@dspeed and @sdlr, if you're reading this guys, could you help us please ? @patreons who managed to get the link/game, you can trust those guys. They are part of the Expendables Team who makes F95 what it is.dspeed and sdlr can easily bypass anything in this code
I only pledged this mount so i cant download anything until next August. August i will be in holidays so dunno if i can share until last week of the month, sry.
I know. I was talking about someone you guys don't know. He's the one who shared the patreon pics with me in private since nearly 2 months and he, too, can't share the game, because he's afraid. This is isn't right. I don't like this kind of pressure from a dev.I only pledged this mount so i cant download anything until next August. August i will be in holidays so dunno if i can share until last week of the month, sry.
Do not forget that if you try to be elect for something he will rig the election against you.Of course VNorth is pressuring his patreons, Russia has nuclear submarines in every lake and river, and Mr Putin has the Russian SWAT ready in case someone shares the game, one can't be so light-hearted about it.
LMAO. Nice one.Of course VNorth is pressuring his patreons, Russia has nuclear submarines in every lake and river, and Mr Putin has the Russian SWAT ready in case someone shares the game, one can't be so light-hearted about it.
I'm feeling really bad about all this. My friend told me that he probably will not receive the game now. And He wanted to even give back what I spent because we shared the patronage. I did this thinking not to harm Him when He receive the game. I could post without having any problems. All in vain. Sorry.
Don't be sorry. It's not your fault. Nobody saw this sadistic strategy coming.I'm feeling really bad about all this. My friend told me that he probably will not receive the game now.

Thanks My Friend.Don't be sorry. It's not your fault. Nobody saw this sadistic strategy coming.
Why you feel bad? You tried your best , we all just got outsmarted by the KGB. Seems Russia won ;(I've never felt so bad all my life. It's the first time that I don't know what to say.
Not only that but he also banned users who pledged 20$ or 10$ after the beginning of the month asking for a download link. He explains than he set his page to receive payments only at the beginning of the month and not any other way and if you tell him, even very politely, than you just discovered his game and you do not want to wait, he bans you from his Patreon page. As easy than that.I bet he is still pressuring people to not release the game in one way or the other, such an asshole seriously, i honestly hope he loses a lot of his patreons and he comes back begging for attention. He is litterally shooting himself in the foot with this stupid attitude. It is really a shame he became so greedy and a control freak with just a few patreons, it only took this much for him to show his true colors.
I feel the same way. Fortunately, there are devs like DarkCookie who still exist and are not money-incentive. He already made himself a name in the business and this, alone, is enough to attract thousands of fans in a blink of an eye if he ever wants to do another project in the future. In my language, (SEO), DarkCookie is called an e-influencer, and without knowing it, he's already at a very high level. Honesty and hard work always pays off.I've never felt so bad all my life. It's the first time that I don't know what to say.
This is all I can say.Not only that but he also banned users who pledged 20$ or 10$ after the beginning of the month asking for a download link.

I think any creator is free to chose how they want to distribute their products. On the other hand vnorth is not alone about layer up his game with pay walls, and such though.
Worst is cases where pay walls cover extra content and such. I can undeerstand get early access, your name mentioned in credits and maybe some input on the creation of the game in regards of votes in the way things are heading and such.
Sometimes I find something of interest and pledge a month or two. But if progress is slow on development, and I get the feeling you being milked. I just put it on hold and revisit some months later, or maybe.
Saw someone mentioned darkcookie in the thread. He got almost 4700 patreons vs vnorths not even 100. Then again darkcookie is reaching more out to audience with streams and such. Creating interest around his game. Maybe vnorth not in the same position to do such, idk. but rather than throw entitled tantrums over not get access as you want. Maybe would be better to try help the guy out. Maybe one day he reaching up there with darkcookie. He figure it out one day.
I am this someone and I stopped counting the amount of advices/strategies I gave him in order to make his game popular (because, it's my work and I know Google's hidden potential like my pocket). I'm far from being a vainglorious person. I don't care about titles, glory, thanks, etc... I did it because I like his game and I don't regret it (some staff members here know that I'm not lying and what I'm talking about). However, I'm dissapointed in the way Vnorth is acting now. He already reached $500. I don't want to argue with you, but can you bet that the next version will have a... let's say... 90% perfect english ? We'll see about that. Again, I'm not fighting nor trying to be disrespectul towards you or anyone. I'm just telling the truth.
If you fan of grindy as fk russian games with bad machine transelation. Why not check out avengers SOB and Big Kuyash, he recently went Patreon as well. Or why not hobble over at tfgamessite and check out "Girl Life" that is a conversion of ETO being worked on continious and is free. There is options out there.
What a piece of fucking shit seriously.Not only that but he also banned users who pledged 20$ or 10$ after the beginning of the month asking for a download link. He explains than he set his page to receive payments only at the beginning of the month and not any other way and if you tell him, even very politely, than you just discovered his game and you do not want to wait, he bans you from his Patreon page.
