Status update Episode 7

Ok I can’t understand why anyone would hate the creator of this masterpiece - maybe they’re young and don’t know any better. As I have said above this is a great piece of work ; character development, various story arcs , renders , music and layout are all as good - if not better than anything else out there - some other games have great writing but this raises the bar significantly - keep up the good work! ( psst .. save Melissa 😫 )

Keep in the direction you are going!

Disgusting that people would stoop to insults and threats over story choices in your game, but on the other hand it shows how invested people are in your characters. Acting Lessons is definitely a level above anything else out there in terms of immersion and range of emotions. It's by far my favorite so far, and I have no doubt future chapters will continue to be top notch!!

No one enjoys pain or loss, but it's an everyday thing that happens, which you must learn to cope with to stay alive and not crumble. I understand that most may not want it in their forms of entertainment, often used to escape real life, but there are many who want a good story and those loaded topics definitely makes for one.

DrPinkCake

This game is about physical pain, emotional pain, and loss. First it is the MC, then Megan, then Melissa, then Liam, then Rena ... and on and on. Normal people do not enjoy pain and loss.

Prometheus

I understand, both decisions are good choices. We miss having you around though. See you soon again, I hope. Cheers

DrPinkCake

Dont worry about that. The hard part for the players is find a solid story in this world of adult games. And you can make a real great game whit a real story. (Sorry for my inglish. You're doing great! Saludos desde Argentina!)

Thank you very much! I have a lot more in store, you'd have to actively avoid me. ^^

DrPinkCake

You've created a wonderful game that satisfies more than just lust over what anyone would expect from adult themed visual novels. I've only played a handful of these games, but yours will be one I will fondly remember for the all the fun, joyful, and even tragic (some ambivalent mixture of these) emotions you've been able to draw from me with your fantastic characters and immersive storytelling. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to experience this game, and eagerly look forward to what more you have in store! TL;DR You're doing great! Keep up the wonderful work!

F*cking hell that ending gutted me hard, I was sitting here laughing at one moment at the jokes Liam and ''I'' shared and then you move to that.. f*ck man, because of my choices in the previous episodes so did I have to go with Melissa... But damn, that is one of the hardest choices I have ever taken in a VN... Keep on rocking, I am going to see this story through no matter what! And I am also looking forward to your next game, your storytelling is a refreshing addition to the adult VN scene, and even though you say you don't focus much on the sexual scenes, so do I have to say that you more than enough cover that in each update so I am not complaining in that regard either.

Some1Else

Can you DM me and explain what error code you get? I will compile a new mac OS version and upload it immediately, might take me 1-2 hours from now.

DrPinkCake

Don't worry about the haters. I loved the update even though it gutted me, but Liam and the MCs relationship is genuinely awesome and all the character interactions are what keep me coming back

0.6 is not activating on my macbook. I have pledged and downloaded the mac version. But when trying to open the application, it does not work.

Miss Bumhole

I'm not gonna say I feel happy about how the episode played out. Though, the reason why this game is so good is because of the emotions that it made me feel. Just this one had some bad feels in it, but feels all the same. Great game, great story, and I'm praying for a happy ending or at least some closure. If I dont get any, I expect Mr Pink to pay for my Therapy. Thanks!

Myth Oceanas

It was an amazing update, that makes me cry, give me some joy. I did know something was up when a see something in *cough*, but not this ! I'm in shock but I hope it will get better. You are a good storyteller doc !

Steele76

You really know how to hit people in the feels. It took me a good while to decide fate. The music you chose really hits you too and enforces the fact that you are screwed. Continue the great work you are doing. I can't wait to see what you do next.

For a while I was shocked and angry with how this update ended. Now I really appreciate it. A very bold move and very well done, Sir. My reaction to the end of this update reminds me of the first time I read "A song of ice and fire" (Game of Thrones) and got to the Red Wedding part. After reading a part of that, I threw the book at the wall in my living room and I didn't read any further for a couple of days. After that, I was ok with it and my respect for Mr. Martin grew. It is not fair to compare your works, but I felt the same way. Thank you for having the guts, to make a twist like this. Cheers from Denmark and keep up your amazing work (please) P.S. I didn't throw my computer at the nearest wall ;-P P.P.S F*** the haters <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKraXtNmFUQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKraXtNmFUQ</a>

There is always gonna be lashback from the emotionally stunted. Sure the dark story elements have affected me, but really that's what makes for a good story, one that makes you feel.

Erykforever

What's truly bafgling is that someone would get so wind up by a game that they threaten the dev, I can't really grasp that line of thought.. the game has been great so far and I truly hope you keep developing entertainment for us. Much love and well wishes Doc

Balvenie1401

Honestly one of the best games, due to what you write, you really feel you are part of the story, which is rare in adult VN's in my experience. Continue your good work!

Well the target demographic is, as the post states, me. It may sound arrogant, but it's the truth. I would do this game with 0 patreon support and keep this hobby regardless. It's a creative outlet for me, one that allows me to create my dream games. That said, I can see why people are disappointed in how the tone of the game has changed, but saying from day 1 that it will be a depressing journey would ruin the experience.

DrPinkCake

:D

DrPinkCake

I hate everything you've done. Why wasn't there more Leah time? How come Megan changed her hair? Why was Liam showed on his back in the crowd when he was supposed to be going face first? How could you get rid of the Liam mobile? Fix this, or I will ask for my $1 back.

Ignatz

As I have said before your writing and the artwork in this game is second to none. You definitely have a gift and I am hoping that this is the first game in what is going to be the start of something big for you. Whilst any kind of hate mail is going way too far, the only thing I will say - and this is in no way any kind of criticism - is that I would suggest the target demographic or type of people who might be playing these kind of games do so to escape the problems of everyday life and focus on the adult side of the game. We seem to have moved away from having sex with hot girls to focusing on other issues. If these issues are ones that are close to home for you and this is a creative outlet to deal with them - full power to you. All I would suggest is that maybe you do not forget the target demographic. It is hard to fap when you are crying.

Yeah!!! You go girl! ;D

Mastro91

First off, continue doing thing the way you have now, its awesomely well done, secondly if people come to you crying or hating cause the game is "Dark" or makes them go a route they didnt expect they can very well stop playing, it has happened to me before, but I wont start insulting the creator cause I dont agree with him, so please, ignore those who only wish ill upon you saying the shit they say, cause if they dont mean ill they are not very emotionally developed to understand that shitting on you wont make things better, again, thanks for doing these types of games, its rare to find these kind around.

I'm super duper not going stop playing this. This game is an emotional rollercoaster and I'm on staying on the ride till it ends. Wherever you take this story I'm with ya. It's just too good! Keep up the fantastic work.

I.W.

Haha especially those who pirated then cry that it didn't go the way they wanted.

TsundereAznGuy93

Dam that was fast LUL. Good update. I gotta say though this is what I been looking for and glad I stumble playing your game. I love how you give us the players a hard time with tough choices to make instead having it easy especially with the romances lol. I really love the journey you have taken us through so far especially those cliffhangers xd. Though in the end I hope you can give us the endings that will satisfy our heart desires :D. But "Hope is a dangerours thing" (the feels) am I right? XD Anyway enough rambling. Good job so far and keep up the good work, you deserve it :).

TsundereAznGuy93

It sucks that you are getting shit over this, threatening and what not! I would never want to be a public figure on the internet!

Reutermo

What they said ^ You've immersed us in the story and then threw that in there. We're not used to that situation. But it says so much about your writing :) keep it up.

Kevin Love

I think what made you get a lot of loud (And negative) feedback was because what you did with the latest episode just isnt done with games like this. No one expected that shocking scene. Congratulations, you've bucked trends and proved that this genre can be more than just shallow smut. I'm pretty devastated too but it's because you've immersed me in a story that I didnt expect to care so much about. Can't fault good storytelling no matter how it makes me feel. Looking forward to what happens next.

Soren the salty

Whatever people write or say, be true to your concept of this game. Too many games have been ruined by developers who never had any real concept of where their game was going, and were influenced by the whims of the noisiest of us players. Stick to your guns! This is a truly great game!

Bruce Vahl

This is your story and we are happy to feel it. Big thanks for your good work.

shamanio

Dear DrPink Cake. Your status update moved me as much as your game does. Glad to hear you are planning to tell your story the way YOU want it. I love adult games but yours is of another level. It's Art with a capital A. Keep it up and I will follow

Zootographer

Bravo!! You are doing a excellent work. Moreover who insult don't deserve your time.

flanby

Wow... It's really crazy that you get insulted over this. Just want to say i think the game is really good, keep up the good work :D
