I have been thinking about this, if playtime is even the right metric for these types of games. I'd argue it's more about how often you come back, how many sessions you have, whether there are scenes worth revisiting. A shorter game you return to regularly beats a longer one you play once and forget.
well there are japanese indie hgame devs that manage to make their games in one full release and ask for one time payment and doesnt have patreon, so people expect and/or hope that someone that gets kickstarted from patreon matches or exceeds the work ethics/results from japanese indie hgame devs, specially i would assume that frisson gets 2000 or more after the cuts
If there are no supporters of the game, there will be no leaked link. I hope you understood the idea correctly.
He thinks he'll make a lot of money by asking for 50 dollars,
Theres always going to be supporters regardless of pirates if its a good product. No reason to get bent out of shape over something thats inevitable.
Where do you live - Pakistan?Regarding the fact that $10-20 isn't a lot of money, I'd gladly support the developer. But I can't, even with a VPN. The payment isn't going through. For me, $1 is equivalent to $100 in local currency. That's a significant amount. Add in the cost of overcoming payments and using a VPN, and it turns out that for me, the value has to be commensurate to make it worth it. Yes, the game is cool and interesting, but it's annoying to scroll through the same actions over and over again that don't have any impact. I understand that development takes time and effort, which should be compensated for, but I'm not such a masochist that I'd have to overcome a million hurdles to pay for the game and then suffer through the grind.
So I'm sitting here hoping for heroes and wizards to post the link as soon as possible
For me, a few dollars are much more valuable than even the US. That's why support for developers is not constant. Well, now the game has a lot of new variety, so you'll get to your goal faster. And the developers try to listen and solve things quite quickly. And I'm glad, for example, that sex isn't after a few scenes.Regarding the fact that $10-20 isn't a lot of money, I'd gladly support the developer. But I can't, even with a VPN.

yes he does recommend a new game as the new chained events will be missed if you use and old save
well, since apprently you don't know how currency works let me explain it to you, besides western countries, or capitalist countries, other currency has almost no values, now yes 20 dollars to 20 euro's isn't much, actually about 18-19 euro, for arab countries like kuwait, saudi, qatar, that's the same too, but for third world countries, that's a whole diffrent story, 20 dollars is almost a quarter of a person's salary, what is considered as lucn money in US, here, and other contries is a lot of money, yes the developer deserves every dollar, espesially since he's making a really good game, but if i support him with even just 3 dollars a month, that would be about a whole days work payment, especially for those who are paid minimum wage, since minimm wage is aboout a 100-110 dollars.
Mhhh, why do you assume I would not know how that works? That is why I was asking where he is from.
Have you ever heard of PPP? Daily median income across the world is less than $10 a day. In some communist countries like Cuba people earn basically nothing in income but still have access to food, shelter and education.
