I understand you, but he didn't realize that what you were doing, perhaps without this being your goal, was to get us excited, at least for me to support his current work and probably his next project.
Yeah i had two goals by leaking 1.help other members get it a bit sooner that are unable to support for whatever reason
2. I've been on this forum for five years now and most of the time leaking game updates and patreon content gets more people interested and gets more people wanting to actually support the dev and a lot of people on this forum have actually gone to support devs after seeing and enjoying leaked content so that was the secondary goal. To be honest i think with this dev its just greed but oh well not my problem now.

You're right, there are also other developers who would appreciate any help you can give them, especially disseminating their content to those who don't have access to it and with the possibility of becoming patrons.

You can also see how this game loses attention for each update.
And also the dev wants to make you wait a month to play?:KEK:
Sorry, there are other games.

Bad on the developer's part, he's ruining his audience even if he doesn't believe it.

About all the "devs income" discussion: F95 probably is responsible for a few missed dollars, given that you don't need to pay the developers for their (hardware and) time spent on making the games. However, I have both saved some money and invested it into being a patron for a few games I found here.

If I was slowburngames, I would probably not want other people to leech my hard work for free either - after all, groceries and rent aren't free yet. I think both sides have a point.

The guy deliberately published a trojan today, he's making fun of the site that everyone here uses and even his patrons. And you still think you're dealing with something other than a petty sociopath with persecution syndrome and stardom. Delete this thread, and leave this guy in oblivion. We'll see if it's as self-sustaining as that.

Viper went from releasing. To day one releasing. To sharing every post, including promo images, the day they released. Everything he was doing was removing any and all incentives that someone had to support SBG outside of just wanting to support him. Which SBG has repeatedly said is a double digit percentage loss in patronage.

I'm not surprised that he got banned, I'm surprised it took SBG this long to ban him.

But the issue is that you did it on day 1. If I recall from past posts on his patreon account he asked people to stop posting his game on day 1 and wait awhile cause honestly this day and age people are not going to spend the money where they don't have to, especially when you can get the VIP treatment for free. And it is not greed, he just wanting get a little money for the product he is creating like anyone else on patreon, and he is one of the lower priced ones as it is.

I understand that however it was originally only supposed to be the one update i released day one as i was going to be offline for a while however that changed when the dev decided to start saying i will give up making games altogether if u dont stop and sending his patreon's after me as I've previously stated all he had to do was pm me and politely ask not to release on day one and i would of waited a couple weeks but he didn't anyway I'm done arguing about this and this thread is being put on my ignore list so i wont be replying anymore.

The developer as well as the patrons that it leaks day one are not really affected, when you support a developer you do it because you like their work and you want to see how it evolves and you don't mind if it leaks, I met several patron friends thanks to those leaks they wanted to know more about him and several of them came from this site, it was they who recommended me to come here and enjoy the work of developers who are not lucky enough to have a place on patreon and deserve

Excuses, excuses. Dude, you were leaking Patreon content for clout. You'd leak every post less than 5 hours after the dev posted it on Patreon. The dev already releases this game for free on this site. You weren't helping publicity. You're not Robinhood. You liked the attention you got from leaking content.

"all he had to do was pm me and politely ask" No, he didn't. You expected the dev to grovel to you for leaking his work? You're a piece of work. It's a good thing you got banned. It should've happened sooner.

I agree. At least that was the original idea behind a Patreon. The truth is that most of the games that are on this site wouldn't be worth more than 5$ on steam for completed version.

Hi Slowburngames,
the bugs I menioned from part 2 v16.0 are still in v16.1 You can find them below. Moreover it seems that I found a bug in part3 v18.1!


v16.1 bugs

1. CH13: If Amy shows the uniform to Mr. Knewitt and Mr White and the player selects "Just carry on watching" Clara will wear a bra but one picture will show her without the bra.

wrong:

$pixieGirl.upHot(1)
me "{i}(I don't believe it! A free pass to kiss Pixie?){/i}"
clara "Well, it is only a kiss and just for educational purposes."
if white13Quest==True: # no bra
scene pixie_pixie_exciting2 with dissolve
else:
scene pixie_pixie_exciting with dissolve

right:

$pixieGirl.upHot(1)
me "{i}(I don't believe it! A free pass to kiss Pixie?){/i}"
clara "Well, it is only a kiss and just for educational purposes."
if temp1==True: # no bra
scene pixie_pixie_exciting2 with dissolve
else:
scene pixie_pixie_exciting with dissolve

2. CH15: If the player dicedes to strip Joy at Gordons party she will remove here dress earlier but she will where it again when she will get a question from Sebastian.

wrong


if temp0=="joy":
scene gordon_ch15_joy11
"{i}(Joy){/i}"
sebastian "Where is your favourite place to have sex?"
scene gordon_ch15_joy12 with dissolve
else:
scene gordon_ch15_joy10
"{i}(Joy){/i}"
sebastian "Where is your favourite place to have sex?"
scene gordon_ch15_joy7 with dissolve



right


if temp0=="Joy":
scene gordon_ch15_joy11
"{i}(Joy){/i}"
sebastian "Where is your favourite place to have sex?"
scene gordon_ch15_joy12 with dissolve

else:
scene gordon_ch15_joy10
"{i}(Joy){/i}"
sebastian "Where is your favourite place to have sex?"
scene gordon_ch15_joy7 with dissolve
v18.1 bug

If you stop Clara at the evening at Joes home "I must stop Clara making a fool of herself" Francine first wears clothing. Then there are two pictures with only Clara. After the two pictures you can see Fancine and Joe again but Francine is suddenly naked"
[/QUOTE]

Thanks- you were right on all counts- I've made the corrections and a v16.2 will come out when I have a couple of hours free. For the 'Francine' issue I've just modified one of the pics to make it look like she's undressing; less of a sudden change to nude. You'll see the change in v20.

Hey slowburngames , i wish you the best for the future. I want to give you my impression of a poor guy. At 6 , i've played on amstradCPC6128+ with only pirated game, then MP3 era followed by free pirating, and divix movies followed and so on. That is my story, you can hate me or whatever i don't care. But the fact is pirating are boosting sells.
They are two way of define dev :
Good dev, Bad dev
Milker dev and Serious dev.
you are a serious dev : you work hard and everyone knows it <3
but you are a bad dev :( allways whining and crying about piracy .
My wish is : you being rich and a great dev !!!!! <3 and please unban our bro, so we can have a day one leak !! ALL hi to the poor comunity hahahahah <3

He wouldn't even be close to the earnings he's getting from Patreon right now if his previous game hadn't been posted here.
Of course, that's something I posted in this thread about the controversy in the June update. I don't understand such arrogance when your game became popular thanks to this forum and its users. Or is it that the dev thinks that his subscribers come from... Epic Games or?
Also as stated, their subscribers pay to show their support for the game they don't actually pay to play it early. Making us wait a whole month to play is boring.:sleep:

I personally don't care about waiting, I have backlog of few hundred games to play on steam or on this site and no time to play, it's the preaching that annoys me. I'm not saying this was the case with this dev but a lot of games that are actively in development used in the early versions or are still using pirated assets or software for renders or devs are using code from other projects to learn to how to structure their own projects. So it's fine for them to get free exposure and help with finding bugs here until they get enough supporters on Patreon and then they try to treat this site as an advertisement banner and are whining about the project being leaked here. Is it really a piracy if the game does not have any ToS included and is not sold anywhere?
