Are you seriously dissing somebody who, on their own, made a pretty damn solid (in terms of gameplay) free* game on top of providing it with (at least in my eyes) highly appealing unique artwork?
"I don't always facepalm posts, but when I do, it's damn well earned."
A game which in terms of gameplay almost completely lacks feedback and which in one way or another gets reworked every so often.
Look, for example the centaur art was complete and had scaling assets based on stats. But the author thought he got an idea for a better art, so it was reworked from ground up and now has different faces aaaaand now it's missing all the features the previous art had. What was even the point?
Not to mention that for what is basically a glorified text game with pictures, the writing is awful, both in form and substance.
The dude work on is own free time to make a game that is 100% free, make monthly update and patch. The art is solide and the gameplay is good (a bit easy to exploit)
Pls dont bitch about his work ethic unless you are actualy capable of doing bether FOR FREE.
bonne nuit a vous
Just because you got conditioned into thinking that systematic work on a single project is an amazing feat, doesn't mean it actually is.
And is it really "bitching" about author's work ethic if that's exactly what the author said? You're barking up the wrong tree here.
...but even then it's the old good argument that can be refuted with a line like: "You don’t need to be a chef to say a meal tastes bad". Because that argument is fundamentally idiotic.
What, do you first need to make a car to know one is broken?
Do you need to make movie to tell a movie is bad?
Do you need to write a novel to know the story is full plot holes?
Do you need to write and record a song to know a 2 beat song with lyrics consisting of one sentence is garbage that's been regurgitated for the n-th time on the radio?
The answer to each one of those questions is "No".
Half of the game is text and the author can't be assed to pronounce words correctly or fill placeholders that were in the game when I first heard of it a year ago.
I'm allowed to criticize that.
PS. Every game on Patreon is "free", so again, you aren't making any argument here.
