OK, not going to call it too heated, as this discussion has been pretty fair all across the board.
But I will say, and this is just coming from me, if you like a game, and you can, please do donate. Even if it's only a few bucks a month every little bit helps. Nearly everyone in this space works their butt off getting these games out. High-quality stuff like you see here, from Hopes, Domiek, motkeys, Belle, and Mr. Knobb, to name way too few, isn't cheap in either time taken, or cost of assets. Nearly everyone here also codes their own games as well, so add that on to the commitment. The dark secret of this community is that if a game breaks even for the cost of assets they are lucky. If a dev is able to make a real living off of it? That's not quite hit the lottery rare, but still pretty rare. And that cost isn't counting the hours that are put in each and every month, which even if you wanted to say was paid at minimum wage, would be even more. I can also count on one hand the number of devs I know of who don't also have a day job. Devs as a general rule do this because they love it.
So please, donate when you can, if not to us, then to another game you love. (We won't say no, though!) If you honestly can't afford it, or have other issues, no one will judge you for it, but help in whatever ways you can. Tell others about CoBD, and all the other games that are special. Put one of Krull's awesome sig banners down there with a link to the Patreon, tell any let's players you like to give us a shot. In a space like this, every little bit helps. Philly has IMO the best fanbase in the adult gaming space, so let's expand it!
I like the community in this thread a whole lot, there is great discussion here and people are respectful, which is something that cannot be taken for granted around here. I for one am always psyched to read your reactions and speculation both here and on our discord. And I hope to see more of it, some of you might even be getting close to figuring some stuff out.
