Thanks for playing the game and for your concern :)
Don't worry, we're trying to slow down a little bit, doing updates every 2-4 days instead of every 1-3 days. I think it's a better pace to keep the team healthy and motivated.
is the strip club a death sentence because you can't actually use it to feed? Kinda wish it gave ya a warning or something, or ya know. allowed me to still do other things.
The game is still updating but boy oh boy at how speed! Currently there are - if I'm not mistaken - four official routes you can choose. They aren't finished but you can see how much thoughts are put in here.
The only bug for me is that the Gallery doesn't seemed to work... but since it's 0.132 game this might change until 0.2 I think ^^
The visual - 10 from 10, AMAZING! On Patreon you get updated quickly about the changes and I can't wait what more might happen soon.
Hello, tks for playing the game and taking your time to comment.
Yeah, I'm trying to upload as fast as possible. The CG gallery not showing up is not a bug, I disabled it 'cause I haven't had the time to implement it yet, once I finish a route I'll make it available with all the pictures.
I love this game, I can't wait for the new updates to come and I want to say something to the developers, as a Turk I want to play this game in Turkish and if you want to make your game in Turkish I can help you
This is the first game in the last half a year that caused me an unusual feeling of chagrin from the fact that I didn't have enough. (the last one was Baldur's Gate 3 lol)
In my personal top, this game is exactly in the top 5 of all 18+ that there is. I'm looking forward to these ambitions that the game has. If you believe the checkboxes from the Status section, there are even more branches and passing options waiting for us.
I want to believe that this is really a project that you are burning with and want to finish, and not just a "milking cow" for money. At first glance, this is not the case. I hope that this will continue to be the case.
This game gave me an indescribable feeling. I felt good. And no, I'm not describing my orgasm lol. It's something higher. The last time I enjoyed it so much was when I played "Not my body!". And Vesper now literally shares the first place with Aisha.
There are a couple of things that I noticed. For some reason, when choosing a random client in the whore's branch, the first time he pays + 50 money, then + 5. Is this option necessary for pumping, and not for earning money? Or are there any other criteria? I had to grind personal scenes to buy myself a drink and throw up in the toilet.
And I haven't quite figured out how to use an anal toy yet. I bought it, but Vesper never used it when jerking off. There are no options either...
I am really looking forward to the game in steam, I will definitely buy it. I would have supported it earlier, but payments to your active sites are not available in my country.
I also hope that there will be some kind of roadmap so that you can roughly understand what to expect from the game and how quickly it plans to develop.
Thank you for what you are doing. Please don't stop. I hope you finish this masterpiece.
Thanks for playing my game, I'm glad you're enjoying it ^___^
1) About the "milking cow" problem and 18+ games: yeah, I understand your concern. I see a lot of 18+ games that take way longer than they need and seem like they're getting nowhere, like an infinite milking machine. But, be sure that my end goal is to create a product competitive enough to publish on Steam, and I am trying to get there. Without the money from patrons we would've never been able to quit our jobs to focus entirely on this game. We are only 2 people: (Wyse) the programmer, PR, writer, gamedesigner, art director etc.. and (Zin) the lead artist. To produce art at this level and write something that can get a reaction from players... well, it's not easy. I wish I could snap my fingers and be done with it, but that's not how it works. We are on Discord, working our asses off everyday. 15+ hours a day. Everyone who subscribes gets Discord access and can chat with me whenever they wish to do so.
2) Random clients: They give you 50+ money and other amounts if you don't have 100% fatigue. If you try doing it at 100% fatigue it will give you almost no money. This is to prevent players from just spamming the random clients without taking a rest.
3) Anal tentacle: The masturbation option is not implemented yet. BUT, if after buying it you sleep in the evening or night, a scene can trigger with it (it's a 40% chance to trigger, so you might have to sleep multiple times.) There currently 4 different scenes with it.
4) Roadmap: It's developing as quickly as humanly possible. I'm trying to focus right now on the things that take less time to implement. Once I have laid out the foundation for the game I'll start making small roadmaps letting people know what's coming next.
Again, tks for playing. I'd recommend you follow us on Patreon for free, and come back in a few weeks to play the game again.
By the way, it's amazing that with such a small team you have such a level of quality. I haven't found any bugs yet. The visual style is very pleasing to the eye. I'm not a fan of girls with bangs, but I literally fell in love with Vesper's looks.
And the last question, is there a wardrobe system planned? And if so, is this just a set of outfits for general evaluations, or would you risk working through each scene for the current outfit? How it is done in Not my body.
I'm sorry to use another game as an example, it's just that your game literally reminds me of NMB. And now I'm a fan of yours too.
Yep, wardrobe function is planned. The first outfit will be implemented if/when we reach $2000 on Patreon as a milestone celebration ($110 left to reach it.) If we don't reach that... I'll do it anyway, just at a later time :P
We'll start replacing her clothes in the HUB, going through each scene would be chaos, 'cause we have 1000+ scenes where Vesper appears... imagine, a variant for each clothing... we would spend years replacing them.
I have contradictory fealings with his game. On the one hand game is great, really I like it a lot, on the other hand the day limit ruins the whole game making it annoying and super unpleasant to play.
Any chance you add a setting to enable/disable the day limit? This would allow any type of player to enjoy the game.
In the adult game community I think most players enjoy more unlocking everything without a time limit tbh
I would buy the game glady but sadly the day limit is a major deal breaker for me and I'm sure I'm not alone on this so I really hope you agree on this small request.
Hello, thanks for the input. I'm glad you enjoyed some of it ^___^.
Sorry if the day mechanics is a deal breaker for you, but this game follows the formula of the Princess maker game/Volcano Princess/True Love games where you choose a main route (prostitute/journalist/stripper/etc) do a lot of side quests (become an alcoholic, an exhibitionist, a drug addict, a slave etc) reach an ending/die, and restart to see other routes/different events on a NG+ (with raised status and many different/hidden options).
The sequel won't have a day-limit, maybe you'll enjoy that one more. But for this game there is a reason for it, if you happen to play it I'm sure you'll find out.
Hi, I was reading other comments and apparently the patreon version and later on steam has no time limit. Is a misunderstanding or game will indeed have no time limit in the paid version?
Hello, already answered your question, you might have not read it. You can play up to 90 days in the paid version, which is the final day. Then you get an ending based on your status/choices. The game resets, and you play a NG+ following other routes with increased status. (NG+ is not implemented yet).
Eventually (AFTER) you get the true ending, you'll be able to play WITHOUT the 90 day time-limit, so you can keep playing for as long as you want.
*Lust & Hunger 2, the sequel will not follow the same mechanics, you will not have a time limit.
Good afternoon developers! I wanted to purchase a version without time limits. But unfortunately, developer support sites are blocked in my country. Can you tell me if I can get the full version anyway?
I was wondering in the future could there be a relationship route with a vampire fangirl? I think it would be interesting to have her not only be a source of blood but a relationship whereas the mc is dominant but she still loving.
Is there any other way to get the latest version of the game without a time limit for people who do not have a patreon, perhaps the game will appear somewhere besides this site, for example steam?(please take my money)
Tks, I'm glad you're enjoying the game. We'll launch it on steam when the game is not so early in development, right now it's still on version 0.1. Just follow us here and I'll make a big post when we launch it on steam ^___^
I'll be honest, this game hooked me from the first time I saw its visuals. And let me tell you that the lines and art elements are really beautiful, but there is a lack of smooth animation for now.
As for future updates, I hope that this game will have an interesting storyline because I feel like there isn't much to Lore right now, but it's understandable that the game has just been launched for a short time. The last thing that I really hope to have is a soundtrack because, from the visuals and the atmosphere within the story, it is very suitable to have sound in the background.
But no matter what the end result of the game is, I want to play the full version. And lastly, I wish you all happiness in making the game, good luck.
Thank you. Yes, there's no animation as of right now and no soundtrack. It will be implemented in the future.
Indeed, I'm focusing more on the setup to build the lore, none of the important characters have been introduced, and if they have their storyline hasn't. Ex: Lily the witch has a storyline, she's not just behind the counter saying "Hello, buy my potions." Heh... anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying it, come back to play it in a few weeks and I'm sure we'll have progressed a lot. Tks for taking your time to play this game ^_____^
I played pretty extensively last night, playing all the way to Night 0 twice over! (Once trying to honor Helena's wishes of staying a good person by pursuing journalism, and the other throwing all caution out and going hard down the Prostitution path).
Your writing is very nice, really creating a connection with what Vesper is feeling and her general personality. I felt myself drawing myself toward what I knew were her preferred hobbies because she was so likable.
And the Vampire genre is a treat. I picked up on a few Vampire the Masquerade (or Vampire the Requiem) influences in the general dark and grimy tone, with a lovely general sense of dread.
The following might feel a bit like a barrage of negativity, since I back-loaded every recommendation and bug report, but nonetheless I'm signed up for the Patreon and will be sure to follow development!
Bug Reports:
Bug 1: Reloaded save, blood bag gone but hunger not fixed.
Further proof that players will optimize the fun out of a game, I got into the habit of spacing out my feedings as far as possible. So I would buy a blood bag from the witch, and drink it only when my Hunger was at 100% and Sanity at 80%. After drinking the blood bag, I would save. Bringing both down to reasonable levels.
Later, when I tried reloading those saves, the blood bag was consumed and gone, but the Hunger and Sanity were still as if blood hadn't been consumed, making the save salvageable.
Bug 2: Possibly just unreleased content, but Journalist and Bartender experience don't increase no matter how much those jobs are worked.
Bug 3: Ever Sleepy. Sometimes I would be forced to take the first activity Sleeping even when Rested. This typically followed several days of not resting, but Energy was kept by regularly using Study and Relax. I would also sometimes not be required to sleep despite having 100% exhaustion.
Bug 4: Missing pictures. CG gallery is completely blank.
Recommendation:
I noticed there weren't any stat checks or activities associated with Strength. The one check that seems like it might be relevant (disarming the mugger) used Speed, as well. It might be easier to consolidate Strength and Speed into a single stat, calling it Physical or Athletics or Prowess.
The barrier of entry to a lot of activities (prostitution, seducing the guard, getting drunk) seems a bit high and ensures the first 10 days or so will be spent grinding up Lust points in order to pursue those routes. Removing the minimum lust requirement for the first stages (and reducing the cost of alcohol) would probably make the early game more enjoyable.
It's a little unclear of what (if any) stats affect job performance, or what decides how much money is earned from Journalism/Bartending. Transparency would help with planning.
A lot of the grind is pretty tiring. Every scene is exciting the first time you see it, but once you're required to see it 5 to 10 times in order to raise the stats enough to unlock the next scene, it gets tiring. Lowering stat requirements would help a lot with this, like having the Lust state increase on every 5th interval instead of every 10th, or having Alcoholic increase every time you max out drunkenness instead of every 5th time.
And can gun make a return? Gun was such a fun character, with an explosive personality!
Hello, thanks for your review. I'm glad you felt a connection to Vesper. Writing her is tough, but I think I'm going in the right direction.
It'll only get better once I start the main storyline, add endings, and introduce important characters.
The game is pretty early in development, so there is still a lot to work in terms of making the game balanced. I'll look into those bugs you mentioned and to try and make the game more enjoyable as well. Again, thanks for your support.
Hello, yes! In the future we'll make a steam version. Right now the game is too early in development to compete in the Steam library. But follow us here, and download the game from time to time, I'll keep uploading this build with new content, even if you can't pay for the Patreon version it should still let you play 1/3 of the first playthrough. Thanks for taking your time to play it ^___^
Just wanted to say, keep up the good work. I see these daily updates as someone with passion working actively on this game. Do remember to take care of yourself and I appreciate your hard work. Loving the game and it's style.
It seems some people are getting false positives because of the embedded .PCK within the .exe (which was to be expected). So I uploaded a .rar version with the separate .PCK. That should stop any virus or trojan warnings from windows defender.
Question do you have plans to release it to another platform like android I was starting to try it but my pc died and I doubt I will get another one in the near future.
Please request the assistance of a techno-Necromancer.
Of course, I'm focusing on the PC version atm, but an android version is planned for the future. I'm sorry to hear about your PC, I had a laptop die on me in the past, it sucked.
Interesting game. But could you please make the instant text option do what it says. There is almost half a second delay for a three line text to fully appear.
I never understood why anyone would even think about displaying text like a karakoke sing along text. Just because it is possibly with computers? Do people really read at the front of the appearing text? That might be doable for very slow appearing text. But if it is reasonably fast, it distracts because of the apparant movement. And you cannot "prefetch" from the corner of the eyes, hindering reading speed. Our eyes move in jumps, not continously - and as a triva, many people are not aware of that fact, or that they are blind while the eyes move.
Tks for your input, next build the text is set as instant. Tell me what else bothers you in the future when you replay the game. Nobody complained about the text speed before so I didn't really think too much of it. :)
A history box or back button for displayed text would be nice.
There are engines that do not even have "instant" text. Which is kinda mind boggling, since "instant" text is the normality in computers. You have to take extra effort to display text not at once, but putting each word or letter after the next. Imagine a website displayed like that. Or any text document.
Are there really people wanting text displayed like this? I skimmed a bit on the net, and apparantly the majority sets this to instant, the instant they open any vn type game. So why is this even in games, and if so, why is the default not instant?
I would wanna bet, some famous early vns used that style and when the genre was popularized, they just copied that feature without thinking if that feature enhances the game. It is not, imho, it is distracting, for the simple reason of how our eyes move when we read text. While I am not a T-Rex, I do react to movement such as moving/appearing text. Maybe it was voiced vn and they had the text appear at the speed of the voice but the vn without voice acting did not change the feature. Some do utter some sound effects while the text appears.
Probably some idiosyncracy, like people using wasd with their pinky on shift, instead of resting position with index on f. I get cramps if I try to rest my pinky on shift with index on d. And I need the little bump on f to secure my position. There I believe the historical reason was some kind of keyboard barrier how many keys you could press at the same time and shift was counted extra, so they did not use esdf, but wasd to get access to that extra key.
Yeah, a backlog and save slots have been on my mind for a while. I'll add them in the near future.
Right now I'm focusing on adding content and polishing the things we have. Like adding other places to visit to actually spend the money you earn working. (Buying blood at the hospital doesn't make any sense, it was a temporary option since we don't have a shop yet.)
Tks for your comment and I hope you visit this game again in the future, I'm adding stuff daily ^__^

i have a weird bug were half the screen is just cut off it kinda makes it real difficult to play
Hi, go to %appdata%/starhoundstudios/lust&hunger and delete the shader_cache folder. See if that helps.
i'm on pc
Somehow the game can't be played on Android? is there a trick?
I don't think so, I haven't had the time to make an android port yet. It'll come in the future once I have some spare time :)
I love the art, can you please tell me who the artist is?
Nice art and interesting story! I just hope that the authors won't burn out due to such a high pace of updates. :)
Thanks for playing the game and for your concern :)
Don't worry, we're trying to slow down a little bit, doing updates every 2-4 days instead of every 1-3 days. I think it's a better pace to keep the team healthy and motivated.
Anybody knows about an emulator so i could run this game on Android
)Hi, can you help me how to download it for android?
Nope were in the same boat
Nope were in the same boat
definitely keepin' my eyes on this game, it has a lot of promise and i look forward to seein' the finished product~
Would the game be free once it's fully completed or would there be a pricetag? :3
is the strip club a death sentence because you can't actually use it to feed? Kinda wish it gave ya a warning or something, or ya know. allowed me to still do other things.
1) because you can't actually use it to feed?
Hello, the strip club and all other routes are still under development, this game is only 2 months old.
So, "you can't use it to feed right now".
Sorry if this caused you any frustration, feeding there will be implemented soon.
2) allowed me to still do other things.
You can still feed in the park, do all other events, buy blood from the witch's shop, visit the stores, work etc.
I hope if you come back in the future the game is more to your liking ^____^
I would love this game to be on steam the story interest me.
In the future it will be, right now it's still too early to compete there :) , tks for your interest.
You there aren't enough vampire games out there.
The game is still updating but boy oh boy at how speed!
Currently there are - if I'm not mistaken - four official routes you can choose. They aren't finished but you can see how much thoughts are put in here.
The only bug for me is that the Gallery doesn't seemed to work... but since it's 0.132 game this might change until 0.2 I think ^^
The visual - 10 from 10, AMAZING!
On Patreon you get updated quickly about the changes and I can't wait what more might happen soon.
Hello, tks for playing the game and taking your time to comment.
Yeah, I'm trying to upload as fast as possible. The CG gallery not showing up is not a bug, I disabled it 'cause I haven't had the time to implement it yet, once I finish a route I'll make it available with all the pictures.
Ahhh thank you for replying to my comment!
And good to know that the gallery thing isn't a bug ^^
is there a way i can play everything because in this version of the game many choices r blurred out
hi, the latest version is on Patreon, the game is not completed, it's under development.
where can I get the paid full game?
is the LESBIAN route deep and good?
I love this game, I can't wait for the new updates to come and I want to say something to the developers, as a Turk I want to play this game in Turkish and if you want to make your game in Turkish I can help you
You can do it
God, it's beautiful.

Understood. Thanks
is there any lesbian romances
Loving all the work you're doing. I can't wait for the exhibitionism to be expanded!
thank you, exhibitionism will be a major part in the game, like... dozens and dozens of scenes in different scenarios.
Good afternoon developers! I wanted to purchase a version without time limits. But unfortunately, developer support sites are blocked in my country. Can you tell me if I can get the full version anyway?
I was wondering in the future could there be a relationship route with a vampire fangirl? I think it would be interesting to have her not only be a source of blood but a relationship whereas the mc is dominant but she still loving.

Review of Patreon version 0.1.23.0

Bug 3: Ever Sleepy. Sometimes I would be forced to take the first activity Sleeping even when Rested. This typically followed several days of not resting, but Energy was kept by regularly using Study and Relax. I would also sometimes not be required to sleep despite having 100% exhaustion.
Bug 4: Missing pictures. CG gallery is completely blank.
Recommendation:
I noticed there weren't any stat checks or activities associated with Strength. The one check that seems like it might be relevant (disarming the mugger) used Speed, as well. It might be easier to consolidate Strength and Speed into a single stat, calling it Physical or Athletics or Prowess.
The barrier of entry to a lot of activities (prostitution, seducing the guard, getting drunk) seems a bit high and ensures the first 10 days or so will be spent grinding up Lust points in order to pursue those routes. Removing the minimum lust requirement for the first stages (and reducing the cost of alcohol) would probably make the early game more enjoyable.
It's a little unclear of what (if any) stats affect job performance, or what decides how much money is earned from Journalism/Bartending. Transparency would help with planning.
A lot of the grind is pretty tiring. Every scene is exciting the first time you see it, but once you're required to see it 5 to 10 times in order to raise the stats enough to unlock the next scene, it gets tiring. Lowering stat requirements would help a lot with this, like having the Lust state increase on every 5th interval instead of every 10th, or having Alcoholic increase every time you max out drunkenness instead of every 5th time.
And can gun make a return? Gun was such a fun character, with an explosive personality!
Hello, thanks for your review. I'm glad you felt a connection to Vesper. Writing her is tough, but I think I'm going in the right direction.
It'll only get better once I start the main storyline, add endings, and introduce important characters.
The game is pretty early in development, so there is still a lot to work in terms of making the game balanced. I'll look into those bugs you mentioned and to try and make the game more enjoyable as well. Again, thanks for your support.
Hello, yes! In the future we'll make a steam version. Right now the game is too early in development to compete in the Steam library. But follow us here, and download the game from time to time, I'll keep uploading this build with new content, even if you can't pay for the Patreon version it should still let you play 1/3 of the first playthrough. Thanks for taking your time to play it ^___^
Maaaan, will u make cheats on this thing? I wanted it so much....
Can it run on Android if joiplay is used?
Nope, windows only for now. Soon I'll make an android build.
how do you become lilys pet?
get your lust to level 4 (naughty) by masturbating/buying lust potions/becoming a prostitute
This is making my circuits... Feel..... Damp?
I guess.. that's.... good?
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can't to start the prostitute route
You need to have lust at level 1, just masturbate a little and it will go up. Or buy lust potions in the shop.
Thanks
no problem :)
Just wondering, will there be a hunt option. Like killing people and becoming a monster type of choice in the future.
Yes! I'm adding a new location soon, the park, and I'll start the hunting mechanic there.
cool game but can you remove time limit
Patreon version doesn't have a time limit.
Just wanted to say, keep up the good work. I see these daily updates as someone with passion working actively on this game. Do remember to take care of yourself and I appreciate your hard work. Loving the game and it's style.
🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹
Also if we find any bugs do we report them here?
Is it possible to buy the full version on here?
Hello, Jaybay, tks for your interest. Nope, only on Patreon. You can buy it there and cancel the subscription if/when you're not happy with it.
I have had a few bad expreinces with Patron in the past, also part of me would rather just pay a larger amount now then pay all the little amounts
It seems some people are getting false positives because of the embedded .PCK within the .exe (which was to be expected). So I uploaded a .rar version with the separate .PCK. That should stop any virus or trojan warnings from windows defender.
Question do you have plans to release it to another platform like android I was starting to try it but my pc died and I doubt I will get another one in the near future.
Please request the assistance of a techno-Necromancer.
Of course, I'm focusing on the PC version atm, but an android version is planned for the future. I'm sorry to hear about your PC, I had a laptop die on me in the past, it sucked.
Hi Devs, I am new to this platform. I just wanna ask, do I have to purchase every time a new update comes out?
Hey, man. Sent you an email explaining how it works.
Interesting game. But could you please make the instant text option do what it says. There is almost half a second delay for a three line text to fully appear.
I never understood why anyone would even think about displaying text like a karakoke sing along text. Just because it is possibly with computers? Do people really read at the front of the appearing text? That might be doable for very slow appearing text. But if it is reasonably fast, it distracts because of the apparant movement. And you cannot "prefetch" from the corner of the eyes, hindering reading speed. Our eyes move in jumps, not continously - and as a triva, many people are not aware of that fact, or that they are blind while the eyes move.
Sure, I'll fiddle with it, tks for the input :)
Tks for your input, next build the text is set as instant. Tell me what else bothers you in the future when you replay the game. Nobody complained about the text speed before so I didn't really think too much of it. :)
A history box or back button for displayed text would be nice.
There are engines that do not even have "instant" text. Which is kinda mind boggling, since "instant" text is the normality in computers. You have to take extra effort to display text not at once, but putting each word or letter after the next. Imagine a website displayed like that. Or any text document.
Are there really people wanting text displayed like this? I skimmed a bit on the net, and apparantly the majority sets this to instant, the instant they open any vn type game. So why is this even in games, and if so, why is the default not instant?
I would wanna bet, some famous early vns used that style and when the genre was popularized, they just copied that feature without thinking if that feature enhances the game. It is not, imho, it is distracting, for the simple reason of how our eyes move when we read text. While I am not a T-Rex, I do react to movement such as moving/appearing text. Maybe it was voiced vn and they had the text appear at the speed of the voice but the vn without voice acting did not change the feature. Some do utter some sound effects while the text appears.
Probably some idiosyncracy, like people using wasd with their pinky on shift, instead of resting position with index on f. I get cramps if I try to rest my pinky on shift with index on d. And I need the little bump on f to secure my position. There I believe the historical reason was some kind of keyboard barrier how many keys you could press at the same time and shift was counted extra, so they did not use esdf, but wasd to get access to that extra key.

Yeah, a backlog and save slots have been on my mind for a while. I'll add them in the near future.
Right now I'm focusing on adding content and polishing the things we have. Like adding other places to visit to actually spend the money you earn working. (Buying blood at the hospital doesn't make any sense, it was a temporary option since we don't have a shop yet.)
Tks for your comment and I hope you visit this game again in the future, I'm adding stuff daily ^__^
