Now if someone really wanted to be a conspiracy theorist they would mention how both '777' and joshua tree are bibilical references which is a VERY odd coincidence when it's two people always agreeing with each other. That makes me think you either know each other or are the same person.

But hey what do I know?
In another thread a guy did reference me as to growing in his back yard... More true than any biblical reference, lol...
There been those that taken a dig at my avatar pic, so why not my nick as well :p

I will give you a couple references.....

Finally got myself banned from Gumdrops discord for speaking the truth. No doubt Abby abusing the power he/she has been given, as I certainly didn't break any rules. Wasn't much point hanging around anyway, mainly due to the fact that Gumdrop almost never says anything of substance on there, thus no-one is any the wiser from hanging around. Regularly devolves into pointless shitposting or days of silence. Oh but did you hear? The update will be out soon ladies and gents. Gumdrop ComingSoon Games®

I really understand your disappointment. And I know that my claims may seem shocking to some. This is because I try to be driven by logic, not emotions.
Anyway, it is kind of funny, because I've already expressed my disappointment with delays in another thread, and I referred to Gumdrop as an example of a creator who had potential, but failed the trust of patrons and other players.
Uhhh...logic? Dude, if you were in the position where you could collect 8000+ a month(96,000~ a year), and I gave you a holiday well over 12 months of "You can do whatever the fuck you want", would you take the money and go skip off to whatever vacation your heart desires, or would you grind out the work like an honest gentleman?

There are far better games, with far better renders, being churned out monthly, on far better games, and they're in the same position this fuck-stick is in(single person working on everything from coding to dialogue to rendering). Guys like Gumdrop set a bad precedent for the entire genre. After all, why put any effort in when you can just spend a few months on renders then rake in thousands of dollars while your audience is left scratching their retarded heads?

Think about that for a second: The guy is likely making far more than you do per year, for little-to-no work, no merit, no effort - just collecting a paycheck off horny gamers for nothing. Now, folks on F95 don't generally buy into patreon donations so it's very easy to delve into a severe lapse in judgement when it comes to blatant scams - really, I get it. But realize there are roughly 1,000 people, dropping 10~ dollars per month on nothing. I remember when I was strapped for cash back in the day and I could just barely rationalize my World of Warcraft subscription(addiction) of $15 a month. Something I could actually play, that got updates once in a blue moon, and had far more gameplay content than some bum-fuck hold-ctrl-for-porn 'video game'. Have you even "played" Dual Family? The guy can't even be fucked to use proper english nor grammar.

Nigerian email "You've inherited millions of dollars!" scammers don't make nearly the profits this massive twat does, and they at least work harder for the 100-200 dollars they may or may not get for their efforts. You sir, are a moron. If not a moron, then the dev himself masquerading as a moron - but a moron none-the-less. I apologize mods, it needed to be said(I happily accept the warning/ban/etc). Gumpdrop hasn't earned nearly 6-figures a year, therefore he doesn't deserve it. To argue against that is to argue against a meritocracy ie what every gamer swears by(Nearly the entire porn game audience).

Dual Family should just be obliterated from this website along with any other Patreon-based porn games that go 6+ months without an update while still collecting money. If anything I'd suggest they be on a stickie'd blacklist of games not to support or even express interest in. I can go on the latest updates section of F95, limit the search to the last 365 days, go to the last few dozen updates and there's pages upon pages being well over 50% "abandoned" up until...sub 60s where we're entering the non-half a year period? WE enable that shit. It's criminal and we as a site and community actually play a role in that nonsense.

I'm very happy pirating all these games, getting my jollies off, and supporting the select few that I like. I'm not happy that people are getting robbed by some shmuck living in a run-down shanty of an apartment building with a computer and internet connection in bumble fuck nowhere-ville.

/end rant. EDIT: No, I did not buy into Dual Family, I've lurked this site for a couple years now, I know better.

EDIT EDIT(Because this rant came off more hostile than I intended): Btw, my dude, if you're going to play devil's advocate, expect to get burned. Setting your stage with "Why don't you have any empathy for Gumdrop? Are you asking about the release date of Dual Family: Act I Part X? Take a deep breath. Let it out slowly while thinking the words: It will be ready when it's ready." will almost never go well, especially when you then go on to advertise his patreon for funding he hasn't earned. I've seen your posts in other threads, I'm not sure why you'd take a defensive stance in favor of the developer. Without proper elaboration, this just comes off as condescending and arrogant. You don't get to pout and back-pedal when you instigated the easily foreseeable dogpile.

I could argue you spent on WOW for nothing as well. Because in my book, WOW is a time waste and worth nothing, but for you it was worth something right? Francis is that you? The thing is what people spend their money on is highly individual and not for us to decide over. Even how much a waste of money, time, effort whatever it is in our eyes. From grapathron you can see GD's patreon's is highly "swing door". It's not like there is 1000 people that keep drop 10 bucks every month over and over. More like new fish get reeled in. There is enough content already that make some people prone to pledge with a promise for more that have a hard time materialize anytime soon, if ever at all.

Oh yeah, and.... shame on you for helping enabling the bad practice of Blizzard-Activision :p

Also you probably shouldn't accuse someone of not use proper English or grammar, as you not exactly prime example yourself. A lot of the game creators on this site doesn't have English as their native/primary language.

I'm not so sure about label creators you do. There is no given that a creator on Patreon need to release monthly, or even quarterly updates to whatever they do. It's up to people individually if they want to support someone or not. For some creating games is just a hobby they spend some time on when rl give room for it. For others its more or less something they spend full time on.

With you being happy about pirating and get your jollies off (like a honest gentleman), not costing you a dime, why does it bother you anyways?

Is that dude - Kyle - your bro? your best buddie? :sneaky:

Feel free to browse through my posting history, it's not a big secret. It will put your math to shame. But don't worry, there is always help and aid. Might I suggest start with an abacus?

First of all, if you're going to start this back 'n forth repetitive cycle of grammar nazi-ing in a forum post, you should at least learn how to add an "'re" whenever you're trying to make a point on grammar. I'm not being paid thousands of dollars to write an eloquent dialogue. My sole exigence(Thank you English 101) is that this website is basically free publicity for these patreon games and we as a community facilitate this nonsense.

Second, yes, that was my point in terms of WoW. If I can't reasonably justify spending 15 dollars on arguably hours of "entertainment", if we can even call it that - then it's hard for me to see the reasoning behind spending 10 dollars on a few hours of wank material.

Third, wtf? If you honestly believe it takes someone months to render a couple hundreds images of the same 2 models + some furniture, you are fuckin' high.

Fourth, wtfx2? The guy's earnings are nearing the top 10% of the USA wage bracket off the slowest, laziest porn game I've ever seen(and I've seen a few, most of them have the decency to just close down after a while).

Finally we get to the crux of the matter. Why does it bother me? Because it sets a precedent, like I said if you could be bothered to actually read before replying. Just like what served as the impetus for your jab at WoW and its devs(somehow at my expense?), it applies the same, here. The more porn game devs get away with, the further the line gets pushed back, the worse the games get, the worse my wank experience gets, the worse my mood. You might be happy blissfully whittling away your standards for new (literal)shit, but I am not.

You do not fuck with a man's porn. Roll the motherfuckin' credits.

You didn't just talk about GD in your post when you referred to creators, you kinda cut everyone over the same cloth. Very few does reach up to that kind of support. And if income alone should judge the creators, wtf should we say about like Dark Cookie, Team Nimbus and the other's that really high up there. I seen a creator on this forum take flak for milking it and when checked his patreon he had 2 patreons.

Some try do it full time, some only have a few hours spare a week next to job and whatever rl obligations. Just because someone put up a patreon page doesn't mean they have all the time in the world to sped on their project. Majority of these creators doesn't seem to be native English speakers, so rag on "bad English" in games is the least I do. With enough support creators might be able to afford to hire someone that does translation, or proof reading, because such doesn't come "free". But very few creators can afford such.

If someone decide to pledge to a creator on patreon, regardless if it some old lady doing cooking lessons on youtube, or someone making an adult game or whatever. I doubt no one forced them to it, little more than someone forced you to sub to WOW. What you, or me see as value mean jack shit, because for others it's value to them. Also by your own reasoning you pirate and get your jollies for free. So if you get a terrible wank experience... hey maybe you should invest in a better one :p
