Now Dev is focusing on remastering entire game with HQ graphics and adding AI translator for every language instead of creating new contents. You can approximately add 2 3 months for this too. so I put 6 7 months after the last update. If it will make you feel better you can consider it February or late January.
I did the same calculation... I always do it myself...
Useless to detail your calculation : I do not question the calculation for your "march 2024"
I just say such calculation is NEITHER reality NOR reliable enough when replying to
people asking for news and facts because there is no reason next update can use the same time as previous ones...
It is speculation only : do you deny that ?
Yes, work on V0.09 has not yet started : Then, do you think you are reliable when telling
which month next year the work on it
can be finished ? I would not be surprised the dev himself does not know but YOU think "march 2024" is reliable enough?
When telling "march 2024" only, it can be seen as news reliable enough and people may think it as solid news,
which it is not.
That's why I said it would have been better to add it is speculation only...
[...] he is now "abandoning" the creating of new contents for a while (or making it minimum as possible) to pursue other side non relevant things. and this is done purposely. This type of behaviour is known as milking and doing nothing. You can see lots of examples of this in games, not just in adult games. Adding new weapon / character skins without actually improving anything or add anything new.
The dev chooses the direction of his game and the features to put in : no one else.
The subscribers are then free to continue to give money or stop it.
Milking means deceiving : in other words give the hope to have something (for example : new content) while doing something else (for example : remastering)...
Milking is scam...If you think that, can you prove it ?
I read all Patreon posts from the dev and I follow his Discord channel, according to me, this dev never did that (deceiving).
When he decided to start the remastering, he posted his schedule on Patreon, no subscriber can argue he was fooled or blame the dev he did not know...
For this remastering/translation, subscribers are split in groups that had a reaction out of three on Patreon:
- Be happy with that. Ok...
- Disagree but not to the point to unsubscribe. * raise hand *... I belong to this group : 2 to 4 months to wait until starting the work on new chapter is not big deal for me.
- Disagree to the point to leave. They are free to come back later or not when the dev will be be back on working on new content
By definition,
we are ALL adults free to take our own decisions here : it is porn content after all.
When a game is not entertaining me enough or if I lose faith in a dev, I leave. Period.
Complain here that the dev is milking his subscribers, when he always tells honestly what he is doing, is just pouting and whining like an immature teen because you don't have what YOU want. That's why I speak this harsh.
Therefore, your example (adding skins and so on like in MMO games) is not relevant for our situation here.
Teens (I mean people between 10 - 16 years old) MUST be protected to prevent them becoming addict because
they do not have the necessary emotional distance when they play such games as you refer to.
It is NOT the fault of devs if
some adults do not have this distance and especially
this one who always honestly told on what he will work.
It's no brainer. This game is developing so slow that even AWAM can be considered quicker. 4 months for an update is a usual developing time for IoM normally.
[...]
Dev is slow as fuck [...]
Do you mean the dev is TOO slow ?
I checked on Patreon, AWAM is released every 4 months. What else ?
Have you ever considered there may be a good reason for those games to be "so slow" to be made ?
I do not know devs daily schedule... That's why I prefer give devs the benefit of the doubt...
In case you consider the dev to be too slow, if YOU can do better or YOU have a mean to make the game faster
while respecting game content (dev is game leader), feel free to share them, I am curious...
if not, better to say nothing about this matter : in that case, it is easy and pathetic to say to others that are actually doing something they work badly... Making a video game is a hard challenge, don't you know that ?? (I remember you said you are a game dev...)
Most devs here are working on such games on their free time : What else do you do
in your free time besides playing their games quietly ?
But if you consider remastering the game graphics as an update, yes maybe you can play v.0.0.9 that doesn't have any new content besides graphics at a much sooner.
What ? Nope... I also do not see remastering the game graphics as an update... Strange idea to see that as an "update"... It is a just a patch for me...
