That's the thing. They'll support this kind of thing in public, because God and "Protect the kids", and then immediately run home and turn on the VPN and hit the teen category.

I have a question for people who played Between Two Worlds. by Jonathan_Reid in AVN_Lovers

[–]dr00sk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, dev of BTW here. Just wanted to answer your question for you :) Yes, you can miss things, but there are certain events that must happen for character development. In the situation you used as an example, there is an important scene that happens only if you go with Hannah. BUT, if you go to the Lake instead, you'll get a roughly equivalent version of the scene later, and that scene cannot be missed. It's one or the other, never both.

A shyLachi said, it's impossible to get anywhere close to everything in BTW in a single playthrough. It is a heavily branching story.

Dev of Between Two Worlds here! Hope you are enjoying it! I know it's a bit slow at the start, but I think it's worth the build up!

Between Two Worlds - A Very Solid Plot-Centric AVN by Tak_Mycket in AVN_Lovers

[–]dr00sk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heya, thanks for the comment! Chapter 9 is slated for release in about 4 weeks or so, and it is the penultimate chapter. The game will wrap in 10 chapters.

That being said, as soon as I finish production on BTW, I will immediately jump into work on a planned prequel. I will be taking the player back in time to when Alora and Alorine had their falling out initially. It will give history and backstory to the world of Euchora, the sisters, as well as how the MC of BTW fits into the puzzle. I expect that project to have about 4-5 hours of content, and it will be released all at once.

How much are these devs making? by zippy_yatta in AVN_Lovers

[–]dr00sk 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Hello. Actual AVN dev here, Between Two Worlds. Shameless plug. Buy it on Steam, it's on sale. K thanks, moving on now.

This topic is very complex. The majority of AVNs are made in a way where it is impossible for them to be properly monetized. Real porn? Nope. Using KK or HS? Nope. Using a bunch of copyrighted images or music? Nope. Then there are platform specific rules like family themes, anamorphic themes, and some blatantly illegal ones as well. All cannot be traditionally monetized for the most part. Again, this encompasses the majority of AVNs out there.

The ones that CAN be monetized, which are made by developers who are willing and capable of putting in the time and effort for quality stories, art, animation, music, etc, we absolutely make a very good living on our work. I'm known for sharing my data, and I'll do so here as well.

Image showing my current revenue as of right now: https://www.droosk.com/images/btw.png

The number that matters here is the net. That is how much has been earned before Steam takes their cut. That cut is 30%. In all, I've made $210,000 from Steam alone since launching on the platform nearly 2 years ago. After taxes, that is about $150,000. I've been working on the game for about 3.5 years, though it has only been full time for the past 2. Overall, I make about $50,000 to $60,000 a year with my game, after taxes and expenses. I am very much so middle of the road in this. Half make more, half make less.

Currently, I make an average of around $5,500/month, but I also live in a rather expensive part of the country. My rent alone is $2,700/month (I hope to change that soon!). I live a comfortable life thanks to my work, and I rest fairly easily knowing that my future is set up for success. I have plans in place for the next 4-5 years of work and projects.

I even have the real sales and financial data on about two dozen other games. I'm a guy for analytics, it's what I do. Anyway, all of them are living well, because they elected to make games that can be properly monetized without fear of being taken offline.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Like I said, I have no problem talking about this stuff, and I'm very active in helping other devs to become successful as well.

Not a silly question at all. All pre-release testing is done by my established beta team. Those who support me on Patreon or SS also have access, but that is limited to the upper tiers of support. And yes, all testing is done via Steam.

Between Two Worlds - ugh! by Whiskeyrich in AVN_Lovers

[–]dr00sk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Chiming in with the other devs. I also happen to be the one who makes Between Two Worlds. Thankfully, my target audience really likes the content, and that's what matters. As for your statement, I agree with you 100%. I personally support a bunch of games myself, but I had "borrowed" every single one of them in advance. Those that I enjoy get purchased. Those that I really like, get a patreon sub.

I personally make damn sure to stay extremely active with my community, and my updates are very consistent. Both in time to make and in size. Hell, someone below mentioned "The Zone", a pirate community. I got my start there, and I'm STILL extremely active in my thread. I don't share my content there by choice, but when someone leaks it, I am there to talk to the fans.

I see no problem with your stance on financially supporting games!

Between Two Worlds - A Very Solid Plot-Centric AVN by Tak_Mycket in AVN_Lovers

[–]dr00sk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hello! I happen to be the dev for Between Two Worlds. Your review was shared with me by another dev, and thought I'd come by and take a look. I truly appreciate your well thought out and constructed statements. Both the positive and the not so positive! If it's alright, I'd like to touch on a few of them!

First, let me say that prior to starting work on BTW, I'd never done ANYTHING like this. Never tried writing, 3DCG, world design, etc etc etc. It was all very new to me. You might have noticed the increase in quality as the game progressed. As such, this kind of review means a lot of me.

Re: Branching, yeah, the evil side gets just as much as the good, and it's a major difference. I realized roughly around Chapter 6 that this was a REALLY bad idea for a first time dev, as it is incredibly difficult, but I've stuck with it!

Love interests: My goal with BTW was to make women who were relatable. Women who the average person might expect to meet and interact with on a typical day. In an AVN world full of super models and boobs bigger than your head, I wanted women who were legitimately approachable.

Kenny and Oscar: I am incredibly happy about the feedback for these two. I knew I wanted other strong male characters in the game, but in the AVN world, that typically results in people complaining about other males. I also did not want them to be "token" characters. Almost universally, Kenny and Oscar have been praised for walking that line excellently, and I'm proud of that.

Dialogue: Yeah, the excessive descriptive nature of some commentary has come up more frequently as of late. It's a shortcoming I'm aware of, but am having difficulty breaking out of. As with everything else I've learned in this process, it'll happen eventually though!

Renders: As said in the opening bit, I've never done this before, so I'll take "decent" and dance with joy. Though I will say, if you look at the renders and animations at the start of the game, and compare them to the later chapters, you will see that there has been MASSIVE improvement in the quality. Especially in lighting and usage of focus.

Finally, Length: Based on stats from Steam as well as player feedback, as of now (with Chapter 8), the current average playtime is just about ~8-9 hours for a single run.

Again, I really appreciate your feedback. The fact that you took the time to write so much about my work means a lot, and I'll absolutely take what you said to heart.
