I've actually put a little dialog in place at the start of a new game a few weeks back, that asks you if you're a ctrl-jockey, and if you are, it'll offer to send you back to the main menu with an unlocked gallery, in exchange for a promise you won't try and actually play the game.
Best anti-trolling innovation ever. Epic move!
Depends on your definition of beautiful, to me it’s both.
You say you're all for opinions, so try this on for size.
Since we are talking "business", did you cook for free or concern yourself over their opinions versus paying customers?
Interesting points, but the analogy falls a bit flat when applied to this case (which you point out you're not exactly doing) because the expectations going in don't match. I'm making a painting, not a porterhouse. To stick with the imagery, if someone comes in to sit and watch the paint dry, and then complains after a few hours it's not going fast enough, that's on them.
This is an apple-to-oranges comparison. Naughty has stated very plainly that he has a full-time job, yet has spent over 1,000 hrs on this passion-project. Exactly how much more effort should he put into this creative work? Until he loses his job, or loses touch with friends and family? And for what - to keep a handful of babies from crying?
Please don't start arguing with people who just argue for the sake of arguing on this site. Most of us here are all appreciative that you even frequent this site and are so cool about everything.
A cook telling a game dev how to make a game..... you can't make this shit up. And i am a writer for a living. This is comedy gold.
I can go either way. Just don't say that in any berserk forums though lol. In berserk manga updates they get neither large volume nor quick updates. Sometimes Miura will literally go 1 and half year with zero page/chapter done. No joke. Berserk fans are very tilted. Though I like reading Berserk when/if it ever comes out, but I sometimes go 5 to 7 years and not bother looking, because I know even after 5 plus years there is at most maybe 1 possibly 2 chapters only. Literally many berserk fans have died waiting on this manga.
Yes that was what I meant. Obviously long times between updates have to result in something worthwhile. I have a distaste for one scene updates but If I had to wait a year for one of those then I would most definitely drop the game. So far naughtyroad has consistently provided good chunks of content that have very much felt worth it.
I'll let you in on a little trade secret (or not, it's not that much of a secret), but every time a dev puts out a release, their patron counts gets a hike. Like, a substantial one. More releases, more hikes, release your way straight into that sweet, sweet patron dosh paradise. I say fuck that, I can't do that and still put out something I can stand behind. Which is not to say it's a bad thing, there's devs out there on a tight update schedule that put out stuff I like a lot. It's just not something that works for me, and too bad if that means growth is much, much slower.
