I try to balance the desire of the players as best I can without giving up my original idea for the game. If I succumbed to everything some players say, the game would be completely different. We wouldn't have minigames, alternate routes, or corruption. The game would have a button to instantly add 100k money, and we would have scene after scene without any game mechanics, after all, why have game mechanics in a game, right? Anyway, we wouldn't have a game but a slideshow. Then I wonder: Why do some players want to play a game that doesn't have any game mechanics, story, alternate paths, or anything? Isn't it easier to use pornhub? I'll never understand.Yeah I don't mean to pile on to the negativity that seems typical of game development in this genre. I understand the need to satisfy your paying customers. When I see devs responding to what users think they want instead of making the game they originally intended, I fear that path inevitably leads to fatigue and burnout which is a shame.
What comforts me is that none of my supporters complain about absolutely anything. All the messages I receive from them are encouraging and grateful.
Sorry about the vent. Maybe you're right and I'm a little tired.
