Unity Five of a Kind [v0.4.0.2] [JorogrArt]

[Scubatropin]

I do a lot of editing - its hard for the creator to find errors/mistakes. I'm willing to do this for you Jorogr if you wish. (By the way The Wolff's house no longer appears in my inventory, so much for squatting in my neighbor's house.)

Isn't it kinda funny how all these devs always have "issues" making them unable to finish updates? I'm not saying it's bullshit in this case, but there so many of them... And I'm kinda reluctant to believe them since the dev of Summertime Saga and WVM.

Hello! Thanks for your post.

Looking through your post history, it looks like this is your first post in this thread. I suspect if I asked you who Meredith's sisters were you wouldn't have an answer, for example.. You clearly are narrowly focused on the topic of game devs who are late on their updates and/or disappointing their fans.



I don't disagree with your "Mission," Harvey Dent. I may even agree with it. I think it's bullshit when people are being milked out of their money.

However, the problem you have is that this game is 100% free and while I do monetize the game on kind of a "tip jar" model, I do so on "if you like what I'm doing, throw me a few bucks a month." That currently amounts to about $350 a month.

I'm currently charging people $1-$3 a month. When I was late in December, I froze accepting payments for a while until my subscribers voted that I should resume them.

If you're the "hero we need," I think your attention should be directed towards other games and not this one.

Cheers!

It's funny to read comments from eternally dissatisfied people who have not paid a dollar for the author's time. Understand already that no one is obliged to you. JorogrArt, I hope your interest will not be lost from such people. Work as much as you consider necessary.

Like I said, bud, I didn't say it's the case with you and this game, I just said I'm skeptical. Why did you feel the need to post a wall of text to defend yourself?
Edit: holy shit though, the fucking capeshit references... I imagined a soyjack while reading it.
Edit 2: I didn't even criticize the game, I love it. Honestly it's one of the best games of this type on this site. I just said I'm kinda sick of milky devs

I post walls of text all the time because I am thoughtful and I enjoy engaging with folks, further evidence that you're a "newb" to this thread and would fail a basic trivia check about the game. It's not surprising that you are not familiar with that style of developer engagement, because your entire Core Brand Proposition appears to be going around to F95 game threads looking for games that are late and taking a big diarrhea dump in the thread.

Listen, there's a game out there called Family Business II that is absolutely MILKING their followers and I can't stand it. If you could nuke them into outer space, that would be great.

Be the Hero that Gotham City Needs, Harvey Dent!

Damn good reply, amazing how you can continue doing this so calmly when people speak about the same things over and over again. I like your style, keep at it man!

Thanks for stopping by!

This is my favorite game. I am here for Meredith but I do like the other characters. I am also so happy that you like to interact with your players.

Bro, just ignore them and all the hate. Its pointless talking them when all they want to do complain and about something they have no control over.

You're making a great game here, so don't let these comments get to you.
As you said, "this game is 100% free," you're not in the wrong here. They're just being a bunch of cry babies.

The update is wrapping up and I consider it 99% complete. The past few days I have played the entire game a few times over, which takes a long time. Speedrun the game some time, unlocking every character and bonus activity and tell me how long it takes you. Every time I do a playtest, I find little bugs, many of which were in the previous version.

I just want to put the best version of the game out there that's possible and minimize the need for multiple hot fixes. I know the update is late. I'm sorry about that. It'll be ready very soon.

you're doing this shit for free bro appreciate you, your game is fire!!

 

[DanteRed]

Just so you know JorogrArt, you are appreciated and I know how much of a struggle it is to create a game. Tried my hand in creating a Renpy game and gave up after a month, since I realized I didn't have the necessary patience or discipline. And Renpy is an easy engine to use, can't imagine how much harder it is to do so in Unity. Wishing you all the best!

Case study number....im not even fucking counting anymore....on why devs should ignore pirate forums and just create their game and communicate with their paying supporters.

yes and no as paying supporters can be an echo chamber. Especially when the devs start catering/caving to something beyond their intended scope with the vocal minority EX the futa and fur fetishists. Being a good vocal dev can also help bring in supporters and helps strengthen the bond with those external supporters who will come to the devs defense against misplaced and/or malicious attacks.

Isn't it kinda funny how all these devs always have "issues" making them unable to finish updates? I'm not saying it's bullshit in this case, but there so many of them... And I'm kinda reluctant to believe them since the dev of Summertime Saga and WVM.

Not to harp on this, apologies, but my PoV, devs who I'd consider have failed almost always have either ... 1. much longer release cycles, and/or draw much bigger incomes from fans, and/or promise much grander/constant things, and/or have really subpar updates for how infrequent they are. Often all four of those things. I've never really felt any of those red flags came up with Five of a Kind, the dev oozes honesty and the game is what it is, a little smut incest game with a fun skeleton of old adventure games.

You probably didn't mean too much ill intent but this game doesn't even share the same planet as something like "four years for a tech update" after having fans vote on what girls to make routes for next.

Speaking of fun incest games, how is this one still around? I am seeing more and more games skirting around incest to the point it clashes with the games' tone, from the fear of Patreon TOS.

Yeah I don't know why people took it so hard, but all I said is I'm kinda sick of milking devs that always happen to have "real life stuff" get in the way of updates. But like I disclaimed, I'm not saying it's the case for this game because I don't know for sure.
