Yeah, I think that this style of game isn't always the best for Patreon has to release, but what are you going to do? The man is ambitious, I think I've said the same in this very thread. Part of my concern is that we really haven't seen a gameplay loop yet. Since everything is on rails it is REALLY easy to not have enough money to say, fix your house or have you up the wrong stat or what have you, or at least it was in the last version I played which was 0.8. I want this game to do well and meet it's potential, but for a 1 man team, it's going to be rough dealing with this many variables, especially when he's giving you stat points to women you won't see again until you get to a city or what have you.
And yeah, gonna cheat. I just noticed in this new version that you lose stamina for Sprinting. Now that's just bad game design in a game where stamina is so important and sprinting is simply a convenience.
