You're right. But honestly who the hell uses backtick besides plebian JS programmers.

Anyone who wants to open the console in Pure Onyx I'd guess.
I feel like with 13K/month you could pump out real updates at a monthly basis, maybe hire 2-3 more programmers to help you.
I'm new to the h-game/indie game stuff but am I off in seeing a pattern of making a really good porn game and then just taking forever updating it to grift as much as possible. Makes me want to make one.

If I remember correctly that world map was already shown in previous image post like 1 or 2 years ago and they just now put it in the game. Its such a tiny minor addition. Visually pleasing but still......

Everytime I see this video (and pretty much any of their early promo material), it pains me to imagine what this game could've been. Wasted potential.
Hope it doesn't go down the drain like that other game they were developing.
I was an ealy supporter of the Malise game, and feel the same way about that. Could have been a really short, but super high quality RPG Maker game. Biggest problem with Ero is high quality takes time or a big studio, that map and the sheer number of missions was never going to happen unless re-using most of the enemy sprites. No planning with these guys, just a creative ideas team, though with excellent skills (reason I follow it is I majorly dig Ero's artwork)
yup, same. The animations and everything is absolutely on point.
Maybe they should just bite the bullet and hire a competent Project manager.
I hate to be cynical but I think it is working perfectly from a business perspective, keep adding features as long as the money is coming in and rely on subsribers imagination and the sheer number. Basically patron's leave, new ones find the game and pay up.
If Ero said that to make the game in 3 years is will have 2 stages and 3 enemies plus 1 boss in each, with 8-10 hentai animations per stage. Would people still subscribe? Possibly, if he just keeps announcing the next great thing....... (rely on imagination)
well, yea... I've seen that in the software industry too. But that honeymoon phase lasts only for a few years, which is nothing from the perspective of a business' longevity. Many people are already frustrated with them especially because of Malise.
It's in their best interest to stop milking the cow and actually deliver something. And soon.
Even if he/they hired people and finished and released these games in a reasonable manner, they'd still retain support because then comes then you announce the next big project and an expansion for Pure Onyx, etc, etc. The more I read this thread the more I feel envy because of the money and idignation because if I was getting 13K/month, this would be my full time job with zero complaints.
There will be expenses in there as well, the animator recently used won't come for free, nor will the coders/moddellers. But still a good 5/6k I suspect, then tax (if he bothers).
Ero is probably shooting himself in the foot, as eventually he will get Western competition. I've noticed that with the RPG Maker games, competition is getting more brutal. This space just really has the asian games currently.
I'll do you one better, any chance this actually gets finished? And another one, would we still be alive when it gets finished?
