This game is not aimed at typical straight males. I'm not trying to be exclusionary, I'm just saying there's a significant amount of dick. I don't know how much more clear I can be about this LMAO! This sexual content in this game is built for Women, Members of LGBTQ+, Masochists/Submissives, and experimental people with open minds that also love horror.
Welcome to The Price Of Flesh!
This game is a hybrid between Survival Horror and NSFW. While the adult content is optional (it can be toggled when starting a new game file), the vibe of the overall game is still somewhat sexual, and the horror content is very intense- hence the minimum age.
You begin the game in an auction, and you are what's being sold. You can choose one of three paths, being sold to one of three bidders.
Mason: If you are bought by Mason, you'll be taken off the grid, deep into the dark Canadian wilderness. Mason's goal is a good hunt, and you are his prize. On this path you'll not only be dealing with Mason, but the mountain itself, and all the danger upon it. You'll need survival skills, and to keep your wits about you. You'll need to manage your health, the freezing temperature, and the onset of insanity to have a chance of surviving.
Celia: If Celia buys you, you'll be taken to the basement floors of an abandoned office building. Celia is a bit high strung, and she's looking for a way to relax. Unfortunately, her preferred methods of unwinding are a bit violent. One wrong move and you may lose your life. Her path is more psychological, and you'll need to be smart and stealthy to stay alive. Unfortunately, there's no way to tell time underground- and you'll never know when she's going to come back.
Derek: Derek belongs to a sort of 'club'. If he's the one to purchase you, then you'll find out what this club is all about. In the middle of the desert, five killers bring five victims- including you. Not only will you have five murderers to contend with, but you'll have to worry about the searing heat of the desert. There's no food and no water, and the clock is ticking for your own survival- and that of the other four victims. You may need to work together if you want to make it out alive.
Purchase
In order to download this game you must purchase it at or above the minimum price of $14.99 USD. You will get access to the following files:

first time actually writing a review on here or anywhere to be honest. Played this game back in 2023 and I have been a fan of your work for years, I absolutely adore every detail, love and passion you put into your work and your art especially. you have been an incredible inspiration for me to continue on my art journey because for the longest time, due to mental health I just haven’t been able to pick up a pencil and do what I loved doing the most but, now I can say I’m truly back to being myself, piece by piece bit by bit and having back the passion for art brings me immense joy.
this might be cheesy, you may not even read this comment if I’m honest since there is so many fans writing here I’m sure, but ever since you disabled your social media accounts I’ve been dying to talk to you or even say a simple hi because you’re legit my idol for years and years I was just so scared and shy to ask anything or like or leave a comment.
I truly hope you’re okay
With all the drama, and in general, I really do hope you continue to thrive and do what you love to do.
I haven’t mentioned, and it’s kinda obvious but I’m a fan of your characters also. :)
Strade and ren (Lawrence too but-) being my absolute favorites and, ren, being unfortunately the character I relate to the MOST out of everyone
I find it incredibly beautiful how you can take such complex emotions, grief, anger, revenge, and turn it into a character.
I know ren isn’t the one you created if we speak about designing, but you gave him life and I just love it sososo much.
I’m rambling … (╥_╥)
But anyway.
Just know you have the biggest supporter out there from the small country of Georgia saqartvelo. <3 keep being awesome.
I’m re-editing this for the third time but I also wanted to mention how I find you really really damn pretty :((( AUGH WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME IM SORRY I JUST HAVE TO SAY IT
Very very very pretty in the most respectful way possible
Derek my wife au auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I don't want to harm any of your rights or spread piracy. May I ask if you allow me to translate it myself? I won't spread it. I will ask those who need the translated version to provide order screenshot
我并不想损害你的任何权利也不想传播盗版，请问你允许我自行翻译吗，并不会传播，我会让那些需要翻译版本的人提供订单截图
That sounds perfectly acceptable to me. Thank you for your consideration!
I haven't been able to provide official translations because I'm a one-person developer and I can't afford official translation, but some people have translated TPOF and made bootleg copies. My only problem with this is that they usually distribute the translated copy for free, which does hurt my business.
I'm very sorry for the lack of good translation options for TPOF.
I will be trying to build a new system for my next game which should hopefully make fan translation easier to distribute and install to an existing official game.
Hello Gato, I would like to inform you on behalf of the Russian community that your style is brazenly plagiarized from your first projects (BTD 1/2). This plagiarism is called Blood Addict (Demo), the creator of this plagiarism draws in your old style and at the same time provided paid services. I ask you to check our guess, because it is visible to the naked eye that not only the style jumps, but the sprites of your original character Strade are copied.
plagiarist's telegram channel: https://t.me/erriccbuttcher
and the telegram channel itself with the novella file: https://t.me/bl00daddict
Sorry for the mistakes, I am writing to you through a translator.
You are very kind to worry about me! Thank you for your care and concern!
However, I am not upset that someone may copy my style. When I was young, I copied the style of artists I loved. It's how I found my own style. I am very flattered that someone feels my style is worth copying.
Just played through a really large part of the game on Steam before realizing I had to reset when I realized I needed zero deaths to see my pookie lawrence /lh im totally fine guys i say sobbing on the floor. This is REALLY good so far, and I wanted to post about it on the page I found it on :) While it's kinda hard at first to realize the different steps to take for different results and endings, some tutorials have led me to piecing together some new options and endings on my own :) Normally I get frustrated when I need to look up a tutorial because I like trying to go through the process of finding it out without outside help, but honestly it was still enjoyable because I was moreso pushed into the right direction than just taking an easy way through it :)
The routes are all so unique, I am honestly so giddy to complete all of them :) Derek's definitely the most uncomfortable; with having people like you and figuring out quickly who you can and can't trust, along with some of the most genuinely interesting characters in the entire game (Tom, Jacqueline, and Machete my beloveds oh i hold them so very near and dear to me id sacrifice Derek for them in a HEARTBEAT) and a nod to the previous Legacies that shows a certain man paying eternally for his curiosity in humans at their most desperate, this was the first route and probably the one I tried the hardest on, and god was it worth it. During the entire route I felt uncomfortable and desperate, I felt genuine dread whenever Derek or any of the other masks (excluding my unproblematic king Machete. probably unproblematic idk) showed up because I knew there was no way to escape them.
Celia my beloved. I was iffy about her route at first because I was like "damn, only one room?" BUT OH BOY WAS I WRONG, her route and her as a character was so interesting to me, she's probably my favorite person to develop a trauma bond with. She isn't just a person with bad morals, she's lonely and venerable and, when you choose the right options, caring and borderline reliant on you not only for company but for her happiness. When I got her ending telling me I'm all she has and how almost desperate she sounded to keep me from dying I had to pause and put my head in my hands because oh my poor wife. Oh my wife. She actually had me sympathizing with her and wanted to choose the kind options because I knew she'd actually appreciate it and reciprocate it, unlike Derek or Mason where it would have been abused, she felt the most human, which is a really important thing for me as a player. She's a bad person, but a good woman to fall in love with. Whenever I want a route I can enjoy and play for fun instead of terror I go for hers :)
MASON. OH HIS WAS THE SCARIEST LMAO, Derek's was uncomfortable, it was so scary all I could feel was discomfort, while Mason's I was so scared all I could feel was dread. Aside from making me have like 2 hours of dread at the fact I had to delete all my progress so I could see my pookie bear in his route, something about his route feels the most realistic, which made it the most terrifying to me. Not only is he a Canadian who isn't very nice, this man feels reasonably terrifying. He doesn't flaunt his wealth, he doesn't have his own trauma-bonded ending, he tries to give me a chance with supplies because he wants to watch me fail and not know how to survive, and that is terrifying to me. Plus, what you did with Lawrence is probably my favorite nod to the old Legacies. Love demon Strade, but forever undead Lawrence? I'm licking that plate clean because you cooked with that. I was constantly struggling to survive, and after awhile I realized how scary it was because Mason being the most realistic, I really wouldn't know how to survive him. With Derek I can always find the friends and survive my little pony friendship is magic style, Celia I can just fall in love with, but Mason is the most real to me, and that made him the most terrifying :)
FOX. OH FOX MY BELOVED OLD MAN. I can't say too much without spoilers but GOD I love that man, I can fix him (i say while probably accidentally making him so much worse in the process). The entire time I was heart eyes until I got really scared and actually had to stop playing to take a mental break because what do you mean my pookie became this? My twink?? What do you mean he isn't lame and he's actually so scary now and I'm not fixing him??? By the time I got to his route, I began to actually have a good feel for the game and start trying to think about what I need to do to survive instead of just trying to make good choices. What a route to do it on AND FIGURE IT OUT ON LOL HHH....his route broke my heart for what he became but also quickly fall in love with him all over again. The DEFINITION of unconditional love because had he been anyone else I'd be too scared to pay attention to his route lol.
I honestly have so few complaints about the game. I would have liked it if there was a way to get some help with getting new endings/making new choices, it's honestly so easy to forget what you have and haven't done that at times I would get a bit confused at what to do next. Also, for Mason's route, I would get ideas like "OH I can do this to survive" and the option wouldn't be available </3 Using the blade from the knife and heating it with the fire to close the wound he gave me, breaking into his cabin and taking some pelt to keep warm, looking through cupboards for food, setting a trap somewhere else outside for Mason (or food!) to stumble into, etc! Some ideas I felt so smart for thinking of but weren't options </3 I know you have more games in mind for the future, and honestly I think it'd be super fun to really push the idea for survival like that if possible :) I wanna feel so smart for the maybe 3 survival tactics I know actually know of because it def isn't marking maps or knowing which way North is. Maybe even a secret way to interact with things instead of just having "Search Area" as an option, kind of making us look around and finding things on our own on a time limit would be terrifying but fun in concept. You have a really amazing way of pushing survival in a lot of these routes and making us WORK for it, I'd just like some more chances for it to come up in future games if possible <3
So sorry for the long rant its 2 am and this is a special interest i do fear. Thank you for making a good game :) Super excited to support your future works <3
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! 😭
heyhey! kinda dumb question but is the dlc included in the steam version of the game?
Yup! The game files between Steam and Itchio are actually exactly the same [ the only difference is that Steam Achievements won't work with an itchio copy because the game needs to talk to the Steam website ]
okay! tysm! :)
Hello, I already purchased this game a year or two ago on my old phone. How can I re-download this game without repurchasing it?
If you still have the same itchio account you should be able to download it again normally on the game page :D
hellooo this game isnt available on steam in my country but it is on itch.io i think? why is that?
Some countries [ Germany and some others ] have banned Adult Games, so Steam doesn't allow the purchase of Adult Games in those countries. Itchio is a smaller company, so it gets away with still offering Adult-oriented games to people.
Bought this game a while ago on steam, at the time I still had my computer but didn't even had the chance to play it before my PC broke.
I thout I could play it on my phone anyways but apparently this game doesn't have a support for Android on steam (as far as I checked btw). I was considering buying it again here but as a Brazilian it is too expensive for my own good to pay for the game a second time. I just wanted to play the game ;-; can someone help me?
maybe you could refund the game on steam and buy it on itch.io?
Hey there! I don't want to charge you twice. If you send me a message on my Etsy Store [ https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Gatobob ] I can reply privately to you and help you
I think the only way this game could possibly get even better is if in meme lord mode you had the option to ask chat if you were cooked in that part where you can look at the camera and smile
LMAOOAOOA that'd actually be hilarious 😭
hiya I love the game so far but have been really struggling to play it because it just keeps crashing. I'm on the mason route and I can't even get to an ending because of the crashes... I have the game on steam not on itch if that helps....
If it always crashes in the same place and gives the same error then it would be due to code and I could do something about that, but when it comes to random crashing, that would have more to do with your machine/memory/drivers and I can't really troubleshoot that, I'm sorry ^^;
I love the game so much so far! Also! What was the music you used for it??
There's a music room right in the game where you can see the credits for each individual track, but most tracks were purchased through Envato Elements and some tracks were composed by BARBATUS
Hi Gato, don’t know if you’ll see this but I bought the game today and for some reason it keeps kicking me out every 5-10 minutes. Do you know the issue by chance?
I'm very sorry, I don't really know what could be wrong ^^; If it's starting up and then crashing then it may be a lack of memory issue..?
Wonderfully written, so happy to play this gorey, gorgeous masterpiece.
I am unhealthily hyperfixated on this game. It is consuming my brain
I'm afraid the achievements are only on steam since they're steam achievements
helpp :( im using mac and can't open the game. I've tried control-clicking and opening it and it still doesn't work
hi Gato! I'm not sure if you'll see this or not, but I noticed that pretty much all information about tpof on fandom AND wiki is gone. Is there any reason for this? I may not be up to speed about something. I've been searching a lot and still can't find anything, my friend even tried helping me and found nothing. I remember going on fandom only a couple of months ago for tpof, so I'm not sure what's going on. Thank you :)
hi! im sure you have an answer by now, but if you don't, it's because some of the new rules on fandom wiki. Fandom ended up closing it, but the creators are trying to remake it in Miraheze! u/gvydblvd on reddit talks about it
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
I bought this game on itch.io when it first came out, and I've done some of the DLC content, but when discussing it with a friend, I was hoping I could look back on it only to find I no longer have the option to point at the announcer and my DLC saves are giving me errors ;n;
Hmmm! I googled the error message and it's telling me that it may have something to do with incompatible save data between devices? I'm really not sure why this would be affecting you though since an itchio version of the game wouldn't use cloud saving like steam might.
I'm very sorry I can't be more helpful, I've never seen this particular error before ^^;
If you'd like to look into it more yourself, a good search term would be "Renpy ImportError No module named Revertable" <- that's the name of the program the game was made in and then the name of the error message
I actually spent the night troubleshooting and what I found out was I had the game installed twice, so my saves were on both the old version (pre-DLC) and the updated version, and I had just launched the wrong version of the game, which made the save data incompatible with the version I was running
just get the game on steamunlocked LOOO
No <3, I've already paid for the game, I'm not paying more money to play it on the same device
its free on there bro
Sure but why would I want to start over?
Derek body pillow when?
I pirated this game muahhahhhahhahahahah
if you really enjoy it, please consider checking out my etsy store to get yourself a keychain :D https://gatobob.etsy.com/
Hihi :) I don't know if you'll see this since you're busy on your new game, but I just wanted to comment on how much I've surprisingly enjoyed your games. I'm a very sensitive person to all things horror and I thought I'd hate BTD, but something just clicked with it. Maybe some unresolved childhood trauma /lh, but Strade's route led me down a rabbit hole I never expected to fall down. The way you write these characters is genuienly so interesting and captivating, no matter how depraved some of them may be I just sit and stare at how all these characters are, their motives, how they justify what they do--it's something I never previously enjoyed, but you managed to make it immersive and something that I've been clinging onto ever since I found it. The characters are all complex in some way, and the new game you're working on has me so genuienly excited to see what more we can see from Strade and Ren in the YKMET release.
This is one of the few games that pushed me to getting a laptop that can support games, and I'm really glad I did. I haven't finished all of them, probably not even close to understanding the whole story presented to us with all the characters, lol, but I am absolutely looking forward to even more. Good luck on the development of YKMET, words alone can't express how excited I am to see this game come back to life, and I hope it get's the recognition it deserves.
(P.S., if you have any availible slots for beta testers when the new game is ready for testing I'd love to apply if wanted <3)
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I'm going to work as hard as I can to make something you can continue to enjoy!
Мой первый день в игре: Странно, но ничего сложного в выживании нет! Ты спокойно бродишь по локации и всё. Что может пойти не так?
Мой второй день в игре: *вызываю психолога и проктолога*
Игра просто огонь, я уже сбилась со счёта, сколько раз я её проходила. Визуальные эффекты, музыка что наводит атмосферу, красивые локации, разнообразные сюжеты... У каждого человека, что создаёт игру должна быть одна важная деталь - игра должна поглотить игрока своей атмосферой. И вы справились!! Я даже не знаю как мне описать свои ощущения, Гато, ты большая умничка!! Пожалуйста, не сдавайся, ждём твой следующий шедевр <3
oh and yeah I have a question... I always was wondered, what happens if during the auction sale, we start
threatening the announcer? I mean, we start hinting to him that we know his name, we know his identity, and we know his past. Will he kill us on the spot, or will he throw us into a cell and then interrogate us? I think he would be surprised to know that young student know his origin XDThank you so much for your generous compliments! 😭
As for your question- I'm afraid that's up to you! My policy is to offer the games only. I want people to feel free to imagine whatever they want outside of the game ^o^
That's nice to giving people their own decisions in happens! Thanks for answering me c:
Hi, sorry to bother you again Gato! but I have a question which may be a silly one.
Is Derek A poc or is he white and just able to tan easier.
Me and my friend were just wondering
I definitely imagine him as 'not white'. His complexion in the game is meant to appear as his baseline because he seems like the type to wear expensive sunblock LMAO
hi gatobob!! im, uh not sure if this is the right place to write something like this, but there isnt much other choices so.,, ill understand if u ignore this hsjsk,, but i just wanted to share the huge appreciation i have for all of your work and the fact u didn’t give up even after everything you’ve went through. it’s been really hard for me lately because i trusted people i shouldn’t have and ended up losing everyone and everything i cared about. it got to me so terribly i tried to take my life from the constant panic attacks i would have. i had nobody, so i tried to find something that could bring joy in my life again yet failed multiple times. i really convinced myself there will never be anything that’d make me feel happy again and that it all was pointless. i stumbled across your game just a few months ago when i was scrolling through tik tok and after playing both parts of btd and tpof i got so immersed into the plot and characters that i swear i felt alive again. i got especially attracted to ren if being honest haha,,, for some reason i even saw myself in him because of the fact that he loved someone who never really loved him at all and only abused him. i mean hshajakj i know that he isn’t such an innocent character either, but his backstory and his way of thinking is what made it hit so close to home. i used to be this way too when i was a kid and lived in an abusive household, and truly believed that they care about me no matter how much they hurt me.
btd was the first thing in years that made me feel something. i found out that ur remaking the first game and i swore that no matter what happens i wont do anything bad to myself just so i could witness the release of ykmet and be able to play it. even if its not free, ill save up my money just so i could buy it then!! im already saving up so i could get a subscription on your patreon and it still wouldnt be enough to show how grateful i am. i missed that feeling so much, i missed having something to live for. i spend my last night drawing a bunch of ren sketches and even making an animation w him, it was really fun!! i look at him and he just makes me so happy u have no idea haha <3 all of that made me realize how much of an impact your games made on my life, even though u dont know me at all. i found out about your story and how you went through an awful betrayal from your close people a few years ago and it made me want to just say thank you. gato, you’re such a strong and wonderful person and i hope u know how much your hard work means to some people. a few months ago i was a terribly ruined 18 year old girl that wanted to leave this world so badly and things wouldn't have changed if it wasnt for you. i really wish i could talk to you at least for some time, though i understand that you probably wouldn’t want to and thats okay. i’m looking up to u a lot and i hope one day i’ll finally get better. u didn’t give up, so i won’t either!! ₍ᐢ. ̫.ᐢ₎
thank u so much for everything gatobob. if u ever feel sad, just remember that u saved me, and im sure a thousands of other people by being here and sharing your content with the world. always keep going <3
-ellie
I'm so glad you're still here with us!!!
I know exactly what it feels like to have too many things go wrong, and to believe to your core that things will keep going wrong- that all there is in the future is pain.
When the thought of killing myself was the only thing that made me feel better, I talked to people. I told the few people I trusted and I sought out a therapist as well. It didn't instantly fix everything of course but it showed me the path to recovery and helped me believe in a future where things are better.
I'm so glad you've talked to me today! You took a chance on communicating with someone and that's EXACTLY the right thing to do. Please keep taking chances. Go places with people, attend events- I know that taking chances after being hurt so badly is extremely hard, but if you keep checking the shore, you never know what the tide may bring in.
One last thing too- be your own friend if you can. For me, this took a lot of work and practice. I used to be abusive to myself in my own head. My therapist taught me to argue with myself in my head and challenge every mean thought. It was exhausting. But it gets easier if you keep doing it. Once you treat yourself like a friend, it's not so scary to be alone. Behind closed doors you can find love instead of fear.
Good luck Ellie, and I really hope you enjoy all of my next games :)
i really needed to hear something like this, thank u so much <3 i will try to communicate with other people because i guess that distancing myself from the outside world does no good either, and what you said about abusing yourself in your head- that’s really something i did and maybe still do and i think im just realizing it now that you mentioned it. reading what you wrote made me feel less alone and gave me some more hope, and i will use it in the right way. you’re such a nice person and i’ll continue supporting you and your work for as long as i can. ૮꒰ྀི∩´ ᵕ `∩꒱ྀིა
and if you uhh.. ever want to check up the stuff i made with ren you can look up Alice Rou on youtube , im the one with 204k subs!! :’’) you obviously don’t have to if you don’t have much time, you must be busy enough so i totally understand. i’m just letting you know ^^
thank you a lot again. you made me incredibly happy today ❤️
um olá gatobob :) Joguei os três jogos BTD 1 e BTD 2 claro TPOF, sou brasileiro e desculpem se minha escrita estiver ruim estou usando um tradutor haha. Bom eu queria dar minha opinião sobre o jogo BTD 1 e no começo fiquei bem desconfortável e tenso com a narrativa do jogo, mas como um amante de terror fiquei simplesmente impressionado e admirado pelo seu trabalho :D as artes da rota strade são muito bonitas e interessantes, as mecânicas de jogo como sanity e life eram muito revolucionárias para as visual novels naquela época. minha rota favorita é strade e sano porque elas são as mais fodas e violentas, o objetivo do jogo é causar desconforto e agonia no jogador! Tenho que dizer que o papel é cumprido :) minha nota é 9/10 Agora minha opinião sobre BTD 2, achei as outras rotas fracas na narrativa mas a rota de Ren e Lawrence é a mais incrível e bem escrita. Na rota do Ren ele é muito chato e irritante com essa conversa de "vou ser o Strade 2.0" os finais são interessantes e as cenas de violência me deram tensão, outra coisa que eu amei na rota onde o jogador pode torturar o Ren! caramba foi ótimo. A rota do Lawrence foi incrível e muito bem escrita eu tenho que te dar esse crédito :) a personalidade e o ambiente da rota dele são diferentes, o lago é misterioso e muito macabro mas ajuda com a história do BTD? Minha nota para esse jogo é 7/10 por último TPOF, esse jogo é incrível em termos de terror e desconforto! as artes e ângulos são lindos e perfeitos😍 as novas mecânicas são melhoradas e boas. Na minha opinião, a rota do Derek é cheia de adrenalina e ação:) ele está muito bonito nos ângulos de arte e eu gosto da narrativa e do ambiente de sobrevivência no meio do deserto, a história principal me fez chorar:( A rota da Celia é bem escrita, o ambiente trancando naquele lugar abandonado dá uma atmosfera opressiva e desconhecida, também gostei que pode ter a rota secreta do Ren haha e a narrativa da rota da Celia é simples mas funciona muito bem! A rota do Manson é tensa, o ambiente da floresta junto com os sons dão vida ao suspense. Essa vibe de caçador e presa funciona na narrativa dessa rota! agora a rota mais nojenta e ótima do terror a DLC fox. Fazia tempo que não sentia nojo, agonia e desconforto extremo nessa rota! as descrições da tortura são bem descritivas......a cena do olho era podre e nojenta :/ mas eu estava imersa nessa narrativa dos programas macabros da Fox e seu público doente nas telas. o ambiente da sala escura com as telas brancas são perfeitos para o terror 
Thank you so much for your kinds words and very generous reviews!!!
As for your question, I consider everything in the games to be equally canon. It is up to the player to decide which story they like best and what happens after ^o^
My design for Ren is changing, along with Strade as well in the new game I am making, which is a remake of the BTD1 Strade route. You can see more information about the new game here-> https://www.dirtymurdergames.com/pgs/ykmetstrade.php
Hi hi i was trying to purchase this game and it kept declining my card :( i dont know if its because its charging me in USD and not CDN, is there any way this could be solved so I can buy this game? I'm on android so I can't buy off of steam :((
Oh no! I don't really know anything about the money system here on itchio. You will have to contact itchio support about that I think. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful ^^;
Hi hi hi, bought the game on steam already and it's amazing. Can't wait for the next one, Gato <3
I've heard you have patreon but I can't find it... could I get a link please?
No problem! My Patreon is patreon.com/gatobob - you may have to type it in directly as I am self-classified as adult content.
You can also find all my old art and free updates on my personal website https://www.dirtymurdergames.com/
Big thanks!
hi gato! i'm really invested in your games so much but i do wonder what time the game takes place since in btd2 ren was 21 and i'm assuming it was back in the early 2000s but in the price of flesh he was around in his 40s so i'm just really curious about when the price of flesh took place.
(i'm really sorry in advance if you feel uncomfortable answering questions right now but i just couldn't hold my curiosity)
I don't have a specific time period in mind :) I guess you could just classify them as 'relatively modern'
im having issues with opening on mac, when i open the application it just pops up on the bottom bar for a bit then goes away and i cant play it :( any tips??
To open a Renpy Game on mac, you may need to do some extra steps. If the issue is mac refusing to open an unsigned program, then follow these steps: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mh40616/mac
On top of that, your game must be placed in the applications folder. Applications that are not in the applications folder may not run.
Unfortunately it still doesn't work and I had to purchase it again on Steam to play it
heya gato! hope you don’t mind the question here :) i’m currently working on the fandom wiki for your games / stories, and i wanted to know if there’s anything in particular you don’t want put onto the wiki? certain art, info, or anything like that? it’s currently a bit of a mess but i’d love to get it a bit more cleaned up for the YKMET release!
Well, it's certainly up to you guys what you like to document and such so don't worry too much what I think!
Although if you want my personal opinion, I consider only TPOF and the information on my website [ dirtymurdergames.com ] to be 'current canon'.
Anything that I posted on my old social media and whatnot is subject to change for my newer games [ or was never said seriously in the first place, it was just social media posting after all ]
Lots of stuff in the old BTD games will be changed to fit my narratives better in YKMET as well. I know 'retcon' isn't the most popular thing but my personal motto is that 'improvement is better than consistency' haha!
i appreciate the reply!! thanks so much :)
heya - i was wondering if you’d be open to more consistent communication in terms of questions regarding the wiki so i’m able to keep the information as accurate as possible? i understand if not especially considering how busy you are at the moment but there would never be any rush. i mostly just want to make sure these characters are represented in an accurate way and a way you’re comfortable with. i’d be happy to provide an email or something.
I'm very sorry but I'm not ^^;
I don't really want to hammer out any details of my work. To me, the joy in art is every unique interpretation creating something new. I think it should be a joint process between artist and viewer where both contribute imagination.
Accuracy means very little to me and I am comfortable with my characters being interpreted in any way that gives people joy.
i totally understand :) thank you for the reply anyway!
Hey gato, I was looking for you because some one on tumblr is leaking your patreon, and I had no idea what to do about it or even if you wanted anything done. Can it be reported to tumblr as a copywright violation?
Oh, that's very sweet of you to worry! [ maybe even... evilsweet? sorry LMAO ]
I'm aware of a couple people leaking my Patreon information, but unfortunately there's nothing I can really do. Not even hollywood can prevent leaks haha!
I'm very lucky to have enough people legitimately supporting my work on my Patreon [ and buying my games/merch ] that I can survive and keep making things. The economy is really rough right now, and if people who can't afford to support me financially get some joy from seeing my leaked patreon content, then I suppose it's really not so bad.
Besides, with my big watermarks on everything, they're giving me free advertising anyway haha!
Hi Gatobob! I saw your tumblr was still down and am assuming it's gonna stay that way (hope all is okay!) I was wondering if you'd ever do commissions in the future and if so where from? Thank you for the endless amazing games and my husband Ren <3
I'm afraid I probably won't be offering commissions again! I'm working full time on the next game, then I'll be working as tech support and creating new merch after it's released :D
All of my social media accounts are gone and I have no intention of ever returning to it in general, but I do have a currently updated personal website www.dirtymurdergames.com where you can find info about my next game, what my progress currently looks like, and stuff like my old art arranged by year :)
Oh wow!!! That’s amazing!!! While I’m sad commissions are gone I’m so happy that you’re doing well mentally and wish you the best always!!! Can’t wait to see what more you bring <333
does anyone know how to get this last piece of Concept Art? I think I've unlocked everything else (memelord and I think all Fox content). It just says "I want blood"
Sorry,But I do not know how to get this art, but could you tell me how you got the art with Lawrence?
Hi Gatobob!
I love your art, especially your coloring and backgrounds! I have a question for you- will Strade's remake from BTD1 that you're working on delve into his cameo on TPOF? Also, will there be more interactive Ren routes in it? Lastly, will it delve into Lawrence from BTD2 as well, or is it solely focused on Strade? Sorry for so many questions!
I love your work and I plan to support your patreon once I get paid this week haha. Thank you for taking the time to read this and/or answer any questions!
It won't delve much into the TPOF stuff, and it won't involve Lawrence at all. It's more like just an expanded version of Strade's original route. Ren does get more screentime in it though :)
If everything goes well with this game, Lawrence will get his own game next!
Awesome! I'm so looking forward to it!
