When you buy a car are you concerned about the manufacturers bottom line? How about the place you buy your groceries? Do you get pangs of guilt when you shop at another market? Or how about a streaming service like Netflix, are you a loyal supporter or do you switch back and forth between streamers after you binge your favorite episodes?
It would be the latter, but not an accurate percentage. The version number corresponds with the chapter number for easy association. So v0.9 = Chapter 9. Chapter 10 will be v0.10. We don't know how many chapters in total it will take yet, around 20 - 40. So if v0.30 would mean the game is 95% complete, v0.9 means that it's only 25-30% complete.
You're on a pirate forum so your transaction example is irrelevant. You don't choose to buy it or not, you're choosing to play it regardless which makes not only your point not helpful but also hypocritical. Either you don't care about this creator / game and you don't play it, or you play it because you enjoy it and want it to improve. Not caring about the creator's financial success, whose game you're enjoying for free, and trying to give business advice to the said creator at the same time is just extremely disrespectful.
First of all, just because I post on this forum is an irrelevant point. I have supported several campaigns on Patreon, including ORS.
Ah, the age old misconception about Patreon (and patronage).
You jumped into an ongoing discussion on whether the developer should write the whole script in advance to avoid doing rewrites, where I pointed out that it probably isn't a viable option for a developer like Eva because it would significantly affect her followers count. That's the main point I've been making since the beginning, so the one taking the conversation down different paths isn't me.
Oh not this shit again. The 'Philosophy of Patreon' (LOL) is a scam. They sell products and services. This has been established in court's all over the world after Patreon lost a series of court cases for avoiding paying sales tax. Look at their tier system. The rewards that 'Patron's' receive for giving more each month are all based around recieving the product sooner. Without the product nobody would bother with giving money to Patreon in the first place. Also, look at the debate you just jumped into. Bloody Mares called this a 'Pirate Site'. What exactly are they pirating if there is no product? So spare me your condescinding lectures.
Maybe you should take your own advice.At least try to learn how patreon works before talking nonsense.
You, of all people, calling someone out for condescending lectures is what we call irony.
That's a very shortsighted point of view. Why would I want to buy a car from a manufacturer that will be out of business within a year? Repairs would be a nightmare. There is a larger context than just getting a product for the lowest possible price (much less getting a single installment of a larger whole).
Except it's not an exorbitant price. It's $6.50 for an update (or the entire game, if you haven't played before). You get up to one month's worth of sneak peeks or development posts, to boot. If you want to continue supporting Eva between updates you can, but you're the one who insists you don't need to care about the long term viability of her business model.
I hope there is more progress with Holly.
More lesbian storylines because i tire of corruption routes with scumbag males for Lena.
The upcoming scenes I remember being talked about in chapter 9, were the Ian/Alison/Jeremy threesome, Lena's and Ivy's photo shoot with Billy, and Lena's inner monologue about how she needs to talk to Jeremy. The two former have been mentioned several times, so I'm guessing we'll see them in chapter 10.
The build up just makes those scenes all the better when they do come. In corruption games it is about the journey as much as the destination.
I'm hoping Ian finally gives Jessica a call and Holly and Mark go on their date.
