So basically i have to use the "old" unity version to get a decent progression out of this game right? The renpy version seems like a buggy mess (no progression and the hints on the map screen not actually helping).
I am legitimately amused by people who say "if you dont support X then dont complain". Then i hear others say that THIS is a pirate site. Both parties are wrong:
I remember people were creating games in the late 80s and early 90s with nothing but their Amiga/Commodore and underpants on with no financial backing from anyone but their closest family and (maybe) friends. Now patreons do it, willingly or not, but the results are worse than they were three decades ago. Perhaps its time to shut down patreon and make people start working for a living? You know... having them earn money by releasing a quality product rather than some in-development abomination that has more bugs than an average ape has hair? Some of these devs earn more than i do per month and thats not okay, given the results of their "work". Coding is tiring but not expensive after the initial dev tool purchase.
As for pirating - pirates dont bother with alpha or beta versions - they pirate fully working games which they sometimes fix themselves (Renegade Ops expansion being a great example of becoming unplayable after just 1 launch of the game and pirates fixed it, not the devs). Also piracy (in its true form - not this sites version of it) is about competition between the various groups and, whilst not intended, advertising the games they pirate in the process. This increases the devs income as people will genuinely buy games that are good... AFTER theyve tested them first. Theres a lot more to say about this specific topic but i CBA - ive already said what ive intended.
