Thanks for holding back so much, I appreciate it a lot. After 14 days I wouldn't mind providing ShutDog with a code personally so they can share the original and updated version at all times.

For limited time Avis I would share a code at the very end, then people have access to it. After sales end it doesn't matter anyway. Would that be something you guys are interested in? No more hunting for the newest versions, heh.

Since Raruh sales are going really well, I don't mind shortening the moratorium to only 1 week.
Of course it's not a rule set in stone, but if you guys could behave until then, it's already a big help.

Also I'm weak to flattery, heh. So yeah, Saturday then.

Could I request you guys to not distribute links of NekoMekka for 3 weeks, during the sale period? Torinyan here btw, I don't really mind if it's being shared around like this, especially if you can't afford to pay for avis (personal situation or just bad exchange rate).

However, it's a limited time Avatar and after the 28th of August (end of sale period) it won't affect sales anymore, heh. Would that be okay for you guys?

Yeah don't worry, I don't see piracy as a big problem. If you had an infinite amount of money then I'm sure you would buy the assets immediately. Piracy with games has already shown that if the product are good in the first place then people will eventually buy it (if they get money). Although I can't speak for everyone else, since I see that you also distribute stuff from really small creators. Please keep this in mind because for them a few sales are really impactful but for me not so much.

About the extended legs with Kat Kit, yeah you're definitely supposed to use a space mover with that one, which I wrote into the product description so no one is taken by surprise. Wish there was an easier solution for this but at the same time space-mover should be used anyway for VR Games, makes things very convenient.

I saw lots of people making assets and textures for her, I'm really happy about them managing to make their own sales with products inspired for/by Runa. Everyone can use a little financial boost, hehe. Next small Asset pack for Runa is coming too, hope you're looking forward to it.

Once again if you have any cool ideas for designs or assets, let me know. Sorry about my "plain" english, unfortunately it's not my first language.

It's a little saddening to see that some people straight up just don't care, but it's not really worth arguing over.
Please don't fight about stuff like this for Avatars that are not limited time.
The moratorium is cool and all, but it benefits us mostly for limited time Avatars, which isn't the case here.

For releases like this, if you manage to keep up a moratorium, it will be greatly appreciated.
However, if it's not kept up, I will give you a permanent link anyway later because it's not a limited time Avi.

Torinyan here, tsk tsk look at you all being naughty. That aside, I came here to ask for some feedback regarding the Assets and Runa especially? Got some cool ideas for future assets?

Might seem a little weird that I come to a ripperstore to ask for suggestions, but my stores track how users find me and this store was among the data. While I of course don't condone this kind of theft, there's also no fighting it. Such is the nature of digital products

So maybe you farts can provide with some feedback at least, heh.

@Dexizuki

More meshes = lower rating for optimization

Runa is a pretty complex Avatar design-wise and she's still rated medium. Even if she was rated red, she'd be pretty optimized. However, for a lot of people it's simply very interesting to stay either green or medium. Right now she can be made green and into a backup/quest Avatar with just a few tweaks too. This is extremely important for marketability.

The average customer does not edit Avatars, they simply use them as base version and provided with the base packages. Also nothing about her being modular is false, she's meant to be used with the assets I provide in my own store. Believe it or not, but people being able to buy and follow tutorials is simply the preferred method for many people. People like you that have somewhat of a know-how make up a tiny percentage of my customers. I'd rather inconvenience the 5% of people that could use the mentioned changes you want than to inconvenience my other 95%.

Even if it wouldn't inconvenience the 95%, the number of people it's relevant to is often very small. It's often not worth putting much time into it after releases, especially when people learned how to do things over time.

I want to point out that the goal is not to make the perfect Avatar, yes in the end Runa can be optimized, made more editing friendly and so on but you need to move on with projects. Right now she's already 5 months old and I'd like to eat, meaning there needs to be new things releasing and not just tweaking things people learned how to use. New things is usually also what people want, it's good for them since they get more Runa and good for me because I like money.

About the pricing, they're more than fair. I know the quality provided in the store and everything added together my assets often only cost 5$ per piece in packages. Third party products for Runa are even more expensive than this. Even Runa herself is pretty cheap, considering people want 70$ (and more) for their Kitbash Avatars.

I came here to collect feedback and not just compliments, so even if I disregarded a bunch of your arguments, I want you to know that there's usually a justification behind the decisions I make, based on the data I get from my customers and fans. Of course this doesn't apply to everything, I'm not all knowing and not excluded from really dumb decisions. No hard feelings dear.

I'll keep your feedback in mind though for the next Avatar that is going to be in the works soon. I think you guys will like it. Initially there was a femboy furry Avatar planned but that idea might just get scrapped, no idea.

Also @DTS maybe for Halloween she can get a big witch hat~
Although by then she's pretty old, generally the life-cycle for successful Avatar releases is around 6 months.

BTW, I really wanted to ask what countries you all are from? Gumroad offers a feature where I can adjust the pricing to peoples countries, because 10$ can be very little here but a looooot in another country. Maybe it opens up a way for people outside the US/EU to buy products properly too and receive official support.

I guess I'm just scared that people might abuse this with a VPN to pay much cheaper prices and ruin it for people that could actually need it.

You can stop the Moratorium now, Runyant sales will stop in like 12 hours or so anyway. Huge thanks to everyone who actually put effort into keeping it up, it's really flattering.

Babe it's 4 PM, time for your daily new Runa.

If you guys behave until the 10th, I will gladly give you the Avatar and a sloppy toppy for free so you can have an up to date version always.

After the 10th of August nothing you do here affects our sales, since we stop selling her after that time.

Thank you, reading these messages is really touching. I appreciate it a lot, once the first weeks are over, I will grant the main thread with a Code so you can always have an up to date Raruh to use, no need to look to hunt for updated versions, heh.

@ShutDog1212 Don't worry dear, it's not really your responsibility but I appreciate it a lot. No need to apologize!
Thank you everyone for complying, makes me happy.

Ah, I guess since I overslept a little, I guess I can just post the public link myself so people can access it.
In the future IF Ruruh receives an update, ofc WanWan can just update it.

Sorry for making you wait extra, enjoy:

OP can DM me for a code, which can be publically uploaded here.

I appreciate the effort at least, a genuine big thanks to most people here for being considerate about it.

@Lazy_Haku

EH!? You could at least wait until the sale period is over at 17th July, so this would not affect the store in any way..

So mean.. ;_;

@WanWan Glad you like it

Don't worry about it, the Moratorium is not an official rule and I don't want users to go reporting each other because of something like this.

I DIDN'T SEE, I'M SORRY. Thanks for sharing the link, if you guys need an up to date version let me know.
Did you guys see the new Avi btw? Do you like the design?

Since WanWan added it to the Runa list, I will give it to WanWan so they can add it there.
That way the assets are also all orderly collected in one spot and people won't need to check 30 different threads.

@kazan-in-a-tank Probably a smaller and more normal looking one. Big is fine, but the current one is gigantic, which was done to be accurate to the advertising. Would suck to release an Avatar advertised with big futa art, then to release with a smol dick.

My guess would also be that we'll release a Hairset, probably even without ears.

Smh, at least wait 2 weeks after release before you try to get it from here
