Okay, I appreciate that you responded to my post and used specific arguments such as that you now live off the creation of games and that you support your family, I also understand that the game is not a porn game but let's say an adult game. As for the steam version of the game I've considered buying it a few times already, but somehow it's more convenient to play it without using steam so I prefer the version downloaded from here or earlier for quite a long time from the patreon site (I was your patron for quite a long time so then I didn't have to look for your game on this site).That's false, my friend. For one reason: I lowered the money needed to get the top tier on Patreon from 20$ to 10$, I give a Steam key for free to 20$+ patrons which means you can get the FULL GAME with all updates and then delete the subscription and never pledge again.
If you take a look at the announcementsYou must be registered to see the links
you will notice that I release a bugfix once or twice every week!
0.0.25.9 : June 24th
0.0.25.7: June 13th
0.0.25.6: June 10th
0.0.25.5: June 1st
And with the Steam discounts you can get the full game for 12$ without pledging. Not bad for someone for whom only cash counts uh?
Moreover, one thing has indeed changed: I am now developing games for a living, meaning that I feed myself and my family with this, and while I do check this forum for feedback, as I always did, I have less time to reply to long posts as I had earlier, because I want to deliver the FULL GAME on December, and not keeping "milking" patrons as so many other devs do. This project will be finished, but in order to do so I need to work on it, not spending time replying to bug reports made on the forum (I read them, I solve them, I publish the fix, what else?)
And yes, people who actually pay for my games allow me to keep doing this job, so I have a special attention to them. But if I ignored this community, why post the news here as well? I have plenty of social media channels to do so...
The amount of content has improved as well: 4 exams every month, a complete story arc (I am ending every relationship in game and the main story will unravel on October), a hundred new pictures every update, new sex animations... Then again, where do you see "cash only" written on it?
Finally, about the "porn game"... General Practitioner was NEVER intended to be a PORN game, but an ADULT game which is very different. Post #14 on this thread (FOURTEEN!) already noted that: https://f95zone.to/threads/general-practitioner-v0-0-25-9-bruni-multimedia.2863/#post-61079
I'm sorry other people/website (even Patreon) say it's a porn-content game, but I never sold it for being a porn game, so I haven't changed anything about it, I always said GP is an ADULT game.
As I said many times, I want to improve and be a better developer, and posts like yours help me a lot in doing it, when they don't say something that is not true (I'm also thinking about going to a "per-release" pledge against a "monthly" one, so I wouldn't call it "cash only attitude" either). What I saw is that I don't get replies to what I post and say here like I did in the past, while games which are abandoned (Big Brother anyone?) are still in top view.
Oh, and moderators wanted to dispose of this game/thread because of some moron, and I insisted to let it stay here even though it provides a PIRATE/FREE link to people, because I love this community and I respect it. wep can confirm that to you if you don't believe it. And that's so much for a "cash only attitude".
I also understand that you have little time to reply to posts here, but since you earn your living by creating games and you decided to share them here also counting on feedback and opinions, in my opinion the local community should also be appreciated and try to answer at least these important questions. I'm not deleting as a player of course your game completely, I'll still be watching it and waiting for its final ending, and I hope you're planning to upgrade walkthrough to your game one day, because it's now available quite old and as you know it doesn't contain many new paths and content added by you, and you know your game has a lot of content and many available paths and events and without walkthrough sometimes just players don't know how to deal with the game (I admit that I have a problem with it myself, even though I have played your game many times in the last months and still haven't been able to see all the available scenes and content).
To sum up, I hope that you will continue to try to do your own games and enjoy it while giving us the pleasure of playing your games. Good luck and I look forward to the final version of General Practitioner in order to be able to judge the game as a whole.
