I update the game every 15 days and you want 10 animations per version? I’m honestly surprised by how some people think making a game is that easy. What’s worse is that they talk without ever having made a game themselves.

If game development could be sped up just by throwing money at it, anyone with a lot of money would make a game in a single day. Your comment is absurd. I assume you only care about money, and that’s why you measure everything by that standard. I only care about making a good game at my own pace, and that doesn’t just involve programming and animations. Creating a game involves many more tasks that I work on almost every day of the year. I spend time constantly improving processes, replying to people, setting up polls, looking for sponsors, developing dialogue and stories, fixing bugs or issues, creating translations, among many other tasks you probably don’t even imagine. My game is played by millions of players around the world, on multiple platforms, and that’s why I earn what I earn. If you think it’s not proportional to all my work, I challenge you to do it yourself and surpass me.

Please, my friend, your game isn't from Honey Select or DaZ; your game is AI-generated graphics. Don't come here saying this is difficult. I'd believe you if you made your game yourself, but this is just AI. Stop fooling yourself.

At no point did I compare myself or my work to games like Honey Select or DaZ. Games at that level are usually made by teams of several people, organized in a completely different way, and with many more years of development behind them. I work alone, and Lusty Buccaneers is a relatively new game. Even so, I release new content every fifteen days, which very few developers do, even those using AI.
And once again, you assume that making a game—or even creating images or animations with AI—is easy, when you’ve never done it yourself. Most importantly, making a game is much more than just that.

If you truly believe it’s that easy and that I’m earning too much, then feel free to stop what you’re doing and make your own game. I don’t think it’s necessary to continue this discussion. Best regards.

And because there are many AI games on this site that offer updates with many more animations, and you only offer one crappy animation per update despite earning more than most developers here, I'm not saying that the money you earn should be used to make your games, but you should offer better content for the people who are paying. Making games with AI is the easiest way to make games these days since the computer generates them for you; there's no design that you've worked on yourself. You just can't admit that you're milking the game and your followers.

I'm didn't want to take sides in this dispute but i believe you are being a bit unreasonable yea i also wish the content could be increased a bit more i agree but i don't complain here because of the consistency and small update window. there is no other game (ai or not) here that push update every 15 days or so. yea making ai games are relatable easy but still there are a lot of other things to do other than rendering. And Finally as the dev also said you are more than welcome to make a better game if u think this is not gud enough for you!
