At least in my opinion they really deserve every penny of that. What I was saying though is, that a significant number of people won't give money to that kind of game, which of course doesn't mean, that you can't earn a very decent amout of money from those who do.
That's so cool to hear! They totally deserve that. I hope that Soulgasm creators will reach the same numbers.
true, but marking game as abandoned when its not is still misinformation and misleading, just because developer doesn't upload in time, he will... soon enough lol
I must admit, I really don't see your point here. For me the alternative for wasting money is to not waste money at all, not to find another way to waste money. You don't have to support anything if there's nothing worth supporting. It's not like there's an unstoppable stream of money flowing from your wallet and you must guide it somewhere; you can bloody well dam the damn thing.
While you clearly understand how Patreon works, I'd say you just don't seem to share why someone would prefer to use this system instead of itch.io because your mindset is more focused on getting the actual product. Which is totally fine, just not how everybody feels. Because people who use Patreon are indeed getting something, even if the update is delayed: apart from WIP videos and spoiler pics (and progress reports), they are getting the satisfaction of supporting something or someone they like and trust -until they just don't.
I somewhat agree that it's misinformation but not misleading.
Great, the "I consent" update is here...
While I understand the importance of that, this information can be easily accessed by checking the original post and the information on it regarding the last update date but I do know that most people just ignore it and just go straight to what they want but the word used to describe this especific scenario where the game is still "ongoing" it's still not something I can really agree with.
Like I said the only thing I know about those changes is this:
I don't think so. No new content has been added, other than those dialogue changes. I don't think this should qualify as a new update per forum rules.
Patreon new TOS is a pain in the ass, isn't it? Makes me wonder if the new TOS have any effect on the writing for the next update that makes it necessary to rewrite some part of it thus delaying the update
A few other devs are making a strong showing in the 2D space (Parasite Black and Refuge of Embers). But yeah, it's looking grim for anyone who enjoys this style of art - especially since it results in diverse character designs rather than reusing the same few Daz/HS2 models over and over.
That's likely because games, where there's no resident artist/dev, usually don't come this far once there are troubles. In that case it's often just over (see for example MilftoonDrama). NSFW artists in general seem to be hard to work with and it's hard to find somebody who is willing to commit for such a long time, even if you pay them really well. Most people rather work for their own project as it seems.funny how some of the best art people are paired with the absolute worst programmers
It's the great upside of 2D art, that every little detail is possible without limits. Then again, the big downside is that it takes a lot of time to draw all of that.
It really very often boils down to the complexity of the game. Of course mishaps/delays can always happen, but games like this one will take more time per update in any case, compared to your standard VN/RPGM game.
