Good points Skidrow, but D3 is a B--izzard game. Sure development on it took several years but Diablo has been around for over 20 years. Back when there was only Doom and Quake. A household name with the nerd crowd from the 80s and 90s

The sheer $$ that BLizz can throw at a game is staggering. From WOW subscriptions fees alone, they can operate dozens of global servers. There is a dedicated team in each field working on a specific aspect of the game. Never ending R&D, and etc...They make millions gross profit. D3 can be bought with in game currency, account bound $, and several other options. D3 runs a constant PTR testing with hundreds of players poking around for new bugs. Patches are updated on a regular basis. The support team for Blizzard is mind blowing. From website IT all the way to texture render artist and voice actors. Blizz can only be compared with Valve in sheer gaming numbers.
Other developers and publishers cannot match the collective pool at their disposal. Xmoon Produxtions has none of that. Really no offsite for advertising also. Here and Hongfire and few other sites maybe. Unity sex games are still popping up regularly. Look at the number of starter Patreon companies. One kid in a garage can use RPG maker and make a dinky text scroller with fappable images for cutscenes and get a few thousand off of it. And he NEVER has to finish it! Its already funded and how exactly can you get refunds for pledging a Patreon title? Its not like Steam. A Unity license isn't that bad. Unity is a descent engine but it does lack physics in some areas. Competition is growing especially in the VR department. We might soon have a Jack O Matic 4000

Xmoon currently does not have and probably will never have any fan base, development team, constant influx of $, etc.... like a AAA developer. Lets be honest, Xmoon is an obscure title for an obscure genre. Markets for games like this are super small, but in great demand.
And lets not forget how to buy. This is not a title you can just run down to old school Babbage's or Gamestop and preorder. Or find on Amazon or Ebay. Although its close to the top searches in Bing and Google for 'sex game' and such, its basically an unknown game. I don't want to get off topic of the new release thread, but if today, I was searching for the next new 3D, CGI looking simulation or game, and I came here. And I saw that progress may or may not be dead, and not many recent post in YEARS from the developer on the ONLY support forum for the PURCHASE of said game, I would move on. Probably put this site in my favorites list somewhere and check back one day I'm not doing nothing.
Sure it has cutting edge so to speak things, but there is a short story, a descent sandbox type mode, pretty cool customization of characters and models to a point, SOME modability in the game with a few awesome mods released, but aside from basically a select VERY FEW individuals on these boards, the game is and has been stagnant for quite some time.
Peeps are tight with their cash unless its their parents money which is gonna be a hard sell for 15 year old to get mom and dad to finance this game.
Also it was funded on Patreon remember? Im sure there is a in my spare time, this is a hobby of mine cause I have to work a job somewhere attitude now. Im guessing its still less than 6 people coding on this game, which is fine, but the longer it drags on WITHOUT an OFFICIAL response, interest in this game is just that, a passing interest.
Also kudos and hats off to everyone that has modded, talked with the developer and relayed info, the how to's and tutorials, and game support help in the past. You have really kept this game in the spotlight and up and running for others to discover and enjoy.
And Xpad, nothing wrong is laid in your direction. 3.5 is done, finished. Works as intended. But as stated before above, I feel you are losing time by staying in the dark and not even promoting a forum moderator to delegate the task of relaying messages to YOUR fanbase.
As stated again, this IS THE SITE where you purchase, get support, look about info for the game, and have a general discussion.
