Artists deserve support!
Just wanted to share my opinion and a message from the author of this flash program.
First, after viewing the demo, I decided to purchase the full version. At $11.40, it's inexpensive enough, and I was not disappointed. It's a very well crafted program, and truly demonstrates the skill of the author. While it does have limitations - no sound chief among them - it's the only truly interactive tickling game I've found. Maybe someone knows of others worth investigating.
I would encourage those with an interest in this type of thing to 1) purchase the full program, and 2) contact Sawatex with your thoughts. Only through real support, encouragement, and feedback will this genre of entertainment develop further. Anyone with this level of skill and understanding should be encouraged to continue development into a new generation of programs, with more features and interaction. Even if you don't purchase, write and let him know what you think. His email is
[email protected] .
And no, I don't get a toaster if you purchase the program! I'm just an aficionado, wishing I had the skill of all you great artists out there. Thanks to all!
Cheers,
Bob Carter

Hello Bob,
Thank you for your mail and playing my work "ffhc".
I am glad you enjoy this game.
> 1) I love the tickling capability. This is my main reason for
purchasing. Please look even further into adding other body areas, such as
ribs, belly, knees, butt. I've never seen another interactive so well
done as yours.
Honestly, I am surprised that many people give me responses about
"tickling". I had thought it quite a incidental in this game at first,
but actually have made this amazing function, it is very foyful for me
too.
> 3) Sound! It would be truly incredible to have appropriate sound
effects along with the video. There are many sources that could be
sampled to create a mix of sounds that would go along with it.
Yes, I have understood this problem enough, but it's so difficult now.
I must employ a "voice actor". They are of course amateur. So their
work is not always good.
I think even no sound is better than poor performances.
My work is only "kasumi" now, but I have plans making "Ver.2" of this
game and next work of new character. I think to add more tickling
operations in them.
However, it will need much time to complete. Please wait until it.
I am glad if they would be your favorite too.
Thank you!
