I urge people not to play this game, whoever is doing the art is doing god's work but the person who is in charge of making the game is shitty af, no direction or guide whatsoever in the game, no new content for like forever, more importantly the bugs are still there the dev seriously just wants money.
To be honest, I never wanted to reply on these kind of post as it sparks conflict into the thread but here's my take on this.
Your sentence states 2 truths and the rest are not true.
2 truths are:
- I'm a shitty dev.
- No direction or guide or whatsoever.
But first I would like you to understand that the game was on it's alpha stage and if you did play the patron nor the public version, it is indicated otherwise when you started the game that it is on 0 to 1% game progression and play at your own accord/volition.
Here's my points as I know you are an intelligent person who reads instead of just typing everything without acknowledging facts.
1. The people in my team who is doing the art are all amazing and was never underpaid.
The patron donations goes to them directly and along with my own pocket money.
If you think $100-200 is enough to cover expenses of the artist then you must be belittling their quality, dedication and hard work to earn a living.
2. I know that I am one of those shitty developer.
I acknowledge my mistakes and that is why we are making an overhaul to correct those stuff that frustrates people.
I do tend to act as soon as possible, approach people and answer them as soon as I can or provide a quick fix to my game.
3. My game is relatively new, we give new scenes every month and never failed to do so.
4. Directions and Guides, as I've been saying on my post here in f95 and in Patreon.
The game is new, and in the start of the game there is a warning to play at your own accord/volition.
I never forced anyone to donate nor play my game.
- But the game is facing some serious changes right now, as it transitions to "beta" period containing quests, guides, etc.
5. If you want to urge people not to play this game as of the current version, that is fine with me.
But if you could give me a chance on the overhaul that would be great.
6. I do not charge my patrons when I do game changes.
I never want to use this but since judging me, I do give donation to this site that you are using to download games (anonymously too) and to the RPGMV scripters (yanfly and galv) who do their job for free, I donate to them as they are the reason why my game took a little spotlight.
So not sure on how you can tell that I seriously just want some money. hmm?
7. Always read the intro of my game to know what's up so that you will avoid being disappointed, my patron page posts also indicates details about the stuff you mentioned, my f95 thread post (this thread) also indicates those stuff before you mentioned all of it, it was already foreseen and being corrected.
8. Bugs happen especially that the game is on alpha stage , but instead of complaining them, report them. I'm not doing the game full-time.
But if I do see one, I fix them right away, if someone reported them in discord I act on it ASAP.
As of the version 0.0.9 should have no bugs as we made rounds to do so that bugs won't infiltrate the last version of the alpha.
P.S.
I urge people not to pledge yet until I am done with my overhaul of the game.
We are on the stage of creating quests, fixing plugins and doing graphical overhaul on the maps with orthographic view (see attached)
