This isn't his pledger-only thread. This 'pay up or shut up' sort of talk is out of place and misguided. This forum exists exactly to give freeloaders a say. If you think otherwise it is you who are the wrong place and getting this wrong, giving the wrong advice.
If only constructive comment would have any effect. Alas.
Give the guy a break. The guy got so many breaks that would put a freight train to shame.
Look, i will break it down for you. Been keeping an eye on this one since 2017. I still keep calling it My Cute Cousin you see because it was that before the patreon hammer fell in 2018 march upon incest, among other things.
Regretfully i cannot even hope to paint an accurate picture what kind of a hilarious cringe the development was for that title. Every update is like a pile of steamy mess, unplayable, breaking everything, ruining every trigger and even for the restart to work you had to do a clean install and then, only then, hope for the best. Several bugfixing patches followed each release, the first two! often for the simple reason to make the game at the very least launchableThe rest came so you could actually get through it so as to kill the game breaking bugs. Every.Single.Goddamn.Time! Later is became better. There was a moment when releases got "better", meaning less patch was required. It was never a smooth sail. For some, it was. But it was nowhere near an universal experience.
Even then.. things only worked out mostly because several of us, during these years, were kind enough to try and help those who couldn't make this shit work and explained them what to do. Not because Astaros lifted a finger to make the game playable for even his own patrons. No. Its because guys around here started fixing things for him, create tutorials and guides. Not him. Us. The freeloading scum.
Things since those days, the entirety of Girl's House and now this? Things just got worse! Well, pretty much. Graphics improved. Pro's stop right there.
You think there weren't helpful comments? Sound advices given? Helping hands offered? The guy just doesn't care to improve. Doesn't care about player experience. Me, i don't care why not. The end-result what matters for him: He gets the money. The end-result matters for me: It is an unpleasant experience if i wanna take it seriously.
So how about giving us a break too.
This is accurate. I also have been following Astaros since the first game and he always has been like this. I can not really remember a time where he ever actually delivered at a date he promised to do so.
Now you wait months for an update an he charges 20$ (if you only subscribe for the update) and 60$+ if you stay subscribed at gold tier (which is just ridiculous at this point since you will pay months without receiving anything).
For 60$ you get a pc game from a professional studio that will keep you busy for more than 10 minutes.
We are not even paying for full games here, but for small updates which makes it even worse imo. Until the game reaches a decent stats its usually around 8-10 updates and at that point you will have spent 160-200$ for it which is just ridiculous.
I won't pay for another subscription until he gets the game to a state where you actually get something for your money.
Its a shame really since his artstyle is really good, so it has a lot of potential.
