. Sad news but I can understand, with support declining. release schedule is way too long for a avn . Almost 5 years in development with no active promotion ,it's hard to keep the intrest up I guess.
Damm ,so LOML getting cut short
You've been on this site for over 5 years... and now you're just realizing that nuance gets lost in these threads?
LOL yeah, as I was wrote that just now I must admit something along those lines did cross my mind.You've been on this site for over 5 years... and now you're just realizing that nuance gets lost in these threads?
A little while back I did a little calculation and figured out that Light off my Life nets a little under (local) minimum wage on an hourly base, and support has steadily declined since.I feel like I've started a negative wave X)
I was talking about steam. I think the dev would have become a millionaire if Steam had published his game.
Then also because I thought, since I hadn't followed the funding story, that the dev had already made good progress on the update
Is it indiscreet to ask how much the dev would want per month to continue developing the game with 2 story + epilogue?
It's none of my business, but I know for a fact that with taxes and fees, the $1 tier no longer makes any profit. If you consider the 8-12% share of Patreon plus taxes, the $1 tier almost costs money. (If the developer is in Europe, there's a new law that forces developers to declare Patreon income on taxes, in fact, it is patreon who is obliged to declare dev income to the state, so it can no longer be hidden. So it's between 24% and 60% of revenue in the European country I know of.)
I don't know if he has many patrons at $1, but he should explain the situation to them and propose moving to $2 or $3 for the first tier (actually, with inflation, the first tier should be $5 to be profitable, but inflation also affects the patrons :'( )
And if some $1 patrons refuse, maybe still create a $3 tier for those who are okay with it?
If that means 2 stories + an epilogue, I would happily pay $3.
GOG curates what comes on their platform up front (unlike steam, where anyone can basically create a page in the store), and I've sent a submission but got no response, which I'm led to believe means they declined.
Well I did my part and subbed, I wouldn't want this game (or a few others on this site) to end prematurely or be abandoned. I wishlisted this on Steam before that went bitter. The girls don't have a mainstream look so to say, but the writing is superb and the whole game is quite unique in many regards.
Huh, didn’t think of that, but fairly obvious once you mention it. I’m one of those people who support a bunch of devs at a very low level (used to be 20+ devs at one point but abones and completions have brought it down to 13), but it would probably make more sense to support more actively, like a month or two in a year with a bigger sum. The problem then would be 1) missing out on the regular communication with the devs and 2) keeping track of whose turn it is …
That's honestly probably one of the bigger reasons. The last three releases have seen the development time for each grow significantly, to the point for chapter 7 it was exceptionally long (more than 18 months). I would imagine it's hard to maintain momentum and fan base enthusiasm under those conditions.
I get what you mean, but I dont think support will magically increase over the next period of time. I mean as you said before support tends to increase the most when there is an update. Just looking at the progress image on discord tells me about a quarter of the update has been finished over five months of time.
