Listening to the majority when it comes to the story? Brrr! Sounds horrible. I mean its his story. He should be telling it instead of just echoing back what he heard from the crowd
Jokes aside, listening to the audience of an adult game does sound like a bad idea. I know many of us play BaDIK for the story and characters too, but I'd never delude myself into thinking the majority isn't just here to bust a nut. It's the curse of also having A+ character design and animations in addition to the excellent storytelling and dialogue.Listening to the majority when it comes to the story? Brrr! Sounds horrible.

The problem with these sites and I'm sure Patreon as well is weeding out the "constructive" from all the bullshit.
Ok, let's imagine for one second it would actually be possible to DPC, as a lone developer, to sort through all the feedback they get and actually find the contructive critisism, a lot of will be contradictory and therefore completely useless.
Of course. But people would be surprised just how much is picked up. Js, it happens. I've been a ghostwriter for 1 year, and no one will ever know just how much help that Author actually had.
Except we're not talking about people being critical of their writing style, their character development, or pointing out plotholes and plot contrivances, but about allowing a vocal few to dictate the direction and events of the story.
Right. I was referring only to a post that tried being funny by calling someone an idiot and that DPC doesn't listen to what the Majority says or thinks, which again, is wrong. He very much listens, which is still a shocker to me.
I'm sure. However I would bet that most of the "constructive criticism" that DPC gets is all about how he screwed this or that up, how someone's favorite girl didn't get enough game time, how he needs to add more of someone's favorite fetish, etc. etc. Honestly I feel sorry for developers today who actually get a "fan base".
On scenario 2, if the other girls believe the MC easily (since there is no evidence on account of nothing actually happening), why bother accusing that MC in the first place? Why not just cut that subplot entirely for those not on the Sage path?
What a strange render.
And we know this how? I mean, I'm sure he sees what people say on Patreon, and on Discord, and maybe even here if he's lurking, but just because he may be aware of people's views doesn't necessarily mean he will make any changes. If DPC doesn't plan to do anything tragic or fatal to Quinn later in the game, then he shouldn't do anything to her just because some people express a disliking for her character. People may like KRJ, but that doesn't mean he should give her a sex scene if he never planned on her having one.
I think sometimes that the crowdfunding Patreon model gives people a false sense of control, that some people believe because they're paying this developer to produce content that this makes them the creator's boss and that they can dictate what kind of content gets produced otherwise they will pull their support. But they are not the bosses, they are supporters in the same way that sports teams have supporters, and just because a few of them might threaten to not buy new jerseys for the upcoming season doesn't mean you have to do the trades they want or play the team the way they want.
Only on or off? Umm...okay.
Because that could fit with the ousting Sage out of presidency plot, so it would still be central to the story. In that particular case it wouldn't mix as much with the romantic plot, no more than a fidelity check. But yeah. I don't see many relationships on that level. Jill is the only one I see getting mad for it (if it's real). But it doesn't have to happen right now, maybe a couple of episodes down the road still.
How can you lose respect for someone for changing a story you don't know about yet? That's a conundrum now, isn't it?
I have always somewhat agreed with the opposite of this. If I'm giving you money then I want to see the game and things I'm interested in. The whole false advertising thing comes to mind. If Im giving you money to support a game/fetishes and you start a new game or change the fetishes then thats bullshit. Its not about control but if the developer significantly changes his output of whatever then it serves him right for getting not so constructive criticism and a loss of $/patrons.
