For good reason it dictates standards and how the market works. Stuff like this game, Star Citizen, Yandere Simulator, Cloud Meadow are perfect examples of why Patreon doesn't work and that Publishers are essential to proper game development.
It's impossible for the update to be ready in a week. If for some reason 90% of my patrons would disappear in a day, I think every developer would push an update. Not because they've been lazy/not working on the update, but because of desperation.
Oh yeah... because publishers in the west LOVE adult games and the genre was booming before patreon...
So until now you have not worked on the game or what? You had 2 years. Who says you're not just lying in your patreon posts?It's impossible for the update to be ready in a week. If for some reason 90% of my patrons would disappear in a day, I think every developer would push an update. Not because they've been lazy/not working on the update, but because of desperation.
My patrons are trusting in my words when I say I want Chapter 1 to have an impact on old/new players, just like the prologue did, and that I'm taking my time to do it, and the only reason Chapter 1 is not out it's because the story is not done, period, not because I'm overextending stuff.
My patrons know exactly what I'm doing, I told them in my patron posts, I would suggest you check on it.
Abusing my patrons would be lying about an ETA or telling them to keep paying to receive x thing.
Also, this is how having a fan feels?
You mean the publishers who will talk about "Bioware magic", i. e. programmers getting pushed until they commit suicide? Or do you mean the publishers who will put out a release in time as buggy mess with floating characters, game breaking bugs, and maybe will put out patches a year later?
First: it is still not two years.
No its not, you have a project with clear goals in mind. If devs make big promises that they cannot fulfill or not properly fulfill too bad for them, you know they can go to the publisher and just give him a unfinished product. Its their name being tarnished not the publishers name. Also its not like crowdfunded games are that much less buggy.
No, I haven't started... What makes you think that? My thousands of sneak peeks or my Patreon posts? My Twitter posts?
Ignore him, this guy thinks my update will have 10 events and a couple of sex scenes.
Because making empty promises or quickly throwing together sneak peeks is so difficult? Don't get me wrong I'm not a hater and you're not the only one that does this, so don't worry you're not alone. Don't know why I picked out this thread to talk about this topic, had no particular reason for it but I could have done the same in the Cloud Meadow thread or the Kingdom of Deception thread its the exact same going on there.
It is only brag if it is without base.
Just ignore TrollBoy
. One spoiled pouty idiot doesn't speak for the majority of your "customers". He feels like you owe him something when you don't. Part of the reason I don't make a game (lack of talent and focus being the primary reasons) is that I'd spend too much time banning idiots from the game thread.
I will take an extra year or two of development to make the fishing even more interesting, thanks for your feedback!
