It's kind of his M.O. to make things more time consuming without making it interesting, probably a consequence of him not actually playing games. In his defense I will say that this system is more interesting than what came before and I can understand why he went in this direction to make breeding more involved, it's a step in the right direction in my opinion. However I can't say the same for how portals, breeding, and gates work right now.
Is what I said about him a bunch of times. He's one of those damn devs that can't add 1 nice thing without delibaretly messing with another 4 on the process. Problem is that at some point you just stop caring about the game and even with cheats it gets tedious.

Why would someone who doesn’t play games ever decide to become a solo dev?

Like, I can understand someone studying modelling or something and joining a team just because it’s a business with lots of opportunity at the moment, without having any real passion for games; but how does one decide to start developing a game on their own via Patreon and the like without being first a passionate gamer himself?

I don't know but the pessimist in me wants to say he's doing it for the money. He's stated a few times on discord that while he doesn't play games he does like dark souls and wants to deliver the lore in this game in a similar fashion. When I found this out, all the odd decisions he has made over the years finally began to add up. I still think that if he listens to his patrons (assuming they don't just blindly agree with every decision) he can turn it around even if he doesn't see the logic in some concessions like making portals available to be unlocked from the start.
Another thing that I just can't stand. The souls-like fan game devs. I haven't played a single game developed by one of them that I could say that felt satisfying to play. Or that their lore made any logical sense, including their gameplay mecanics. Or that felt even consistent, like, at all. Specially because what most of those idjits can't understand is that those games are tricky as hell to beat but are DESIGNED to be predicatable, to behave following stable and constant patterns that makes part of the fun the idea of you discovering them and exploiting them after with whatever build you use. Still not something that every player can find fun to play but at least if you take a look at them from a designer point of view you can clearly see that all the big tittles on that regard have that same common formula. And any time when they're trash talked on being bad copies of the OG ones are precisely because they deviate too much from that predictability formula, among many other things relatable details.

God I need an essence guide please... there is no easy indication to which stat is the specific "lesser stat" to breed into a C rank to get essence level 2. So far, it's always a 50/50 once you figure out which is naturally the "greater stat" out of the three. I mean I know that the entire point is to figure it out, but honestly... I can only stomach this game so much after breeding the same shit over and over again in hoping that you get rank C on the right one.

Is this game finished? I remember playing it and giving up on the unreasonable request from the demon (?) lady on the lava map roughly a year ago. Now I have read through some release notes and have seen nothing but mechanics and balacing changes.

It’s closer to abandoned. Every four or so months, when the game is on the verge of getting flagged, there comes an update which adds essentially no new content, maybe reshuffles some of the old content to make it take longer to get through, and fixes a couple bugs, then it’s radio silence until the next time the dev’s hand is forced in this manner.

The version of the game on Steam was updated to 0.761.1, and on Patreon it remained the same, although the subscriber page now looks like this:

And honestly I can believe he's actually putting in work behind the scenes, but he's one dude working on a monumental task a full team good sized team would be taking long time with. Half a year just trying to fix bugs feels believable at the scale being worked with.
Like watching an ant try to relocate the whole colony by itself.

Dude's also crazy and keeps driving away anyone who helps or tries to help him, if what's been said here is to be believed.

All that would be an amazing and wholesome story if it wasn't for the fact that Derelict deliberately refuses to have a team working for him or with him at all AT THE SAME TIME that he also have many, MANY fetish biases that he's still actively refusing to add no matter how many times his many backers demanded him to add. Specially since many of that shit was also promised to be added in the past.

Derelict isn't a talented solo dev that works that way cause no one is able to keep up or complement his skills or he's able to pay them or not. Or that he's trying to make the world by himself. He's a dude that's not even a gamer himself who barely plays Dark Souls from time to time and even those games he doesn't properly understand how they're designed. Cause if he did, his game wouldn't be a constantly increasing grinding fuckfest (quite literally in some aspects) that it is today.

Don't get me wrong. I love this game's idea but the way that is executed, makes it so on each update feels worse than the previous.

Wasn't really meant to be praise, building a mansion by yourself when you hadn't even built a bird house before is cool and all but how it turns out is predictable. Just saying I don't think its a purely malicious act of greed as some dudes been pointing out.

I want to play this game but the lag is something that is somewhat off putting. I have a MSI Gaming Laptop don't remember which it is but an idea of what settings I should lower would be much appreciate.

Does this guy not test his builds before releasing? Wild sex is possible while giving fluids and then the game cashes, the save file is also corrupted.
