Maybe you're right, maybe not.

However, as you read in the previous post, you can clearly see that people want improvements.

In my post I have only summarized these and my own interests.

Of course this does not mean that I do not agree with you.
I also agree with you, but I wanted to emphasize that is more important that he focuses on making the content without open many branches that lead to nowhere or trying to get as much money as fast as posible and end up in an abandoned game, like most of starting devs do. If he makes something solid, then he will be able to add anything different stuff he/people wants and get money.

So.. any news with the dev? I mean if his patreon is dead, he might quit this game outright. He got twitter or smth?

I hope he won't kill development. Someone has to make this game playable.

I'm kinda disappointed with the errors in code thus far considering the length of time the content for a lot of this has already been out.

When people was talking about patreon rules and things that we all know about this kind of games, he was talking like he had all figured out... so let's wait , I can't believe someone takes so much work to do a game without a clue of what he's doing.

Another talented Russian developer. That's just not clear, why waste your time and effort on a remake of someone else's game? After all, everyone will associate BB with DS. It would be better if he made his own, albeit small, game. As the Russians themselves say: you can't enter the same river twice. :(

Big brother is not a completed game. The dev probably is planning to continue the progress of this game in future updates. Ι don't understand why are you against this except if you don't like the game which is another story. There are many good games out there that are abandoned and an effort to revive them is always welcome even by another dev. Of course this would be true if there weren't the Patreon rules. I don't know if the dev was so naive to ignore them hoping that people will not report him but as expected his page now is under review. Some games are abandoned for a reason...

victor659, the original version of "Big Brother", has a large number of remakes. Unfortunately, the quantity did not grow into quality. And although most developers just continued the game, it did not benefit from this. There was an author (DS) who had a concept (plot, story) and brought it to life. What did the new developers do? Nothing! They don't have this story, they just write a soap Opera for the game, like on TV. Alas, it is banal and boring, because there is no good story. There is simply a set of renderings with a banal description as in comics. What does the new author do? It just slightly improves the pictures, and almost using the old text. What new do I discover for myself? Nothing. I already know what will happen next. Do you review TV series? I doubt it. That's why I feel sorry for the new developer. He could make his own game, maybe not like "Big Brother", but still his own. And no one would evaluate it with the first author. A remake is a remake. He will never be the first! For a man, it's like driving someone's used car. Or how to marry a woman who had a dozen other men before you. :(

I wonder after reading what you're actually doing here? If you feel that way then just ignore this game.
At least I try to contribute something constructive with my post.

Sion.Savior, it's great that you're rooting for this game. My respect to you. But what you're suggesting was already suggested for the original version, three years ago. As they say: everything is new, it is well forgotten old. And more. I don't think the new author will stick to your wishes. In order to do this, you need to become his Manager.

I respect your opinion.
But I still wonder what you're doing here when you're so against it. Just ignore this thread and leave the field to those who are committed to the game. That's what I do with games that I don't like.
