I'm still baffled they straight up removed the songs they had from the Demo/Legacy builds since, well, someone must have made them, why toss them out entirely? There's a possibility they'll reuse them by adding said levels back one way or the other, but why not even include them in the shop to buy them?? Even more confusingly, you can even download those 4 songs on the BunFan bandcamp, so it's not like they're hiding or obfuscating them (i wish I knew who even made those tracks, but oh well).
They have shown bits and pieces of animations...that needed to be started over from some reason. What that reason is, I dunno, but we're basically retreading ground for (potentially) a more polished product. They're not shy on showing what they plan to do, but the way they do the work is not the best.
Kom makes them himself.
To be fair the project really did go from one guy, just kom by himself, as a hobby project to trying to bring up an official company and a fully fledged moddable product. I don't imagine it's simple or easy to organize 7 other people all online only as separate content creators also all doing their own things on the side while chipping away at beat banger. Not to mention the upgrade from I think it was godot 3 to godot 4, or maybe it was 4 to 5? The decisions being made have been pretty sketchy but I imagine theres other stuff going on underneath the hood that people aren't seeing. I bought it on steam so they got my 10 bucks and I'm not supporting them on patreon so im just along for the ride at this point just hoping for the best.
They've got over 1,000 reviews on steam so who knows how many actual purchases they've had there. Plus if you add up the patrons who might be going off of the patreon builds and havent bought it on steam or are doing both, it would be pretty stupid not to make merch at some point when people like these characters as much as they do. They're all different in designs and personality so its pretty easy to see why there's something for everyone if you like the whole vibe the game has going for it. Wont lie, I love claire and I've been on the fence about getting her standee just as a loyalty buy. Although they're all sold out anyway so it worked out for them either way.
100% agree with this though, it would probably ease a bit of the hate if they just made a statement about their own progress being so slow. The updates on the foundations of the game are slowly adding up to a more polished experience but the complete fucking halt on the actual levels themselves is a migraine and a half for everyone waiting. I've been waiting for zoe's second level because that song slaps in my opinion and there's no doubt in my mind that the earliest we'll probably see it is sometime next year if not further at the pace we're going.
Oh nice, pretty impressive for simple but catchy songs. Also explains the obvious lascivious influence on it lol.
That, I can respect. A solo passion project turned profitable, which enabled a small indie studio and a website to boot? Impressive on its own. I just wish that the people that did pay for the product (like you) did obtain something more...complete. More substantial. More worthwhile rather than playing it once, and then forgetting about it until another update drops, doubly so when the project has been ongoing for some time now... at least, that's how it feels to me. I get that's what the "early access" warning on Steam is for, but it just feels wrong to me, y'know? Not judging you or shaming anyone who supported the devs by buying it, on the contrary.
Oh yeah, they're making BANK outta this. Again, passion project turned profitable, wanted to make physical merch of their OCs on their own merch section, good on them. Still wondering who asked for it in the first place. Again, not attacking anyone who bought whatever, but I didn't know there was a market for such a small game. My viewpoint is that if you're gonna sell merch, finish your priority first: the game. After all, if you wanted to make extra cash, why would you? The Patreon is doing pretty well, plus sales on the game on Steam too (after cuts of course). If they were that strapped for cash to make an extra penny, that would seem a bit suspicious. They must have their reasons I guess, like paying the shares to the devs or keeping the website running or something, and the earnings supplement that. Again, feels odd to me.
Since it seems that they sold out of the merch at one point, it seems like that person is either really good at their specific job, or a lot of people were asking about it. It's worth noting that if people were asking for the merch, F95 probably isn't the place you'd see that discussion.
Will this file allow The Handy connected to Intiface central to work?
There's nothing suspicious about it. If you wiped all the furries off of the planet in an instant, IT would collapse because too many of the professionals doing it would have evaporated.
It did but has not worked for a while from what I understand, the game code keeps changing enough to where the calls dont work.
wait... do controlers vibrate when notes are played. it might be easier to work with the game haptics themselves rather than work through lovense if I route it through xtoys..
Hmm, noted. Seeing as they now did have an audience (figures) and a "need," guess that's that.
No controllers do not, using intiface GHR or xtoys wont work. it might work if you buy a lovense device and hook off that but that would cost a bit.
You can use the dev mode trick where you only need to hit the first note perfectly and you're done. Automatic 7 stars(yes, I do mean 7 stars)
