That's steep, didn't know patreon or subscribers star take that kind of tax cut from the developers, so I guess in the long run it's alot of work with not alot of earning fee in the end , at least if you are not the developer of "Summer time saga"there is not a flat rate, it depends on a few things, but creators are not getting even close on what you'd expect... make of this what you will

But who knows maby they will start releasing updates quicker .
For an american it's not that much, but enough to live decently imo (if you don't live in a big city like New York). Alorth also has other incomes.with taxes, patreon cut etc it's not that much money in the end
It's all very interesting information . I hope as subscriber I will not get burned just like what happened with the game "Midlife crisis" I was a long time supporter and then bam , Gone with the wind. False promises much :-(
Just for your information, Dammed other game's update was due any day... 3 years ago and still nothing.

The developer of radient actually communicate quite often on the discord channel in private and in the chat channels , so for that I thankfull other developers whom I had supported in the past didn't even do that , but charged a hafty sum for their product. All of whom today their games are abandoned tag.It's understandable if game updates slide. It's a living thing that grows under developers' hands and it'd need tweaking and partial rework along the way - all good.
What is difficult to understand with this dev are the missing status updates. Especially if you announce them, only to treat your Patreons on the promised date to a deafening silence. Nothing creates mistrust and suspicion like that.
On the whole, I prefer a high quality update that's slightly late to a half-baked one delivered on time. But the dev needs to put his cards on the table. If the schedule goes pear-shaped, be open and honest about it - do not go to ground and leave people guessing.
He said he was 70% done. I don't want to go up to bat for him when he's this far behind, but something similar happened last update too. The progress tracker was at like 70%ish when real progress was closer to 90% because he had a lot of work done for scenes that weren't complete, so the progress tracker was under representing finished work.The progress tracker was updated but it barely moved if i'm not misremembering, i'm sure the previous one was posted somewhere in the thread if anyone wants to check

Alorth is not american. He is european, western europe.

Side note: the big takeaway here is to sign up using a web browser rather than iOS store for creators you want to support. Apple taking a 30% cut just for using their app store.there is not a flat rate, it depends on a few things, but creators are not getting even close on what you'd expect... make of this what you will

Honestly, I'd rather someone low-ball their progress percentage than oversell it, so hopefully this is the case. Not trying to defend it either, but I can see how a dev might hesitate to mark a scene as "done" even if he has like 5 of them 80% done.He said he was 70% done. I don't want to go up to bat for him when he's this far behind, but something similar happened last update too.

I'm somewhat skeptical, but hopefully that's what happened here.
Hopefully there's a text update with more details soon.That progress tracker is disheartening.
So sounds like the progress tracker update today is part of several small updates he plans over the next few days, I assume as they put the finishing touches on multiple scenes.Speaking of that: over the course of the next couple of days, you guys will notice numerous updates being made to the Progress Tracker. I will also be posting an updated deadline for Chapter 7 shortly along with another public progress report (with new previews)!
I can rember a worse milking / abandoned game Echi senssei.

oof that's a name I forgot about lmao. Worse than ICSTORI can rember a worse milking / abandoned game Echi senssei.
It won't, from looking at the recent update on the tracker it looks like Alorth hasn't finished his renders and i think he's on vacation till the end of September.I have little confidence that chapter 7 will come out in September after seeing the tracker.
