Are we getting the Mac version released in Steam?

Having multiple versions of the game on Steam is difficult, At the moment there hasn't been enough demand for us to  invest the time in making it happen. Once the game is completed you can expect more things like this.

I just want to say that I discovered this game recently and I really enjoyed it!

I've read comments online criticizing the art and I can't tell for now, but I really hope this game won't be abandoned!

Quality Futadom games are rare so I hope this game will continue to be developped for a long time!

Not in a hurry to abandon our games, as we're currently funded by patrons to be able to make them!

We've been pretty consistently updating each month, with plans for more exciting things this year!

will cubze return to the proyect?

Cubze has said that she wants to complete her side project before returning to work with THM.

what side project?

Hi guys. When will the game be available on the Android engine? Honestly, a year has already passed and there is still nothing🤔 or you just can’t create an Android port?.

(+1)

You asked this two weeks ago, and still my answer is the same. We don't have an Apple port or an Android port. We can't sell our games on the app store, so there's not much incentive to do so. As we complete each game we will look at our options for translations, and other distribution methods / platforms, but for now we're already focused on just getting content into the game.

(-1)

Sure, it's a pity. But I wish you success in this difficult task! You'll have to reconsider your financial views on the game and put it in a drawer for now. Good luck. Thanks for the answer.

(+3)

I've never played games with RL interactions before(not to mention these silly sports and dance games) and I LOVE it! That should be a regular feature of your games, makes you unique! :)

(-1)

When i download the windows version there is nothing in the files. It won't let me extract. :(

I've double checked it, and it seems to be working okay for me, you might have to troubleshoot for zips

(-4)

At this point i'd rather just get a refund. Sorry.

(-1)

Please bring it on Android too

(-1)

Can this run on android through Joiplay?

It currently doesn't have an android port

(-1)

You understand, if you made a port for Apple, then make a port for Android. Even more fans will appear! Even more profit. I think you need money, so I beg you to reconsider and make a port to android. And for several years now you have been promising that as soon as the game is completed, only after that there will be a port!!!

We don't have an Apple port or an Android port. We can't sell our games on the app store, so there's not much incentive to do so. As we complete each game we will look at our options for translations, and other distribution methods / platforms, but for now we're already focused on just getting content into the game.

Why has not version number changed?.

Internally we use Months to track version changes, and RenPy prefers using numbered builds, but you should be able to track version by month, as each upload replaces the previous one. 

I think something's wrong with my game version. I downloaded the last update a few days after it came out, and decided to play it today. I loaded my savegame from last time, where the MC stands in front of that mirror. In the following scenes, the Gloryhole part, the game showed a few errors as if images or something were missing. Something with "JaneSucked" "Escape" and "NotMale". Then it changed scenery from Gloryhole to be brought back by Jane after trying to escape without any transmission or context, and a Game Over. I (try to) follow the Witch Route, but did not get the Transformation scene that's been announced in the September update.

Each update its best to play from a fresh save, that'll solve that error screen that you're getting in the Gloryhole section. The Witch content you can find by choosing dialogue options with the Witch's colour indicator as often as possible

Okay, I'll try it with a new savegame. And yeah, I remember the thing with the indicators, you told me a while ago when I asked for some kind of guide^^

(+1)

There should be an update out in a few days that will hopefully fix any other issues you encounter, I know there's a background display issue for the new scenes that's already fixed in next version

(1 edit)

Is there not a ESC menu to adjust volume or safe???

Pressing Escape, or using the Cog button on the quick menu bar will bring up the in-game menu.

Are you sure, because non of those are showing.

It's working on my end, so I'm not sure how to help you without images or videos. Can you post something things in the discord?

How do I unlock chastity?

Usually with a key, but that means you have to ask your keyholder really nicely.

Beg even.

(I'm really not sure what you're asking, can you elaborate)

So... how many paths are in the current game, and how much is there from every available path? I ended up in the menu again after seeing the mirror scene, a little over 20 minutes played.
I expected it to be longer to be honest.

Each of the characters has their own arc, but there's a few different routes through each one.  According to steam the average time played is 58 minutes. And we have new content being released each month, so it will be getting bigger over time.

I see. Do you have some kind of guide for the current routes?

Each of the dialogue options you are presented with in the game is colour coded by the corresponding character it'll lead you towards.

Oooh, okay :D Thanks for letting me know ^-^

How do you update the game? 

(+1)

Download the new package and extract it, then copy the saves folder across to the new folder :)

How long is the current playtime for the game ?

The average time played according to steam is 52minutes

Hello developer! Please tell me when the game will appear on Android??? Since there is no such possibility to constantly hang on the PC! It would be interesting to play it on a phone with an Android operating system!!! I would really appreciate it if you answered in the affirmative. The game is just unrealistically cool👍🏻

It's currently unlikely, it's more possibly something that we'd do once the game is complete

Love the Artwork in this game! 

However since switchting to windows 11 the game doesnt start anymore, any idea how to fix that?

(+1)

Honestly no idea, this is the first time I've heard of this problem. I recommend looking up help threads about other RenPy games that have the same problem

any new art in this update bc i couldnt find any?

(+1)

This is a dialogue focused update because we're trying to bring the interactivity with the story higher, so that you have more control over which story path you're traveling down.

(+3)

At first I was disappointed you barely get introduced to the potential mistresses (v 0.5). Then I realized it's actually a brilliant metatextual narrative about being teased and denied like the player character would be. It's not what I wanted but it is what I deserved.

(+4)

11 dollars for a game that receives a minute of content for each update? ._

(+4)

The Valentines update is shorter in content because it was focused around the BishoujoMom collab, so it had to overlap with that instead of our schedule.
The high quality art takes time to add to the game, and we have only the one artist, and we didn't want to be padding the game with tonnes of reused images and drawn out text.

Supporting the game means that we can focus more on the game instead of our survival jobs, and be able to create the content that we want to be able to deliver to you. We also very regularly put the game on sale, like our Valentines day Steam sale that was this month, for half price for exactly the kind of person that doesn't think the game is worth it's price tag but forgets that it means they'll own it forever and will get to see it complete at the same price.

update this month? or next?

There will be an update this month

I see you have a Mac version on Itch - any chance to get one on Steam, too? (The Steam version is Windows-only ATM.)

(+2)

the back end for Steam makes it incredibly difficult to have versions for multiple platforms, (or do anything really) and because the number of mac users is relatively small, it's been easier to just have it on itch.io until there's really enough demand to have to go through and do it. Same goes for an android port.

(-2)

Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy...

(+3)(-1)

Not really, we can see the number of sales for Mac copies on itch.io, and it is less than 5% overall sales.

(+2)

11 dollars spent but the game took me under 15 minutes to get through, will there be updates to actually add more content soon? it seems so short for how much it costs

(+1)

More content coming soon!

The high quality art takes a long time to make, but we have exciting things in the pipeline!

alright, sorr if I came off as aggressive in the first post - look forward to future updates!

(+1)

what happen this month update ?

(+1)

December is a tough month to get anything happening, We're hoping to get something out in the next week or so.

amber and ellie both separate twitter profile link please

Ellie just uses the THM account:  https://twitter.com/twohotmilfs

Amber is Cubze: https://twitter.com/OCubze

(+1)

what has happend?

what you mean?

(+1)

its just that i haven't seen an update in a while

Yeah December is a tough month to get anything happening, we're hoping to get something out soon!

new update today?

(+1)

more towards the end of the month, because of the delay last month, our regular rhythm has us now looking at week 3 releases

(+1)

I feel like the game need more images to rightfully present what's happening, because sheer monologues/dialogues doesn't suffice that. Also scene animations are desperately needed in this game, but it's in the early development, so I hope they are on a list of future features. All and all, I totally love the art style, the story and the most of all, I love futa on male!  The only shame is, that the game is not for free, because if it would, it could reach more people and more potential patreons

(+3)

Animations are on the list of future features 100%

If you support our Patreon for a single month you get the game 50% off basically. The Patreon 5$ gets you access to the game, but it's our hope that after playing it you'd want to stick around and support us.

If you buy on Itch / Steam / Gumroad you pay 10$ and have the game and every single update that comes out with it for life at no extra cost.

Making it free would only give it access to people that had no intention of supporting us in the first place in my opinion. We can't make the game free while it's in development because we can't afford the development costs without the support of our fans, however in the future once the game is completed there's an argument for it becoming free as a means of promoting other games in the series.

I'm glad to hear about animations! As of other things, it's hard to tell in advance, if the game is any good, so giving it not for free, you basically building a wall around your game, in my opinion. Nevertheless, people will find your game online for free, if they really want to, bypass your paywall and ignore patreon entirely.

The main argument here is, if the game is really good, especially if it's free, people will donate/subscribe to support the further development. Of course, if this is working for you this way, then by all means continue, but you can think about free demo at least

(+1)(-5)

Love the art style but futa on male just isnt for me.
Hope for an option to play as a female mc in the future.

(+3)

This game is going to only be Futa on Male, but we'll be making other games in this series that will explore more options!

(+5)

I love futa on male keep doing what ur doing, ur audience is out there...im one of them

(-4)

I totally agree
arts is amazing but i hate futa

Think this game will ever be on Android?( sorry if this was already asked)

At the moment there's no plans for a mobile version, as we can't put it on mobile stores, it would be something that would just be for patrons, and we're not at a place to devote the time and money to build a mobile version, sorry!

Will the game be full Futa on Male

or there will be Male on Futa scenes debating on your actions?

when new update come today?

Soon :)

(+1)

The Scenes are animated?

(+1)

Not yet, it's still early in the project, we're trying to get a framework of story content in before upgrading the images to animations.

If there’s another place to report bugs I can do it there also, but I can’t get past the scene that loads when the game launches. Space bar, Enter, clicking, holding Ctrl to skip, using either launcher exe, deleting the “persistent” file from the saves folder, nothing helps. It always skips back to the starting scene of Robin asking the first question. Also right click does not bring up the common pause menu.

Can you provide a video of what's going on for us?  Sending it in over on discord would be super helpful!

https://discord.gg/kNKAtGmT

so late to replying to this, completely missed my notifications. discord link expired. I’ll get a recording somehow or stream video once I’m in the discord.

Hi there I'm another artist and would love to help out on the game, how can i help out?

(+1)

We appreciate you reaching out!
The best help you can be is to draw fanart, and help promote the game on twitter and places like that. If the game is doing well, then we're able to look at growing our team!

Nice game so far, but short. When can we expect an update?
Also I happen to test the Vision impared mode and the voice is hard to understand. I think it trys to read french although the game was in English.

Our goal is to release new content in week one of each month!

As for the vision impaired mode, it's something baked into the game's engine, and comes as default, we haven't had it on our list of things to do yet, so I imagine it doesn't work very well

when new update coming?

Our goal is to release new content in week one of each month!

I was just wondering if those who have purchased the game on here would be able to get a steam key if they were interested in one

Not through itch, only through Patreon are we offering  steam keys.

(1 edit)

Gotcha i was juat curious. I look forward to seeing the game progress!

Is there a download version for patreon?

Patreon does have a version of the game available, all released versions at this exact moment are all V0.1

It's a futa only game, it's the core of the story and the characters
