I agree, I don't see any disaster here. Since the release of Episode 6, some people subscribe to Patreon for a month to get a legal version of the game, then cancel the subscription until the next episode. Episode 8 was such a boom because it's the end of the season and now the DPC has plateaued. With the release of episode 9, there will be another leap.
And now if you cancel the Interlude, as well as the time to prepare the Season 2 release in Steam, and also the Christmas holidays, then you get the same 6 months.
I wish I could cancel the interlude.
You have a very odd definition of plummeting because looking these number it is a Very Slow drop off and some times goes Up by definition this is the Opposite of plummeting. Which leads me to my point
I don't see anybody disputing the fact that the releases are jam-packed. What's being discussed is that the release time is becoming too long BECAUSE they are too jam-packed. It's getting perilously close to being too much of a good thing. As I said before, recent episodes could easily have been split in more or less equal halves and come out more or less twice as frequent without too much effort.
My suggestion for you is, hold out for the next episode. I can't help you before then. But when it comes out, just play for one hour, then save and close the game. Then the next month, play for another hour. Then close the game and so on.
Hey dear TheLauraEWilson, I do not like Acting Lessons, I Love it , I adore it , or if you know stronger word , you started crying but it breaks my heart when I have to choose to save one of two innocent girls and leave the other to die of course you know I play it 3 separate times to save each one of them.Hey! I recently finished Acting Lessons and wanted to let you know that I started crying. This game is incredible, yet it tore me apart. How could you do it? How?
You forgot Easter holidays, midsummer's day, the day his dog will snatch his HD and bury it in the garden, the days he will get sick, the imperative new Interlude spin-offs (Madame's new adventures; Magnar's D&G stories; and so on), next Xmas holiday.
And what really takes the biscuit is that the vast majority doesn't even pay a fucking cent for it ?! If you all know that much better than DPC why don't you all create your own game which will be superior to this one in all aspect plus since you all are horndogs why doncha set the release dates biweekly ?!
Or better yet daily... or hourly !!!!!
I wouldn't go as far as say I despised it, but I definitely am not a fan either. I found it creepy and boring. Kinda like most every other game here, but for different reasons.
Now why would I do that to torture myself? If the release takes too long to come out but I still haven't lose interest, I'll play it the normal way like any sane person would do. If it's been too long and I lose interest, I move on. It's not the end of the world for me or DPC. Your suggestion has got to be one of the silliest way to play the game.
Dang, I've never seen such a truthful and factual statement make me sad and laugh at the same time.
This is true. The quality in episode 8 and the Interlude is so f-ing high.
And yet that's exactly what you're suggesting DPC does. Release the game more quickly in smaller chunks.
Kinda his own fault he's losing some Patrons they were getting a solid two episodes a year. The interlude was by no means a good replacement.
Obviously you can't tell the difference between forcing oneself to take a break at a random point and not finish the release vs. finishing a smaller release at a logical break point in the story.
