I believe the devs are milking the shite out of their patrions. I don't know how much they make out of every platform they receive donations from, but I doubt they need much investment. The game is a 2d style very small game compared to say, a first person shooter that takes 8 years to develop. Not to mention the budgeting that goes for a game of that caliber.I did play this game 2 years ago and it was roughly at version 0.18.x now it is at 0.23.4. That does not sound like much of a progress. Is the game progressing really that slowly or is there a lot of content hidden behind these few numbers?
with that speed (0.05.0 progress in 2 years) it would take 30 years for the game to be finished. I am starting to get worried a bit because i love the game.
So we have to ask the question: where do the donations mainly go to if not the Claire's quest itself? The answer is the devs pockets. There's a problem if these small game devs start thinking they should earn bank off a game this size that's taking 5+ years to complete.
Their excuse will be that other game with the pink hair protagonist.
