I have a copy of what I think is the most recent version but the dev put the stupid login DRM on it. Even after paying for it I can't log into it because I didn't stay subscribed, because yes, subscribestar is dogshit.
More or less. There hasn't been an update on the Discord or Twitter page in months. Most of the original supporters like myself ended our pledges because the updates were few and far in between.
I 100% agree with this
I figured I wasn't to far from the money when I said what I said above but it just confirms it for me.
as far as I am concerned the projected died when the Dev told people he was applying a Login system and only people who pay will get to play. XD who is with me on this?
It's pitty. Due cases like this, other devs have less support. Maybe we need some kind of "trust metter" on this platform for newborn projects?
Not a bad idea, could do something like the ratings for games that they have. Could have a rate the devs, only concern I have there is people might say things that aren't true to hurt devs but certainly if someone has an experience with a dev who took money from them and then didn't deliver I think people should know. Obviously a new dev will be hard to rate.
I mean something like labels for new born project: "proof of concept", "have 1hour of gameplay", "keep reeasing every month/week/day etc" Just to notice the players, you know.
It is only because of the people who pay for many games that you get to play them for free. The majority of developers do not hand out full copies or updated access to their projects for free. You only get to play them because paying customers share their copies.
As true as that is. if you are charging people every month to play the game... not worth it... I would understand creating a Patreon and asking for help but to forcibly charge people every month and don't release a new update several times within that month is it even worth it at that point... I get it trust me alot of Devs need help and alot of people who like there work are willing to help support him... but if you get mad that your work is being posted on other sites then doesn't that mean it will draw in more attention. while yes you will get others claiming the work... that is when you throw in your own website and have it posted telling people to look out for it.. you don't just create a login and charge people by month for the password to log in.... say someone dished out 400$ and didn't pay one month... and he gets lock out of his login is that fair to the guy who help support him?
I feel you on that. tbh it was a favorite of mine as well. so I know the feeling of seeing the creator trash it is kinda depressing on that note.
