Okay, bluelight said he'd make a thread here, but he hasn't yet and my game is out allready...and i can't bare sitting here any longer... i keep checking my email for sales every 5 minutes
Okay! well... Damsel quest (one) is a sidescrolling platformer with stealth elements, a princess has been kidnapped by dark forces and locked up in a castle dungeon far from her home, she escapes her cage before they decide what to do with her... now she must escape using her wits
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l109m0d55rmz271/Damsel%20Quest%20demo.exeI cant tell how long this game took me to make but it was over 2 months for sure, it started as a non hentai game about a princess who sneaks out of her own castle to meet with a lover...but the single room puzzles got too dull... so I made it a hentai game and the project was revitalised... the single screen puzzles were dropped in favour of more expansive levels
full game has 10 levels and 16 game over cgs as well as 4 game over animations, and can be purchased for £4.65 from my blog

So, you don't make game on our forums, you don't share it on our forums, you don't do anything here, but you are using our bandwidth to advertise it? Moderators remove this shit...

She's not using our banwidth because this "our" you're talking about doesn't exist. Now please sit down. However if their was this "our" you speak of, then she would be a part of it since she does have an account. This is Ren bandwith.
Ya she is selling her game here, but she isn't breaking any rules. Why can't she sell here? Also, you want to know why she doesn't post here? It's because of rude post like yours. This is one of the rudest comments i've seen to any thread.
Try the game, see if you want to spend the money. If not, ignore the thread and it will go away.
Also, please don't reply with some jack ass comment dealing with the word "free".

last time I checked, one of the main objectives of the forums is to spread creativity and get the word out about games whether they are free or not

You sound so tough blue-light. At least I don't lie about gender, derail topics, start projects and promise shit, only to quit half way through. It is an issue, because she is basically saying. Buy my game. Without ever once having linked to it in development, without ever returning things to the forum. I am privy to a lot more knowledge then you expect about LoK.

I personally approved this thread. Sharing your projects is precisely what the CC was made for.
Thank you for posting here Azure.
Edit:
To clarify: The CC is here for sharing the development of games. If the thread's creator is active and is keeping us posted with progress, I consider it to be appropriate.

Except, its advertising. Nothing was developed here, nothing bringing people to the forums. Instead it says, buy my game elsewhere...

After being in the forum for a long time, I've found that projects where the developers interact with readers on the forum even on projects being produced elsewhere bring in new members in a lot of cases. On the other hand, projects that request payment are typically not supported in the forum, typically losing member interest and falling off the front page.
If this really brings nobody to the forums, then c'est la vie, maybe I'll learn something from it. If it brings in new members, then I'll learn a different lesson.

cheers zeus, I'm living on a time limit here, need to be making enough money to live by next year when i finish university...
I'm also taking a note out of crowdsourcing projects and adding stretch goals, so the people of the forum can still contribute to what they'd like to see added to the game
the poll for the first stretch goal of 500 sales is still active on my blog, but im still open to suggestions,
my ideas were; adding text to game overs or adding an arcade mode featuring the shooter stage, because it would be fun to get to play around with it more...
also at 1300 sales im planning on adding a mini game homage to jungle girl featuring our princess here

I'm testing the demo and I really like it so far. (It also contains more free gameplay than many of the often self-dying projects that get posted here, mind you). It's nice to see a game that has nice, hot hentai and still good gameplay. The pricing also seems quite reasonable.
Now for some hopefully constructive critisism:
*I would like more checkpoints. It is very frustrating to replay the same sequence many times bacause something tricky followed it before you could get to a checkpoint.
*I like that you quickly can restart when captured. If the game engine allows it, it would be nice to skip the screen scrolling to get to a checkpoint, though.
*Fullscreen mode would also be nice if the engine allows.
*The help screen is buggy.

gumroad just suspended my account because they copped out of allowing adult content
"Hi,
My name is Jake and I work on payments, risk, and compliance at Gumroad.
Unfortunately, our policy of selling adult content on Gumroad has recently come under scrutiny. We're a small, early company and we have to stay on the safe side in terms of the things that we allow on our platform. As we work with banks and other partners, we have to be pretty conservative, as they are. Because of this we are going to have to suspend your account later this week.
Hopefully our short terms losses lead to long term gains and we become a really good fit for you again.
Best,
the Gumroad team."
so now i only have exploiting loopholes in paypals ToS and pray they don't catch me (though kyrieru is still in business), and dlsite when curious factory pull their head out their ass and learn to play games properly

OOOH FULL SCREEN IS F4, IT'S STANDARD FOR GAME MAKER GAMES...so i forgot to mention it
and how specifically is it bugged?
so far i've had 2/57 people who bough the game say the unlock.ini doesnt work for them, im still waiting for details from them so i can possibly fix that...
my theory is their pc's changing the file somehow...on the mothers laptop it removed the ini part so game maker wouldnt locate it, so i had to edit a different ini

I, for one, am glad to see an indie project taking off. Maybe this can help inspire indie developers to actually try to market their works. I know a lot of projects would actually be complete if their teams knew they'd be getting something out of it. This job ain't easy and in spite of all the (almost expected) criticism, it's no wonder ppl quit before halfway through. I can't count how many times I've quit something just because of all the negative feedback. I gotta say congratulations to Azure and expect my purchase on payday.
