Yeah. Though I haven't played the game in months, I'm still here. Am I hoping that things will turn around and Kate will have real content again? I don't know.
It won't, because of the $40 patrons crying and bawling so much that this slowly transformed into BB.
I feel that Silver's creativity will forever be dictated by the $40/month crowd. I personally haven't touched this game since around 0.38. If he were to start another game, he'd likely make the same mistake again.
I have no idea as to his living expenses but it's the one of the dumbest things he's ever done.
People like Max? No, they don't. They like Ann, Kira, Alice and Lisa. Max is a dickweed.
People like Kate? Probably. I did. But I also liked Julia and Sophie.
What I didn't like about the game (back when it was updated on a 1:1 basis) was the generic standing pose he used for every girl. A little bit of work is all that would have been required to give them all even slight variations.
Max should never have been moved into Kate's classroom. Wasn't the original idea to have him placed in classroom 2 or something and have only limited interactions with those in classroom 1? I'd have been fine with that.
Making a game is difficult, true. But taking the easy way out and letting the people throwing money at you tell you how to make the game? Giving the players the power removes all sense of surprises. It's like using a debug cheat in a 90's video game just because the stage/boss is kicking your caboose.
