Is this a meta strategy btw? Having moralistic debates on a pirate site so long that someone gets tired of watching and pays and leaks just to shut everyone up? That would be pretty peak.
nah, doubtful. I think it has more to do with the fact that some people don't get that it's not a black or white issue. You can be a pirate and still want the devs to make money. I'm just as impatient as everyone else, but I want the dev to be able to keep making the game, so I wait, and encourage others to be patient. Just because we get something for free doesn't mean we have to advocate for completely screwing over the devs.

Mfw I see multiple new pages of content on the thread but instead of a leak it’s just arguments about Patreon and early access. View attachment 4388136
Its actually triggering me tbh. I thought I was nigh untriggerable but this annoying spam is frying me. Shit or get off the pot.

Describes me to a T right now. Im on the verge of narc'ing so mods do cleanup. The short essays are fucking ridiculous.

That's one of the reasons why I stopped supporting this game. I realized that I've supported enough, I realized that my support isn't being valued enough, and I realized that I better put it towards smaller devs who need it more.
That's just how it goes. That warm and fuzzy feeling I mentioned where you feel like an integral component of a project isn't as compelling the larger and larger a project gets. There's absolutely nothing wrong with spreading the love around, especially to up-and-coming creators.

That said, it's hard to add value to your tiers when you want to avoid perks that eat into development time or dictate story content. Instead, we've been fortunate enough to sustain ourselves with a "if you like us, support us" model with very few frills. Sometimes that means people spending $50 an update cycle, other times that means people like you who support us for months and then move on, and sometimes it's people that have stuck around with us for 4+ years. All types have enabled us to consistently work on Pale Carnations and (freely) put it in the hands of everyone.

I really do appreciate the support you've given us in the past and it's your prerogative to say what's enough. I mean, I myself am not a total fan of how centralized the Patreon platform is for this hobby both on the creator and a consumer side, but I won't get into that.

Hi everyone, hope you are all enjoying the holiday season and keeping safe and well. Just a kind reminder to keep the conversation centred on the topic concerning the game 'Pale Carnations'. I've noticed a TON of off-topic chatter discussing Patreon politics, game dev updates, excessive discussions around development times/speed/updates, random off-topic conversations around flash games, and other discussions around other games (e.g., Eternum). All of which have no place for conversations in the 'Pale Carnations' game thread. Please take any prolonged/disruptive conversations to DMs and/or offline on Discord. Further thread derailing will result in warning/infraction points being handed out along with thread bans. The mod team and I appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Have a good rest of your day and new years ahead.
