I agree with you that the walkthroughs do help a bit ( i’ve used two of them myself) but unfortunately due to the way the game was designed ( differing ‘missions’ with the various characters) it’s hard to get an overall sense of how the various sections of the story connect together- i’ll take a look at the walkthroughs that you have recommended though bud - thanks for your help
I’ve played DmD too bud , the developers walkthrough for that game is excellent ( although admittedly a simpler game to navigate . Fair play to the lads who posted the walkthroughs though- you can see by the sheer volume of text how much work they put into them.thanks once again for your help
I was specifically talking about
Thanks once again for your help - i’ll try using his walkthrough and see if it will let me advance further in the game ( just by giving it a quick glance so far I can tell that his walkthrough seems to be better than the others I have used - in that it’s easier to follow)
it wasn't even abandoned, it was a proper scam. A terrible example for the future of western porn games.Many users said:
Why was it a scam bud ( I thought he abandoned it because of new patreon policy ) not trying to be argumentative - just get wary when someone mentions scam
Dark Silver didn't abandon the game due to Patreon, but rather due to having lost interest in the game. DS started out well enough, but quickly began to try and please everybody, listening to his fans idea of how his game should be. He clearly had big plans for Eric, but felt forced to remove him due to pressure from his fans. With every update, you could feel his fading interest, both in his responses to his fans, as well as the game itself.
Personally I think that after Eric was forced out the game became another "harem wish fullfilment", extremely generic.
Thanks for the information bud - I think that seems to happen quite a lot with independent game creators - they just try to please “all of the people all of the time”. Not sure that having gamer polls are a great way to advance a storyline - I would imagine it would grind away at the creative nature of the maker so much so that they jump ship... I wonder if dark silver has gamer polls for his new game too? It’s a pity that he lost heart with the B.B. game - i’m not sure how far through the game I am - just hoping it doesn’t end too abruptly ( I’m playing the final version of the game - stuck at the moment though) thanks once again for your help
In every game you have to say clearly two things, fetishes that aren't optional (but perhaps avoidable under certain conditions) and fetishes that are banned (those that won't happen in the game).
I do find this game grinds (very repetitive?) doing same things day after day - story seems to jump around a good bit too - I was told about a good walkthrough yesterday by snugglepuff so hopefully that will help . I agree with you also about the male characters Eric is a bad guy cliche and the main protagonist comes off as being weak/stupid - not exactly the archetypal hero - I think the game tries to do too much - it just needed to be simpler - i’ve played dmd ,dod ,babysitter amongst others - all of which had simpler gameplay ( all or most have a similar structure too ; protagonist- two females one strong , one weak and older matriarchal figure... ) women are far more complex and diverse than that ( Tlero and mortze games are a great in this respect - wish more creators would follow their example) the female characters in B.B. showed real promise - it’ll be a downer if the game ends before I get to see their various characters develop further...cheers bud thanks for your posts
Yeah in B.B. male protagonist looks weak - is he really going to dominate/intimidate? he shares a room with his sibling from the get go ( how’s that for standing your ground) - the basic premise for some of these games seems to be very generic - how about sharing an apartment with some other college students / professionals? ( game would introduce different characters as people move in and out..) getting back to B.B. game seems disjointed - you might go days doing the same thing (saying the same thing) only to have one of the other characters do/say something out of the blue to open up another path in the story - it’s like waiting for the planets to align... as i said earlier i’ve been using a walkthrough to help - without a walkthrough it would be like parachuting blindfold into the amazon and having to find your way out.. the whole family thing is very big in these games ( I like the idea of patches that enable choice) - story I find is the most important thing - although disjointed B.B. ‘s central story is great it’s just the rest seems to be unnecessarily complicated ( just my opinion)
He had a lot of arguments with his patrons, for example he had added NTR content while the majority of his patrons voted against him, he didn't add watching cams function even though it was one of the top requests etc, and at the end he abandoned the game at the first chance. Now, I am all for creative freedom for developers and I despise pateron for their sudden policy changes. However when what you're co-developing the game with your followers and a good amount money is involved, stopping abruptly without a good excuse(health issues, cops etc) is immoral IMO. Just rename the game as Big Step-Brother and add a short, clear ending even without more content instead of letting it stay unfinished, won't you? :closedeyesmile:
Yeah I agree bud - did he refund any money to his patrons? There are developers out there that only get paid on patreon per major upload ( not monthly like most) that seems more reasonable to me.As has already been stated in this thread ( I think) other developers found creative solutions to the policy changes that were implemented I would imagine that he could have done the same too.Maybe he just got fed up with the game ( if that was the case he should have returned patrons money) It is disappointing when developers abandon projects before completion not just because of the monetary loss ( players are essentially paying for a substandard product - with no recourse for compensation - say it took 6 months to develop that could be $60 dollars gone for half a game.. ) but also they have usually committed substantial amount of time actually playing the game. I don’t think that would fly in other industries - going to a movie an having it end abruptly 45 mins in... there would be a riot..I have been playing his game B.B. it’s quite frustrating ( even following the walkthrough suggested by Snugglepuff - he was right it’s a good walkthrough ) it’s the game that’s the problem ( been doing exactly the same thing for six game weeks - nothing.. ) as I said in an earlier post it’s like waiting for the planes to align.. thanks for the heads up bud
