this game has the best writing i have read so far 
The only problem is the time betwen updates, but the game is in my top 3 , history, renders, animations, are just amazingWhile I would like to see a JOHN update as much as anyone else, this bonus set was really hot. I'd very much like to see it in 4K. Stoper is top-tier.
I can't speak for Italy, but in the United States $2,700 before taxes is $32,400/year. That is the definition of barely getting by, and would qualify him for financial support in almost every state in the US. So while maybe BorgiaBou may have been wrong about Italy specifically, you're incorrect to act as though $2,700/year is good money everywhere.Dude in what fukin' country you livin' 2.7k (that's what is earning patreon already took the cut) is good money, stoper is in italy he can make a decent living from that money, in eastern europe you'd be rich with this kind of income the fuk i swear some of you have no ideea of the value of money...
The heck has to do this with the usa i swear you american folks are so ignorant sometimes no wonder why the rest of the world "loves" your country so much, i clearly specify that he lives in Italy that's in Europe like i said he can have a decent living not a luxury living with that money in Italy in eastern Europe where i'm from with that you'd be rich and have a good life...I can't speak for Italy, but in the United States $2,700 before taxes is $32,400/year.

Dude i have close friends who are working in Italy for 1800-2000€ and they get by just fine, they even manage to send back home to their loved ones some money monthly...Stoper currently earns €2381 per month from his Patreon, and considering he started with €0, the average over 3 years is probably in the low €1000's. And like I said, this is a very unstable way to make a living, unless your name is DrPinkCake for example. The average salary in Italy is at around €2000, so right now he's slighty above average. You're also kinda missing the point here. It's not about the value of money.
If you're okay with living in a 1-room apartment without the possibility to buy nice things for yourself or your loved ones, that's totally fine, but there are people out there who have higher goals in life. And I'm not talking about poor countries where you don't have much of a choice or many chances for a better life considering the environments you might be stuck in.
1800-2000€ and they get by just fine
Do you see what I'm trying to say here? If you just want to "get by", that's fine.there are people out there who have higher goals in life
And why are you saying that? Stoper seems to be satisfied to "get by" with what he has nowDo you see what I'm trying to say here? If you just want to "get by", that's fine.
Did you even read the previous posts? I'm not talking about Stoper, but about what BorgiaBou had to say about money. If Stoper or anyone is fine with just getting by, that's fine with me.And why are you saying that? Stoper seems to be satisfied to "get by" with what he has now
As a person who lived in Italy for a few months, and currently living in the US, I would say that 2300 euro in Italy in is like 5000 dollars in USA. Why? Because of the fucking rent. I pay 2500 for a slightly larger studio rn. In Italy this would cost me 650 to 700. And the doctors dont cost a fortune.I can't speak for Italy, but in the United States $2,700 before taxes is $32,400/year.

Edit- To keep this on topic though, I would just reiterate that I think Stoper is leaving a lot of money on the table because of his development cycles. Clearly this is a passion project for him, and that's cool; but objectively I think there are thousands of dollars out there that he could earn if he was able to buckle down and put out consistent releases. Not everyone is driven by money, and Stoper is clearly not a greedy person, I'm just stating what I think is a fact- he could be financially much more successful with this project than he currently is.
TommyWhat do you think is expected in the next update?
considering that the last update ended on Saturday before lunch, I expect some little clues for lunch (phone calls or similar to introduce new events) then:What do you think is expected in the next update?
I guess you are right with the incoming events.considering that the last update ended on Saturday before lunch, I expect some little clues for lunch (phone calls or similar to introduce new events) then:
Saturday night Blake event
Sunday morning Rosa event
Sunday evening Heather event
Sorry for my English being bad, and I would like to end this discussion of tipc with this clarification:You can literally look up statistics about the average salary in every country. You probably forget to take into account higher paid jobs like those of Lawyers, Doctors, Business Managers, among others. Average salary doesn't mean average job in this context.
Oh, and like nobodyknowsthyself said, y'all seem to forget about the existance of taxes and such. I myself wasn't thinking about taxes either, so I have to correct myself. According to google statistics, Stoper's current income is below the average in Italy. The numbers you see on his Patreon page are not his net-income. Anyway, this whole thread derailed into a really stupid discussion, as always. My initial post had nothing to do with any of this, but BorgiaBou felt the need to start an argument over income.
Don't call people ignorant if you have no clue what taxes, social security and self employment are. 2350 dollar is nowhere near enough to run your own business, unless you live in some former communist country.The heck has to do this with the usa i swear you american folks are so ignorant sometimes no wonder why the rest of the world "loves" your country so much, i clearly specify that he lives in Italy that's in Europe like i said he can have a decent living not a luxury living with that money in Italy in eastern Europe where i'm from with that you'd be rich and have a good life...
