Wow. So that makes my whole argument totally false and impossible because I happened to chose the one wrong example ? Learn to read between the lines.You are aware that Barone programmed Stardew Valley completely alone? He didn`t even hire an artist or anything, he made the music, the art, the story, the pogramming everything alone. A one person project without any funding and it was his first game ever made. He started Stardew Valley after he got his university degree because he couldn`t find another job and that was his way to hone his programming skills. Barone just planted his ass on his chair and programmed from his own home the whole game. That is why I used this game specifically as an example.
So much to "bigwigs of the industry" and "small teams".
See, that's stating an opinion. "I suspect", "I think", "I wonder if". Not "dev bad dev scam all bash dev and piss on game because me mad". You don't put your opinion as an universal fact. You state it as what you alone think without putting it out as something that is "obviously true" just because you post about it.That is why I suspect when looking at Bones Tales in comparison to other one man indie developers, that the dev stretches the game progress on purpose to keep cashing in that sweet monthly subscriber money while doing very little work for it. Because when the game is done, people will stop subscribing. I could be wrong and I don`t want to badmouth any people without being 100% sure and that is why I only say "suspect" with reservation, but that slow of a progress needs a reason beside "Game making is such a long and hard progress". Yeah it is a long and hard progress, but not so long to not finish an rpg maker game the like of Bones Tales in over 3 years.
And all that above is just "my" opinion.
That's an opinion that can be respected.
I disagree, as I think not all dev for those types of games have an equal base of skill/time/motivation and such (espcially during a two years pandemic which doesn't seem like it's gonna end anytime soon), and I also enjoy the game enough that I hope it's just a matter of those factors. I might be wrong, you might be right. But you stating your opinion this way makes me want to respect that easier than those who come screaming like fucking doomsday prophets.
