How complex it is, is irrelevant to the point. The point was that he made better, less buggy updates when he was doing monthly updates, which is true. He chose to use a poor base system for game creation over something far more appropriate like Ren'py, and continues to refuse to change it. That's his fault, period. Also, while I am not that knowledgeable in coding, there is no way in hell this game is THAT complex. At least not compared to actual full games. It is essentially a visual novel.
No, it is NOT irrelevant to the point. When he did the monthly updates it was due the fact that, back then the coding wasn't as complicated.
Yes... he chose to use that... at a time when SU was intended to be vastly smaller and only contain the Glamour Slam and the Meta Bordello...
Back then he wanted to make a small game, used the back then up to date version of Fungus and it ballooned out of proportions. Fungus creates, from what I understand, the Coding from "A to B" by itself, so probably part of the reason why the stuff was faster back then. But the size of the game that it has NOW is so large that the creator of fungus was surpirsed that the game worked. ANd he can't update the version of Fungus. he tried.
"He refuses to change it"... he hired somebody to DO THAT... and that guy didn't deliver and behaved badly... And now, if SR7 would do it himself, he'd need to... right, put everything else on hold. And then you don't get an update for SU for a year minimum. Geee, i wonder how this thread would look in that case? Maybe "SR7 really is milking it! No update in 6 months! Suuuure, he's working on the rebuild! And idiots believe that!"
A minor time waster in this is, that due to either fungus or unity, the dialogues can't be just copy pasted into a new build, so they all have to be rewritten (though aside of time wasteage that might not be that bad... the word "Retard" is quite overused imho, especially when, for Lex, it imho isn't really in character)
And when the rebuild is released: "What? NOthing new?! what did he waste time on?!"
First off, people will always complain to some degree. That's true with literally anything in life. But that does not justify not fixing the game. Especially since, logically, people might complain when it's being rebuilt but would complain far less once it was finished being rebuilt. Compared to now where the game just continues to shamble along in it's current broken state where it's nearly always late and nearly always buggy.
I agree that people who don't support it but complain when they don't get the content they want is dumb, but people criticizing it for SR7 not meeting his deadlines that he constantly shifts goalposts with and also constantly has buggy releases are absolutely right for doing so, whether they support it or not. I don't have to throw away money to buy a broken game to be allowed to criticize it for being broken.
Also, you do realize that people here really don't have any incentive to lie, while SR7 DOES, right? You know, since he makes money off the game. So if he can convince people that all these problems are acceptable, he retains revenue. So why are you believing the guy who has reason to lie to you again?
People always complain to some degree. I know that. I complain a whole lot about, for example, Total War: Warhammer, and especially the direction Kislev takes in 3 (Kislev Reborn, a mod for 2, is much better imho). However, this thread has 1333 pages... and I'm fairly certain that, if the circle of shitting on the game was deleted... it'd be down to 500, +/-.
And the moment anyone says anything positive that ISN'T "But hte artwork looks good." Or tries to take a different PoV on a topic: "COPE! COPE HARDER YOU SHEEP!!!"
Not having an incentive to lie doesn't mean that they tell the truth. They make their theories and reurgitate it so much together that, for them, that's the truth. "SR7 is lying and that's the truth and everything to the contrary is a lie and if you believe it, you're a stupid, gullible sheep." That wouldn't change if SR
Though in regards of "lying", i use bracketts here, because I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt for a misunderstanding here, a while ago a post with the following text was posted:
"Game is free because the minute he charges for it, he is going to have DC literally on his ass, as he is ussing characters he doesn't own. And it was the whole decission, so it is not "Pirating" it because the base concept of the LAWSUIT he had involves it being free".
There never was a lawsuit. There was a cease and desist ABOUT THE TITLE, back then Injustice Unlimited... and to the great embarassment of WB, that was one of the first things to show up when somebody googled for "Injustice" when the game came out.
And while it's not "Pirating" in the traditional sense, there is a public version, and there are the patreon versions. The final game will be free, but early access to newer builds is locked behind pay.
Did the person lie? Or just misunderstand that? I'm not going to make a call here, but people throwing out claims, without being able to proof it, claiming absolute truth and certainty behind them and going "everything else is a lie!" also leads to stuff like Flat-Earth when repeated just enough...
This is Giga-Cope at best.
No, it's factual. And in anyway, for you and a good number of others who then go on about how they don't even pay for the versions that are behind a paywall because updating sucks, "coping" is anything short of "I stopped paying, pirated it, pissed on his greatparents grave and set an efigy of him on fire."
If the game fucks all of you so much... why do you keep BOTHERING with it? Why don't you just say: "Meh..." and leave it be? Or check in on it once every year and then get the most update to date version with the content of multiple updates?
Or, considering how many people here constantly go on about how SR7 is lying his arse off about coding issues, since you lot seemingly are genius level code monkeys... why don't YOU go ahead and offer SR7 to do the rebuild?
Right... either because you don't have a clue about coding... or because "meh, don't wanna." Or... because then you wouldn't be able to BITCH about it, because you'd be PART of the problem.
