The problem, I think, is that the longer the dev waits to release, the higher the chance of receiving an overproduced game and an "outdated" feel. Unless dev has the golden touch and will release another undeniable banger, theres a chance that when you play the game you'll feel like you're game that was made in 2020 instead of one that is made in 2022.
People are indeed free to just "pay and wait" like you said, but they are also free to express their concerns/criticism for this situation. Echo chambers are never healthy.
I don't really understand what you mean here. Except for high end AAA products, games don't age this fast, and given we have a Koikatsu based game here, it already is outdated from the beginning. I might be biased though since I don't mind a lower technical standard if the game is good. Still playing Master of Magic every once in a while ...
This is of course correct, but I have two caveats: one is the tone in which you come here - often into a discussion you have not been part of previously. Many criticisms are quite aggressive to begin with, others have an "I knew it all along" slant which also is more arrogant than helpful. The other caveat is that the same criticism over and over again does not contribute to a discussion because that was already had. Of course the latter is always a problem in the webs.
Ay all good bruv we're all human, and your opinion is just as valid as anyone else's. Don't gotta type like a politician to be accepted on a forum.
I used "politician speak" as an off-hand to "layers of bs in fear of offending anyone" rather than politeness. Obviously people should be respectful (golden rule and all that), but sometimes opinions are best expressed frankly, especially since Kartoosh's is formed around sound basis.
I would strongly advise against it. Depending on the usage, rearranging priorities and/or setting up a schedule where you only do it 7pm-7:30pm or similar could work. Completely just focusing on work however will drive a person crazy. You can do it for a limited time if in need, I did it myself for quite some time while studying for my final exams back in another century, even drove a couple hundred kilometers to my grandparents where nobody knew me to be as distraction free as possible - but you still need relaxation, you still need recreation, you still need a social life - 6 months is far too long to "cut off".
I work on the game when I can, but when I have free time, I check social media and do whatever I want.
A "full time job" is 8 hours per day. Self employed often additionally have a couple of hours but there are still some left. Also people have families and so on. Maybe "when I can" isn't the correct phrasing, but devs need free time, too.
Yes, when I can... 1 or 2 hours per day.
I feel like a lot of patreons need to know the difference, too. Maybe not so many in this thread, but elsewhere.
First, I don't think you're ready yet for receiving answers. You need to play HHG at least 19 TIMES.
