I... I can't tell at this point if people are trolling or not. Do people NOT investigate how development is going and then blog post that they're taking too long? My brain hurts trying to tell the trolls from the genuinely ignorant. I'm pretty sure OnEdge's discord is open to everyone. If you dig through the creator's engagement with his supporters I'm sure you can figure out WHY it's "taking so long". I won't tell you why cause I've done it myself and now I UNDERSTAND why it's taking so long. Go read what is actually important and don't make assumptions based on half-assed conclusions. Christ...
People have four choices:
- Use personal Discord account to follow porn creators
- Create a second Discord account to follow porn creators
- Subscribe (pay money) to find out about the development on Subscribestar
- Go through countless of pages on the F95 thread to find that one or two guys talking about the progress
Personally
I'm not interested in using my
day-to-day Discord account to lurk on pornographic Discord channels as I also use Discord on my phone. I can already see it happening where I open Discord to check something out and it's open on that porn Discord and people around me see it, depending on the situation it can either be simply awkward or I get f*cked over for "Watching porn at work".
I am also
not interested in creating a second account just to follow one or a few developers that both paywall their updates and lock it behind a Discord-channel so they can show off
"Look at how many members I have on my Discord-channel".
If I support a developer, it's a developer that has
at least one finished game that I liked, in the current state this game is bare bones plus slightly grindy and with 1 year of no game update I have no guarantee if it will ever be finished. Nor do I know if the next update was worth the wait.
The developer decided to hide updates behind a paywall and Discord where you'll have to register an account to view it, rather than creating something like a
Twitter-account and keep us in touch about the progress.
So if you decide to subscribe or go onto his Discord channel, that's your choice but don't force others to make the same choices you do.
For me personally I'm awaiting how this game will turn out, not going to complain about the progress as I have enough other things to keep me occupied, just felt I had to respond to this.
