The point is he's been active and completed things he's started, I didn't go into quality of game play, depth of his coding (yeah I know he started with RPGM) or story or any of that because that wasn't the point. 90% of these games don't have any special mechanics especially the minigame stuff when it does come up is usually more an annoyance than enhancing the game.Not passing judgement in any capacity or another, but you have to look at more than just "Person did x". He could've made 100 games that had 0 mechanics, or just engine baked in mechanics, and it could still be well below the bar of someone that uses actual custom coding and has less games.
And really I just kind of wanted to shit on Slonique again.
How many have completed as many as he have though or been actively working on them in that time? It wasn't that there aren't any it's that there's not a whole lot who have been around since 2014/2015 doing this and still doing it with several completed projects under their belts, I mean creators like BBBen have been around for like 15 years, maybe more since the days when AIF was still more of a thing. There are definitely better games with better writing (which to be fair isn't that hard since these games are more romps than actual story driven content) and even with better models (though I still think in this area ICSTOR is on the upper end) and everything but he it's not like the audience ICSTOR has came out of no where or entirely from this game, those games were the building blocks of why he has over 7,000 patrons.There are quite a lot of developers with completed games around here.
ps:
Genuine question. Did he stopped his patreon during that time? I seem to remember people mentioning otherwise around here.
The issue is and always been the incessant whining about the issues he's had and the lack of updates because of it.
