Noice, appreciate you, both your work on the VN, but also for actually giving a f-ck and responding to my not-so important comment
The whole shorter but more often updates is a can of worm I probably shouldn't open. BUT, here's my 2 cents for what it's worth. We (the players) have our wishes and preferences. Some of us prefers one silly big update once a year. Some of us(read: ME) prefer way shorter updates that comes out, if not monthly, then every 2-3 months. IMO every one wins. If it's doable for the person making the VN aside though. People wanting just one big update every year? Well they can then *choose* completely by their own free will, to skip the next 3-4 updates, and tadaa, they'll have a massive update once per year(even if it's technically 3+ updates they're catching up on). Meanwhile, an update once every 12+ months, is - and again I must stress, this is MY opinion only - just damaging for *my* interest in the long run. Simply because I keep forgetting what the hell happened or what the story is even about lol. I wont mention other games for many reasons here, but there's a couple of really 'big hitters' that has maybe an update once every year if even that - I have honestly stopped playing them. One of them I've skipped the last 2 updates, I just can't be bothered sinking so much time into a 'story' I barely remember (game in this case is..well, let's just call it BaD - and if you know you know) I just lose interest as I said. Plus I'm personally more willing to support a project where I can actually get 'gameplay' *several* times per year. Preferably monthly but not all stories are built in a way I guess where you can just find a sweet spot to 'cut off' the update.
Again, all this is probably meaningless rambling from me. But wanted tho throw my 2 cents at ya. In the end, do what feels best and right for *you*, and even if 'money' is a factor, what current or potential supporters might say, should always come second to what you can, will, and are able to do.
I will 100% support the idea of more than 'once a year update'. It would truly help keep the interest for MtC up. And less risk of the classic "is it abandoned? oh noes, another one bites the dust..blahblah".
For me, I rather have lets say 100 renders update each month, than a million every 12 months. Yes exaggaration to get my point across only. But again, that's just me and my preferences. I know that every single (which is not many tbh) projects I've supported, have *all* been releasing updates either every month or every 2. Once they started drifting towards 3-4 months, I pulled out.
I dunno, it's partly because as I said, easier to remember and get into the 'flow' of the story etc if you dont have to wait forever for the next 'chapter'. And partly because if I'm 'throwing' money at something to support, I like to actually have something to show for it, more than once a year.
Maybe I make zero sense here, so I'll shut up lol.
For what it's worth, and as I already mentioned, really like MtC, and I wish it would pop out an update soon - not saying that as something negative or 'rushing' you - just that..well you know how it is when you wait for something. Gimme gimme! lol
Well, I've done my deed for the day, managed to put people to sleep with this wall of text. I'll see myself out
