Its been awhile since i played this game did they ever put caps on the Strength and intelligence or is it still infinite?I know the driving skill is capped at 10 i wonder why the dev didnt cap the other two stats as well.
Some reviews are unfair, others are very well argued. Whether I like them or not, I always respect everyone's opinion, both good and bad. But this one, besides being unfair, I don't understand it, and I think it deserves a response.
And I don't plan to respond with words alone, although I would love to argue, because many developers are seen as "people who put .mp4 files in html" and I think that's unfair and cruel. But since I've been here for several years, we can look at my actions, not my words
I used to spend part of my free time making modified versions that included subscriber content and uploading them here
Three years ago, the full version was leaked on Mopoga. That was my response
You could go to my Patreon and see that the +$10 codes haven't changed in years (yes, years!)
Why? Because I want any subscriber to be able to pay $10 and then downgrade to the $5 tier while maintaining the benefits of the higher tier.
Not to mention that the $20 tier has no additional benefits over the $10 tier. It's a tier whose purpose is to say, "Hey, I liked your game, here's a tip"
There are many other examples like these, which I will not look for because I do not think they are necessary
The part where you say (basically) that my content is essentially stealing mp4 files and profiting from them. Well, all I can say is that my life was difficult. My first job was smuggling goods across the border between two countries when I was 12 years old (yes, it sounds crazy, but it's true). I still find this job "challenging". It's the only way I can express that the work of many developers like me isn't just downloading mp4 files and throwing them into a video tag.
This is what the game says, you can check it out for yourself:
What I offer my subscribers is EXTRA content. The entire game is free, available online and offline, and can be played on a mobile phone, tablet, or computer. No one will charge you, and no one can take it away from you once you have downloaded it.
Now, and this is very important. Why is there so much "extra content"?!
Because there are monthly updates, on the last Friday of every month, no excuses, no burnout, no breaks, no vacations. I work hard to provide a lot of content, and what's worse is that this generates comments like this
There are developers who keep their accounts open for a year without any new content, milking their subscribers, doing surveys like, "Hey guys, what would you like to see to subscribe to my new $50 tier?". That's why you see that the benefits for subscribers are fewer with them
Anyway, I hope this changes your mind (which is unlikely, but I have nothing to lose by trying), and gives you another perspective. Most developers don't earn a penny for 1 or 2 years. Some never make it at all. Are there some greedy ones? Yes. But most of them are just people who do something they enjoy and share it with others

- Leak the game? Great idea! But I wonder, who was the first to leak it?
I used to spend part of my free time making modified versions that included subscriber content and uploading them here
- What if the entire game were leaked? Would the "greedy dev" be upset? Let's see
Three years ago, the full version was leaked on Mopoga. That was my response
- More? Here's one from 2021
- This is what happened to the last person who leaked my game:

I always wanted to be a taxi driver but I wasn't very good at school.
People hate downloading content that they cannot access!!

Hey relax man, it’s just a comment from some random guy like me, sharing a critique of your work. Good or bad, that’s all it is: a critique. No, I’m not going to leak your game and honestly, I don’t have to. Your game is in a download database, mostly public; if you know where to look, you can get it. Or even better, rewrite the code in Visual Studio Code and you're set. That’s what I did, I’ve got an HTML version modified by me. Don’t worry, I’m not going to drop it here. If you went through all that trouble to write that long ass post, it’s because you genuinely care. And hey, we all gotta hustle however we can to make a buck.
I have to admit though, deleting my comment really pissed me off. First, because like I said, it’s just criticism, and whether you like it or not, when you share your work publicly, you have to deal with it. And second, because a lot of people actually agreed with some of the points I made, and I have a right to express myself. Of course, always respectfully, without insulting.
Like I said, I’m just a random dude. I hack, crack, code... but I’ve never paid for anything even remotely virtual in my life, so I’m not your target audience. But the people who are commenting and saying they’re unhappy and really wanted a full version, they are. It’s fine to offer extra perks to your subscribers, but don’t forget that the majority of your audience doesn’t see that. Maybe think about releasing a full version after three or four updates. That way, people who want to pay to get it early can, and those who don’t will at least know that someday they’ll get the full content too. And hey, who knows, maybe I’d even pay at some point.
That’s it, I talk too much. A hug and good luck, from a random guy.

Oh and one last thing before I go, almost forgot. This is, for the most part, a pirate website. If you think what I said was unfair or that I was trying to take down your game, take a good look at the ground you're standing on and where your game is. This isn’t Steam. In the mud, you get dirty one way or another.
I appreciate the feedback. I have always been open to continuing to upload modified versions, but no one requested them again.
The long post was not because of the criticism, there is a lot of that and it is what makes me improve every day, nor was it because of pirating the game (as you can see, anyone who does so will only receive a funny .jpg from me).
I've been here for five years and people trust me. They trust me to download the .zip file I give them, that if one day I can't upload an update, it's because I really can't, and that I will never try to profit greedily by acting in dishonor of my principles. That trust was what I defended, and that is truly the most valuable thing I have, and it is worth more than anything else.
Thank you for explaining your perspective and not leaving it at short criticism. Those extra lines will help me grow, to understand with humility that there is room for improvement in that regard, and more importantly, this exchange has given me an excellent idea that I can implement in the future, which will be an excellent middle ground that will benefit everyone.
A hug from one random guy, to another random guy.
