Guy from Stardew Valley made his entire game from scratch, ALONE, in 4 years and that was WITHOUT a patreon giving him 10k dollars every month.I really wish people would stop bashing the developers especially when it is only 1 or 2 people working on a project. I could understand if this was a company and it was basically trying to skim money but this is 1 person who is trying to do the job of about 15 people. and when you think about all the parts that go into a game 1 person can only do so much. So please think before you bash.
Oni isn't just some guy doing this as a hobby. He is doing it for a while now and gets paid enough to be doing it full time. 10k a month is not a small sum of money, so that does mean people build certain expectations. The fact that the game has only come this far is a demonstration of how pig headed he was when this thing started and he kept coding in the least efficient way possible despite people constantly tolding him so.
At least now he is willing to ask for help, so baby step I suppose.
