Hi. It's put on hold for now as I am focused on finishing other projects. I don't know when I will update it, but I hope to get back to it at some point.
Inspiration comes and goes and perhaps at one point the dev was inspired by the story being made here but has come to a wall and was able to keep working by shifting focus to a story they feel compelled to make. I'm being general as I don't this creator's life story but it's very common for small devs to have lots of projects they are working on because the hit writer's block on one project but not on another.
Ok so not sure how I found this game but thought would give it a try and to be honest I am a tad disappointed. It honestly seems to me to be a cash Grab. An the reason I say this is cause of what the Developer, Creator, whatever you care to call them is doing. They are "Making you, Charging you $8 or more here on Itch.io." But in the Game some events are LOCKED behind a paywall which they do NOT tell you about. An example would be you pay the $8 here on Itch.io and expect to play the game your purchased. But when you get to said events says "Locked behind Patreon Legend Tier." Which by the way is a $25 SUB per month. I understand it's your "game" and you have to make money on it. But way to fuck people twice. Why not give them the game for FREE and let them decide if they want to pay the $25 to support you. Instead of give me $8 to TRY the game only to find out it's behind a paywall. To me that is Shady and not a way to promote your game. If your gonna do that at least tell the people so they can know the facts before trying or Paying for your game.
Ah Thank you kindly. I do find your grammar quite alarming since you obviously don't know how to spell or to do complete sentences. Use Spell check next time. Plus my comment is not a Faulty Account and I don't do Negative reviews. This is a CASH grab game. The fact that he hides that behind some Shady BS is wrong. If he is gonna add content behind a paywall instead of telling people up front then he deserves this review. Cause people should know don't blow $8 here and then find out there's no COMPLETE game that some scenes are hidden behind a paywall and to get them you have to go to their Patreon Site and Pay $25 on top of the already $8 you paid for the game. If you have a issue with me speaking the truth tough shit.
An BTW do you even know what a paywall is moron? It's where a Developer / Creator makes said Game, Visual Novel whatever and calls it complete, then hides content behind a paywall. So in order to see said content you have to Purchase it! So it's NOT a COMPLETE GAME that you just just paid them $8 for. Your just paying for a Demo, Trial, whatever you care to call it. Which if they, Void Star or whoever the hell wasn't being SHADY about it. They would tell you that in the description instead of waiting, letting whatever you pay the $8 and find out "oh hey I can't see this content, cause I gotta pay the extra $25 on Patreon on top of the $8 I just paid here on itch.io." So yes to me that is SHADY and people should KNOW.
Absolutely valid feedback. I am very sorry for that. I thought I mentioned the $25 patron tier sex scene reward in the description, but I have missed it. I added it now as it should've been there from the start.
Just to elaborate on people trying the game before paying $8, I do have a free demo available which you don't have to pay anything for. It includes the full 0.1 version which is the prologue.
I personally appreciate this insight, however, I wonder if you'd be able to set aside this disappointment long enough to say whether you think what you get for the $8 is good quality content on it's own, maybe enough for some of us to play that much and just forgo the 'legend tier' costs.
And to the Dev, Yeah, I think it's fair to find a way to monetize your hobbies, especially if you're exceptionally skilled at it. I regularly send creators donations if I go through their content and it hit me positively in some way, because I'd like to see them create more content.
but.
I gotta say, asking for a monthly subscription of $25 to unlock a fraction of the experience? On top of a requirement to buy in the first place? That's quite a stretch if there ever was one. I'm gonna check out Forgotten Paradise, cause I'm curious if your work is worth buying into in the first place, but you should be aware that the market you're competing in, the best works out there are completely free with an option to support, or another common one, the content is free up to two updates ago, and you gotta pay a couple of dollars to get the latest content. You're shit has got to be triple A polished [Which you're really not gonna get with Ren'Py] to expect people to pay $25/mo to access a little extra content. If it's working, awesome, but if it's not... well then... you know why. [Don't bother trying to convince me it's working. I know how this shit works.]
I just played through the demoand I really like it so far. I just wish there was a way to avoid straight sex and do a lesbian only playthrough,. And I intend to stay a lesbian in comming updates (if possible, but I sure hope so)
Also while I'm at it, there's no way, in the free-roam section, to go from the throne room to the bedroom or the other way around, it adds some clicks, it's a bit frustrating. I also expected a way to steal the sword of those humans, to have at least a weapon for upcomming encounters
And I realize I am nitpicking, but as I said, I really enjoyed it so far, and am already hoocked for the story
Void Star if you're seeing this mate, actually wanted to work with you, since you are just doing, novels book games, I'm actually wanted to know if you're into learning unreal engine 4? Please get back to me on that.
It's female protagonist. If you click "More information" you will see it tagged there, but I guess I should add it in the features description as well.
Dear developer, are you planning to continue developing this game after you finish Pandora Box 2 or you will return to Forsaken soon?
Honestly the fantasy WoW setting looks more appealing to me rather than regular pandora box or sci-fi forgottten paradise settings. I won't mind buying the game for 8$ too, cause the game is great (albeit too short even with patron content) and the renders are superb.
Thanks for the kind words, Red Lotus. I do plan to return to the game, yes. When the time is right I'll post an update to my Patreon page saying that the next month's update will be Forsaken. I know it's taking a while between updates, I apologize for that.
I am running an PC with Windows 10, however I resolved the problem. I had to switch off my PC protection to download, then it ran fine. disappointed it seems like a short game though.
Have you any dates on a full release? I am one of these people that only, really like playing competed titles. I am playing Forgotten Paradise and really enjoying it. Next is definitely going to be Childhood Friends. You are an amazing Visual Novel writer! PLus the artwork is superb! Thank you for all your efforts!
Hey, Akashisoka. I am looking to port it to Steam, but I will probably wait until 0.2 is out until I do that, so that I can have a free demo to post there as well. As for the kinks, yes. I am looking to have the same ones like my previous games. The NTR one is the only one that is up in the air.
By previous game, you mean only "Pandora's box", or also "forgotten paradise", and so will there be futa too ? (A girl whit dick permanently, not just one Time, by magic or by medicine, if possible.)
I mean both. Forgotten Paradise had incest and it got me into trouble with Patreon, so that kink is most likely not going to be present, unfortunately.
Futa? I think there will be at least one character like that. I want to have variety of different cast, so futa is definitely a valid option.
Thanks you to answer my question, and don't worry, when I was asking about Forgotten Paradise, it was mostly for futa, not the incest part.
And also one of your phrasing make me wonder something.
You say "variety of different cast", sorry my pc broke, so I don't know if we already see it at 0.1, but it is only elf, human, undead,... Or will it be Monster(girl) (centaur, harpy,...) Too?
Sorry to aske so many question.
I shoud realy start to make smaller text.
Ho and, if it is your kink, or asked many, many time (don't seem to be so from what I see here.):
I only played F.P. with NTR off, but if you realy like to make a NTR or cockold, maybe make it with other girl or futa, I would not mind as long it don't look like a man.
And for incest, if you did it for yourself, sorry to know you can't do what you want (but I see other game write "landlady" "landlord" "roomate", don't know if it work, but if it can help.) And second, if I could take some of your time, or other peoples who like incest, to anderstand what do you feel different between doing it with your mother, a milf, or a wife... ( You can change the sex and age if it is the brother you want).
Elves, Humans, Goblins, Trolls/Orcs, Undead & more unique races which I haven't gotten to make yet. There's a W.I.P. character I've posted on my Patreon with 4 hands for example. So I can definitely make unique looking creatures/characters.
The issue is that it will look ridiculous if your sisters are your "roommates" in this fantasy setting. I rather not have any incest at all if it means the game looks a bit less ridiculous in the process.
If Patreon gave you a problem because of the incest content of "Forgotten Paradise" then they will give trouble to most adult visual novel writers, because most use the incest path or give it a chance. And that sucks both for you developers and for us consumers.

my suggestion would be to release it for steam......... hoping for a yes or no
I'll wait for the game to be finished, then I will pay my $8, because somehow, I just don't think this game WILL be finished!
Awesome game🤪👍🏻🤪👍🏻
Abandoned?
Hi. It's put on hold for now as I am focused on finishing other projects. I don't know when I will update it, but I hope to get back to it at some point.
Why do devs start new games when they haven't finished their previous games?! It's so bloody annoying!
Inspiration comes and goes and perhaps at one point the dev was inspired by the story being made here but has come to a wall and was able to keep working by shifting focus to a story they feel compelled to make. I'm being general as I don't this creator's life story but it's very common for small devs to have lots of projects they are working on because the hit writer's block on one project but not on another.
Is it still just on hold or is it abandoned?
When are you going to do the rest of the game because paying the game 10 dollars for the little content hurts a little
What gender do you play as and what gender are the love interests?
Female protagonist and there is both male and female sex scenes.
Ok so not sure how I found this game but thought would give it a try and to be honest I am a tad disappointed. It honestly seems to me to be a cash Grab.

Can contact me on my Patreon through a message, but you need to have a pledge. Otherwise email is the other option that comes to mind.
I am not really active on discord, but you can message me there I will check it for your message:
Void Star#2901
Void Star if you're seeing this mate, actually wanted to work with you, since you are just doing, novels book games, I'm actually wanted to know if you're into learning unreal engine 4? Please get back to me on that.
Hope to chat soon.
wait what the hell...maybe a little info in the bio would be nice. do you play a female or a male?
It's female protagonist. If you click "More information" you will see it tagged there, but I guess I should add it in the features description as well.
Dear developer, are you planning to continue developing this game after you finish Pandora Box 2 or you will return to Forsaken soon?

downloaded this game after playing 2 other Void star games, but this one will not run for some reason? advice needed
Can you tell me what exactly the error is or what happens when you try to run the game? Also, what platform are you trying to run it on?
I am running an PC with Windows 10, however I resolved the problem. I had to switch off my PC protection to download, then it ran fine. disappointed it seems like a short game though.
I am glad you got it running. There seems to be some issues with Ren'Py detecting the 32 bit exe as a virus...
About it being a short game, it's still work in progress. You won't have to pay for any future updates on here.
sylvanas windrunner created by blizzard as the main image for tge game??
If I buy the game) will I get free updates?
You get all future updates for free, yes.
Ok.Thank you
How is the ichi io version different from the patreon for 25$?
$25 patreon version gets 1 extra sex scene per update.
needs male player
There will be a free demo once 0.2 is out.
Have you any dates on a full release? I am one of these people that only, really like playing competed titles. I am playing Forgotten Paradise and really enjoying it. Next is definitely going to be Childhood Friends. You are an amazing Visual Novel writer! PLus the artwork is superb! Thank you for all your efforts!
Will it be on steam? Also will it include the similar kinks along the way like the other games? (such as choosing a dom or sub way, foot play, etc.)
I'm already looking forward to buying it, having experienced your previous works. Would love a feedback beforehand.
Hey, Akashisoka. I am looking to port it to Steam, but I will probably wait until 0.2 is out until I do that, so that I can have a free demo to post there as well. As for the kinks, yes. I am looking to have the same ones like my previous games. The NTR one is the only one that is up in the air.
By the way.. Is the $10 for just this 0.1 version or full game?
Right now only 0.1 is out, but as more updates come out you won't have to pay again to access them.
By previous game, you mean only "Pandora's box", or also "forgotten paradise", and so will there be futa too ? (A girl whit dick permanently, not just one Time, by magic or by medicine, if possible.)
I mean both. Forgotten Paradise had incest and it got me into trouble with Patreon, so that kink is most likely not going to be present, unfortunately.

Definitely. It's very unfortunate that developers don't have full freedom to develop the games they want over there.
you may want to write your comment to the dev 'Voir Star' more than to me, another player...
Thank you very much for the correction, I thought I had responded to the Void Star comment.
