I agree with all of that except one.. from the point of a product is may seem like a failure..I didn't say it was without the issues, but this game is not to make a flawless game which will be a bestseller nor is it designed to reach the widest audience ever. It was an experiment of theirs and a practice at making games.
If you had the money, you'd hire people with experience. If you have no such money, you make games to gain experience. I see how this game works and I see how many mistakes they made and how much they could have learned from it. From the point of a product it may seem like a failure, but from the point of a game development I think it was a valuable experience for them and hopefully they'll use it for the future.
I don't make games, but I was learning programming as a hobby and I learned it mostly by doing stuff and learning from my mistakes. After realizing how flawed my past code was and revising it up to a point that it was neat and working good, optimizing stuff and removing unnecessary stuff. Adding new code only to find out it's hanging in there as if it was connected by a duct tape... Then scrapping it all and writing everything anew.
There's no point in flaming them for it, since it's like laughing at a child that it walks or speaks weird.
It's all part a process of learning and I hope their next game I play will do better.
it is a huge success.. the game is buggy af but the sales and the patreon support per month.. the game was a ridiculous success.. embarrassingly even.. but DEVs have no shame especially ones that use patreon.. I've noticed only a few DEVs on patreon are honest and really hardworking.. I can't comment on teamKrama.. except that IF they were both of those, and they were working and learning by making this game.. IF, since I don't believe it, but I don't know for sure..
if they were, then they would have debugged the game and continued to correct and make systems better.. even for a next game.. but I'm pretty sure that the next game or dlc they put out will be just more 'content' instead of better systems or gameplay..
there is a part of me that could see myself doing what they are doing.. playing around with stuff.. in other words, not seriously trying to fix gameplay or make stuff better, and instead just adding stuff or creating a new system.. adding the new system on to the past slightly buggy system, before going through the old system to fix everything and optimize..
but that is what it is.. playing around, messing around.. whatever you what to call it.. anyways, I guess I can't really fault them for it.. rolling in cash and playing around.. quite a few ppl would do that, given the chance honestly..
edit: one thing though I did notice.. they did somewhat fix the hair issue.. and a few bugs from before.. but idk when that happened.. it could be this update/patch.. if so, that is good and it something I do appreciate.. it's just that it took them a LONG time, so idk.. still it's good they finally decided to fix some of it
