Announcement I made in STEAM: There is no update for PWAW in STEAM for 2023.
Here you can see the original post:

I had been working on PWAW for 6 more months in PWAW after Christmas 2022 but most of what’s new is improving minigame with Didac, a lot of new text, but without images (and some parts of it I couldn’t upload it to STEAM anyway because some parts are actually forbidden in this platform, especially the parts where you decide to commit heinous acts against the blonde).
I buyed a new office for my intern and a new computer, I was about to buy a new one for the person I was to hire to help me go faster the game. That was on 2020.
After that they kicked me out of the office due to the COVID. I had to keep working almost alone on this project since then since the funds were getting lower and lower.
I gived myself one year to finish the game (Since it’s actually almost done), but it’s in details what makes the game so big. There are so many paths I wanted to do, that… well it made me impossible to finish it.
I don’t want to call the game abandoned, but unless things change and I earn a lot more money I can’t really put more time on it. I know it may sound as an excuse but COVID really killed me, so I had to start over and make something different.
I must admit that the minigames in PWAW is one of the things that killed me the most, it took me almost a year to finish Didac minigame, and that’s because of my lack of programming knowledge. Also all the bugs, being my first visual novel ever… To many rookie mistakes.
Right now I have 2 other projects.
--- One big: Trapped in a Fantasy Femdom Brothel
--- and one small: Secret Glory Hole (A short prequel of PWAW)
(In both, English is the main language, not spanish).
Why 2? Well, because the small one is something I want to really finish and put it on sell, I never “finished” and sold a game before, so I want to do that, even if it’s an small one.
— Secret Glory Hole (A short prequel of PWAW):
I want to keep working on this second one on January, (in writing is already finished and in art-sketch is half done) I would like to have it completely finished soon so I could add to it different translations (Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, … don’t know…) I would like also to add English Voice (There are only 2 female characters) So it’s doable. The game is short.
I would like to put a price on this game in STEAM and ITCHIO. It’s a short game so I’m not really sure which price should have. I tried to look around STEAM to look for prices for short games. (The game has 25,932 words, which means around 2,5 hours of gameplay, in theory). I would like to know what price you would be willing to pay (and you think it is a fair price for the rest of the players on STEAM) for such a short game.
— Trapped in a Fantasy Femdom Brothel:
(So far in December 2023 it has already 53,991 words)
This is the big one I’m working on, I cannot upload it on STEAM yet since it’s still a bit early for that and I’m not sure I’m gonna upload it on the next christmas neither yet. But there’s something I would really appreciate.
Few weeks ago a user in Discord ordered me to change the skin color of the protagonist because for his opinion it is too “DARK”, and he wants to play a caucasian protagonist. (The skin color is the same as the PWAW’s protagonist, I always thought it was already pretty light skin, maybe a bit tanned from sunbathing,, but yeah, I must admit he is probably not a super aryan race one… anyway…)
He threatened me that if I didn't change the skin color of the protagonist he would leave me a one star review (the lowest possible) every 2-3 days, causing my game to sink into the deepest depths of itchio's search engine.
You know how important are the RATINGS in platforms like STEAM. In itchio is also greatly important for visualization. The problem with this second platform is that you can leave a review without even playing a single second of the game, one can make accounts without having to enter the credit card, you don’t even need to write any opinion about it, just leave the one start there, etc. The ease of creating fake accounts is much greater than in STEAM.
I don’t really know if he is using a bot or if there’s a kkk forum. I reported all these comments to itchio, but so far they did absolutely nothing.
I’m not a fan of asking for help, but I loathe even more blackmail, and I really don’t have many other options.
I can’t put the link of the Trapped in a Fantasy Femdom Brothel itchio link here, but you can find it on Google if you write those words. I would really appreciate if you could leave mew a more positive review than a single star to battle this troll. (You can also try the game there if you want, I would appreciate it even more ^^).
FUTURE:
I would really like to finish PWAW, I would even like to make a sequel to it, or at least finish the expansion called “PWAW: Redemption” where it’s you who becomes a woman instead of your friend. But right now I can’t make promises that I’m not solely dependent on myself to keep, not when I have to deal with so many things and that damn troll is neither helping.
In any case, thank you. Thank you for all the interest you had in this game and for the huge amount of good reviews this game has so far in STEAM, it’s really breathtaking.
I hope I can keep working on these projects and finish them all, at least that’s what I hope.
Thanks
