Whew! It has now been a fortnight since the early access 'Voronica Cleans House: a Vore Adventure' with a 50% off launch sale. The response has been stunning with over 1,200 downloads of the demo and enough purchases to make it the top selling visual novel on itch for a few days (as detailed in 'Mr Hands' Naught list' ) and, at one point, the fifth top-seller overall!

The driving factors in this success were traffic coming from the transformation games site (a database for erotic transformation games) and a a forum post on the 'video game' section of Eka's portal (vore community forum and gallery). I never understood 'niche' marketing when it was put to me in terms of 'middle aged, female, ect...' but these niches I get! When you make a product that caters to a group's specific tastes their community structures will help you quickly reach individuals. Who'd have thought it? (Not me, that's  for sure. I just thought a visual novel about a sexy bunny eating tiny people and growing huge proportions would be hot! 😂 ). With Icarus-like enthusiasm I have now submitted a Steam store page application. I don't actually violate any of their content restrictions, so why not? We'll see how that turns out.

Going to a 50% sale for launch helped also, no doubt. I probably didn't need to do such a drastic cut, but as this was an early-access launch and I am a first time developer, I thought it was a good idea to make it a bit easier for people to put their faith in the project.

So, expect an update within about a week! Most others will probably follow a bit more rapidly, but there was a content hurdle to clear this time as the latest 'transformation' required three additional sets of sprites to be rendered and implemented.

I'll see you soon!
