Is this a demo or what? I can't make any money with the taxi job. There's nothing to interact with.
I created mods for the old version of the game and completely translated it into French. I added the police and a driving school. The fully compressed game is over 10 GB. I expanded the building where 19 women live. 3 policewomen. 3 people from the driving school. 10 prostitutes in the brothel plus 1 with her own house. 1 taxi director. 1 gym secretary. 1 nurse and 1 cleaning lady at the high school. 1 cleaning lady at Savannah's. I will continue to expand the game for my personal use. Sorry, I can't share it; I don't own the game. But you can do the same thing and see how very, very difficult it is to make a game. It takes a lot of time and energy to find good quality porn videos, cut them up, and change the format. You have to encode them to put them in the game. It's so easy to have everything in your mouth. Lol.

You started to burn out so your solution was to start over and burn out faster?
Have the discipline to finish the job. Learn from your mistakes and apply it to the next game. I can count on one hand the number of reworks that didnt get abandoned but the number of attempts are countless. I would rather you finish a mess than abandon the rework. Which you will, because statistically everyone does.
so why doesn't the new version have 1040? if you already had the content for it. and as you say it would have been easy to implement.
You want trust and patience but you abandoned your first game and reworking your second which gets regulated to the pile of games that got a rework and failed. Maybe if you stick to what you are doing and finish the job, I would have trust and patience but you haven't earned either.

And why not use the materials that I've been already implemented once?
If you are familiar with IT you might have heard about FS, or FileSystem or storage consumption.
I did not used those pictures and videos because of that reason. They consume too much space on disk.
And if you think more of that you might have realize that when a 8+GB game has a bug, the bugfix or the quick solution delivery consumes too much time. Think of that, I have 1000Mbps internet, uploading a 8+GB game to the cloud storage costs me at least 2 hours since there are 2 platforms. (PC / MAC)
So yeah I did not used them for a reason. Same shit applies to the pictures.
When the original Back Again release I did not tought about releasing the 10th version of it. So bc of that I mostly used PNGs.
You don't need to be an IT expert to know that PNGs are pretty big files since they contain more information that JPGs.
So when I decided to reduce the size of the game, it took me 2 weeks to downsize all the locations background...
Yeah, just the locations backgrounds. which already had 120+
You can imagine what a pain in my asshole it was lol
And besides all that, I found better sources to use than the previous ones

HOWEVER!
I haven't earned your trust and your patience?
Fine lol
I mean it's fine for me. I long accepted that I can't be able to satisfy everyone EVER. And not just in work or in thisAdult community,but in life in general.
No matter what I do or will do or what I did, there will always be oppositions who think otherwise and do otherwise.
And this is fine for me.
Steve Harwey once said: “People’s Opinion of You is None of Your Business, Nor Should You Make It Yours.”
If you think about this, this one is pretty true.
TBH Im glad if I gain your trust and your patience/time. And I will work to gain that still. (nothing is more valuable in life than time)
But if I don't get it, it is fine for me, I'm still gonna work on my games, and still gonna sleep tight in my bed.
Besides all that, you wrote this whole such in my game's comment section. I might not gained your trust or patience but you do care enough about my games to write this whole here....

Thank you for breaking it down and sharing your reasoning. The file system makes perfect sense and I understand why you wouldnt want to continue using PNGs.
My viewpoint doesn't change ofc. Been here as long as I have and you think twice before throwing money at a dev. Which created my rule of not supporting a dev financially until they finish at least one game.
I generally hate real porn based games. But I actually sit down and played this one, though the new version is....eh. Very eh.
But you are right. wouldn't post if I didn't care. It's everytime a dev gets halfway and hits a rework they hit the wall before getting to the point they were before they decided to rework.
Good luck, I will be glad to be wrong ofc. But I don't hedge my bets on it.
