Archon is a top secret government project that was not supposed to be released this early. There wasn't supposed to be any hints it existed because it has never been tested before, it was just suddenly released like a kraken. Being normal people, you should have no idea about this, but check Android's 12th event
I understood it was under wraps, but that complete jump-scare introduction just isn't my jam. I tried to provide examples to subtle introduction that I did like, but not trying to say those are better - just a different way is all.
The insults are totally unnecessary. We get it, you don't want story, you didn't pay attention to it at all, you ignored all of the foreshadowing because you wanted my game to be something it's not. Go play another one. There is no point in arguing on a forum of a game you don't like, it's a waste of your time.
Wut
The grandfather purchased Android, he didn't build her from scratch. She was a pet project to fix up. Why would you assume she was a 1-off product?
What?
Ah yes, the tried and true way to have a discussion about something: insult the creator.
Ahh so nice to hear that this was indeed foreshadowing, it was the first thing I thought about when it appeared on the screen.
This guy was skipping story? Man, the first time I played this I was enjoying the story so much I was skipping some sex scenes
Thank you
Even much earlier, during the early game freeroam events in the city, the MC comes across elements of this story.
Probably in a similar way to how some people claimed that slaves were better off as slaves before the American civil war.
The more people donate, the faster the new release of the game will come outThanks for your hard work devman, I'm looking forward to the next release
Rather the oppositeThe more people donate, the faster the new release of the game will come out
There should be research how Patreon income affects developers desire to complete game, and what's the "sweet spot". My bet would be around 1000$/month, anything extra and why would any sane person choose to lose his milking cow? Anything less and there would be not enough motivation to work on game and complete it at all.
Not quite, so long as all expenses are paid, then they're able to treat it as a full time job. Anything more is motivation to keep going.The more people donate, the faster the new release of the game will come out
I know a lot of developers become lazy as time goes on, but this isn't the case for me, as I absolutely love what I do and really enjoy the feedback I get. I've increased my work load and detail as time went on. This year has been rough for me so it's been a bit slower than average but I'm finally back to working. $1,000 a month is not enough for any developer to go full time, especially for someone in America. I would guess $2,500 per month is enough to have all expenses paid and for a developer to treat this as a full time job, which was my original goal and that has been met a long time ago. I think $1,000 a month is not enough for anyone to have a decent life in America as most monthly rent for a bare-bones apartment is $1,500 - $2,000 per month now, unless you live in a very small town. $1,000 per month is less than the federal minimum wage in America. That's not enough for groceries, car payments, gas, utility bills, insurance, and medical bills. That's why so many are having such a hard time getting by and most are in debt. So I would wager $2,500 is the minimum for any developer to treat this as a full time job.
Problem is treating developing game like full time job just makes it worse, because why whould anyone want to lose his full time job and start new risky project with probably less income? So developer inclined to stretch time to complete the game as long as possible.
That I can fully attest to it. Runey is one of the, I say, hard working devs. Although even then, this doesn't mean you get updates in constant matter at an useful time table, but not in the case of Runey. He doing 3-4 updates a year with a lot of content and thus, in is in the ranks of dev, I can and will usually say, support him if you want and can.
As you say, it depens on where you life. Eg. Switzerland is very expensive. Minimum wage, if their is one in the Canton you life, is at least 3'500 and even with that amount of money at the end of the month you don't have much. (cheap simple one room flat may be already over 600, mandatory health insurance another 300 and so on...)
If you say so...
As I stated before, in order to treat this as a full time job, a developer would first need at minimum $2,500 I would guess, for the majority of us. They wouldn't quit their job to start treating their hobby as a job first, their hobby would need to first become a job for the developer to quit their previous source of income. Stretching content doesn't mean you get more money per month, it only means less updates per month. A developer is inclined to release more content as fast as possible to get more eyes on their product.
That's a big misunderstanding of the industry as a whole. Maybe you can say most porn game developers don't work over 40 hours a week, as most can't afford to treat this as a full time job, but me for example, I worked from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep for months when I first started, so much that it started badly effecting my mental and physical health so I had to limit myself to stay healthy. Being creative work, the quality of this product heavily depends on the quality of my state of mind, so more hours spent working will never equate to more quality content. This is the same for any artist. Inspiration doesn't strike at the end of an 8 hour work shift, it strikes at random. Stocking shelves is not the same as composing music or painting a masterpiece. Sometimes I wish I could be told exactly what to do and mindlessly stock shelves because being creative is mentally stressful, especially when people expect you to work as if you are in the fast food industry. It's just not the same.
Yeah lol, one kilogram of peaches in switzerland is like $30 IIRC, but that example is on the higher end and nowhere near average.
From my experience most devs work more than 40 h, some even beside a 100% normal job (because they can't live from it). Pulling a lot of hours per weeks may for some of them work, but from the few example I have and my own experience, as well as general common understanding, working yourself to the bone, will do quite literaly do that.
I never said otherwise, but I try to talk about the few things, I actually have a clue
