Unity !Ω Factorial Omega: My Dystopian Robot Girlfriend [v0.90.12] [Incontinent Cell]

[isntmal]

The dude is pulling in 18k a month (pre-cut) on patreon alone, not counting subscribestar and pay-per-update itch.
*One* update being leaked a couple weeks early isn't gonna put him on foodstamps, people. Chill out all around.

"The dude" has a team of developers to pay.

Holy shit thanks!!! Merry Christmas guys omg unreal

I don’t know how to feel about this one. I really like the game, and I would pay for the early access if I wasn’t in crippling debt from school. But I also won’t download it until the dev’s grace period concludes. The least I can do is honor their wishes.

P.S. I don’t care what others do. I just wanted to share my opinion.

 

[CrazySky8]

Well rather than January you got the update earlier! Don't know why but still you get it earlier!

Thumb in mouth changelog aaaaaah

The very fact that you have to pay to play earlier is the problem. I would understand if it was a one time thing, but not with every update.

I think that the fact there is a pay to play early method is a good way to keep monitoring the interest in the game, while also allowing the developers to afford to eat and pay some bills while spending time on development. We do not, in point of fact, live in a vacuum where there are no responsibilities and financial obligations. The options are to either work while juggling work and development time, which results in extremely limited time to spare on development (which oft results in stalls and/or abandoned games), or rely on some stratagems like pay to play early, which (in the case of successful game development) allows a more even stride in development, at the cost of greater stress to meet deadlines and expectations. It is a bit of a spectrum of juggling what they do, and what is demanded of them IRL, and by fans and critics. I happen to have a lot of respect for artists and developers, especially those whom tolerate sites like here, and even participate in the discussions.

So far, the update's a banger. However, my main gripe is that I can't use the mouse for the cooking minigame.
Only left click works for pressing Z. You still need to press X for the other thing. If right click could be used for this as well, it'd be much 'preciated.

Suggestion : Body part sponsorships (an updated focused on tatoos, markings etc and we could have new textures (less muscle, more muscle more robotic etc there are already some mods that do that) and having some sponso be branded body parts (Like having to stream with an arm with the logo and name of the brand on it etc) I feel like it would fit the dystopian setting perfectly xD (originally I made a suggestion for more muscle textures on the discord but extending it to simply more textures and adding the idea of body part sponsorship makes me feel like it could be interesting concept)

Frankly, offering early access to updates is the least a developer can do while requesting money, anything less is just a tipjar.
It's baffling to see people who seem upset at a concept of someone wanting to make any money from what they do, and there's especially a lot of people who cannot differentiate between buying a product and supporting development.
Crowdfunding of various sorts is also the only way a project can be taken from 0 to completion without either a publisher or sufficient personal funds. One-time sales don't do it early on at the volumes a game like this would get.

This is the dumbest thing I've heard all day and I say that after spending a whole day with your mother.
Games on steam earn 10 times what I get on Patreon and if my game was on Steam I'd be currently on a yacht on bermudas with my team. Steam doesn't show the revenue and because people can't see it they cannot be enraged about it. People like you are the reason why so many big developers hide their revenue on Patreon.
Let me pick a random nsfw recently released game on steam. Let's go with Aurelia. They released just 5 days ago and have 290 reviews.

Plugging in the price and review count into the calculator we get 30k. I've talked to many devs who are on steam and according to them this calculator underestimates for nsfw games(Less people leave reviews) by a factor of 5-10. Let's take the lower number.
That's still 150k$ in 5 days.
If you think we seriously failed to get on steam purposely to get money on Patreon after seeing this you are a delusional idiot.


On a serious note, I dislike the subscription model too. It is inherently predatory on the fact that people forget about subscriptions. Unfortunately currently this is what we have to go with to pay the bills. We already have plans for future games and those will be focused on getting on steam. Patreon only seems so good, because you have no comparison and no knowledge about how any of this works.




It's okay. You can play it early. Just don't come to our discord and ask for help about the game you pirated or I will crush your balls.

You know what im not downloading this time. I hope you and your team rech your goals. But please dude 17,99 $ isnt it too much for everyone just think about it. As a software engineer I understand you can't name a price on your project but isnt it too pricey please be honest.

I know its not fair to compare you and your team with a gigantic game company devs but think as gamer this time. Luv you and your job.

It's also dumb as if you did somehow intentionally get the game blacklisted on steam, like obviously you have that kind of pull with valve and what they put on their store.

I wasn't talking about my game's price. Those are the numbers for Aurelia.

Oi, pinprick, let us finger her and grab her boobies outside of sex pliz. I want some way to get her ultra horny without having to start the whole sequence only to immediately end it.

Gog is nothing compared to steam. Gog's revenue is in millions of dollars. Steam's in billions. There are games on steam that earn more than whole gog.

i tryed to play on mac and fallow the instroctions but it no work maybe its me but ill just wait till i got pc or something rats

 

[Kardes]

So, I don't really post much on this site so I will just say this.

This is my first experience with this game. I downloaded it from the OP to check it out. Seemed fun so I thought I would check out the discord and maybe support it or just find out more information. Heck a mod button exists maybe I can get some mods or subscribe for more content.

Only to be punished on discord for what they said was piracy. Then come to this thread and find a very argumentative dev and some very self important people on both sides.

Good luck to you dev I wish you well, but even if you are in the right I don't think it's really going to matter. Not everybody is plugged in. TBH I really don't have the mental energy to care about all this, But I know it's going to drive away paying customers.

Heck, It drove me away after all.

I know,I have no idea about game developing but you said that "thats what paying my bills rn" so im just trying to give advices to make your game official than you can finance multiplatform maybe. Im saying again i have no idea how things work i just wanna give useful advices. You know trying to solve problem "like an engineer" not "as an engineer" cuz you know I have no expertise in this matter.
Edit: I can imagine if think this you can think that too maybe you can do a risk assessment or smth. I mean weigh the pros and cons you got me.
