Hey incest freaks! I'm here to give y'all a little update on development. I've had at least one person message me on why I've been so silent recently. I sincerely appreciate all the people who've been concerned about me! I'm really glad to see people caring about the work I do! But to clear things up, I've just been really, really busy with the holiday season and my family. I've been involved with Thanksgiving stuff as well as Christmas stuff and I just didn't have time to work on Daddy, Say My Name. Once 2025 comes though, I should be free to work as much as I want on the project! I'm still aiming for a early 2025 release date, but we'll see what happens.
In the meanwhile, I wanted to do a quick overview on all the feedback I got in the survey I conducted in October. You can look at the results here. I got over 92 responses to the survey and I'm just so overjoyed to see how many people gave their input to this small little incest game <3<3<3. Makes me really confident on the success on the final game. Anyways, looking at the actual results, we can see a few interesting things. Over two-thirds of respondents said they found out about the game through itch.io, with significantly smaller groups of people finding it through Discord, X/Twitter, and Bluesky. Although shout outs to the person who found it through X videos, LMAO. Thankies, Chapomon!
Moving on, a lot of people got into this game because of the incest and because of the attractive design of Ron. Not surprising, but still good to know regardless ^^. Same can be said for what people expected: kinky incestous sex, with a couple mentioning big bottom Dads. Daddy, Say My Name is a very straight forward game. As for what VNs respondents have read before this one, there were a lot mentioned, a lot of them being popular bara games from itch.io such as Tavern of Spear, Lustful Desires, and Burrows. A lot of respondents mentioned By Your Hands as well, which is based! The most mentioned VN was Extracurricular Activities, probably due to being a really popular erotic FVN that updates regularly and is a contemporary romance story that include beefy bodies, just like DSMN (well DSMN doesn't update regularly but you know lol). Not going to comment on the next two questions as the responses are too varied for me to make a good response.
Most people loved the VN, giving it a 5 out of 5! Only three people gave it a 3 while everyone else gave it a 4. I hope I can make 100% of people give my work a 5 out of 5 one day, but until then, I have to just keep on working harder. Most people loved Ron, praising his beefy body, his easy going and mature personality, and some loving that he bottoms for his son, all of which are absolutely valid points to like him! I did get some comments saying that they didn't like how he was estranged from his son for so long, which will be addressed in the game later on! People were more mixed on the protagonist, with some saying that they love his top energy personality, while others saying that he's a twink without much going for him. Those are all valid points and I will keep those in mind while writing the rest of the script for the game. As for what outfit they chose to have Zeke be in, most people chose the masculine outfit, with a smaller group picking the androngynous outfit, and a minority picking the feminine outfit. I have a friend who would call over 90% of you cowards, but I'm not so mean UwU.
Most people enjoyed the art and writing. There wasn't much said about the art, other than saying they liked how it looked. People who said anything about the writing usually said that they liked how quick and to the point it was, with out a few people nitpicking the writing. The music garnered a weaker response, with a bunch of people mentioning they read the VN with the music muted. Those who did listen to the music did complimate the rock soundtrack, which is good because I specifically commissioned a custom made soundtrack for the VN.
I'm not going to mention what people think will happen in the story because I don't want to accidentally reveal future plot details, but you can read the responses on your own. Same with what kind of content people want in the VN, although there were a lot of people who mentioned specific kinks they wanted in the game. As for what people suggested how I should improve the game, a lot of people just wanted more of the game. They wanted more kinks, more sex scenes, more guys, more of the game, basically. That's probably the best and worse response you can hear from fans, as they love what they already have and are willing to take anything you give them but you don't have any feedback on how to actually improve the game. But hey, you take what you're given. The big thing people asked for are multiple routes and more options and I currently have no plans to add more routes, but we'll see what I can cram into the game during development.
As for what kinks people wanted, a lot of people wanted musk, size difference, excessive cum, intense orgasm, and public nudity while not a lot wanted cross dressing or sounding. I'll keep in mind these results as I'm adding more kinkier sex scenes into the game UwU. And now for the elephant in the room, a lot of people really want Ron to top his son, although there are a noticable minority of people who want Ron to be a strict bottom. Honestly, I was pretty certain about Zeke being a total top throughout the game at first. After seeing the results of this, however, I would like to make it possible for Zeke to be a bottom in all sex scenes, though I'll be prioritizing finishing the game over that lol.
The last question is a freeform question and I got a LOT of kind words here. I'm not going to read them all here, you can do so on your own, but I just want to say THANKIES for all the wonderful, spectacular things you guys told me! I'll cherish those words forever!!! ^3^ ^3^ ^3^.
That's it from me for the time being. Happy holidays and I hope your 2025 is a supertabulously awesome year! Look forward to more updates from me in 2025~ Love ya and bye bye!!!!!
