Others Completed Aurelia [v1.00.0] [Mirthal]

But is this not stuff that people budget for already?

Like if you can't afford to buy the game at X time + 1wk , how could you have afforded to buy it at X time unless you were forgetting about all the priorities listed above?

Oh my sweet summer child (c).
You see what you're using called "logic". If most of people could use it, a huge chunk of credit system didn't even exist along with millions of people who can't pay their credit payments.
And may I remind you we are discussing these things in a topic where gamedev made a contract with experienced published - yet SOMEHOW got surprised by SUDDEN Steam cheakup. Logic died long before it can be seen.

Hahaha you know what, you're absolutely right idk what I was thinking

Nooo, you got it all wrooong. It all Steam's fault! Seasoned publisher together with dev fought like a lions, but Gabe personally intervened. Just wait a little longer! That'll be a great game, only for 20$ - almost for free!

I mean, if he means to do right by his patrons he'll release the game on the 30th so that they don't get charged for December due to Steam problems. If he doesn't even do that then I don't give a fuck anymore, dude's 100% milking on purpose in the most blatant, heinous way imaginable.

What you're assuming doesn't make a lot of sense, considering people won't immediately jump ship from his patreon after the game is done. I even think releasing it early will increase patreon numbers. Hes smarter if he releases the game through all channels and stores instead of waiting.

If he keeps developing games and considering how good Aurelia is, people will keep giving him money while people purchase the game on steam and itch. Patreon in this case serves more of a side venue and means to boost ones ego. The real issue is that keeping the game under locks when its clearly done gives a precedent to other developers that this sort of anti-consumer behavior is acceptable, as long as people willing to support developers that act in accordance to that.

If I would be in Mirthal shoes, the solution is simple. Give Valve a few days and then release it on all other possible channels and stores. This way, you ensure to frame Valve as the bad guys, instead of me as the developer willfully withholding the game intentionally, which is not what I would want for many reasons as the release date was already announced prior. You just ruin your own name, when it comes to marketing.

If he wanted that, he'd released it as soon as the steam issues started.
December it is lads.

at this point i think i'm getting more value out of watching this thread over what i'll get from playing the game, if it ever even comes out, this guy's jerking us off i tell ya

on an actual serious note, played the current available build for a 2 or 3 times, there's a decent amount of game here and a good amount of scenes for the main girls, the gameplays pretty good too and last I played I felt like there was enough dungeon levels, I feel like if he adds more it will just get tedious, there's also a couple of minigames, like the defense one and the fishing one, I wouldn't wanna see too many of them either, I'd rather he integrate them across the entire duration of the game rather than it being a situation where, you spend the next 2 hours doing this minigame and then there's no reason to go back and do it afterwards, the only thing I'd really want is just more scenes and quests

that being said, this comes from someone who is not invested into these kinds of games, I don't generally back creators on patreon and I don't have expectations, I don't look at marketing or what the creators say about their games or what the community says about the games I just toss an eye on the tags and screenshots and decide on that, I also tend to prefer smaller games that I can finish in one night, rarely do I play an adult game that takes more than one sitting

regarding the 20$ price tag, I feel that's in line for most indie games, we don't have the full game, we don't know exactly what it's gonna have so i think it's better to throw stones once we know all that, i feel a lot of the current contempt for this game is comparable to stalker 2, I saw a bit of hate towards that game that it doesn't live up to what people wanted or what they were promissed, or it has too many performance issues, I wen't in blind <regarding this one, I played the original 3 and a lot of gamma and EFP> and 50 hrs in i'm still having fun

my only concern is the wiki, i didn't use it much but I can never remember how to get the artifact at the beging of the game with the clock puzzle

 

[wolvovic]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm looking forward to the game primarily because of the localization. I want to check the translation. I don't think there's much more content there than in the latest available version.

 

[BartzV]

So, no Aurelia today? We must wait december? Fuck.

 

[sanshisan]

It can come out at any moment, its just that we don't know. Its also really not his fault, Steam does these checks because it may lead to controversy sometimes. Its strange that its taking so long though, never trust a billion dollar company.

The best thing you can do is to not get too hung up about it. Theres a ton of fapable shit on this site, just pick what you want until Aurelia comes out. You should just replay 0.31 again if you're this thirsty about the game.

I feel Mirths fuck up should mean he should do free DLC to make up for this shit.

Anal birth, like will shit it out finally after not being able to
digest?

You're new to adult games industry or what? There've been so many way more egregious cases than this already. Just to give an example of a similiar version progression:

You also underestimate Steam as a platform. It's fucking massive and releasing the build anywhere else before Steam might cost a lot of potential buyers. The only question is whether this whole Steam debacle is a ruse or not.

 

[wolvovic]

It's hard to say whether this is a trick or an agreement.
Or maybe Steam started working like this slowly at the end of the year.

Mirthal could have brought some clarity to what was happening or been in constant contact with the players.
But, apart from his reply that he sent them some more material on Saturday, nothing else... that's strange.

Its Mirthal lying to his fans.

 

[wolvovic]

I hope that this is not the case. Otherwise, this could be his first and last project.
Because he will lose the complete trust of society.

 

[Slaylife]

I think we are only a week or two away from Steam stating what issue they have with the game so the dev can change the game to suit their demands.

Imagine them demanding Janet be changed because people could confuse her for a child due to her size.
