Wow, many comments! We'll try to answer the main questions
Totemist Wrote:Is there any chance we can get dialogue options from the start, or maybe a few different characters with different personalities? Because as the dialogue stands I keep getting distracted from the dating sim bits by my raging desire to reach through the screen and rip the player characters spine out through his utterly insufferable face.
Aside from that and some minor grammar errors (I'd be more than happy to help with that and writing if you like), it looks like it has great promise, and the art is good. Keep it up!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I do love me some Human X Furry action, so this is my jam.
We were considering the possibility of adding different difficulties, but it would take some time that, and right now, we prefer to dedicate our time developing the story. So, it's not a "no, you won't see that option on our game", it's more like a "we're not thinking about it right now, but it's a possibility"
About the grammar errors, in every update we're trying to fix as many as we find. We currently have two proofreaders, and we think they are doing a good work, but it's possible that some errors are not still fixed.
WingsofChange Wrote:Before I even start on what I was going to say on this post I have to say this. Great job on making this game to all the Tai team you're really making trying to make a patreon flash game like an old school AAA title; that cared about quality and quantity and not trying to make money like every game these days.
Ok for the actual things I need to say here, I need a little help on the Allison ending I can't even get into the diary room and everytime i try to build the relationship status with her i keep getting the same dialogue "must visit atleast 3 planets". Do I need to like reach a certin day or something? Also do you guys plan on releasing old versions of walkthroughs for unpatreons in the future while patreons will still get the current edition like non patreons will get walkthrough v 0.10 while patreons would get v 0.42.
Thanks for your words!
About the walkthrough, we told someone on NG. Our walkthroughs are a reward for our patrons, those that are making possible the development of the game and that thousands of players around the world enjoy Space Paws. So, we prefer not to share that reward. But, if someone is interested, if you search on Google for Space Paws, one of the most searched results is "Space Paws guide", "Space Paws easter Egg". If someone decides to make a public walkthrough on their blog, will recieve a lot of visits...and we'll be very happy with that

I agree with Kumokumo and Totemist that the main character is fairly annoying. Feels quite immature and very "OMG BOOBIEZ!"
Also, I liked the old interface more. *shrug*
Thanks! We're trying that the updates are worth it
The old interface has a bigger font. In our opinion, it was too big and we replaced it for a more simple and tiny one. The problem is that, if you play the game on fullscreen, the new font has a good size, but on online versions, the old font was more comfortable to read. Well, at this point, we're making a PC flash game, not an online game. We always recommend and will recommend to play the downloadable versions of the game.

Yea i can only speak for myself in this regard as i'm sure others feel differently, but i feel like few people can get away with the "OMG BOOBIEZ" personality if it's used in a serious regard. Like for games like Elana Champion of Lust and GoRepeat's SnT universe, they get away with it because it's used for humorous and explainable character quirks that aid with the story. THAT SAID: There are moments where as much as i hate his blatant perversion, i feel like it adds more to the game as it goes on. I didn't appreciate it at first, but i came to realize that if he's an upstanding, charming person all the time then there would be no character growth. The fact that he is a womanizing douchebag to start actually gives him room to grow as a person, like with the Rosalyn ending. Plus that change also adds to the feel that (since he awoke with amnesia) he's slowly re-discovering himself. All i can say is, though it's annoying at times, i think it's a somewhat important element that can adds a bit to the game (whether taifun intended for that or not). But again your game, your rules. If thats how you want him that keep it as is, or if you feel some changes are in order, that's your right as the creator and if someone has a problem with it, they can make their own furry game lol.
About the main character, kumokumo made a point.
We don't want a main character without personality, neutral. We wanted a character with a strong personality, and a story (even though he can't remember many things...). This makes possible the change, and depending on the planet/girl you choose, this change will be different. But, the most important thing is that, the "real" ending of the Space Paws' story will be the one with Alison. If you decide to live with Roselyn, or Nebet, you're choosing to start a new life, a new future and forget the past. With Alison you're trying to remember your past to continue with the human existence. These are personal choices of the player/main character.
Anyway, the game and the plot is incomplete, so we can only ask you for patience. In the end, all the pieces will fit.
