Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.07.00] [Aleksey90]

[Scorby]

here's what's on boosty.
goals
717 240.8 of 800,000 ₽ money raised now collected $7053.9154

Yeah if that's over the course of the games development, approx 4 years, that's not a lot at all.

If that's every month.... where's my pitchfork at.

this is not for all the time and the goal that the author sets can change when he wants.
found 3 copies in the web-arhive and more have already been collected there than now.
so definitely not all the time.

By the way, I read about boosty and realized that "goals" are one-time donations and not money from subscribers

Scorby,

If it was a hobby, hardly anyone would say anything. But when you earn money with it, and he apparently earns really well (minus Patreon deductions, Aleksey should be earning a good 1.5 months' salary in Russia), it's no longer so easy. Yes, he's a one-man show and yes, he does it part-time. I just don't see the countervalue to the payers' hope of getting something. In any case, the volume of updates over such a long period of time should not be due to the difficulty of developing the game. Extending dreams shouldn't be that complicated and apart from that, there's hardly anything left over for 4 months of “development time”. Especially as there was more content in the early days when he earned even less. The more he earns, the less content you get. The suspicion can arise.

If you leave out the “dreams”, what progress has been made in the game over the two years?

Overall, it's probably the Patreon model that bothers me so much. It works for everyone (Dev and Patreon), only the payers get less and less for what they paid for. Whether the model works in the long run remains to be seen. If there are more and more people like me who barely even think about finishing the “products” they are supposed to pay for, why should they start paying? Maybe I'm just too critical, I don't know.

You almost always get content early on as dev wants to build fan base for game, but just about every dev on here slows down development as soon as they get decent amount of supporters, this is the main reason I don't pay if I support you I should feel as though I'm getting something for my money.

Agree, I am willing to pay a one time fair price for a completed game or at lease you can promise monthly decent update for my monthly subscription fee.

Any full save please

 

[christopher thompson]

so are the patreons saying the latest update is so shit its not worth uploading?

 

[Dongness]

I've noticed some nice QOL changes, however content wise for me personally it was not worth the bother and you have to start a new game, as the saves are broken again.

 

[belluair]

We will wait for the first page to be updated to test version 0.7 because we are still in 0.6.2

 

[eLyz38]

Uptade?

 

[Richi 4524]

New android apk version 0.7 pleas?

 

[Lukumoide]

Personally, I think that dreams are very important in the beginning. It should be like in real life. Each of us has thought and dreamed about sex before having it in real life. Otherwise it wouldn't be possible. That's why I don't understand the hate comments. Max hasn't had sex yet, that's why he dreams about it.

The old saves don't work, you have to play from the beginning. It will be the same in the next episodes, until chapter 1 is finished. Old saves will only work in chapter 2.

Lol. Sounds like you didn't like the update?

A changelog would give a hint whether it's worth downloading or not.
