Overpriced season 1 finished in  hour. 10 bucks for 1h is too much.

(1 edit)

Thank you for your purchase and your feedback. Normal autoplay speed for Season 1 gives at least 2.5 hours of gameplay. If you have fast forwarded your way through the season, you might have missed quite a lot.

Could it be that you are referring to the free public version of Episodes 1 - 3?

(+1)(-1)

I am a little disappointed. I like this game bacause you really did a good job, but paying 11 $ + tax for every season, is a bit too much for me.  I really did hope to be able to pay the price one time and be able to play it all. I get it, you have to be paid for your job, ut for someone like me that does not have much money in bank, being able to enjoy this great game without paying thta much every time would've been wonderful. Plus, are just 2 ep added, not 5 or 8. I don't know, it seems quite small for more than 11 $.  So yeah, except for the price, it is still a great game.

Thank you for your purchase and support! The Builder is in constant development, and I have noted your wish for having the entire game as one big release.

Is there a way to keep the character Gry who appears at the beginning of the game and is almost abused by Paul?

SPOILER If you look closely, she's in the climax of Ep7, and she's behind the scenes of all the action in Ep8. She is back for real in Ep 9, but there won't be any lewd action with her in that episode (but later there will be).

❤️❤️❤️

well can't wait for the newer version of your game, this is the first time on itchi.io that the game glitch so hard, I've played similar games like Evermore, Last Human, and Serinity season 1 and 2, and Depths Revival which are bigger than your game and play smoothly, I've tried the download here on itchi which is glitch, then try Patreon which is smoother though it stops right when it hits chapter 3 on both builds, however the build on Lewd Flixs site has all the chapter though glitch as well, i hope you have a chance to look into this, i like the game just wish it ran smoothly.

Thank you for your input. I reckon we are talking about the Android version of the game, right?

PC

Firstly: LewdFlix is a pirate site who has stolen the game and is running it on some in-browser emulator.

Secondly: I haven't been able to detect any gliches or problems with the pc builds of neither episodes in the ones I distribute here and via Patreon / SubeScribestar.

Be aware of old saves - if you use these, the game will crash because I update the strings as we progress through the season.

This youtube video should give you instructions to how to get rid of your old saves:

(+1)

well, I am a file jockey myself, go to the game file and look for the save folder, the info you have shared will help other people.

(1 edit)

so, i redownloaded and the seen where you have to get the key out of Liz was all snow background and glitch name and text, do you have discord so i can send you the screen cap

thanks! you should be able to load it right into this message thread? I'm still working out the access rights of the Discord - has been on the backburner ...

(1 edit)

so, the pic is 3.62 MB's, and this chat option only lets 3MB's on here which exceeds the limit, is there anyway i can get you the pic?

thanks for taking all this trouble! can you possible reduce the file size or the image size slightly just to get past the threshold?

the free version is broken, all the pictures are not showing up and the text ether dose not shows, or its glitch is there an updated version i can play (im on the free version)

thank you for your input. I will check this right away

(1 edit)

I just downloaded and played through the free version without problems. Which version did you try? (PC/Linux, Mac or Android)

season 1, E3B2

on which platform (PC/Linux, Mac or Android)?

(1 edit)

Pc

It's a great game, abut I'm a little disappointed. I bought the full season one. The main menu photo shows the pregnant black woman (forgot her name), but the MC hasn't even had sex with her, let alone knock her up. As for trying to impregnate the village, he's not doing very well.

Thank you for your feedback! We will eventually get there with all the ladies, no worries. The black lady - the daughter of the architect - is back within range from the end of episode 8 and onwards.

If all the ladies spread their legs for our hero all the time, it wouldn't be much fun, now would it? Give a man a free house and he'll bust out the windows.

A total of 30 episodes, 5 seasons, are planned, so just enjoy the progression!

I was talking about the architect and daughter both. Even if they aren't spreading their legs, it would be nice to have them in the story. To me they're the prettiest women in the game (and all the women in this story are pretty).

Agree and agree :) They will both be back in business pretty soon

(1 edit) (+1)

Maybe next you can do a Builder spinoff where you have to go build in a remote African village. All the husbands are impotent and you have to impregnate the African wives. lol. I'm joking, but I'm not.

spinoffs, prequels, sequels - bring them on, I'm collecting ideas!

Best way to help that materialize is to add The Builder to your wishlist on Steam so that we make a splash when it releases, that will improve the resources for development even further :)

(+1)

Such a good game!! I can't praise it enough!! Very sexy, nice that every girl got her own little kinks, makes it interesting to see what's coming next! When i found the game I played all available episodes, coulnt pase myself. Can't wait for more.. 

Thank you for your kind feedback!

hello lewd robotics

I bought the game but I don't get a download link or an option to download the game I got an error message I don't know if I should ask here but help

hi, let me know where you bought it

i bought it on itchio via paypal 

(2 edits)

Do you see the Download button just above this conversation?
(on this page: https://lewdrobotics.itch.io/the-builder-season-1 )

(+1)

yes

(+1)

When is season 1 going to be completely free?

(+1)

I'm planning to expand the public version once the game has had its release on Steam. With other words, after the release of Ep 10. I am currently working on Ep 9.

(+1)(-1)

but there is already a demo version!!! I think it’s enough to understand whether to buy the rest of the game or not. I did just that, tried the demo and then bought the entire first season. Now I’m waiting for the entire 2nd season to be ready and I’ll buy it. If you are interested in my opinion, I recommend leaving the demo version unchanged! don't devalue your work!

thank you for that kind input :)

any reason why on windows the sound doesnt seem to work like AT ALL

I haven't been aware of there being any sound issues for windows. Can I ask you to give some more specific input? That would be of great help.

Which languages are offered in the game? is there German?

English only, unfortunately

Why is there completely NO interface on the Android Version? I can kinda understand it on the PC version as you have a keyboard there... But how am I supposed to save or load on Android?

OR skip for that matter if I want to skip ahead since I already know the first two chapters...

Seems kind of like an oversight to me...

Would it be possible to get an update with these features enabled? (We are talking about RenPy after all...)

The visual interface on eps 6-8 was programmed by an external dev I bought. I'm terrible at finding out this stuff, but I'll do my best to see what can be done for Season 1!

(+1)

Since this game was made with RenPy this should be pretty easy...

Their Documentation on that: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/gui.html

You could even go ahead and copy the default buttons from the default RenPy example project... (The features included in that would be absolutely sufficient..)

(+1)

Great - thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

(+1)

Sure! 

In the worst case feel free to reach out if you need help with that 😁

(+1)

I've released the free public version with a quick menu, hopefully this works for Android.

If it does, I'll implement it in both seasons.

Please let me know

chris

So I paid the $11 for the first season 38 days ago. Do i need to pay another $11 for the second season?

(1 edit)

Thank you for your support! There are several ways of following The Builder to its completion - here on itch.io, by joining Patreon or SubscribeStar or by purchasing the early access when it's released on Steam later this year.

Your contributions keep the development of this VN going!

what wait,l i just bought this game, and i have to pay again for the new version ?

(-1)

Let me know what you bought and I'll se if I can sort it out

I payed for season 6 consider my season 2 purchase a donation to the game development. Going forward.but in the future it would be good to know ahead of time of changes like these.

(-1)

I totally agree that the idea of a season pass should have been introduced when I launched Ep6 on itch.io, but the idea came to me after that - exactly to be able to adress the situation you experienced.

So from now on, that will be the norm :)

Thank you for your contribution to this project - it keeps the work going!

Hi, i also paid for this version on android & have the same problem. There is no way to save progress or even return to main menu. How can i download the fixed version without paying again?

I'm working on the fix and once it's uploaded, I'll let you know on this thread. You've paid wich means you have access to the corrected version too :)

thanks for getting back to me. I some how managed to update & now I can save progress which is great. However I still only have the free public version, I've downloaded the paid version from my library but it doesn't download, some sort of error. I really enjoyed the free public version, I want the following episodes, can you help

I will compress and make a new seson 1 release with a smaller file size so it can be hosted here on itch. Unfortunately, it's a couple of weeks out because of irl stuff. Thank you for your patience!

The compressed version is now downloadable here on itch. Hope this works out for you

I would like to ask, is this force ntr or optional ntr? I haven't played this yet

(-1)

No NTR at all now.

I might release an optional NTR version once the full 30 eps are out

Does this VN have an auto-play function that I'm not seeing?  I like not having to tap the keyboard for every single screen advance like most ren'pys have at the bottom menu.

(1 edit) (+1)

Season 2 has one. I will implement in season 1 as well once I finish Season 2 - two more eps to go

This is labeled "Pure Harem Edition" does that mean there is another edition of the game somewhere?

(+2)

In an earlier version I had some optional NTR content. If I have the time after completing the main run of the story, I'll make an alternative version. It's a bit ahead, though, because I'm currently about to release episode 8 of a planned 30 eps in total

(+1)

Thank you for the reply

any plans on going to stearm?

Yes. Once Season 2 is finished, I will do an early release for Steam

(+1)

I have to say, from my current point of view I'm not happy with this and I can not recommend it. I bought the first season, because I didn't realize, how small the episodes really are and how many seasons are planned. Don't get me wrong, the writing is decent, the quality is good, but the pricing is through the roof. There are 30 episodes planned and I assume they will all cost 11$, which for me is a bit more than 12€. I also assume they will all be split up into chunks of 5, thus 6 seasons. That means 66$ or around 75€. There are AAA titles cheaper than that. And if this was some interwoven masterpiece, okay, but it seems the decisions you made are not really carried over between episodes. Not sure if the stats are maybe carried over, but if not this is pretty much a kinetic vn in the coat of a decision based one.

I think developers need to earn money. That's why I support other games (not sure if I'm allowed to name those, as that might be considered advertising them?) on Patreon and buy them when they intrigue me. But this one feels like too much for me. One of the reasons why I made the mistake of buying this, is because I  have a grasp on how much a game is worth and I just didn't think that the amount of content I got at the end could be what I was charged 11$ for. Just never crossed my mind. I thought I'd get like half a game for 11$ or rather the finished first season of a game, not a sixth of a game that is essentially in early access.

The misjudging of what is offered here is on me. There might be room for improvement, but I could have understood, what was offered here. I just want to appeal to the devs of this game to reconsider their pricing options and think of their game as a single game (because it is, although it's neither priced nor developed as a single game. But just one part of this game certainly doesn't feel like a complete game.) I get that this was a lot of work but in the end this is unreasonable pricing. And no, referring people to patreon is not an excuse. Just make sure people can buy(!) your whole game for a price that is comparable to similar games everywhere. Sure, make Patreon a cheaper option (and hope that people don't mind continuing the support), but don't let anyone pay 22$ for 20% of an unfinished game. That's just not right.

I'd happily change my comment to a positive recommendation for what is in it's essence a promising game, when I can expect to pay somewhere around 20-25$ max for the whole game here on itch.io, no matter how exactly the price model looks. But 66$ just won't cut it.

(+1)

Thank you for your input and feedback. The Builder is a passion project, and the revenue is unfortunately insignificant, compared to the amount of work that goes into creating something on this level. The project has many flaws, but hopefully the qualities outnumber them.

The best pricing option for those who want to follow the development of the game is to head over to Patreon or SubescribeStar. By becoming a supporter there, you also gain access to the Discord server and can follow the weekly (and sometimes daily) updates.

I have considered creating a season 2 subscription package, so that you will get the whole season for one price, but I haven't had the time to set it up yet. It sounds from you feedback as that might be an idea.

Best,

Chris / Lewd Robotics

I, too, could not get Mega to work for me....

The download is now directly from itch for the full season 1

Is there an alternative download link? Mega is whining at me about "transfer quotas exceeded," which I believe is formerly-free-web-service code for "we have forgotten how to do capitalism, please use one of our competitors until we remember."

(+1)

Lol, yes, I will provide alternatives, but I'm in the middle of finishing the release of Ep7, which hopefully will happen before xmas. I'll tend to alternative hosting once that's ready.

Season 1 is now downloadable directly from Itch

i payed 22usd and you dont see me complaining also whats your point? if you want a refund contact itch not the dev 

No prob, I will refund you now.

Deleted 359 days ago

yes

.

I just bought this and it wont download its saying file link unavailable 

What platform are you trying to download for?

i bought this and still can't figure out how to get it to work please help 

what platform are you on?

(+1)(-1)

For those that are curious it's pretty short for 11 bucks sadly maybe a hour or two long, if it was like half price I'd reccomend it or if it was bundled with all future content I'd say yes but as of right now too pricey for what you get.

(1 edit)

Thank you for your feedback. 

For a bit of background info, Season 1 is about two year's worth of work.

I can recommend the Patreon or Subescribestar pages for a better price option.

(+1)

Are you going to release this game on Steam??

(+2)

Yes, but that is some months' work away.

(+2)

Thanks. I will be watching Steam for the announcement.

(+2)

Thank you!

(+2)

Thank you, I'm looking forward to it

Do I have to pay 11$ for both episode 6 AND season 1 , so 22$ in total?

yes, that's the situation right now. I might bundle them together on a later stage, but for now that's how it works here on itch. If you want another take on it - head over to the Patreon page.

Same here, I just payed for the episodes 1-5 . Do you really want me to pay  $ 11 again for episode 6

As mentioned earlier, becoming a Patreon is a better deal if you want to follow the story progressively.

Hello developers. I initially paid $10 to get the android version but failed to realize it was $11. I then made another purchase for $1 but i still cant access the android version. Is there anyway this can be fixed?

I've sent the dowload link to your email address

chr

quick question, will you release this on steam?? if not i'll buy it here eventually cuz it looks like the ultimate experience

(+1)

Thanks. The Steam release is at least 4 months away, as it seems now

I paid for the full season 1, and im having crazy trouble. The whole imagine starts to go black towards the end of act 2, leaving me unable to even close the game properly. Any suggestions to fix 

What platform are you on? I know we have some trouble with the android release. 

Other problems are usually fixed by deleting the save files (in the %Appdata% folder on win)

Re/Update: Im on PC version. and after 100 hours of youtube videos i figured out . . . im bad with computers : ' D . But also that is was a issue with my graphics driver, after solving that it played great. 

With that being settled , Rock solid 8.275/10  playthrough  experience  :D  

Happy you worked it out! Thanks for the rating :D

Will there ever be a public free android version or will android be paid only

Android is my biggest headache at the time, but I've noted your wish. If I manage to solve the build issues, it will be easy to port a version of the public Ep 1-3

(+1)

ok but take your time there is no rush just was curious

Hello, will the remaining episodes be ported on here as well? Ir will it always be the 11 bucks for it?

Hello, and thank you for your interest for The Builder. The best price option is to go over to the Patreon page and selectd a suitable tier. When your total support amount exceeds the price here, you get the latest updates directly.

Does this game have any animations? everytime i try and find a sfm type game, it's always just frozen images.

this game has a large number of animations, both the higher level 24 frames movie styles ones and the lower level "cruder" animations with 5 frames per second

so the free version is only up to ep 3? or does that move forward as the episode gets further and further?

(+1)(-1)

I've decided to freeze the public version at ep 1-3 for now because I'm working to get a Steam release of the game. This would hopefully increase the resources I can put into developing it - and thus be able to release episodes faster.

Deleted 21 hours ago

Its only episode 1-3 that is free for the pc. The full Season 1 is 11 as for the android version

(+1)

I want to get that Nurse impregnated!

(+1)

Vote for her in the next poll! I do agree!

On what Patreon or where?

(+1)

Yeah, haven't worked it out yet, but the idea is of course to have the ones who have bought the game give their input

First off I will just say I really like the game, but there is something  I don't understand, in my first playthrough (harem edition) all the "Lewd" options said i dont have enogh points to do the things, so after i finished the game I started the game over again, and did all the same things again, but this time I got the options, did I somehow do a new game+? sins this time I got enogh points?

(+1)

Thank you for your support! There might be savegames influencing your score during the first run-through. Because of recent changes in the code of Season 1, these will not work and might also mess up your gameplay.

Here's the suggested line of action:

  1. Windows button + r.
  2. Insert "%appdata%"
  3. Go to renpy folder.
  4. Search the project folder.
  5. Delete all files.
(1 edit)

hey i paid to get the full season but the pc mega file is down, is this gonna be fixed?

(+1)

Thank you for letting me know. It will be fixed within the hour.

(+1)

It is now updated with the latest, pure harem edition of season 1

thanks!

Warning!!!  There's another author on this website using a copy of your game to take credit for your work. The author is using the same name for the game as yours and his/her name is Lewd Robotics.

The other one is the same name of the original Creator.  The original creator Is LewdRobotics. The fake one is Lewd Robotics.

Thank you for letting me know! I've posted a takedown notice.
