Current state of the game and me the developer


This is another update on the game and the dev, me. 

This game might be on hold (or even be "finished" ) for now. It honestly hurts my heart a little bit to see people being sad that no new stuff has been released for a while. 

There are multiple reasons as to why development has been so slow and non existent. One of them is not having any time due to school. But there are actually other reasons aswell. 

One day, after I graduate from school, I'm gonna work professionally. I was afraid that my chances of finding a job could be hindered if people were to find out I that I'm the dev of Captivity. Or, what if people who know me very well suddenly find out I am the dev of a game in which you get raped, egged and knotted? I was afraid of the opinions of other people in regards to being an H game dev, basically. I don't want to be known as a perv in real life. I spent weeks trying to figure out what to do in regards to this, and for the last month the conclusion was to just stop working on Captivity all together. 

Also, I've made many programming mistakes during the development of this game. I used Unity in all the wrong ways to try and get exactly what I wanted for this game. The result is a monstrosity, a true abomination of messy code and weird use of the Unity engine. The messed up composition of creepy unintelligible code and downright disturbing use of the game engine defies all laws of physics and defies even the most basic forms of logical thinking possessed by the human mind. But it works. But unfortunately developing this game further can be rough because of those poor choices I made in the past. I don't feel bad about it though. This was a learning project for me anyways and I've learned alot. 

Couple these two major issues and the fact that school is sapping me dry of energy alot of the time, and you get a lack of motivation, an increase of laziness and slight depression whenever you even think about working on Captivity.

But things might change. I have talked to multiple people about some of these issues. I got a new perspective on the whole 'opinions of other people' thing. I think I can keep developing h-games without worrying too much about my public image irl. 

Alot of the code sucks and it will remain so. This is almost a permanent issue for this game, a disease. I'm starting to think about working on something new. 3D sounds interesting. 

School is not going anywhere. I just gotta plan my time well and take advantage of free time when I get it. 

There is a good chance this game is finished, but the dev is not finished yet. I don't know what I'm going to do now, but I'll let the community of this game know when I do. 

Again, thank you for playing and enjoying the game. You probably don't even know how much this little bit of money I made with this game has helped me and continues to support me. Thank you so much.

Ps: I'm still on the Discord server all the time, so I'm not going silent or in hiding or anything.

dunno where to comment but i figure heres a good place :) uh., i understand its no longer being worked on at least until further notice but id still like to be able to buy the game via somewhere. are there any other places id be able to go to do so, even if there's going to be no further updates etc? i understand this post was 2 years ago (i only recently found the games name out) which is why im curious about other ways to be able to pay + play the game and be able to experience it


if you do end up ever seeing this, then thank you for your time if you decide to answer!

(-2)

why doesnt everyone sad that this game is done just make mods for it?

(+3)

most mods require a dedicated fanbase or a big one. this game simply just doesn't have any of those

In order for that to happen the dev has to actually make the source code public 

(+8)

Man I only just found this game such a shame to see it's no longer being worked on, thanks for all the hard work on it anyway, looks like a lot of fun i'll be grabbing it for sure

don't worry more than half of male humans are somewhat of a pervert

sorry if my English suck this is my second language

Uve finally woken up!😂

instead of giving up, why not release the source code to someone more willing to work on the game? in that case, you can get a percentage of the income for being the copyright holder. on the other hand, you could give it to someone else who would be more willing to work on it. alternatively, you could release the source code for a modding community to make things for the game.

make it  as new game just similar to the previous but even better the previous

I would suggest a Patreon or if Patreon has issuse with your game contens (Patreon is a bit picky) Subsciber star. But i guess you heard of it too frome other people.

I can understand the problem with your coding.. well not in codes but i had my time whith RPG maker XP and i was not so wise how to realy use my tools so after i learnd a lot it took me over 2 Day do correct the mess and i dont know if i even got everything.

Was i worth it yes dose anyone knows my games no but i do.

Wow dind want to babel so long. But in my opinion this game it has great potention.

Good work even if the coding isnt flaless.

down horrendous

i loved this game i hope all is well with you <3

(-2)

gotta say, for a $5 game that you did good. and either way, even if you don't develop it more it was left at a good place. it FEELS done. and next game? 3D Captivity would be :giggles: A lot of hilarity. Especially if you do traps. I could just see protaganist suddenly have a tentacle tickling her pussy, and if she doesn't move? BOOM, pregnant.

What a pity. It would be better if it had new content
