Found the grab of Wsan saying he's going to keep his stuff under lock and key from now on:
Thank you... added citations. those are very helpful.
we don't know all we got was TOBS ragewriting the Hobgoblin Brienne Rape scene
And given how TOBS writes most of his scenes, I doubt people would like it for long.
This re-organization (assuming the Wsan post lines up with when it all happened and wasn't too long after the fact) is actually more disturbing to me, because it suggests it was Savin's retaliation against Wsan. Savin is their boss, and he allowed that content through after a rejection. TOBS's actions are like an attack dog that Savin set loose to punish an unruly employee.
Not possible anymore. Berwyn whas removed from being a companion because that woud be to much effort and hiring another writer for him would cost MONEY. So they just let his male companion version die and instead turn him like the cats into a tavern only female guest.
yeah it just made it clear that TOBS is a raging asshole (if for whatever reason it wasn't clear or you didn't know)
i still can't wrap my mind around the fact he got pissed at the people simply asking for Helspawn incest to be finished which he started
Especially as it was content that many of us wouldn't have thought of if he hadn't started it. Most of my CoC characters choose the spiderboy option for her (in one form or another), and the only times I've picked the incest is because I've gone "Oh, well I guess as it's there."
Yeah, incest isn't really something i'm into. Even when games go, "she's adopted so its not creepy, right?" But if Savin promised people something they shouldn't be surprised when people want them to deliver on it.
I feel that's Savin's problems stem more from laziness than incompetence. He could wrangle the devs to stop the bickering and infighting, but that's just too much effort. And the fact he's pretty much running TiTS now with Fen's issues including this shitshow that doesn't bode well. That's not to say that incompetence isn't a issue as well though...
I also think its because the foundation of the company is pretty rotten to begin with. Since its a mixture commission writers and staffed writers. Ignoring the toxicity of the main staff. The commission writers are under no obligation to finish story-lines or meet deadlines. Though something tells me most staffed writers/coders aren't given deadlines either. Shit gets done when it gets done. Which is a pretty bad work ethic to have. I know from working as a commission editor/writer there has been times when I would do nothing just because I didn't feel like it. I only get paid if the work is accepted and when the work is done. The only reason most commission writers don't sit on their asses all day is because they have to finish up so they can find their next job. Savin and all the staffed writers get paid at the end of the month regardless of how much content the gets put out.
That is the curse of the Patreon system unfortunately. There is no incentive to finish anything if there is no lingering sense of urgency looming over their heads and people are willing to put up with your laziness/ incompetence for a crumb of something they want. Like the Bats situation with Bubs, it took this man 6 months to write a half assed and half finished content despite him saying he was "99%" done for the longest to the point where tobs was dunking on him for it.
Ain't that the truth. Many people have already pointed out how disjointed everything feels, and I could go on and on about even more crap that just doesn't make a lick of sense. It really goes to show how important project management is. It's about the least sexy thing, but properly managing your people, setting deadlines, and making sure they don't do crap like what we see here is vital for a project with as big of scope as as CoC 2. While I don't expect the height of professionalism from porn game creators, basic shit like "don't be a raging asshole" and "keep egos in check" is expected.
I think curse is the appropriate way to describe patreon success. But, I don't envy them in the slightest. While I want be successful as a writer, I never want to have an ego so big no-one can criticize me. Humility is an important trait to for anyone seeking to improve. Not just in the arts, but sports, in tech, entertainment, and so on. While it is embarrassing to go back and look at some of my past work and realize how garbage my writing was at one point. Its part of the process of becoming a better author. And no-one should ever run from that.
