Again, saying this is completely pointless and almost feels like you're insulting my intelligence. I understand why things are the way they are, that doesn't mean they should be this way. This is not any less neutral considering you're speaking objectively lmao.

So then get a real coder so that this shit isn't a bottleneck. Get another reviewer so this shit isn't a bottleneck. You said it yourself, this game is making quite a bit of money. Moreso than most indie projects. The game is making almost 400k a year. That's just under 5 people making 80k a year. 2k less from each person solves that issue, so it's 78k. So for game development to have this little content every week for theoretically 5 people working on it 8 hours a day 5 days a week is kind of strange. Especially when you consider the fact that all of this is "amateur" work as you put it. Something has to be up behind the scenes because the work - output ratio doesn't seem to be there. And I assume a big part of it comes from the fact that authors can't freely interact with each other's work, which as Shiro put it, leads to it feeling like a game of telephone.

Not trying to take a shot at the devs here. I'm just saying that the numbers seem pretty big for a game that gives out a patch like this:

  • New win scene for the Crazy Horses of Harvest Valley (by BubbleChaser)
  • New Codex: Spells & Magic
  • Lyla’s talks have been edited for worldbuilding consistency
  • Quin has more dialogue and options in various quests
  • Many bugfixes
  • Vitruvius has a new bust (by DCL)
dont diss the update it took 5 people and 40k to produce this
D=D=


sidenote idc how much they make or how little content they put on tbh the only thing im wondering about is the lack of pictures, like with a 40k budget I would assume they could toss in a few pics theres enough people I doubt they would even have to pay


this game just confuses me

because there is many games out here with 1/10th the budget that drop bigger updates monthly, with animated hand drawn, voiced scenes, with way better dialogue and writing


SO CONFUSED...

so... 5 people... 1 person pays someone to write/and or writes then someone else gets paid to correct that persons writing and then 1 person codes (and that coder is split between 2 games), and the other 3 jerk off?

did i get the workflow correct or am I missing somthing?
honestly the updates have the workflow of a solo dev thats where my confusion is
what im understanding they essentially have 1 person working on the project fulltime?(Gedan?)
while everyone else jerks off and deals with the money
give that man a raise!

Been a week and still no Berwyn update. Then again why would I even expect savco to be on time.

Must be a very cushy job at Savco other than the lack of job security, provided you're not perma-online and don't spend the entire day arguing on their dc channel.

Not surprised. Figured it would probably take awhile with Berwyn, considering all the gender dialogs that apparently have to get coded. And it's not just him, other companions could really use some updating as well. I mean, how long as poor Ryn had that stupid cage on her genitalia?

Atuga also could use some updating as well. At least Quin apparently has some new dialog options now (though I have yet to find them yet).

Ryn is male, he will always be male, when fans asked for him to go the way of Brynt (genderbent) they were told in no certain terms that they should go fuck themselves.

I'm really the embodiment of the coming for the fap, stayed for the story meme. Now, I'm frustrated I can't go kick Alyssa's demon ass.
I know a game is great when it makes me wait for the next part. See y'all again in 4 years, when chapter 3 or 4 will be released.
