And it is so stupid because Steam is a one-time purchase and not a monthly income, yes it probably was a lot of quick money but is not the same. The big reason he has been able to make the game so far is for you guys, you must be the top priority.
There is a lot of seasonal AAA games on steam this is nothing new. Are you saying he should wait until the next update TO FIX THE GAME?
You can always search on "This thread", there is no problem helping but just to let you know.
It's not a "sellout" thing. If it was "for the money," then trying to push people to do the Patreon is smarter, because on Steam people are paying a lot less than they would be if they were paying monthly. So yeah, you *can* tell who does it for the money: People who restrict their games to Patreon, forcing someone to keep paying monthly if they even just want bug fixes.
EVERY bit of software has this issue. Even with a QA team, there's going to be scenarios they don't test, because people will try things that aren't how you expected them to do things (like saving with special characters). The game's pretty polished as it is. I don't see why people are overreacting to the idea of patching a few bugs. It's good to get those things patched rather than leave them broken.
I previously had same thought: https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-v0-4-2-dr-pinkcake.25332/post-2954345
The first season *is* done and is on Steam. Steam-only users have to wait for Season 2 to be completely done before they can play it, whereas Patreons get the episodes as they're done. You don't seem to understand how the Steam release was done.
It's not even close to scamming. You clearly don't know how the Steam version works, how Steam works, or even how Patreon works. If you want to scam people, keeping it Patreon-only is the way to do that.
I don't think many people know just how many variations the game has. I've gone through it four times now, not counting a couple of times loading a save at a fork in the road and trying another path, and there's a LOT of content you'll never see if you play through once. I know there's a lot of games that are kind of linear and don't have branching narratives like this, but it's a lot of work that I appreciate because it adds to the replay value. On top of that you've got the variables such as the DIK/Chick scale which also modifies how the game goes. Heck, even how you react on things like Swyper changes parts of the story. There's a lot of moving parts. For one person to be doing all of that, I have to give some serious kudos. I think my own background in programming helps me recognize just how much work it is.
Your game is I-N-S-A-N-E, unfortunately I can't afford it so I gave you my feedback instead !
