Trailer - Uncensored
Added 2018-07-07 20:16:36 +0000 UTCHey guys!
Wow! What a start! We'll post about our first few days here on patreon soon (wtf just happened??) and start showing some Patreon exclusive content over this week. However, we wanted to start by sharing the uncensored version of the trailer (we are guessing most of you saw the YouTube version). https://vimeo.com/278166910

It's important to say something about the trailer and things we share in general: All the scenes in the trailer are in-game recordings. We hate it when people show "just" cool trailer with no connection to the game, so apart from being edited in a nice way - all the shots are actual in-game shots you'll get to play and already exist.
We also have a small question to you guys - a lot of people have asked us over the last few days for a public demo... We are must admit this took us by a bit of a surprise (I mean the amount of people, not the fact itself). What are your guys thoughts about public builds? I know it's common, but we feel this can someone "harm" patrons (who are our first priority) if the public build is not different enough from the Patreon version. We are somewhat debated and would love to hear your thoughts and advice, if you have any :).

We are thinking a lot about the option of playing a more sub-oriented role. I really like the idea itself, but it's hard to figure out how to do this, without completely doubling the scope of the game so trying to find solutions. This idea is super (like suuuperrrr) cool, but programming wise, might be very complicated and have us longer to develop, something we want to avoid so that you guys don't need to wait forever for the game :)

2018-08-02 09:10:16 +0000 UTCI suppose the demo model might be 'observer only'. You can walk around and look, but can't interact. That should be enough to let people get the idea.

2018-08-02 01:50:15 +0000 UTCHmm, I might have a demo version where you start as a 'curious slave'. You don't own any slaves yourself, you don't have any money, you aren't allowed to carry or use weapons, and you are treated as a slave by the other Patreons. This gives you the opportunity to look around and experience the game, but certainly also the incentive to start becoming a paying patreon. Keep in mind that there are some people who may actually want to be slaves. I am assuming all of the slaves currently in game are computer characters. It might change it a little to have the option to play as a slave as well. You could also start as a slave, (on the demo version) then work your way to the status of 'Freed man'. I would assume you could do this as an unowned (player) slave, doing the missions. You would accumulate a certain amount of peculium (tips) and sestercii by doing the slave missions, enough to buy your freedom. After a certain time, and a certain amount of money, you would earn the status of 'Freed man'. You would be a freed slave, and a citizen, but still not a Master. It might be possible to fill some character role, like a street philosopher, beggar, fruit seller, etc. This leaves the opportunity for slave brothels as a potential business for 'demo version' Freed man (men) who can't afford a slave of their own.

2018-08-01 22:58:30 +0000 UTCThat's pretty much what is coming your way :D. Next month we hope to add more slaves and toys and such. But for now, it's going to be one slave. There are a lot of things you can do with it however :)

2018-07-19 09:33:01 +0000 UTCI think a Demo with one Fixed Character, and a fixed Slave would be great. So you can train one Slave. When you make it correct, it would be easy to put Updates into this Demo. Like enhancements in Graphics or Sound. Or even more Toys etc. But it won't be the Game.
2018-07-18 21:08:51 +0000 UTCThanks :). If we'll have a public version I don't think it'll be very updated, just the basic one, I am just afraid that releasing it publicly together with when we release it to patrons is a bit not fair to you guys - after that, in any case this version will stay as the public one and the patrons will keep getting the updated versions
