels I simply saved in front of the scene, which really polluted the slots), the gallery will be very convenient especially in the final release, since the game will be larger, there will be more content and in order not to replay everything again for the sake of the scene or not to load saves before them, the gallery will be super useful, BUT I I think at the moment it’s not worth worrying about this, the game is not exactly huge right now, there won’t really be anything in the gallery, and in terms of the speed of creating renders and other things, it will not be a big waste of time, but it will be a waste of time, so it’s all at your request and discretion.
i really like the idea of this game, it’s actually something interesting and super exciting, I wish the author strength, patience, health and all the best, you’re great! we are waiting for news and updates, thank you. (all this was written through a translator, I don’t know English perfectly, so something may not be clear, but I really wanted to leave my recommendations)
Check this game every so often since I'm excited for new stuff from you, take your time with the update, I know it's gonna be a banger when it comes out. Legit 10/10 game for me,
I do hope you are joking, as your name implies. In your previous comment, you alluded to your daily check of update as a "job." That is some serious obsession, so it is great that you've stopped that.
No one is entitled to the gamedev's time for new fap material. He has an actual full-time "job" that he must labor through to provide for himself and his family. He makes no revenue from this—he is very generous to share this quality passion project for free (although I'm sure many, like myself, would be happy to be patrons). And contrary to your claim, he does give updates: two comments below yours, he shared that he is hoping to push the extended demo out in the next two months.
Yes, everyone has problems in life, but you obviously do not respect that. And that is besides the fact that not everyone has a clinically diagnosed condition where the symptoms literally impact your ability to work or even derive joy from life. If you had even an ounce of empathy, you would've realized how disheartening this would be for romatisoft to read. Rather than building him up, you are tearing him down when he has communicated he is at his most vulnerable. Good riddance.
I'm sorry to hear you feel that way Joker. I've been pretty open about the struggles I've been having, and I have continued to work on this project through this difficult time.
I could probably provide more frequent Dev Log updates; that's on me, but all-in-all, I would rather release high quality content than simply push something out because of deadline pressure.
Hi, just wodnering if there is a rough estimate for future progression on this game? Its such a lovely game but i wanna play more 😂 i want those hairy beefy men!
Hi! I am hoping to get an extended demo out in the next 2 months. The extended demo would include the full Alan scene. After that I think it will take 2 - 3 months per player match.
It's a bit difficult to say because I haven't been able to work on it consistently. I made a huge amount of progress in the last week of December, but have basically not touched it since then.
Absolutely love the game! strip games are a big fetish of mine. I was considering making a game this way myself. Most of what I'd like and like to change has been said by others and even promised by you. - A Patreon so I/we can support this project further - More body types for the opponents - A proper body for the MC, and hopefully a choice - Wardrobe choices (a LOT of work I know), and the option to turn piercings off - Choosing what happens in the scene upon winning - Some work on the "uncanny valley" - Have you considered multiple card deck styles? Regular, erotic and maybe tarot-esque (the latter would be great to imagine the game some sort of magical contract). Working on the renders and the story will be a lot of work. are you considering collaborating with other artists and writers? How difficult would it be? If you are considering making other games seeing these characters come back as you've said would be great, and similarly seeing characters from other games here would be great. Will there be a difficulty progression? Meaning do you have to battle through some characters to get to others, or will it be a free choice?Will you add a "gallery", or will we have to save the game at key points?
Just a huge thank you from me for making the game I most wanted to play. Hope you keep it up.
Thank you so much for all this thoughtful feedback 😊
I haven’t addressed everything you’ve mentioned or asked, but here’s some responses.
- re: Patreon. Maybe. I’m still trying to release an updated complete demo version with slightly improved more reusable code. After I’ve done that I’ll be better able to create a production schedule and will think about launching a Patreon then.
- Opponent body types. I may add some opponents which would increase the body diversity but I’m still not sure yet.
- MC body. Yes that’s definitely happening. You can check the most recent devlog update to see a preview.
- Wardrobe. I wish. Adding wardrobe options increases variability way too much. With 3 MC choices each wardrobe variation adds exponentially more work.
-Game Progression.My plan is for the player to beat characters in order. Once they have done that once, I would like them to be able to replay any matches in whatever order they want.
The wet clothes are super hot. This game is really promising. But I wish "me" also has a real body, the ghost-like one is kind of weird in the sex scene. I will look forward to future updates.
Great question! I’m not sure yet. For now I’m focussing on rewriting the poker code, improving and completing the Alan scene, and planning out the next scenes. Once I’m done with that I expect I’ll know if I feel ready to launch a Patreon.
Good question! I don't think this game will offer much romance per se but I am toying with the idea of adding bits of story to the characters (including their relationship to the Player Character).
Future games of mine will definitely have romance, though.
Will hopefully post a dev log update regarding some of these things soon.
Looks very promising! I appreciate the high quality of the demo, and the effort you must have put in to make it so interactive. Also appreciate your attempt to help players self-insert with the aid of the glass ghost, but I think it would be nice to have an MC/protagonist, just my opinion. Glad to know that you’re considering other story-driven works in the future. Looking forward to the next update!
Thank you!!! And yeah, the general vibe is that the ghost/glass MC is unloved and I do plan on changing him. I will post a devlog update—hopefully within the next week—about some of my plans.
Really enjoyed the demo! Love Alan as a character. Should anal sex be included, will there be any way for the player to bottom? Or is it mostly body worship?
Happy to hear it, and yes! The plan is for every 1v1 match the player can top or bottom (or both in one scene). There might be a 2v1 match where the player can top/btm or both but only do one with each character in the match.
Noted! Thank you for the response. Does that mean the 2v1 is going to be topping for one and bottoming for the other? Or is it more that you choose to either top or bottom for both?
Is there a way to either substitute the player's look with another model? I understand a mannequin is probably easiest to represent all players, but it actually kind of seems to pull the player out of the scene I think.
Ah, just saw Sly's post, yeah two skins/models for the player to choose from would be a good idea I believe. I also agree, I'm very interested in Max.
Other than that, I liked the demo. It wasn't overly complicated and it was interesting. Looking forward to more.
So far, a human character model has been the most consistent request. So yes, I do think I'll have to do that. :P
I do want to redo a bunch of these renders anyhow, so although it will be time-consuming, I'm quite happy to switch out the glass-man for something more real.
Huh, a yaoi/bara focused strip poker game. Not something I would've ever expected to see. It even remembers that stripping is both ways! Not my kind of content though, but I can appreciate that you've put the effort in. I wish you the best!
The demo was fantastic. I really loved it. I already answered the survey, but I wanted to address the subject I talked about in the survey and expand it. During my gameplay, some of Alan's facial expression were kinda off, kinda uncanny and turned me off, sorry, haha. I believe there has to be a little rework in the expressions and maybe the model's face. But, besides that, everything was five by five. It was funny, it was sexy af (the wet clothing was way too hot, love it! We need more scenes like these), the lightning and environtment was cool. And I really love the choosing of the size of their butts; nothing better than men with big thighs and juicy bubbled butts.
Maybe you can add a story for the game, besides isolated strip games? Like, the more you play with one character, lets you unlock events of his story and further their relationship. Not a deep story; just something nice and easy-going to tied everything.
And with the MC's model, I think having 2 options from where too choose would be fine: one model with light skin colors and the other with dark skin tones, to give some diversity, should work well.
And that's my review. I really hope for more. Right now, Elie and Max are the ones catching my eyes the most; I'll be waiting for them, thristy. This game have so much potential, so if I can help you with something else or you need me to expand something of my review, just tell me.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed feedback! I think I know what you mean about Alan's face. There's a few times, especially when he's stripping but before he's fully naked, that his mouth and eyes look unnatural.
Regarding story; I know what you mean. Part of what makes a VN so hot is the interplay between story and image. You develop an investment in the characters and then when they get busy it's even more sexy. That said, I'm not sure how much story this particular game will have. I'm not saying no, I'm just not sure yet. Part of why I chose to do this as my first game was because it doesn't really have a story and I felt it would allow me to better learn the software (Ren'Py/Daz) without getting too hung up on other stuff.
I definitely plan on doing more story-driven projects in future. I also plan on using some of these characters in other stories where their roles will have more of an impact on the plot. And that said, I'm still not saying no to adding story details in this project, I'm just not sure yet.
Okay, I played the demo again and I can stated that the main problem with Alan face, besides some strange expressions, is the eyes. Same with Elie's model picture here. Their eyes are kinda alien, I don't know. I think changing them for a more ordinary color, will help a lot. And also, if you're redoing Alan's model, maybe you could increase his tits size? He has already a big butt, but I believe in MAN BOOB supremacy, haha.
And, in regarding of the story, I thought of two options:
If you want a simple story: the MC gets inform of this "Casino" (or something) that, for money, you can play in 1on1 session with some guy, that works there, and if you win, you receive a special treatment, like a happy-ending massage, sorta. And after that, you can go on dates and develop your relationship with him.
If you want a longer/complex story: in this scenario, the MC is informed of a Tournament of Blackjack. So, you have your first encounter with Alan, and if you win, you face the next character (Dean, for example). As the days go by within each match, you get the chance to meet and develop your relationship with the guys you win matches against. There may also be a point system; let me explain my idea: you date, and if you answer correctly, you earn points. But also, you can replay the match with the guy in the same scenario, and see the same sex scene again, to earn more points. And when you earn enough points, you can play another match, in another setting, with different dialogue and a different sex scene, further developing your relationship.
I don't know if I explain myself correctly, but I hope so. And if this helped you in any way, fantastic. Keep up the good work.
PD.: if you will add more characters in the future, I will love to see a guy that is like Olivine from Nu:Carnival: a chaste/priest character that is so kinky but is so repress that he can't accept his "dark side". Also, Olivine has big tits, a big butt and a very summisive personality, haha.
Oh no! Is the issue not knowing how to play Blackjack or is there something difficult about the game itself?
One tip that I didn't include in the in-game instructions: you can abuse the save mechanic + the "reshuffle" mechanic to pretty much get whatever outcome you want...
Blackjack is actually pretty simple. The goal is to get as close to 21 as possible without going over 21. Face cards are 10, Aces can be either 1 or 11. You start with 2 cards, and can accept another card until you choose to decline.
OK, thanks for the funny and sexy game. It will be nice to have more content, not only stripers, also the possibility to customise the player. Looking forward :-)
Thank you for the enthusiasm! :P In terms of a more customizable player character, that's something I've been thinking of. Because these are pre-rendered images, a fully customizable player character won't be possible, but I was thinking of maybe letting the player choose between three different presets. It is a fair bit more work, so I'm still on the fence, but it's definitely a possibility!
Yes, I've been hoping for a male strip poker game, after all the female ones. And this one delivers just that, and quite erotic just for a demo... Keep up the spectacular work, such a fun little romp.
This guy is just a homophobic idiot who comments on every gay game thinking his unsolicited "opinion" (which is comprised of nothing but the word nope) is somehow necessary.

Health first
Check this game every so often since I'm excited for new stuff from you, take your time with the update, I know it's gonna be a banger when it comes out. Legit 10/10 game for me,
Stay safe
Update will surely come in 2025
Maybe Fall
So what's new?
Any update on the 2nd demo's release?
Maybe next month
Nice one

I can hardly wait! You are doing a spectacular job on the game.
I think in the opening Adults Only Warning, it should say "age of MATURITY" not "age of MAJORITY."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_majority
Really luv this game. Looking forward tot more characters plz
Lovely game! Cant wait for more!! :)
still nothing new?
still no new game update, sadly 😔. But I’ll post a dev log update this weekend showing some progress and plans
Android version pls 😫
when does the next update come?
At least a couple more months. Life has been hectic this past little while 😫

thanks to you know I can play blackjack ! :D
Don’t play this way in Vegas! 😅
Do you have any plan on Patreon?
Great question! I’m not sure yet. For now I’m focussing on rewriting the poker code, improving and completing the Alan scene, and planning out the next scenes. Once I’m done with that I expect I’ll know if I feel ready to launch a Patreon.
Any muscle hairy daddies coming soon, I love those types
Is this just a porn game or will there be any romance involved?
Good question! I don't think this game will offer much romance per se but I am toying with the idea of adding bits of story to the characters (including their relationship to the Player Character).
Future games of mine will definitely have romance, though.

Oh, that's a shame... I wanted to romance Nigel so bad...
Good to know. I do have plans for some of these characters to show up in future games with romance

I'm gonna wait for Android version 😞
yes,we need Android
