Surprisingly. Money is less of a problem, and most of the time, it is Time and Patience.
Example: A lot of these massive Companies and Corporations, who has hundreds if not thousands and more, Employees. Working day in and out to make a Quality Game. Fails far often, especially lately. And often, it chalks down to Time and Patience, for the game to take the time it needs to be properly polished and made, rather than half-baked or missing/lacking things in it. Then getting released, and people criticize it for lacking what was promised, or made stupid changes, or that the DLC gave the game Core Content that should of come with it, if not for free. And so on.
All we can do for Black Rune. Is to wait patiently, and find something else to enjoy, and let the necessary time pass. Since the Pastaskii did not want to get paid, only your Time and Patience. And probably some Burnout on his side. Burnout happens a lot to people who work on things mostly on their own, if not truly on their own. Same reason why i am pretty excited but also concerned for BBQ's FPS NTR Game, that has gotten my interest like a very hungry wolf circling it's slowly cooking meat, hoping for Platinum, but expecting Copper Quality.
Rant over. Take care.
