I said it once and will repost.
In my opinion, it’s been many years since this game was a game. I have followed this all this for about seven years now I believe all the way back to its original blog. Back then this was clearly a game with two guys having a dream. But once they ran into difficulties? They started to realize people would still give them money anyway just because of their attachment to the franchise and the fact that nobody has really made another proper Ben 10 game that wasn't very short and just foucused around qucikly doing gwen.
These guys realized they could just milk money out of these people and grift them nonstop and as long as they release something every few years, they will be happy. So when I say this game is no longer a game it simply is not anymore. It’s just a moneymaker, a carrot on the stick to dangle in front of people. And also have their hand in their pocket, taking out their money.
The same thing was clearly attempted with the Scooby Doo game, but they dropped it when he realized people weren’t really that into it and weren’t going to get milked like they would with Ben 10. These guys are grifters and scam artists, through and through.
Pretty much taking advantage of people with loneliness and attachment to girls that they grew up with, that remind them of better times.
I wish they could prove me wrong but for years they have proven this to be true.
And this is the reason i would never pledge in advance to an individual or group of ppl gathering around to make up a porn game based on animated series because of their subtle jokes or sex innuendos to appeal to certain group of people into this.
Fuck them and the horse their rode on for showing this kind of unfaithful practices and this is just another of many cases where these kind of people never going to be transparent while taking as priority the only thing that matters: $$$Money$$$
I say this to the end of times but if there's any honest & humble indie starter or long time NSFW indie game dev out there then the most reasonable if you're not gonna continue to push on spending time with developing the game: Pause all pledges.
The most common thing to do for whatever situation you're dealing with either if is IRL, Health related, Family related etc... if you as a Game NSFW Dev knows you cannot continue on giving out actual game builds updates, teasers or transparency reports then fucking cease all incoming pledges for the next months until you sorted out your situation.
There's even devs that feels to be so transparent and share the situation but not in deep because of privacy reasons. Yet those have the decency of letting know their supporters what's going on and what to expect during that timeframe so they take the decision of keep supporting them or pause their pledges.
Again when money it's a factor that always going to come to the table for your life expenses then it's highly understandable most devs will not pause them and they on their right to do whatever they feel it's best and the last decision relies on the supporter if to stop pledging or to continue even after it got an heads up from the dev(s) itself.
This game died for me a while ago when one of these devs said the use of AI, so respectfully also fuck that kind of practice
