Good news, patreon is being sued by owen benjamin fans and will be forced to pay 10 000$ for each one that sue them. The fact that patreon will go down will force all the lazy asses to go work for a change to gain back all the people who forgot they subscibed to him/them.

The main problem with the patreon model (for software development at least) is that often developers, the few that actually complete a project anyway, at the end release their product for free. This means that for them the only source of income is gonna be during development time which means that the lazier and slower they are the better for their finances that is. You are not incentivized to meet deadlines but rather the opposite. The only way I can see a patreon model work is for art creation, some regular content that you appreciate and that repays u constantly of the money you have invested on that artist rather than the hope of a future project that may never be delivered. Why isn't kickstarter used for this kind of projects anyway? So that if a project is abandoned people gets their money back.

Waiting for an update wouldn't be nearly as hard if I could play an older version of the game in the meantime. But I can't, every startup of versions 0.2.11 or 0.2.10b results in a crash every time, without fail. If anyone has any solutions, I'd love you forever. Physically or in spirit.

This project is going to end the same way as The Cathouse Tale. Developer burnout.

Like the CHT devs they kept trying to do more work but they no longer loved their passion project. They keep telling themselves they will "get better and get back to work. I can't tell the subscribers I'm losing interest they'll back out and I'll never get them back when I get that spark again." So they keep trudging on hoping next week, next month, etc will be different. As they toss crumbs at their customers baiting them along with false hope.

There's a crash log hidden somewhere. Try adjusting graphics settings / updating drivers I think the game had problems with NVIDIA drivers at one point.

I updated my NVIDIA driver to the most recent one, since I was running a months-old version, and launched the game on various graphics settings. Still freezes seconds after starting, I never even make it to the main menu. And that crash log might as well be invisible lmfao

Are you getting to the intro screen where you can select screen resolution and graphics quality?

Yeah, that pops up, I'm able to choose both of those, along with input. And then I launch the game, and it freezes. The cursor for Rack 2 is there, but it freezes before the actual profile selection menu starts up.
