Bruh it's literally 10 grand. I'm not saying this is necessarily what's going on, but it makes perfect sense.
I think he means that logically they've been fleeced of that money for a long time and not just now since he wasn't releasing any sort of builds in between. Any that would stop supporting him probably did so a while ago and one more month of paying wouldn't make a huge load of difference now.

I mean this is why piracy is king, moments like this.
I support projects where I truly trust the developers (very rare especially western developers)

The publisher replied on the Steam discussion, and took down the promo video they had with an "Out now" blurb from the Steam Page. The publisher is clearly aware of the issues, and is acting upon it - sometimes the most you can do is wait. Hell, I've had contract disputes at work that took nearly 5 months to clear up because coordination between three parties in a legally binding flow means what could be a 5 minute phone call between 3 people becomes a weeklong email thread to do basic changes to the paperwork, and then another week to get it re-signed and move on to the next task.

I feel like people in this thread have never done any amount of development or business, let alone game dev. The publisher usually helps with marketing at the time of or after release, and otherwise exists to help with the biz reqs for publishing, not to be an all-encompassing aide to the developer. If the dev asks the person they have a business relationship and contract with about releasing early on non-Steam platforms and is advised not to, I think they're going to listen to the people they are in business with and not some pile of anonymous forum complaints that they want the game right now.

As Mark Rosewater once said about Magic the Gathering - if every pack of cards they sold came with a $100 bill in there, they'd get complaints about how it was folded. If your only post on this forum until the steam release is that the game is not out and therefore the paying people (not you, clearly) are getting scammed/milked, consider screaming it out the window instead - you'll get the attention you're seeking much easier that way.
Yeah, ok, cool story. Especially when there is only two side involved. Do you perhaps know what "shill" means?
Isn't the term 'kissing ass' in English? Ass licking would the term used in Germany, funnily enough.
Ja,ja, naturlich.
But from what I can see, it is too deep for just a kiss.:)

I came here not only to get those apks but for improve my english skills (there are in development) and some comments here are sooo educational, even my school or university doesn't gave me this level of knowledge. Thanks everyone.

Speaking of marketing: the most recent Aurelia post on Critical Bliss's Twitter is dated Oct 28. There's nothing at all regarding the November release. Are they even aware the release is happening lmao? Did they forgor?

This is an underrated point. Translations are great and all, but was there actually any marketing?

I mean, I wouldn't know the first thing about how to actually market an H game cause it's hard to advertise, but still. If you want a big release, you need to spend some time pumping it up. More than just the usual dribble of twitter posts

I still just don't see how keeping his cards close to his chest helps Mirthal. It's just tanking his reputation :/ He should set a deadline for asynchronous release at least so people stop making dozens of pages of posts speculating and jeering

He hasn't visited here since April unless it's under a different account. Unless his Patreon/Discord members are revolting, I seriously doubt he's concerned about his reputation here.

What? F95 is one of if not the biggest community for H gaming. Reputation matters especially since piracy is almost the default and so much of H gaming is spread through word of mouth

Is that why someone like NLT now also fell into the pitfall despite his great rep?
