Topic: The Alpha1 release of my erotic text adventure game, LEWD, is finally up

Posted under Off Topic

At the moment the free access is limited, but keys are pretty plentiful and I included one below.
I need whatever support I can get to help develop it to its potential~

playlewd.com/test-server has all the latest content and features as they’re worked on, but it may be unplayable at times and/or very buggy. Only Patrons can access this.
playlewd.com/main is the main “stable” server (at least it should be stable). Both Patrons and people who have redeemed an access key can play here. Later on, I’ll open up wider access until it’s eventually fully open, but that costs too much for me to accommodate right now.

You can now find any keys you have available or redeem one on your account page.

For those who aren’t Patrons, and want to play the game for free, you have to find a key from one of the supporters. There’s like almost 3000 keys out there once the end of November payments finished, so hopefully they’re not terribly scarce. I’ll distribute some as well, increasingly as I can support more players and the game is developed more.

The other best way to get into the closed alpha is to just have an account registered. I’ll be giving out keys there next thing, in probably a month or two.

Here's also a 15 use key for you guys: E000-6SIX-2TWO-1ONE

Redeemed! Never heard of this thing, but I never leave behind something that's for free.

I hadn't really promoted it a whole lot since the old prototype.

There were only 15 uses. How long did you expect it to last?

Updated by anonymous

that key offer seemed rather pointless imo. what, 15 people got to use it or something? i thought about it but then i remembered the history of this game back before it became limited primarily to patreon users aka paying users.

yep, at some point back around 6 months ago. it was free to try out then came along patreon and well, now you have to buy a key, right?

keep you're, very, limited time key required access offers. i'll just be patient and wait till theres actually a public release version to try out.

edit: actually, now that i think of it. i wonder if that key offered here even lasted an hour before being spent.

oh well, theres always CoC and TiTS in the meantime.

Is there gay content?

Yes. Characters being bisexual is the norm. Ones that are only gay or straight is the exception to the norm. I added that to the FAQ.

Maybe others that have one will share theirs.

Yes. A little more than 5 months ago. That was a very old prototype on an entirely different engine that wasn't even a proper engine, not even alpha.

This is the first alpha release on my new engine.
