Ahuh, all of that also happens just by the ($6 patreon's like me) testers 'testing' the game and telling Beggar about the bugs.
This also comes with the added benefit of the game not being widely known as a bug fiesta, since many people ignore the fact that this version here is a test version and think it's always going to be like this...
But w/e man, shits not going to change. *shrug*
(Firebane doesn't do a modded version until the final 'extra' version comes out, so 'test version access' isn't needed)
There are a number of sites like this one that test the "Test version" and feed back bugs through Patreons to the developer. More testers, more bugs found and quashed, so you don't have to rely on just your Patreons. There are those of us who can not afford or who do not like the Patreon model but who want to support the developer anyway, and testing is a good barter.
There will always be annoyances who whine about bugs during development and test versions despite not being Patreons and getting the game without doing anything to support the developer. Almost all of the time, you call them out and they go away or go back to lurking. Giving them a false excuse for their bad behavior, like "test versions are bad and will give a bad impression of the game", encourages that behavior.
Test versions, and even development releases, being riddled with bugs is nothing new or unusual. MNL sits about average in bug count for development releases despite having a largely splayed set of story lines with an exponentially increasing state complexity that would normally introduce a much larger number of state bugs. This game, currently, has a fairly good stability reputation compared to others.
@Firebane 's modded version does not magically spring full-born from a final release version. He meticulously gathers bugs and helpful suggestions that he finds and are reported here from the test version, crafts fixes, discards those that appear in the final release version, and (if he has the time or motivation) deals with any added to the final release version. He's always calling for lists of bugs during the test release. Removing it from this site would probably delay a modded version until the next final version release, if he decided to keep doing it at all.
And... no 15 year old preppy teenage girl attitude of shrugging her "whatever" shoulders ever even started to change the shit that the rest of us deal with every day. We're doing just fine here with a pretty consistently strong support community.
