And what? You can't live without an abandoned tag...
The last update was released in March u shit brain. Also all the content was new and there was no repetition
Because despite how terrible the devs are at releasing stuff they have shown promise. Games here are 90% garbage and what remains of that 10% most of it is made by unreliable devs. We're not here shitting on Gunpowder Cocktail because it suck, we are here shitting on Gunpowder Cocktail because at one point it looked very good, but dev lack of openness, lapsing schedule and overall poor decision have soured our interest in the game. You wouldn't catch me typing in a thread of a shitty game.
Well it's still good. In fact, if you ask me, the renders get better and better with each new update. And what broke the developer's sharing tune was definitely when he got reported and banned from patreon because of the little whiners. Because until then he was running on a great sharing schedule.
Nah, what broke the rhythm was focusing on a Steam release when fuck all nothing has happened in the game. Creating a SubscriberStar account takes minutes. Getting validated by Steam can take a whole year. In fact i'd say Steam is the cause of most great games delays. It's mostly why I stopped supporting devs because the minute they build a somewhat sizeable number of patron/subs they see us as acquired customers and look at Steam as the gold rush. Suddenly there's no new release for paying subs. All focus goes toward releasing on Steam. That's somewhat fine when the game has had a successful development and the story has progressed (Think NLT, BaDick, Timestamp, etc.) But Gunpowder simply never delivered on anything. Hell we were waiting on a normal release and this guy decide to stop and instead work on a Holiday special that he failed to deliver on time and instead released an half-baked nothingburger.
Well, I could agree with you, but you're missing a point when comparing with other developers. This guy didn't do this when things were already going well and he was rolling in money.
He never had thousands of subscribers. In fact I'd be surprised he had more than 200 at his max. Right now he has 56 on Substar.
What I wrote was only for giving an example.
found it. Highest lifetime is 119. So it's half what he has right now after 5 months of fuck all to show.
You should check the graph on the right(it says 190), the one on the left does not show the number of instant subscribers.
Using real factual data is absolutely correct. Patreon charge monthly, not daily. See the massive dip? that's because there was a single day of overlap between may subscriber and june subscriber. Any way you see this it's not much. at best he got 1.2k per month. That's not livable wage in EU or NA so let's drop this notion losing patreon cost him his livelihood.
-Comparing current subscribestar data with patreon data from 1 year ago is WRONG. Byte's popularity a year ago is not the same as now. The steam release alone must gave him millions of interactions. If he had not been banned and continued in the same way, he would have maybe 500 subscribers on patreon right now.
Steam release does not equate to subscriber. Why would someone buy the game and then subscribe to receive the same damn thing. Steam release happen after Patreon ban so all of these interaction happened with Subscriberstar active. Stop with the revisionism. Steam Stats shows he at most made 8k from Steam release. So that would have offset the patreon loss.
Okay man, this is getting away from what I meant, have it your way with that.
