Lmao you are comparing professional devs with literally 2 freaking dudes who barely both learn to code and produce a project for real. Also the engine is different so different problems they encounters, i'm not even defending VersusX but by comparing like this is just bullsheet on so many levels. Just so you know dummies, Bioasshard run on Unreal Engine 4 - full 3D real time, with real compile graphic pipeline like Shadow cache, lightning, etc... While Night Of The Witch Revenge run on Unity and being a 2.5D Side Scroller, mean lesser 3D effects they need to worry about. Not to mention D-list devs had already succeeded developing their first game is Bullet Requiem so they literally already have balance codes and assets to reuse in Night Of The Witch Revenge, and even with all that it still cost 4 Years to develop that game, just so you know Game Dev is not something you can say: " Hey let put this, let code this out of thin air and it will be perfect with no bug or problems ". Your whining should be spent for those who work on long run Visual Novel Renpy with ultra laziness not these dudes. Or maybe you wanna be a genius and help them with coding and optimizing an already troublesome engine ?
You're fucking capping bro, there is
TWO OF THEM, how is this that hard to understand? Seriously. D-lis didn't really reuse many assets from Bullet Requiem to make his game, having fucking followed the game when it was 0.12, he drew all the artwork himself, he did all the coding himself, he did all the animations himself, he did all the writing himself, he did all the level design himself, the list goes on. If we're going to go that route on games being made by 1 to 4 people, lets go to the world of not porn games.
Stardew Valley was made alone by ConcernedApe
Axiom Verge was made by Tom Happ
7 people worked on DOOM for fuck sakes
Unturned started out as a game on Roblox made by a 16 year old, which turned into probably one of the most played free-to-play zombie survival games on Steam.
Undertale was a one man show.
Iconoclasts was a one man show.
Braid was a one man show.
Dust: An Elysian Tale was a one man show.
TETRIS WAS MADE BY ONE MAN.
Regarding porn games - Anthophobia was made by one person initially, and then 2 once Sourjelly decided to hire an artist to do his gameover CGs.
LAGS who has done 2 full games now, does all his artwork, coding, animation, and gameplay by himself.
ArcaneSpoon77 is working on Personal Study alone, and that is a fairly unique game.
Mithos56 is making Sorcress Tale on UE4 while alone.
I'm sure there is a ton of other games on this site made by one fucking person, or two, or three, etc. I can tell you haven't been nearly following them for more than a year to understand that they squander money on dumb shit like side projects that nobody gives a flying fuck about. This has been a constant issue with the two of them, there's about lets see... Probably since the inception of them working on Bioasshard, been at least 20 little side projects that they blundered money on for whatever reason, like all the comics that I don't think anyone really gave a shit about.
I can tell you this much, each time they actually announced a large update for Bioasshard, they'd get a boost in patrons, quite literally before the release of Bioasshard they weren't even pulling in more than 30 patrons, once Bioasshard came to fruition, they've been on the rise. If they decided to stop Bioasshard, they'd probably lose most of the 448 patrons they got right now.
