Yea he def forgot he has an ig account, regardless, there's better games out there guys, let's just move on. I only feel pity for the patrons, and that's why I never and would never support a dev on patreon (no matter how good/skilled they are, or how frequently they post their updates cuz you'll never know/can't predict what would happen)The last thing he posted there was a year ago,I don't think that he even remembers that he has an instagram account for the game.
Well, before i think that it was Hacker i would get more into direction Angry Mental Breakdown. All just Theories until we find out the truth, if we will ever find something out.
The thing that hurts and bugs me the most is not that the game is abandoned but that he was sooo fucking close to finishing the update.
.
Well, if it was a Hacker maybe the passwort was to weak and security settings.
Yeah he could have easily paused his patreon wrote some explanation and milked for months deleting his patreon and discord profile pic seems pretty final as in leaving forever final.
Since you obviously know about this better than most of us, let's get this straight:
What's wrong with my statement? For all we know, this game will remain forever unfinished
Ya, this is why I rarely back on Patreon and when I do, it's only for a low amount. I tend to buy the games on Steam though to support the developer if it's a game I liked.
Posts and pictures and commentaries are saved as backup just like any social media but all patrons are most likely gone. Can't charge them back out of the blue, would be against their knowledge and consent.
Thanks for the clarification.
there's a slim chance of a not so gloomy future scenario.
It's a damned if you do or damned if you don't situation. A dev who buys assets for their game, instead of using freely available pirated items, would benefit from financial support. Perhaps financial support would also encourage them to upgrade their rendering machine(s). But then it also feels very one sided because most developers don't fulfill their end of the bargain by completing their games. There are a few who would be "safe" (as safe as you can get anyway) to support, developers who have games they've already finished, unicorns in this genre who have established support. I admit that I've supported developers before but at this point feel it is mostly wasted money. In the end, I doubt that money from anonymous individuals is enough motivation for anyone to continue a project if they don't have some other reason to continue.
You can't look at it as wasted money. I support a number of devs... granted I usually only go for the lower tiers, but it's more of an "attaboy/girl" than anything else. These are a lot of hard work, even the bad ones, so throwing a few bucks at people who are trying to entertain me is not a bad thing. Most of the time, they have good intentions.
Hey from what game is your profile picture??
