origins has been in development for 9 years now?... okay now i understand those backers anger, that kind of game should of only taken 3-4 years max
Yes and no...see announcing doesn't mean "start of development" but more as "she looks into it". What should be the game about, story...characters and how would it fit into the world. Another problem was and still is that Gabe has alot of assets made for the game, not just images of scenes, but also different styles of them and things like an original soundtrack. That takes time as she has to wait for those third parties to finish said work. Also LOQO2 took a good 3-4 years and was, at that point, the biggest (as in worldmap, area maps, quests etc.) RPG Maker game made in the NSFW genre, without a team behind it.
I think a part of the problem is Gabes ambition, many would've done less what the actual Beta is and call it a finished game.
For me personally, it's the cost of costom music, sprites, images, tile assets, minigames...the things that make LOQO:O stand apart from most RPGM games, that leans quite a lot into the long development time...In addition to just Gabe going bonkers with the worlds size.
But that's the trick, there so many games to try and play, even when waiting for ones newest update, nobody can say he was "bored to death".
At least that's my opinion (and these days, those are dangerous
)
p.s. Yo Bread and helpers, keep up the good work, we "degenerates" (it's a joke people) are meanwhile waiting with patience.
