Episode 6 - Preview #5: Isabella & Sage
CHICK doesnt sound nice though Lol
I get why he did it because of the rhyming and the style of the game, but really the DIK/CHICK path choices are really just choosing between being a gigantic frat bro and a like relatively normal, reasonably nice dude who is also in a fraternity and does fratty stuff. An example of the way that DIK or CHICK affinity changes the MC's dialogue on complimenting girls from "Wow, you look great in that" to "wow, that's hot", often with the kinds of results you'd expect based on the temperment of the girls.It isn't mean to be nice. At least to me it's saying you are a wussy / sissy / wimp / goody-two-shoe . Not really a "chick magnet".
I would say greed, he's now at a point that he earns so much that he could open a game studio and hire ppl and still have a shit load of money... the lame excuse answer that he gave on his Q&A is just that a lame excuse, doing this form passion yeah passion with steam release too cuz patreon wasn't enough you just have to read post #2 on this thread to realise what kind of a dude he is, don't get me wrong his games are one of the best if not the best but he as a person, yeah i have my doubts...What’s stopping DPC from increasing their fundraising goals so that they can hire a team? This seems to be a very ambitious project. Have they ever spoken about this?
surely he is jealous of his work, and it seems legitimate to me.I would say greed, he's now at a point that he earns so much that he could open a game studio and hire ppl and still have a shit load of money... the lame excuse answer that he gave on his Q&A is just that a lame excuse, doing this form passion yeah passion with steam release too cuz patreon wasn't enough you just have to read post #2 on this thread to realise what kind of a dude he is, don't get me wrong his games are one of the best if not the best but he as a person, yeah i have my doubts...
I wouldn't call it a lame excuse. If you know what you want out of your game and story, it's better to do it on your own instead of hiring someone and having to explain all the details every single time, or worse, have to redo it yourself eventually. Some also want him to work with other devs, which in my opinion will only lead to conflict of interests sooner or later. Personally, if i were DPC, i would do it by myself as well. Not everyone enjoys babysitting others.I would say greed, he's now at a point that he earns so much that he could open a game studio and hire ppl and still have a shit load of money... the lame excuse answer that he gave on his Q&A is just that a lame excuse, doing this form passion yeah passion with steam release too cuz patreon wasn't enough you just have to read post #2 on this thread to realise what kind of a dude he is, don't get me wrong his games are one of the best if not the best but he as a person, yeah i have my doubts...
Dude you make him look like he's the greatest game developer in the world and he know it all, you realise that are ppl way more experienced and who know more about game developing who in fact i think it would only help this game to get better, it's all about team work afterall not about "babysitting" cuz DPC didn't invented the weel, c'mon think...I wouldn't call it a lame excuse.

thanks so much, i would probably be a patron, but i deleted patreon after they banned sargon of akkad so cannot support anymore, also thanks for posting the rest of the updates
Did i say he's the greatest, or that there aren't more experienced people out there? I didn't say anything about these things so why are you randomly throwing in these assumptions? If he would've started this project with someone else then sure, i'd agree, but bringing someone else in halfway through isn't that great. Not when it comes to creative work and not if you don't like working with others. He has people for proofreading and playtesting from what i know and that's enough.Dude you make him look like he's the greatest game developer in the world and he know it all, you realise that are ppl way more experienced and who know more about game developing who in fact i think it would only help this game to get better, it's all about team work afterall not about "babysitting" cuz DPC didn't invented the weel, c'mon think...
I agree he needs to find a way to better use his resources, however I can understand why he wouldn’t want to start a studio or something similar. Once you go from being the self Employed to being the boss of even 2 or 3 people life is suddenly much more complicated. You’d have to be able reply on the other employees to relieve more stress than being the ‘boss’ creates.I would say greed, he's now at a point that he earns so much that he could open a game studio and hire ppl and still have a shit load of money... the lame excuse answer that he gave on his Q&A is just that a lame excuse, doing this form passion yeah passion with steam release too cuz patreon wasn't enough you just have to read post #2 on this thread to realise what kind of a dude he is, don't get me wrong his games are one of the best if not the best but he as a person, yeah i have my doubts...
These are some great ideas, but it's optional content, so i don't see him being in a hurry to do any of this. I do recall him mentioning voice acting for the complete game if i'm not mistaken and also something about drawings.I agree he needs to find a way to better use his resources, however I can understand why he wouldn’t want to start a studio or something similar.

My ideas where he could use the money while maintaing creative control;
Voice acting (I think for these games to go to the next level this will be necessary)
Hire an animator. Not for the game, but commission short films using the character models.could be animation of existing in game events or new stuff. Could be cool to get say a 5 minute animation of the sex scenes or what have you.
Commission a comic book artist. DPC could still write the stories but an artist could draw them. Either to flesh out the world or as an adaptation.
Hire someone to make more ‘gallery’ content. He can still control it but it’s less important than the general content
Was going to say something similar. For example, let's say he got 3 other people to help out with renders or something. He get's what he needs to do for the update done and maybe or two of the others do as well, everything's ready to go and then something happens to the third person and they can't finish for whatever reason. Well now the update is delayed for however long it takes for that person's problem to be resolved before they can finish and release it, that's a reliance that some people just don't want to deal with and I can understand that.I agree he needs to find a way to better use his resources, however I can understand why he wouldn’t want to start a studio or something similar.

If I recall correctly, DPC had a poll about VA, and most of the people deemed it 'not so relevant' or unimportant. I agree tbh, of course you don't have the voice for a particular character, but, at least for me, it doesn't take anything away from the experience. Certain facial expressions (smirks, grins, etc.) set a good tone for the characters in generalThese are some great ideas, but it's optional content, so i don't see him being in a hurry to do any of this.

A thing that's also a consideration about farming secondary stuff like the renders off to a subordinate is that, for creators who are Patreon-dependent, a lot of their income comes from a fairly small selection of their Patrons, and what those people are actually paying for is direct interaction with the creator and the belief that their opinions and ideas and suggestions are getting heard. That's also what all of the render/preview/poll stuff he does is about - keeping those people engaged, because there's a good chance that the, like, top 30-40 patrons of his 7400+ supply like 20-30% of his total income.Was going to say something similar.

Dude i sayed that you MAKE HIM LOOK like he's the greatest from your post, read your post again, you can bring ppl around at any time doesn't matter if it's the start, middle or finish of a project, you can have meetings where you can tell your ppl your vision and what you want from them, it's not like ppl don't work in teams and he is the first who need to try it... for me his reasons are pretty obvious, let's not forget that DPC was an active member around here with his first game but once he hit the jackpot he retired in his ivory tower and now he hates our pirates guts...Did i say he's the greatest, or that there aren't more experienced people out there?

You know that there are game developers around here who do that with way less income...Adding additional help is much, much more complex than people tend to portray it as, and the way people talk about it usually tells you if they have any experience in a hiring/firing supervisory role in any business.
There's a big difference between paying folks as contractors or just one-off, under the table stuff and having actual full time employees.Dude i sayed that you MAKE HIM LOOK like he's the greatest from your post, read your post again, you can bring ppl around at any time doesn't matter if it's the start, middle or finish of a project, you can have meetings where you can tell your ppl your vision and what you want from them, it's not like ppl don't work in teams and he is the first who need to try it... for me his reasons are pretty obvious, let's not forget that DPC was an active member around here with his first game but once he hit the jackpot he retired in his ivory tower and now he hates our pirates guts...

Saying that some people don't want to work or take responsibility for others and enjoy having a solo project makes him look like he's the greatest? We clearly have a very different understanding of what makes someone stand out so i'm going to end this discussion here.Dude i sayed that you MAKE HIM LOOK like he's the greatest from your post, read your post again, you can bring ppl around at any time doesn't matter if it's the start, middle or finish of a project, you can have meetings where you can tell your ppl your vision and what you want from them, it's not like ppl don't work in teams and he is the first who need to try it... for me his reasons are pretty obvious, let's not forget that DPC was an active member around here with his first game but once he hit the jackpot he retired in his ivory tower and now he hates our pirates guts...

Which is good because voice acting in these kinds of things is overall pretty crummy because it's basically just a bunch of canned moans, groans, and fake orgasm noises that generally don't sync properly with the animated scenes they get attached to and generally sounds terrible.If I recall correctly, DPC had a poll about VA, and most of the people deemed it 'not so relevant' or unimportant.
