Not exactly. Today before the release they have less than 180 patrons. Few hours later after support they have 190. So, their support increase right after the release.
Those 10 people are the desperate people that couldn't wait for the release, and decided to get it themselves. Now imagine. These 10 people with the leak can increase to 100, then to 1000, then eventually transcend those numbers. This happens through leaking. This is how every game on this website grew, and that is the reason why they posted the game here in the first place. This website is a site to share releases. They knew what they were getting into. There is no reason to tell people not to leak it. If they want to leak it, let them. If they don't want to, they won't. It's simple.
I agree, i'm just saying that there is no problem in wait a little, for us and for the devs. Update probably will be leaked when become avaiable to the $6 tiers.
yeah, f95zone is the most effective way to gather supporters, I agree with your comment. However, the dev of the game hasn't made a decision that 'I won't share it with the public'. The game will be available to all kinds of public either now or in 10-20 days. If it is leaked early, they will miss the support of impatient people. Even if it comes out in 10-20 days, it will still be met with great interest. In other words, it will have the support of both the impatient people and the support of a large audience who want to support the game on f95zone forum. win win
There is nothing flawed about it, several developers have spoken about it. Timestamps devs recently spoke about it, every time their game gets leaked early they lose patreons instead of gain them. Even WWG the dev of Power Vaccum from your signature has spoken how how he loses subscribes if the game gets leaked very early on.
I get what you're trying to say but that won't happen, people are too horny for stuff like that, not to mention that this is a piracy site and there are several of the kind out there.
I know, it's still worth a try. It's actually criminal that this game has below 200 subs... My concern is since more than 1 dev works on it, they will lose interest in it once it doesn't pick up enough steam... And despite being super promising game its off to a fairly slow start.
Agreed. I hope it gets more support, so far I think it's better than a lot of these watered down cliché games around here.
this game has just started - having 150-200 patrons after few months only is quite good start,a start a few (normal) games had.
I am pretty sure the game hasn't gotten much of an increase in the last couple of updates, which is why i am concerned.
this game had only one (substantial) update after the initial release, two if we are counting the latest one (just being released), really not sure where are you finding "the last couple of updates...".
It had 2 updates since the release and i am basing it based on watching those numbers. Maybe my concerns are unjustified, it still doesn't change the fact that the longer people wait to leak the update the more patreon subs the devs get and vice versa. So it is in my interest and everyone elses to prolong that as long as possible, of course it doesn't matter now since it was leaked anyway now...
