"not even 6 years ago" LOL. Do you recognize how long 6 years is? You can become a fucking doctor in 6 years. You can become an engineer in 4. You can graduate high school in 3-4. (all depending on the country)
Btw, I doubt he still don't really
knows how to make 3D art. Aren't almost all of his models/backgrounds/general assets from ready-to-use DAZ. I'm sure he knows a lot more than your average person, but I'm also sure he doesn't know nearly as much as a normal indie game developer–not AVN. I'm not sure if you're aware but programming for the renpy is pretty much the easiest form of coding there is. First step is writing "print("Hello World")" in Python, second step is things like renpy

. If any of you want to try how easy it is to write renpy code, just write few lines of dialoge and give it to chatGPT. Congratulations you know "how to code" now–if you're writing new minigames like BaDIK, then it gets
slightly more complicated but that's not the issue in this game. If all he ever did was to be able to slightly morph the ready models and code renpy, I'm afraid hes wasted his 5 years and 9 months. As far as I can estimate, the most time consuming part is the animations and he doesn't do that himself. I'll give him his flowers, he uses nice models, camera angles aren't bad, story is above average. But this–especially the last update–is simply laughable. His "defense" is even more funnier.
ALSO, 11
major game updates in 6 years. Do you have any idea what a
major update is??? Just because you think you worked hard on it, doesn't make it major.
