I don't think it's a good pace at all. Like I said earlier at this rate the game is never getting finished. I'm okay with that, but it's a shame, since it actually had a good story unlike most games here.
What i meant is he chose his job/career over making this game and that's fine. I'd argue it's actually the logical decision even. But then you can't expect game funding. Not saying he was, as this never really evolved beyond a hobby to a serious game development project.
I think history proves otherwise so far with this game. Unless I'm confusing him with someone else, I believe he's also only a couple of years out of college or whatever. So he's young and has a long time to finish this. You can doubt if you wish, but the dev's track record so far makes me believe that he'll absolutely keep working on this when he can and that he
will eventually finish.
Saying this is just a hobby sounds wrong to me, like he doesn't take it seriously or anything. No, he's not making a business out of this, but he does excellent quality. I'd call that passion rather than merely a hobby. But that's probably just my own life experience tinting the meaning of the word.
And I understand you're probably comparing this with other games and so don't consider the pace to be good. But rendering engines (Daz, HS, VAM, AI, etc.) make things far faster than doing everything by hand. I would strongly suggest that comparing in this way is both unfair and unrealistic. Hand-drawn art has always been much slower, obviously: it's why we have computers, to do things much faster and more efficiently then we ourselves can. Since a person can't really compare this in any fair manner in terms of time spent with the tools most devs use for VNs — and if that person is truly honest about it, they really cannot fairly compare — I continue to believe that Worlaix is doing an excellent job at an absolutely acceptable and good speed. So, agree to disagree, I suppose.
I gave you such a reaction because the Abandoned tag sounds to me like the author is a swindler who abandoned the game as soon as it stopped giving him money (or another option - as soon as he thought he got enough from it). In my understanding, this game does not deserve such a tag, because there is no scamming here (unlike some Woodchester with its micro-updates and pompous announcement statements).
Still doesn't explain why you put an angry reaction on
my post. I merely explained something; I never said I thought this dev was scamming anyone. I don't believe he is. If you're pissed at someone, bitch at the staff who make the rules. Being actually angry because I explained
their rules is just ridiculous. But apparently clarifying things triggers you.
