Sorry I've been so quiet! I've been working on a major pivot!

I'm really excited to announce a major change to Monster Girl Farmer! It is now a textbased RPG with a revamped story, characters, and game design. Almost everyone I showed it to has really enjoyed it, so I hope you'll like it too!
Academy Of Fetishes is a textbased, NSFW game, but this is where the similarity between the two will end. AOF has a dark and serious theme. Monster Girl Farmer is a lighthearted comedy. Calling AOF a game is somewhat charitable. It's more like an interactive novel where the main interactivity is, "Do you want to read this scene?" Monster Girl Farmer, on the other hand, already has gameplay in it. There are shops where you can buy items to give to monster girls, random events, followers, etc. The sex scenes in AOF were usually grounded in reality, whereas in Monster Girl Farmer, you'll be having sex with slime girls, giants, and characters that can perform magic.
I want to explain the reasons behind my decision to pivot:
First and foremost, my hands are injured and they have been for at least 8 months. I was sick of waiting around for them to heal so I could continue the visual novel. Over that period of time, I taught myself how to use dictation software really well, but the editor I used to build the visual novel didn't have as many accessibility options as I needed to work a reasonable amount of time each day. The tools I'm using to build this textbased game, on the other hand, are almost 100% dictation based, so I can work for hours.
My dependence on artists became a liability. My main character artist quit right before my injury, and his style was so unique, I couldn't find anyone that could reproduce his style to my liking. When I was working on the visual novel, the artwork always lagged behind my ideas, and it became a bottleneck. This isn't a knock against anyone. It's simply faster to write words than to draw something. By switching to a textbased game, lagging artwork won't delay a release. I hope this doesn't make me sound like an ass. I don't mean it that way! Oh, and don't get me wrong, the game WILL have artwork!
There are lots of other reasons but they are not as important. I'd love to hear what you think about the new Monster Girl Farmer. My preference would be for you to hop on discord and chat with me: https://discord.gg/kpEFKft That way if I need clarification on your feedback, we can have a quick back-and-forth. Of course, it is also fine to comment here or send me an email.
I hope you like it!
