doubt you ever look here anymore but just wanted to say i hope one day you return to this game its one of the best games on here even if it takes years to return to making please finish it take your time you are amazing
I have two main points to make about this game. Firstly, the horror aspects with Sasha are VERY unsettling. Very well done. And far more importantly, this is BY FAR the funniest erotic game I have ever played. All of the little animations and the sound design have made me full belly laugh several times and several other times have caused me pain trying to stop myself from making too much noise that my roommates try to investigate. FANTASTICALLY made.
I hope stormside continues eventually in the future. Maybe decrease the branching path since it is a little too much for one developer to handle. While it is amazing (probably the best branching mechanic I ever come across in AVN), it is unnecessary. I love this game for the story, and characters. Maybe Atem could decrease the branching paths, more linear storyline with only choices being what type of relationships you want with the girls. personally, I think the submissive route offer the best of both worlds and keep the game main identity intact with you being the magistrate. Slave route is the worse imo since you essentially disregard any relationship between characters.
I'm glad to see this project show signs of life again. I do hope the author continues the existing story, but narrow down the branching perhaps. It always seemed a bit too ambitious for one person, in my opinion. Having a choice with whom and what kind of relationship you wish to have, in addition to letting the player roleplay a bit, just enough to make us feel as if our choices matter, is already excellent. No need for four wildly different outcomes for every situation.
Before someone throws a molotov at me, I think Olivia might actually have a soft spot that we'll get to utilize and ultimately make her ours later on in the game. Just like Diana in the Lyanna series by DWR, I'd say. If my prediction is true, then I'd be one happy man
Everyone can join in on discord, donate if you wish, since Atem has had a harsh 2025 they can use all the support we can give. Whether you want to be a top tier member or just send some moneys their way; it will help in the long run for their well being.
As for the game, we need to be patient and give Atem time to recoup from everything they have gone through. In time, we may see more, but for all of us who appreciate the individual efforts made for this game, we must respect Atem's well-being and allow them the time they need.
check the comments below for the discord; im 100% new to it so i have no clue how it works. You can add into the server from here.
Although it's a shame that this game will probably be put on hiatus for a couple years, and I'll miss all these characters(Especially Sasha 😭), you giving an update and actual hints on what you might make next gives me hope beyond my own imagination.
I'm sure that no matter what you make, everyone will love it, so here's hoping it turns out well!
Also, I was hoping to ask if you remember and older game from about a year ago. Where you were a demon king, but for each girl you corrupted, they turned into one of your succubus slaves. I remember it having a decent storyline, and I haven't seen it on itch.io since. If you know what it is, please tell me.
All the games I played around that time are mostly a blur but I might be able to find it in my old saves, do you know what it was called? Or maybe a couple words? Also, if you can't really remember that much the way to find all your saves for all Ren'py games is to go to "C:\Users\"yourwindowsusername"\AppData\Roaming\RenPy" in the files explorer, and you might be able to find it in there if the title isn't abbreviated or something like that, or it strikes a memory. If you're mobile, though, there isn't really a way to find all those save files unless you hook it up to a pc and go through a whole process to look at appdata I think.
I don't think it was a RenPy game. I remember the image for the game was a heroine on one side, on the other was that heroine as a succubus. I know it had Demon in the name.
I am glad to hear you are alive! You have made one of my favorite pieces of media of all time, so I am sure I will enjoy what ever you do next!
My understanding of the itch situation is that you are probably good considering the amount of detail you went into about prior consent in the forms.
I personally would be ok if stormside was more visual novel-y, but given that I would go down the submissive routes with everyone, that may not be realistic to say. I wonder if you could collect route data?
love the game! i read you're most recent patreon post, so i hope you're doing well! but i love the game so much, i was looking to join your discord, but all the invites are invalid, did you get rid of your discord or
i figure it's just probably expired since it's been such a long time since he's been active with keeping up with updates and the game in general (for good and understandable reason) that the link expired and he hasn't added a fresh one
i dont either; i just clicked the link and read the post.
LSS; Atem had a lot of life shit, they are alive, but any updates may be unseen for sometime. Give them time, space, and support; know that in time we may see more but for now we just need to be patient.
I'm actually playing the game with my boyfriend and it's been amazing! Want to become Patreon members but we don't have that economy yet so I'm going to write a response to you here. Honestly the branching storyline is no where near the reason we play it, it's all about that sweet sweet humour. If you continue the game but decides to stop making it more branching than it already is we would be completely fine with that. The game is awesome because you're a comedy fucking genius. We actually laughed as the bransching story line comment in the description of the game and often joke about it since it's really over the top and actually not really necessarily. We're going to support you either way and if you're still making it when we have a better economy we'll definitely become Patreon members for sure. Some people will definitely be assholes, oblivious or mistrusting but what you've been through could happen to anyone and what you've felt is understandable. Yes you could have handled it differently but as we say in Sweden "Lätt att säga i efterhand.", easy to say after it all had happened our whatever you call it. Take your time, it's easy to say from the outside but don't feel pressured we all love your game and "om man väntar på något gott väntar man aldrig för länge" if you're waiting for something good you'll never wait too long ;)
This might be a controversial opinion—but, the timing of Atemsiel's return (coinciding with itch's de-indexing and subsequent re-indexing of nsfw games) stinks.
I can't help but feel like they are just trying to continue milking their patreon supporters. And I am saying this as someone who hopes for the continued development of this game.
If he had IRL problems, I think the very least he could have done was to inform the people who were financially supporting development instead of leading them on and misleading supporters to think that an update is imminent.
As it stands, I find it very difficult to want to to support the developer. I hope Atemsiel can be more consistent in the future or, at the very least, more transparent in terms of communication
Atemsiel, as i don't follow on patreon, will write it here. Read what happened. Hope all is now going better, even i really get what you said, similar situation but with other debts. About Stormside, is your story, take your time to refocus, and if you think is better to restart, make changes, or something else, just continue and do it. Creation is enjoyment too, dont fight against what you love to satisfy another one. Hating later whay you create is a pain, own experience.

Can't agree more, Mario
who is yalls favorite?
hikari and cassie
Hikari and Olivia.
Before someone throws a molotov at me, I think Olivia might actually have a soft spot that we'll get to utilize and ultimately make her ours later on in the game. Just like Diana in the Lyanna series by DWR, I'd say. If my prediction is true, then I'd be one happy man
Hikari and Sasha are the best for me

Oh my GOD, they're alive!!

Love the game so far! Especially Sasha.

In case he does not reply, his discord is still there. He is not on it, but it is very active with fans of this game.
ah i see, because when ever i click the links, it says invalid invit
I am not sure why 🤔. I have been connected to the discord a VERY long time so I cannot check.
i figure it's just probably expired since it's been such a long time since he's been active with keeping up with updates and the game in general (for good and understandable reason) that the link expired and he hasn't added a fresh one
theres a link farther down that gives access to the active discord. I'd share it but im lazy and its late. Its in the comments tho.
Glad you're back, Atemsiel. Hope you're not overworking yourself.
From what people are talking about, Atem is, at least, not AWOL anymore.
Honestly I'm just glad, any update was desperately needed by the whole community
For everyone who wanted to be updated, Atem posted on his Patreon, Heres the kink, i mean link
https://www.patreon.com/posts/sup-guys-its-for-135780016
Did't have access to patreon.
Can you tell what the matter there?
i dont either; i just clicked the link and read the post.

I really don't want this to be the case but you've got a point. Regardless, the tldr seems to be that Stormside in it's current form is done for.
