@reuutsuho let me say you have done a great thing here and my you days be filled with joy and you luck be 20 times over.
-
Don't even try to report it, Tori, I will keep uploading it if it goes down.
-
I don't really see how hard it is to wait 2 weeks before using this. Is it too much to ask to respect Tori in that regard? They're being kind enough to not care (or I assume threaten a DMCA? Going off what I read) as long as their sales aren't affected. 2 weeks isn't that much time to wait.

I do not trade. I will provide assets when possible.🌹

I dont see the problem in waiting or not plus if it were not for the creator of these things we would not have nice avi's and before I also get attacked YES I did download it from here ..HOWEVER I also did go and buy it for myself after I tried it out So please be respectful on here and to Tori or any creator you get stuff from~

I don't know if workupload is working for people or not so here's three more mirrors

https://mega.nz/file/UItHEAJa#S9g5bj8bd6tXiFIkNnMv-BndCmENPtXlOphuWfjjN0UEve already said this model is selling "extremely well" so I feel no sympathy for them trying to take this down, maybe don't charge the price of Baldur's Gate 3 for a model that's gonna have more DLC than a Koei Tecmo game.

@Testing12 Nah we wanted to see if it sells first before we added stuff like that, it does.
Gun is being made holdable and shootable, also normal legs planned. The Gun update is free ofc.
The laser turret will probably also get a free update, maybe with head tracking..?
Any maybe for the facetracked version make it aim at wherever your eyes track, not sure yet... -
Are you expecting free work or something? Sorry, for not selling 30 kitbashed Avatars.
The original Avatar is good, it's being sold, then we work on an attachment. Of course we expect to get paid for the newly made thing.
If we sell 3000 attachment for Runa, then of course the full thing will be expensive af but it also means we made 3000 new things LOL.What kind of logic is this supposed to be? Robo GF Add-On was also 2 Sets of booba, a pussy-plate, a dick and an interior animated pump.
I also put a lot of value into making sure that the released Avatars don't drop your friends FPS by 30 for just existing. Okay, optimization is not a cool funny feature to use, but it's pretty damn important and makes the creation process really hard and lengthy sometimes.Cyant01 for example is 64k Poly, sorry but I'm really proud of that fact. Making completely new legs will be the work of 30-40% of making an Avatar from scratch again, how would you price that for example?

You've really dropped the ball with that response.
No, I'm not asking you to release free addons. As a matter of fact, I've purchased several of your avatars (including Runa) and accessories along with several accessories made by others.
HOWEVER...there is a limit on how much I'm willing to spend for a single avatar/accessory, Runa and especially the accessories available to her have been hitting those limits more often than most other base models and their accessories. As a result, customizing Runa gets more expensive than most avatars and their respective accessories that I tend to buy from...BOOTH.
Not the Gumroad kitbash trash that you seem to be referring to.
And I've decided to be more supportive and bought a lot of avatars this year (nearly 40 throughout 2023, last I checked), along with accessories and additional outfits for some of them.
I was thinking about actually buying Cyant this month, but this...

I may have to reconsider after that.
But if you want a suggestion for the price of those legs, I'd say no more than half of Cyant's base price.
Honestly, you and Tori could've sold Runa with the robogf upgrade built-in as an entirely separate NSFW version for a bit more than the default Runa, let the customer decide on which version to buy, and that would've been more acceptable (as long as it's not nearly double or triple the price of the SFW version). Several creators on Booth have already been doing that for ages, and it works for them.
Bonus points if you'd have made the SFW B0-0BA upgrade a part of the default Runa in the beginning and add $10 to the base price to compensate.

Of course we expect to get paid for the newly made thing.You couldn't have missed the point harder if you tried, nobody is asking you to work for free, read the room. What people (like myself) are saying is that you are on the ENTERTAINMENT business, you don't sell models to enterprise, you sell models to people, for fun, as an avatar that they will probably only use with a single platform. You asking 60 dollars for a singular 3D model, as from scratch as it may be, it's absolutely ridiculous. With the quality of the avatar itself you would get double, triple the amount of people by simply being more affordable for the use case of the model, add a business license if you wanna suck some extra money off people with more use for the model than going to The Great Pug.

Let's make a quick price breakdown here, shall we? Runa costs 50$, with no other accessories, hairs, outfits, or almost any toggles. Then say you wanna have at least some breast sizes, an outfit and some hairs. Then that's another 30$, way more expensive than customizing any original model from booth, not even an e-girl from gumroad.
But the worst offender by far is the Robot gf upgrade, cause you NEED the Endoskeleton to get the full value of the already expensive 45$, that's a 60$ DLC. The DLC for the model is MORE EXPENSIVE than the model itself. Please read this carefully and tell me with a straight face that those pieces of customization deserve a higher price tag than the whole model on its own. Let me tell you looking at literally any good and popular booth model: they're not worth that much. Not even by a long shot.

Props to you for actually bothering to optimize the models, but at the end of the day that's your choice as a creator, nobody ever buys avatars based on performance, people don't care they are 99% very poor, and the people who care will optimize it on their own accord and time. You don't get to decide something like that in the behalf of people who might not even care and then say they have to pay extra because of it.
As for your question, considering you already charge 60 bucks for the base avatar, 15 bucks. Price stuff according to the value of the whole, not on its own.
Also I will say that I bought Cherrycubus the moment she came out, 45 bucks for an avatar with a bunch of outfits, unique interactions and toggles? Super good value and I was fine supporting that. But this whole business with the robot avatars? Terrible value doesn't even begin to describe if you want even the most basic customization.

You guys need to understand that you don't need to buy my add-ons to customize Runa, a lot of people make their own stuff or just put something together with a random assortment of assets. I also see what people like in my statistics and sales, I see what they're willing to spend and what's popular with people. I also need to take feedback from piracy websites about my prices with a grain of salt (for obvious reasons) because it's almost exclusively a complaint from here and not feedback that's coming from my customers. Another issue I saw from people here is that If I make legs now an sell them for 15$, people will think it's fine. However, if I make 10 legs and sell each for 15$ then those same people will go "What, 150$ worth of addons?" Just makes no sense to me, sorry.
To give 0 value to optimization here and say "it's your choice is a creator" is also nonsense. Yeah no shit that it's my choice but that's not a "you didn't need to do this" thing. I want to release quality stuff, simple as that. A lot of my community members DO care for it, they're very hands-on with customizing my Avis and the optimization is a big selling point for them.
And what's this about "you don't get to decide on behalf of people" nonsense, as if I mass hypnotize people and force them to buy my products. Clearly when someone buys the products based on what I have listed and shown, it absolutely IS worth it the price to them. You get what you see, I always show the product from a lot of angles AND create a showcase video so people can see it in motion and use. My descriptions will always tell you what you're buying, all requirements are also ALWAYS listed. I will never make a product that "hides" flaws or requirements.
Also know that I am not here to pick fights, the piracy side of this is just really interesting to me because ultimately this is some form of advertisement for me and most importantly, it's also a good spot to collect feedback. You don't need to be my customer for me to care about your opinion, if you feel like 60$ is too much for example then that's already valuable feedback for me to collect. In hindsight maybe I should have made her 50$ again and tried to get a higher sales number instead of more from each sale. I think what I will do is release her on Boosty later down the line and make her like 40$ there (cause we get a better cut from Boosty).
But that's why she will receive a few free updates for now, because I am a little unhappy with the lack of Gun for example. Okay it looks cool in the holster but it just feels "wrong" that you can't use it right now. It's just more fun if you can pull and fire it. If you guys got suggestions for the laser turret, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't really want to make it fire and idk if it tracking your head would rotation/movement would just make it clip with yourself ...
