Others Abandoned Happy Heart Panic [Build 22 SS] [Doggie Bones]

[Curon]

This is gonna become the next Cloud Meadows where they push out random BS and make people pay for it, some people probably subbed and forgot thus they can keep grabbing the cash

-Donates to h-game dev
-Dev abuses donations and stops developing.

Do people never learn?

There's H-game devs that does need the money, it just requires people to keep looking for patterns of a "lazy" dev and they have to be conscious in spending for these things to unsub

Let's be clear here: Nobody actually want to see this game fail. We all want DoggieBones to actually deliver the meal on time, or at least edible. The last time I had to say this was about a 100 pages or so ago, but I'm sure those discord mod simps are too dense to understand that.

I beg to differ. Cynical Morbid as it may be, I think the best thing for this game, the developer, and most of all us players, is for the game to suffer a quick yet miserable death. This shilly-shallying bullshit that DoggieBones is pulling serves no purpose whatsoever. If the game died however, that would at least put a right chokehold on DoggieBones's funding and maybe also serve as a clear warning to that dozy git that he should not procrastinate this damn much.

As I said, it's a cynical morbid point of view, but sometimes a game or game series simply needs to die for there to be any reasonable improvement in the future.

Did he announced giving up on the game?

Did he announced giving up on the game?

Last game update was last year in October, both on patreon and actually published.
Dude hasn't said anything about it publicly/outside of his discord.
The only thing that was said, was:
"Trying to get the next build wrapped up around the end of March; been looking into Godot+Blender"
It's not the end of March, it's not April either, it's May.
Him "looking into Godot+Blender" suggests either yet another rework, abandoning overall, or just simply doing something else.

Honestly, your paragraph is far too optimistic, as you underestimated Doggiebones' determination to keep this game alive, underestimated the patrons' determination to keep printing money at his lap and overestimating the death row of the game itself.

The more cynical point of view, that even you would have to admit Mal, is that Doggiebones will always have thousands of dollars sucking dry from his discord, throwing just enough eyecandy to make them believe. Hope all you can, it will not change the minds of many of those too sunken in the cost or are simply too money-dumb to stop subscribing. For every dozen or so who've given up every month, hundreds are ready to throw their wallet at him.

I think my 2nd paragraph from my post you've replied is far more likely. A past-his-prime dev too complacent to reform his working routine and too rigid to pivot from this franchise, let alone game.

Guys, guys. The story ends for us without any significant updates for the game. It sucks on principle that a bad dev gets rewarded for being bad. But we did our part, pointed it out, and the best thing now is to let it go and find something else.

Laughing my ass off at the terms "shilly shallying" and "dozy git"...

No offense, friend, but I kind of hate you for being so damn right...

...In all seriousness though, I suppose I was being more morbid than cynical. Strange, isn't it, how a sense of morbidity can be the optimistic point of view in something as fucked up as this game and its shitty developer and senseless funders, huh?
