I asked on the discord and it's JUST turning 3 years old in like, 5 days as of writing of this, so it's even more recent.
(Chill, suprised)
Sheeet man, 3 years?
Like, damn.
There's been that polish horror gameplay youtuber that made his own scp-themed fnaf fangame, that's literally just sit-and-watch-cameras type of fnaf fangame...
No link or no page?
...it's not quadruple A quality with a full campaign, new game plus and 4 content DLCs on launch...
Never really liked those.
Maybe there are outliers but most of the time those types of games are mostly designed to engagement bait you.
I'd rather have meaningful games even if they are a bit shorter/that are fun rather then X0 hours of/endless content that is soulless or not qualitive.
Like genuinely, yall know NOTHING about game dev and it shows-
(...)
Assuming the dev isn't a full time dev who has no job/school/other life responsibilites/commits every waking moment to coding, don't expect updates to come out fast lmao (even if he were a full time dev who lives off patreon money, it still takes triple A studios with thousands of employees years to develop their slop because again, game dev takes time. Quite infamously so)
...yes; I don't have first, second or any experience or knowledge about what it entails to be a game dev.
And I don't want to pretend I do.
I do know they struggle and that
You must be registered to see the links
And while I don't know the exact ins-and-outs I at least know it's ain't an easy task.
(although now with AI things might change in ways I am not at liberty to comprehend)
(I also wanted to add a funny parody clip of someone "developing" a game just by pressing the "add gameplay" and "add graphics" button but idk how to find it anymore...)
Whereas I agree that he should be more transparent and show sneak peeks more often, the game is obviously not abandoned and it's still actively worked on. Even the polls he makes about trivial stuff shows engagement in his fanbase and not completely ignoring it(...) Especially when he does show updates to patreons, since they're paying.
This is a bit more the issue here, failed promises, lack of transparency and choices that at least to us seemed weird.
I don't think one platform should get more news/update engagement then other socials which to me at least feels like soft gatekeeping.
Yes none of us are paying, I don't speak for everyone here, but still things like delays and problems should be something that needs to be addressed to any tier or follower and not require you to pay to a certain degree or needing you to join a Discord that not everyone has an account to.
Other then that stuff like behind the scenes or WIP content and other goodies are things they are encouraged to put behind a tier subscription.
I think there would be less tension had they said stuff like night 3 getting delayed until next year halloween but who knows if that would've changed the sentiment at all from how it is today.
And that's valid to feel like that, but also don't immediately assume malice/scam.
I once heard someone mention the devs don't care about input and suggestions.
Maybe not malice but at the very least bias.
(unless it's fake news)
Not every dev can afford to trudge on full steam through updates for 3 years on a large project like that. These new additions may seem useless (...) but the dev sees that the fandom is dying for updates and so is giving us something to chew on in the meanwhile. It's less greed and more like the dev doing the bare minimum to show that the lights are still on. Even if those additions aren't all that meaningful and took the dev, like, a week or so to add. At least that's the way I see it.
Some will see it as necessary evil, others will see it as laziness, I rather agree to disagree on both sides.
Though I admit the anti cheat is a big swing and a miss but i also dont use cheat engines so i dont rly care but i get how people who use them feel
In my opinion single player games of any kind do not need anti-cheat.
In multiplayer games it is reasonable to have such but in solo games it is, personally, a waste of time and resources.
