How can we improve?
Added 2018-05-28 02:25:57 +0000 UTCHey guys,
First of all and as always, thank you so much for your continued support and for believing in Heaven Studios and Fleeting Iris.
For a while I also played a lot of Patreon games, and bar a couple, I always end up losing interest because they became stale or the updates were short and too far in between. It felt like I was waiting 1 month to play for 10 minutes and go back to playing the waiting game again. I don't want that to happen with Fleeting Iris which is way we've decided to do more substantial patches every month and a half / two months (and because it's much harder to keep up with the pace doing a drawn art game than a 3D rendering one).
Do you guys think we're doing a good job? What do you think we could improve upon? Is there something you were looking forward for us to do and then we went somewhere completely different? Is there something you'd like to see us do more? Is the writing good or you just skip it most of the times?
All feedback will be as usual extremely appreciated! Asks us questions, we will do our best to answer them all and reveal more about the future of the game. We just want to make sure we do the very best game we could possibly can, and we keep Fleeting Iris an exciting game for you guys to play and look forward for every patch time and time again.
Again, thank you so much for the support and for believing in us for so long. It means the world.

The games I enjoy best have lots of places to go and tons of side quests so you don't feel railroaded. Hopefully your game will live up to that. Personally I like blackmail and humiliation where the character grows to slowly like what they're being made to do.

2018-06-28 00:39:34 +0000 UTCThere's already full tan in the game. NTR is progressing. We already have a few hairdos in the game, will have a blonde wig part but won't have an actual cut, neither are dyes. Most scenes like that will be available when Ayame's morale is lower.

2018-05-30 16:35:22 +0000 UTCGive one an option over the tan degree. I personaly dislike the halve done way it is now (with spots that are still white). Full brown is the way to go. An option to change this would be most apriciated from my side and i guess others feel the same way. For later on this would add a nice touch (as well as having this from start would also be nice). Second is the degree of NTR contend atm. Shure its still unfinished yet the melvin route could use some sub events and some expansion. For example have melvin come over for dinner and sit right next to ayame and do stuff with her wile her husband in spe is siting with them at the table (or other stuff to happen while she could be discoverd easily) third would not be for me as i somewhat dislike it, but there are plenty people who would love to see haircut options. For me personaly it would be long black and ofc. twintail black only. Yet there could be aditional ones for example giving her short hair because she wanted a change in style. As well as changable hair dye to add some degree of customisation. Oh and ofc. some generic CG to let her do stuff that we can chose, for example if she is slutty enogh have her fuck in back alley's for money or give them blowjobs/go to the wrong rest room wile she is away with her husband. This could also used to increase her lewdness.

2018-05-30 12:27:15 +0000 UTCA huge map with almost not content , How about put mini events with generics CG or animations , that way add a rpg feeling to the game .

2018-05-29 15:43:38 +0000 UTCi was thinking of something along the same lines, but couldnt think of a way to word it. reusing some of the harassment/ early h scenes with different dialogue/ facial expressions would made the route feel less rushed and could help show the corruption happen gradually rather then abruptly. I also think Arthurs h scenes happen really fast, especially since it happens right after she fights back against Melvin.

2018-05-29 04:02:43 +0000 UTCI love Melvin's route, but I bums me out that it starts, escalates and then ends. I would LOVE to reach a point where it doesn't end, but you are floating in a state of heavy corruption. I think a lot of small repeatable scene in the pub would really add a lot of value and make me want to constantly come back to the game. It could be some sex or blowjob scenes, but it can be as mundane as groping, harassment, crude comments, rude customers, or some flashing. Maybe later on Melvin convinces you or you decide to stop wearing underwear or start wearing skimpier clothes. If it were me, I might add a "obedience" stat that goes up or down from your decisions in these scenes. If it reaches 100%, then you might trigger the ending. But, better scenes or more money or blackmail might give you an incentive to agree. Also, I really loved a mechanic in a Combi Nation game called Green Rachel. You were a super heroine and had to hide your identity, but sometimes you were exposed and blackmailed. It would be a really cool metagame, where you can to manage your fiance's suspicion of you, either through avoiding or complying with blackmail or by agreeing and refusing scenes. What do you think?

2018-05-29 01:23:46 +0000 UTCI would advise against voice acting. It would only make scenes take longer to make, and people want more scenes. Plus, it might be jarring for people who already have their own imagination on what the voices are. I just don't see it being worth the money. It's like spending money to slow down development.
acac
2018-05-29 01:15:11 +0000 UTCI 2nd what Psycho is saying...and agree you kinda have to get to the content..or you run out of support. Even small non animated events that show her morals becoming lax would be cool. I don't know what kinda of involvement is needed to employee mundane tasks that would allow some players to delay the fall a bit.

2018-05-28 23:21:31 +0000 UTCYeah... That's my biggest problem. I'm also not happy with how quickly everything develops but given when the game started we needed backers to keep working on the project we needed to come up with results (hentai scenes) fast, and so I tried to delay it as much as possible. We're adding more days without sex going on in the next patch.

2018-05-28 23:01:36 +0000 UTCOkay, do i just came up with something. Everything I said still stands but I have one tiny constructive criticism based on something someone else said: a lot of the routes for Ayame are dark/too much corruption. I don't know maybe one route that ends somewhat happier like the Clark or maybe with the coworker from the bar that's it. Just spitballing
CharDucks
2018-05-28 21:00:52 +0000 UTCIt might be just me, but I wish the corruption or at least how fast Ayame changes is a bit slower. Haven't played the game in a little while but it seems it just takes 2 weeks for her character to change in most routes. Overall, I love the game and I look forward to what games you guys do next.

2018-05-28 19:39:20 +0000 UTCWell, there's a FAQ in the game folder. Sadly, Patreon doesn't allow us to pin posts so they always stay on top. As soon as Patreon allows us to do that we'll do one!
Heaven Studios
2018-05-28 19:11:58 +0000 UTCWe're working on a great map and walkthrough for the next patch. 100% sure it's coming out now that the base structure is complete. Also, the game will have up to 150 hentai scenes (with over 90% being unique CG's) before it's complete. It'll be one of the biggest in the genre (if not the biggest?)
Heaven Studios
2018-05-28 19:11:06 +0000 UTCThe dog is just two minor scenes in a DLC. You won't even notice it, you don't have to install it and it's pretty much avoidable. It will come out at the same time as the "shota" DLC. Both of which you'll be able to get for free in our website and won't cause any delays on the main strategy. Shortly after those we will have the beginning of the next game.
Heaven Studios
2018-05-28 19:09:21 +0000 UTCWe already did a lot for the "re-load a save" for most routes. The voice actress I explained above why we don't have it YET. As for letting us pick the clothes for the main character, it's just a ridiculous amount of work and not feasible considering she has like 30 costumes to pick from so it would create a lot more work for the CG team and cause delays in the patches.

2018-05-28 19:07:00 +0000 UTCBetter game, money is just a necessity.
Heaven Studios
2018-05-28 15:32:26 +0000 UTCWe didn't have many planned for this specific game. The second game will have A LOT of it but we are already discussing how we can add such elements to this game.
Heaven Studios
2018-05-28 15:31:01 +0000 UTCThe word is.......what do you mean by improving? Creating a better game or make more money? If you want to make more money, you have to at least review your patreon policy......and your marketing....see dark cookie or insexity........... As for the game.......i believe that is already good.....your project is valuable and interestig...... The next step sure are animation and voice acting as well as leaving RPG maker ....just use another engine.... That s it :) Ah eh.....whats turns the tides most are ideas and luck of course ;)

2018-05-28 12:53:17 +0000 UTCIf I had to think of something that bothered me about the game then it would be how linear the gameplay is. There doesn't seem to a lot of aspects about it that feels like a game. There isn't a way to really win or lose. There doesn't seem to be many obstacles or mini games, it's just a matter of knowing where to trigger scenes. I understand if you're not intending to add tedious things like fetch quests across town and such, but are there going to be elements of a classic rpg in the future?

2018-05-28 12:40:07 +0000 UTCGame seems great the way its heading. I'm looking forward to seeing how Clarke's route plays out especially. All I can think of is maybe add an FAQ to the overview page.
Zastinx
2018-05-28 09:17:25 +0000 UTCGame is awesome, just please make it brimming with H-Scenes. The only problem that I had before honestly was two fold, lack of walk-through or making it more evident where I could find more scenes and a huge map that I had trouble navigating. And I believe you are starting to attack those two things.

2018-05-28 05:33:11 +0000 UTCas someone who been playing hentai games for 7 years. You guys do a great job. Most RPG game i've played over the years don't come close to your wonderful game. It does lack in some areas which can be fix easily. but the question is, what area? When I first played this game. i did enjoyed it and hated at the same time due to the ending which make you renew another save file. by that i mean start a new save file. It be great if you add some moaning to the game. Haven't found any glitches/bugs so far. Voice over for the character be good, beside just the moan. Maybe let the player dress up the fc. add a clothing store.

2018-05-28 04:37:48 +0000 UTCWhat causes me to usually lose interest in other things that I support is both the feature and the bug of Patreon entirely. A promising game is being made, I back it, it gets more well known and now the direction changes because the backers have changed. Now it gets packed full of monsters and bestiality. The project starts to move away from what got me interested in the first place. So far this project hasn't gone off the rails, for my tastes at least. I understand that developers have to go where the money is so I can't begrudge anyone for doing so. I know that at some point the dog is going to have his fun but that will just be a drop in the overall bucket. So honestly, it's just keep up the communication on what's going on and what the direction is. Clarity in vision attracts new blood and assures every backer that they know exactly what they'll keep getting.

Heaven Studios
2018-05-28 02:49:04 +0000 UTCSince the game script is always changing and we're always improving on the hentai scenes (past ones) and dialogue, character building and what not we've decided to leave that for after 1.0. If possible we want to have voice acting for all main characters at least, optional on all our games.
Heaven Studios
2018-05-28 02:47:41 +0000 UTCI don’t know add more voice acting? I love the game how it is but Ik there is some voice acting but add more ? Makes it feel more real idk , the people who play it could just turn it off, that’s just my thoughts
Josue
2018-05-28 02:39:49 +0000 UTCI honestly don't know how. I've enjoyed your game. Hopefully, someone comes up with something. I'm actually considering upping my contribution and will likely stay on for the games after Fleeting Iris. Keep up the good work.
