Development Update (09.10.2021)
Added 2021-10-09 21:01:00 +0000 UTCHello, my fellow Fetish lovers!
I hope you all are doing well! Almost two weeks ago, we released the final release of Week-2 for the Standard Edition. Right now, we are working a lot on the Extended Edition of that release, but more details on that a bit later. First, I have some concerns.
Our Patreon page is how our team works. We have quite a big team, for most of us this is our only job. We had some amazing growth in 2020 that allowed us to build this team and make Fetish Locator the amazing game that it is now. Sadly, we aren't growing that fast anymore. This isn't your - our supporters - fault. You are still here with us and are helping us to make the game. Thank you! Without more growth we can’t grow the team and improve. And I really want to do so, because we have so many great things to create and share. We will be dropping some hints on those things soon. I don’t really know the reasons we aren't gaining more support like before, but it is a bit concerning. It is also disheartening to see our game get pirated immediately after release so our patrons don't even get the benefit to play it first. If you want us developing more content - please don't do that!
And now back to the Extended Edition! We will have two new amazing scenes on Day-14. One with Polly and one with Jessie. There will also be additional content in the beginning of Week-2 with a recap of Week-1 events for those who need a reminder, along with new credits and a new post credit scene - Not to mention all the sound and voice effects, the replay and CG-gallery, and, of course, a huge list of challenging achievements that would award you with a great deal of bonus content! All of that plus the translations and some minor improvements! We are aiming at the end of October to deliver it all to you! With a special gift to all our $15 supporters!
I hope you are looking forward to the next week as much as I do! Love you as much as I love Stacy, and see you soon! <3

Definitely true! Ignore the whiners who want everything for free. This game is awesome and has a great concept. Really enjoying it.

2021-10-14 20:51:06 +0000 UTCI found FL Week 1 on Steam and was immediately hooked on the Story, and after finishing it i became a Patreon of yours because i couldn't wait for what happend next in the Story. To my great surprise i discovered in the meantime that your Game, along with many other VNs and other adult themed games were no longer available in the SteamStore (I live in Germany by the way). After some research i learned that all those games were Geoblocked for my country because they were to Grafic or realistic in the depiction of adult scenes. So that could contribute to the slower growth your team is experiencing. Your Game is not available to a whole Country.

2021-10-11 14:10:37 +0000 UTCI make games for a living, have for over 20 years. One constant in all that time is a$$ hats that wont pay for something and think everything should be free. All you can do is ignore them, move on and make the best possible game you can for the people that are willing to support you. I found out about FL via a top 10 list on some random website. After reading a bunch of positive comments I thought "this rules, I'm gonna support it!". I only joined a short while ago (so your still growing!) but you have my support because I love what you guys are creating. I started finding games like FL on Steam and never really knew about Patreon or the like. I think there must be a lot more people out there like me that dont know the difference their support could make. I agree with the previous post in that a major release might help ... personally I cant wait for full week 2 extended. If there is anything Ive learned from working on games, its that "content is king" .. you need to strike a balance between improving quality, but also releasing content on a regular cadence. No matter how good the quality, people need a decent amount of content to play. Over time should the quality improve? Yea. But it cant be to the detriment of content. Im happy with FL .. just need more Lyssa!

2021-10-10 04:29:37 +0000 UTCI just became a supporter this week, so you are still growing. I will say this, not everything grows at a steady pace, there are dips and such. The best way to regain solid growth is to continue to put out great content, with that, it will pick up. With others I support that seems to be the case. Perhaps moving on to week3 will give you that boost? I noticed a big difference in quality from the animations and general look of the renders from week 1 to week 2, perhaps another such just to week 3 could also excite new supporters? I just think that blaming leaks, and then threatening them, is not a way to go about it. All the creators on here have their games available for free, that how I discovered you.

2021-10-10 00:21:29 +0000 UTCI know some games I support, are having the same problem. Some encrypt the DL process. And give different codes to open it to the various supporter levels. Then you will know which level(s) are leaking. This is a great game!
