Have you looked a few posts up? "
(does this look like a sweating emoji?) (I hate that I didn't get a TopHat but a green paper crown instead)

(does this look like a sweating emoji?) (I hate that I didn't get a TopHat but a green paper crown instead)No matter whether he was almost drafted or not its still a bs move for him to firstly just take ages for any updates, and secondly lock these updates behind a very agressive paywall subscription when hes earing at least 2k$ a month. Like im not saying he should get paid bc its bloody good job hes done but the paywall is just pure bs that doesnt go well for anybody ever

Gotta earn bread somehow.
And even without being drafted Russia sucks.
Hell they might not even really get the money from pledges if this whole situation messes up economy systems.
I heard on another users patreon account that they had to change to another paywall site to reliably earn pledges again.
(forgot who it was, goldfish brain here)
In any case tho we wont know how much they are actually earning without prove and how long they are taking for what part and how much time they take up from their day for developing.
Also unless you are into Futa content I don't suppose you are missing out on anything anyway.

whether im missing something or not isnt the point. its about locking content behind a subscription based paywall. thats the shittiest practice in the gamedev industry
but they aren't? its free my guy they upload the builds on their discord. i don't know how you thought it was subscription based
its rng sadlyI mean .... Didn't we go over that already?

No theyre fucking not XD. You gotta pay for patron and use it ingame to unlock content, thats what i mean by paywall subscription.

Besides, Discords for patreon games are most if not always unlocked through donation/s/donating and if not it's roles you unlock for the server through donation/s/donating.
not really you can find the demo builds there for free in their anouncements

I never really check that since I don't usually interact on games socials and I am too poor to support anyone anymore.
But then that means there really is not paywall at all and in this case the patreon works more of like a tip jar than anything.

Which also means that for this scenario there is nothing to complain about.
Bruh tou cant be real. Hes talking about the DEMO, the first version of this game, the one you can download from itch.io there never was another version available for free. And im talking about the fact that yes you can buy the game from itch, its the same version as it is in patreon but quess what, it has cut content that you need to subscribe for.

So you are saying the the demo and the "paid" version are different because something got cut from it?
Now I wanna know what was cut, I love cutting room floor stuff :3

No the game you BUY from itch, not the demo but the paid version has cut content in comparison to the patreon version, and as patreon is a subscription its cancer paywall. You dont get everything that you paid for by buying the game from itch. This time the difference is just futa content but who knows whats next. Its just a bad practice overall.

But if the game is free on Discord and access to it is public then there is no paywall and no cut content either.
So why not go there instead of whining about itch.io practices?
(sorry if it seems obvious, I'm not in the correct mental state to be smart rn)

Bruh. The free game youre talking about is the demo. The demo doesnt have anything beyond what was seen 8 months ago. And im talking about the game you buy with real money. The difference is this:
Demo-version from 8 months ago, free, never to be updated
Itch bought version- not free, has latest update but doesnt have all available content aka no futa in this case
Patreon- its a subscription that you have to pay for every month, has latest update, has all the content
So in short you either pay every month for patreon to have all the content. You buy the game and get pretty much nothing new. Or you play a demo which is... A demo, theres nothing new there.
So does it make sense now? Why i call it a subscription based paywall just to get any new content after almost a year of waiting?

And its not the itch that forces it to be like this, its the dev that decided to do it that way just to grab even deeper into everyones packets
