So what you are saying is the dev should release a 'dialogue only' update, but i'd assume people only play this game for the amazing render quality and we will still be waiting over a year for each update.
Let's be honest - there are tons of games with amazing-unique-marvelous-etc renders, but there's only a few games that present players with a real "story", and CI is one of such games (because instead of a usual cheap porn-plot it presents players with a psychological drama about two broken people). If this game was a text-only, it still would've been amazing.
Since patreon rewards include wallpapers in 10$+ tiers, and author makes ~1200$+ per month with ~140 patrons, it's safe to say that majority of them are mostly there for these wallpapers he makes.
Well, I'm sorry for not being a fan of 3dcg art, I guess?.. Simply mentioned that based on the opinions of people in every second 3dcg VN thread praising the art quality.
Haha, I misinterpreted your post, I thought you were saying that there's no point in obsessing over this particular game because "go play something else", like many people say, which, every time, pisses me off (because it's literally the opposite). But regarding that idea, about transforming to text-based game, I don't think it makes much sense, because it's not like he can't make or can't make time for making renders, it's that he doesn't make them. He doesn't want to, he is not interested. Especially now that he knows that not a single adequate person would support him, and he's left with only a bunch of <people_who_support_ttll> whom he despises. So switching to text-based wouldn't solve any problems.
Not entirely or maybe include the important renders first, at least the updates will be quicker, this game screams of being abandoned, I doubt ttll himself or the patrons will have any patience as time goes on, such is human nature.
What makes you think it will quicken the updates? Do you think that he can't release the update until there is an enormous amount of renders which take years to make or each render is so complex that it requires a week or so to make? The very first release he made in less than a year, according to his own words, the second one took 2 months. He made a poll around that time about how much time each update should take, 2 months was the result. So, he has an average speed of work. The average is the quality of his renders as well. So, like I said above, it won't quicken the updates. I believe, the only thing that could help in this situation is unsubscribing from his patreon and mass reporting him there (supposedly, it worked with Icstor, his big brother).
No matter how much good faith we wanna put into people, or believe that our choice is the right one and we'll surely see a return.
Duriel, "ttll" is a Russian developer, and this Russian, money is despised, as a rule, it is driven by an idea, so I doubt that it can be pressured through money.
I was getting used to the streak of no notifications for replies to this thread since the 19th... and you break that record to add this comment... That's it, I'm unwatching this.
Because posting a sneek peek and wallpaper every month is considered "communicating"
The last update was in April 2020, I doubt we will ever know how the story will play out.
trying to break the infamous M game record ?
