While there's certainly some honest developers out there, indie crowdfunding has largely just become the 'Nigerian Prince' email scam for a younger age group. As others have said these people are just putting up a interesting project, do the absolute bare minimum to fool people into thinking you're still working on it, and then milk the suckers as long as you can. And the crowdfunding sites themselves are essentially in on it, because it's in their best interests to let it go without repercussions because they get their cut. Hell it's not even small time indie devs pulling this, Star Citizen has fleeced millions of dollars over ten years at this point to make little more than a pretty tech demo.

People might laugh at my reference, but it's same goddamn scam. Give us money and we'll finish this project, honest. Oh, I was sick this month please give me more money. Oops, it was too hard and I couldn't finish anything I promised last month; but here's one new room and NPC so please keep giving me money.

While I'm sure that there a few "devs" whose alleged projects are scams through and through - that is, the project was never intended to be finished; a promising start is used to secure backers who are then fleeced for as long as possible - there's no way it's the majority or even a significant minority.

Creating enough of the rudiments of a game to inspire people to throw cash at you takes some degree of talent and passion with no guarantee that anyone will support it. As scams go, it's a terrible model. What you want from a scam is minimal start-up effort, with work only being put in once you get a bite.

To take this game as an example, Inno's put in way too much work for this to be a premeditated scam.

As much as i love making fun at LT's current situation i still do agree that this game had never been intended to be a scam when it was first conceived.. i believe this is just honest pure entangled mess from someone who genuinely never had any professional experience in an actual working adults environment

"Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence", or, to personalize, "Never assume devs can code"

I don't know which one is more impressive, that you're here trying to get a hard on playing white knight after all the others who had lost their luster in the forums or that this thread sees more plot development than the game itself. Don't forget that none of us would still be here if we thought Lilith's Throne was a lost cause, but goddamn does it tread the fine line

I think it is a lost cause. I am here to watch the discussion.

I want to wait for this game to blossom in a year to 4 years, hopefully that's not too optimistic, from now, but I'm afraid I'll have moved on in life and will forget all about it by then. What a shame.

Update time... I bet its funny.

Inno said:
Hello again,

First of all, I'm so sorry again for the length of time between this post and my previous one. I've been continuing to have a bit of a rough time recently, and so progress was slow, leading to me not having much to say in a progress post and therefore putting off making one.

Anyway, I'm making this post now as I've finally got back into the swing of things. I've got all of the writing for the new tavern content finished, and I'm moving on to getting bugs fixed and other minor things added for v0.4.4's release. At the moment I'm hoping to have it released to you at some point over this weekend, but please be prepared for it to possibly take a little longer than that.

Thank you all again so much for your patience, and I'll see you in the next post, which will be the release post of v0.4.4!
So basically, Inno took a month off. And now we're "back in the swing of things" just like we were last month.

So nothing was done. And we have more of a wait before anything gets done.

So someone messaged her on Steam, interrupted her 40k session and told her the Discord was restless.
Glad she could pause it for the 2 minutes to remind everyone she exists and owns their mods.

The people who have spoken on p.619 are right about the diabolical mind and it absorbs people, the discussion between the creators and their privacy (to put it easy).

these conversations are touchable if this person is like that... it's how people want to win perfectly and if they lose they blame you and whimper, or be second and he first.

well ... as I said ... if he has uploaded his work, it's fine and if not, here he stays with his romantic news. (if given, let's continue and if not... we stop at simple)

just for not getting into these deep things...

okay but real talk about something new, who the hell makes a "Super Guide" .txt document that's 6.5k words long and then doesn't include an index

a god damn animal, that's who
People really like to write, but when it comes to make things orderly everything comes out as a bloody fucking mess.
