No body likes to wait but it’s been mentioned several times the dev had recent family issues hence the ^ this update took ages to come ^ .
Also I don’t think it’s a bit fair to simply say 2 months to get just one day worth. One day worth of game play in this game is about 2000 renders as compared to other games of 180-400 renders.
The only thing perhaps is the dev is abit poor in date estimates. Then again most game devs seems to have the same situation. Best is simply don’t mention date releases just to cover themselves if they can’t hit the target and end up pressurised.
Well, 2 things:
1. patron charges money on a monthly base. So to have to wait longer also increases the money paid for an actual update.
Yes, it is shitty to make more pressure on PW for something as good and well written as PS, but from a customer perspective it sometimes feels like your favourite cereal increased its price by a dollar or more. Till now, we had monthly updates.
2. PW asked his patrons if he should release the update without the pokerevent and then rerelease as it is done, or if he should do it in a oneshot. Both ideas were wanted, PW decided for the oneshot.
So something should change in future. a better worked out timeshedule would be fine so the customers know what they are waiting for end when to expect it. or less storystrings next to each other so the updates are less workintensive and the progress is high. or billing per major update. or splitting up, so monthly updates are guaranteed. Something like that.
And it would help getting your monthly "release" with Amy ;D
I don't want a loss in quality of the game. I really like it. I just want back to the monthly stuff. Even if an update isn't as big as it where before. 2000 Renders are nice to have, but i would prefere to get there in 400er chunks if it means more frequency.
The family issues are bad indeed. I forgot it, but also because the delay is not just because of that, but also because of structural problems, like too many stings, too many ideas to set next to each other... The life of an artist ;-) perhaps some pressure can help, perhaps not. we will see.
I'm really looking forward for this. like... REALLY. But i also did before my 3 weeks vacation, and there just the pokerevent and some other scenes where missing. now i'm back to work for 2 weeks... But hey, we finally hit Beta, and we get our sexy stuff soon, so there will be no frustration anymore ;D
