Unfucking believable...Just when you think this guy has used every excuse and trick in the book. Can't believe so many people are still giving this guy money
This is a social experiment
lolYou guys are being silly. That music theory lesson was well worth 3 years and tens of thousands of dollars. Can't wait for the next lesson.
Don't know anything about his team and stuff, but I was one of the patrons since initial release, and the game has been progressing at a decent pace up to the point of the infamous Patreon purge of incest & other fetish projects. The page has been blocked, and while he was able to unban it, since it didn't really have any actual incest at that point, the development instantly stumbled hard. Many other projects didn't recover at all at that time, some devs found various workarounds ("unofficial patches" etc.), yet this one dev has dragged on updates for a year trying to postpone the inevitable inclusion of the forbidden content and risk another ban, thus loose 10k$/month (at which point I unsubbed), and since the last update released has brought the story to the point where avoiding actual incest was impossible any longer, the game has pretty much been put on hold, without any official announcement of course because why would he want to loose 10k$/month for doing nothing. Why the heck did many people continue to support him on Patreon after that for years is completely beyond me, one could probably write a scientific paper on psychology on this.Updates 1-6 seem fairly normal nothing out of the ordinary. The guys money is rising and rising each month. Peaking at around $10,000. He got in the Incest game market when the getting was good. There was no covid back then, people had jobs. Apparently he was working with a small crew of a couple of guys he hired to write and render for him. To my knowledge the other 2 devs he was working with were like. "Um... hey can we get some of that cash too buddy? We are making like 10k now, and it kinda sucks working for free." And he is like "Who is this we you speak of? That's my money bitches" So he shakes off his team mates that helped him build the game, and then he is on his own having done his first scam he got a little taste of scamming oh and it tasted good. Unclear when exactly he ditched his team.
Updates 7,8 & 9 gradually got worse and worse. At some point he probably picked up a drug addiction. He probably wasn't use to having all of that money.
Lol even Michael Jackson would rise from the dead to grab some popcorn for this thread..
jezus what a wall of text, my question is do you still feel the same ??Guys, chill. I've no idea why you think this is going to be yet another one of his excuses and scams. It doesn't make sense to keep this going until his "big reveal".
His scam was going on just fine, why would he change his MO completely? There was literally nothing that would prompt it, so it's not like he was forced to do one final push.
He had way too much time to not complete the game. He mentioned having a team, and certainly had the money to hire people, so within the scope of a year (or three years since Act I Part IX), with the money pouring in, he could have had the game completed and fully tested behind the scenes. (I only say a year because it was a year ago that he admitted he was a lazy ass.)
If that's what happened, he's now executing a perfect strategy in the way of milking his baby.
If he commissioned a CGI artist and a copywriter, their job is complete. He can reduce the number of hours for his programmer to a bare minimum as well, but still retain him to fix bugs that will inevitably appear once the game is in the hands of players.
Suppose he has the game ready. He'll reveal the Prologue today. In a gesture of "good will," he'll release it for free to all. Supporters or not, we'll all get access to it. It makes sense, he'll gain people who will want to get in on his February 28th release of Act I (Part I-X).
Last year he promised that he would give out the game for free to all patrons who supported him even just once between Part IX and Part X release. They're going to get the Act I release by end of February.
Once he whet their appetites, it will be two months until the release of Act II (April 30th). So those who sign up in February will pay for February, March, April and likely May because Patreon and Gumdrop operate on Pacific Time, so unless you stay up and download the game immediately when it drops, most of his supporters will be charged overnight (for them) for May, and even if their bank (or Paypal) doesn't clear the transaction, they'll simply lose access, so they will have to renew it for May to get access.
Next release is July 4th. So those who don't cancel in the meantime will be paying for May, June and July.
And boy, did he increase his Patreon rates in anticipation of that. He gets ca. 5 months funding from his most avid supporters and it goes up to almost four times his previous rates. So if his patron count jumps up to, say, 1000 and his average jumps 2x (from $10 to $20), he gets $20,000 a month, adding up to some $100,000 over those five months.
And I'll bet he'll have "extra content" for those who stay after July and will tease his next game (that will take another five years to develop).
Good riddance...he needs new scam so he gets more money.
gumdrop is actually banned from f95.
So he's banned. That's good, that's realy good. No one miss him here. Thumbs up for modershe needs new scam so he gets more money.
gumdrop is actually banned from f95.
Lolnope. But the level of denial from his patrons is amazing. People are still holding on to hope that he'll actually deliver by end of February.jezus what a wall of text, my question is do you still feel the same ??![]()
How he's banned?So he's banned. That's good, that's realy good. No one miss him here. Thumbs up for moders![]()
Moders banned him if I'm not mistaken. He can create fake account however.How he's banned?
Probably missed this episode. When did it happen ? I don't recall this. May be it was during summer. I'm generally off the site for a few weeks during that period.Moders banned him if I'm not mistaken. He can create fake account however.
