Others Aurelia [v0.31] [Mirthal]

[Catkong80]

Indeed.

It can't be that a final release takes more time, as announced:

It can't be that they are animating old stuff, as promised many times and even shown publicly:

It can be that they are translating the game to several languages and adding mod support for any non-official language:

No, no, no.
It is ALWAYS DEVELOPER GREED. Because 10k on Patreon is mad money dude! Nothing comparable to Steam!

You know, unless you are completely ignorant of how Steam works and the amount of money releasing a game actually makes:

This is what a NSFW game made in a bit more than year btw. And it's not even that popular (has a 20% the amount of reviews Aurelia has here in F95 to put some sort of comparison.) Almost like there is a reason why everyone is migrating there.
I'm keeping the dev anonymous because I don't want anyone to get shit for this screenshot.

I mean, trust me broh! Fallout New Vegas was done in two years!

And all they had is:

1. An incredibly popular IP
2. The engine used for the previous game.
3. Lore and worldbuilding of said game
4. Like half the assets to build said game. (UI, enemies, buildings, items, etc...)
5. Being published by a multi-million dollar corporation.
6. A budget most likely exceeding a million

It's a fair (and very nuanced) comparison!

And if they post anything! They already had it done and didn't release it! Obviously!

They are SO METICULOUS that they even keep a fake tracking of the scenes left to do: View attachment 3547336

And an entire fake discord server where they have entirely fake discussions about content:

Just in case someone hacks them like I did. Tips fedora.

Because lets be serious people, what is more plausible?
Developers working on a project like they've done until now for 6 years?
Or...
Dark secrets the government developers don't want you to know!? Think sheeple! THINK!

And yes, this is in fact, satire.
And yes, I'm finishing the game.
And for the theory crafters, you can find like-minded friends

. Have fun.

I would at the very least post your twitter posts to your Patreon or something to make it look more lively, it makes it look like the project has been dead since October and I think that's where all the milking comments come from, you could also have a lot more supporters that way. This is the first time I have seen this game and I thought it was dead because the Patreon is the first thing I click on. Also, I know you didn't intend it, but this long post makes it look like you couldn't care less about your supporters since they only give you 10k compared to other people making more on steam rather than the fact that you are just working hard on a final release, just a heads up.
Edit: Also good luck on the full release, its great to see a game actually finish on this site haha.

Random comments making shit up are inevitable and I've received them over the years irrelevantly of how much content I put out.

Trying to "please" or "minimize" assholes is pointless because... Well, they are assholes. They don't care about reasoning. They just want to throw shit because they know there is no consequence and makes them feel powerful.

Which is why I only really answer if I think I can have fun (and make others have fun) by mocking them.
And boy, do I have a lot of fun sometimes.

As I said, if someone reads my post in such bad faith that after me saying:
"Patreon doesn't give that much money compared to Steam, so the whole elongating release isn't as lucrative as people think"
they think I said:
"HAHAHAHA, I REALLY HATE MY PATREON SUPPORTERS"

What I'm even supposed to do at that point? I could say whatever and they'll just make up in their mind some ludicrous bullshit like me "hoarding content in a HDD", it is a pointless endeavor to try to please those individuals.

It is saying app is not compatible with device android 12 ,Is there a 64 bit version available?Or a fix for it

Hey Mirthal, are the Ginny and Lily mentioned in the V0.30.0 EXTRA change log in the current playable version of v0.31? And if so can you point in the direction of how to get them because there is nothing in the wiki about 'em and I haven't found anyone else talk about them in this thread.

 

[SomeoneX22]

"Patreon doesn't give that much money compared to Steam, so the whole elongating release isn't as lucrative as people think"

Personally, I think that completing game and do full release in Steam is a great thing to do. Without bullshit like Episode 1, Early Access etc...
I can't support you on Patreon, but gladly will buy finished game in Steam. P.S. don't forget Cloud Saves.

They are not, the .30 Extra is a patreon build and has the extra scenes behind that wall, the .31 is a public build and doesn't include those scenes.

 

[hanghung3at]

I'll gladly wait for the final version of the game. That pixel art is hot as fuck

I don't have twitter so I'm only now seeing the scenes you guys remade and animated and they look absolutely incredible.

I wasn't gonna comment any more, but I will note that this is an unnecessary barrage of hostility directed at fans of your game who paid you money to make the game.

 

[Dinkidu]

I really want to replay this game but I know the full release is coming soonish. Should I hold out bros?

 

[BartzV]

everyone has the same question.

 

[belladore]

Yes. Mirthal said they are reworking a lot of the older content (as opposed to just adding new content). Put it on your Steam wishlist so you won't miss the release when it comes, and hold out.

It wasn't directed at "fans of your game who paid you money", it was directed at people who make up shit about me, irrelevantly of their "status."

Because being a Patron doesn't give you magic immunity powers.

If you come to my server and make shit up about other users, be me or anyone else, completely unwarranted and without even a hint of proof, you'll get banned. I don't care if you are paying 0$ or 100.000.000$ a month, you get the same treatment anyone else would.

And if the fact that I didn't give you "special privileges" for your money is something that bothers you so much, I'll be happy to refund your entire patronage, just give me a Ko-fi or Boostly where I can donate it.

Is there gonna be a 64-bit android version?

If he doesn't want his refund I can take it too. Be a saint, donate to the poor.

Anyway... you only waste your time with such a debate. If the whole thing is a lie, ignore it. People who hate you will hate you even if you have the whole story on the table with everything addressed and covered with proof.

Have some good time with the family, a vacation, time for the game or a nice chat with your Discord guys instead.

Yeh, that's what I said before. Tbh I wasted more time on this than I wanted, I only answered the first time because it was memeable enough for it to be fun.

So now I'm not only an "asshole" but also a "liar" who "makes up shit" "without even a hint of proof".

I didn't ask for a refund and I didn't ask for "special privileges". I apologized for being rude and pissing you off. I wrote a rather polite and detailed explanation of why I think the Patreon model disincentivizes finishing games. You responded to that with "mucho texto"... and now you're accusing me of not providing "even a hint of proof"? I thought you didn't want to go into further debate over the Patreon business model (I don't either! I would rather not go there.) But now you're here again asking for "proof"? You want me to write longer and more detailed explanations of why I think the Patreon money is delaying the release of Aurelia? You want me to do like a scientific analysis of what percentage of Aurelia content is superficial dungeon content and minigame content? Why can't we just stop here? You have an extremely good game that is most likely going to rake over $1M on Steam when you release, maybe your time would be better spent working on that game instead of shitposting and bashing your fans on a piracy forum?

 

[PayneToTheMax]

Just let it go and move on. Trying to get the last word in doesn't make look cool, it makes you look like a buffoon.

 

[Mirthal]

Nah, you can't take shitposting away from me man, it's like one of my two good traits.

Making games n memes.

 

[TheLonliestFapper]

I like my devs nasty I love when they go back and forth in an argument means they at least finish what they started
