Status update: Discord, Collab, Q&A, and Poll
🕑 Added 2020-05-05 04:59:58 +0000 UTCHi Everyone! Hope all of you and your families are well! Time for a status update. (Main important stuff is bolded so you can skim. Hope it's been helping in recent posts for those that don't like to read!)
Thank to everyone who has filled out the feedback poll for me! (30 people so far). If you haven't done so and would like to. You can fill it out here: Feedback poll
Also thank you all for the kind and encouraging comments in it! I didn't expect any really but I'm surprised by how many there were and it is really encouraging! I'll cover some of the poll stuff in this update and also a Q&A section down bottom for the rest.
There is a new Discord server. It should have automatically added everyone and will auto assign you roles based on your tier. I'm looking to get custom emotes of Tsumi/Kiyomi/Yui for it at some point, and if there's more people active I'll look at getting a leveling system/self assigned roles (Tiny/Giantess/GSim Fan) etc. If you haven't got an invite/didn't auto get added then let me know and I'll send an invite. Please note: While it is an open friendly joking server. We are all people that share a love of fantasies, so treat others with respect regardless of gender, and how you wish to be treated. I won't tolerate stalkers, forced RP/trying to get people to say what you want to hear etc.
Beatrice Giganta Collaboration/Commission. This was a late thing to start but it should be finished/finished without voicelines this month. But it turns out Cruel Spanish Giantess Beatrice Giganta is a massive (pun intended) fan of Tsumi Umi and I love her work as she does it out of passion and love, not fake for just money like most people. I reached out to her when I noticed her name in Patreons and after a quick chat, we decided we want to do a collaboration (aka she went full fan girly and is still squealing for the past few days) where I'll do a commission for her as herself in Tsumi Umi. And in return she'll provide all the voice lines for it free of charge. Because of my schedule it will mostly be copy/paste code with changes, but so far it'll be looking to be a cross between VIP sushi microkins and the family sushi pack with some options. The entire collab is based on her likes and loves of the fetish and will start from sushi to... well... she loves being extremely cruel and she plays with the dirty filter off. There will be things said and done that I would never dare send to Tsumi's voice actress. There will be a filter for her content of course so you can enjoy it like the rest of the game as normal. But this event might be the one time only I will touch what I consider extreme content. I'm looking to wrap up this whole collab in a week hopefully but it is bigger than a normal commission for me. If I disappear/you see me dead in the news, it's because I said she was fan girling.
Poll stuff / Q&A:
- 68% of players (who voted) play with every filter off, 16% toggle it for their content which I didn't separate. This is a similar result from the poll back in Feb except with less people who have voted so far. I am guessing that fart related content is what is toggled because obviously it is a separate thing from the rest. I just had to bunch it together in one massive filter at the time of creation. If you toggle the filter, please let me know for which content (PM/Discord/Post below wherever you're comfortable with) and I'll see what I can do if anything and for future content also with it.
- 64% Want me to work on both existing/new/whatever I feel to do, 26% on making new only, and the rest for old content. I guess I'm doing a good job working on what I feel to do and updating the previous assets so there's a good standard to the game. I'll still do new stuff when I feel to and can.
- Artwork by different artists. Only 1 person has mentioned it is very off putting for them.
- Cutscene/Game over scenarios are tied with not minding if I spend time making gameplay events. Only 2 people want me to focus on events still. In the coming months I was going to focus on making more cutscene/story line things anyhow as I know there has been a massive focus on events lately that.. don't really tell a short story.
- Discord was created as 60% said to make one. I'm still learning to use it too.
- 32% of you feel the content I provide monthly is worth more than $5 (thank you!!!). I do get some people might be afraid that I'd start slacking off if this was high so voted $5 is enough. But I'm not like that, and try to be as open and transparent as I can. At times unfortunately I might not be able to get a planned update out that month due to circumstances.
- Giga Simulator (Stomp game), this is at 1/3rd each evenly nearly on if I should/don't mind if I make/you wouldn't play it. Technically it's as 66% saying yes to make it. I will probably go ahead and make this, but don't worry if you are into vore only as I will still make updates for Tsumi monthly. I will probably need a months break for June but I will still get in a small update for Tsumi of one or 2 game overs probably. Sadly this lockdown is making my stress go up as I can't wind down at the beach or get a massage done.
- Ascendance. This one's a bit iffy because there's not much vore (no main vore event made yet). But it is good to know most people enjoy it or are going to play it. The remake is actually going to make me include more sexualized content for it (with filter) and this also includes vore events which I just didn't get time to sneak in the preview. The existing preview took me 1-1.5mths to make and while it was mostly a foot person game, there was always a plan for more vore along side, so don't worry! Also the majority of you have some issues/severe hate for RPG battles so Yui will most likely be in as an OP as hell battler. I'll still try make it fun however as I get bored if games are too easy too! But maybe it's because you guys just want to end battles and skip to the fetish content >_>
Other feedback comments from Poll / Q&A continued:
- Thank you all for the nice and motivational comments!
- "Dogs are great but cats are better." < Whoever said this, do we need to start a witch hunt to find and fluff you? XD I agree but I wish I could own a German Shepherd puppy!
- Piracy: Piracy will always happen I know, but I am looking at doing content for as long as I can and just hope it picks up so I can actually make a living from what I do. When I get enough income I want to put out weekly artistic commissions while working on games at the same time.
- Even though I made Tsumi Umi for guys rather than girls in mind like the rest of my games (there are not enough games for girls to imagine themselves as a gts) yes, I'm surprised there's quite a few girls who like Tsumi Umi for different reasons. I just hope it's something people enjoy!
- Ssshhh 'Hanataro'. Or I'll feed you to Chitsu! XD
- Lack of Save Crystals/Gallery: When I design games, I brainstorm them over a week or 2 and write every idea in a notepad. When I go to plan them I take the ideas and base the game around it. The reason there is only 1 save crystal and no gallery (auto teleport to events) in Tsumi is because it was based around the idea that gameplay would be the player completing each day in Tsumi and saving at home. If I had made it in a way where players would just reload every single time from the overworld in front of their fav event. Then they would NEVER know or find out that certain events and things change every day. There wouldn't have been much of a point to randomness or making the world seem more livable and just be another rpg game. The way events were also built means it's a lot of work to even make a gallery to them unfortunately. I would've liked to make a list that is unlockable if you played an event but I use over 1000 variables/switches/common events etc that are all triggered or altered at different places or from certain maps. Too many for me to track, and at the end of events it'd be a bit weird. One thing I would like to mention, it may look like I'm a bastard for giving extra save crystals/money to $10+ Patreons (I hate game studios that do this with dlc or cut content too), but the only reason I have that is because there were A LOT of people who supported me for more than $10 a month. I felt guilty that I had nothing to give them and after a lot of fighting I decided to do this as a tier reward out of thanks for them. Not for me to make it something to get more money off.
- Lack of Sexual content: I do agree there should be more sexual content (Vagina/Anal etc), but like most creators our motivation comes from what interests we have. I'm actually what people used to call back in the day "a pure voraphile". Sex etc isn't an interest at all for me unless it's snuggling and making sure she know's she's as loved as much as possible. This is why there's been a lack, and because I work on so much content that I am not into (feet/stomp/fart/mega/giga/city destruction/goddess/growth/'yes goddess talk', unaware etc etc), I tended to not think about it because it's a very taboo and close intimate thing I would only share with my lover. I am however trying to change that and focus on making the first vaginal event something awesome. My artist still hasn't done the finger asset for it argh!!!!! Also I know on the chinese gts websites that they wish I did unbirth etc a lot more and there is a huge market, but it's hard for me to make content I never really looked up or into and why I ask so many questions on them when I plan. There should be more in future and probably with Ascendance. I keep forgetting butt crush is a thing that exists also despite having the asset >_<
- Dirty VIP lines: I am sorry about not making these lines toggle-able like the normal ones, the code is so ridiculously long for the normal lines already because of the toggles, that I'm not sure how much the event can handle as it had started to bug out on me at times and crash during testing.. or it did random stuff instead. If you did want certain dirty content separated, please do let me know as mentioned before so I can get a good idea. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure what dirty VIP lines would want to be toggled if it was for anything different from fart related.
- Lack of fetish choice in poll: Aka why don't I make content people ask me to. While I am aware I can look like a cunt for this, the reason I actually don't do content people suggest or give me advice for.. Is actually because I don't have the time to do them more than anything. I created the Commission tier because I actually get A LOT of pm's for discussion about peoples ideas/scenarios/deepest fantasies etc. I'm not pushing people to the side by not listening or not doing something I'm not in to (obviously I do a lot of stuff I'm not into), but I get sidetracked or I get asked to read a lot of full scenarios that distract me from focusing on the update I try to get out each month. The way I work is by planning each month in my mind and thinking how long will one take, do I have to wait for my artist/voice actress/how does it tie into x code that I haven't touched in months etc. This is why I ask everyone who has custom NPCs/lines/commission requests to tell me their full idea in one go towards the end of the month so I can focus on all of them at once. I'm sorry if I seem like I have been pushing people away/not seeming interested, but it's the only way for me to actually get updates out on time as much as I can now. I'm an easy person to get distracted. Even people who have told me ideas (even extreme ones sometimes) that I said I can't do, I do take parts of them as an idea for something different. The table dinner event, gentle foot stomp, cookie micros, battles all take parts of what people have suggested in the past.
And I made another wall of text again >_> Anyway, I've got to get back to it and it's a lot to do! Come say hi on discord if you have it as I'll usually be in there from now on while I'm working.

Joey gave you a cookie for joining (official cookie distributor), he's also sad that you never saw it! XD

While more save crystals would be great it’s not a big deal honestly, only a minor inconvenience. The VIP lines is understandable, I’m sure many people here have completely different preferences! Personally I’m not much into fart lines but on the other hand I love the other vip responses. Teasing of the end result after vore is always great. I’ll see if I can join the discord also!

I don't know who that "Beatrice Giganta" girl will be but it seems like the best collaboration in the world. Very good very complete and informative post ^^!
