You do realise that DC actually streams on Picarto everyday (except during week end) and that you can see what he's working on and ask him all kind of questions ? Plus, sure DC got his home, the food for his children etc... with the Patreon money but as far as I know those are donations, and he respected the goals he has set so far. He doesn't ask people to give so he'll make the game, this is more a "plus" (a huuuge plus really).Alright, let me break this down. This post is about the game and its production.
One side is filled with people not taking into account that this game is DC's livelihood. So, current patrons being unhappy (which a lot of people are also unhappy on the patreon page) can directly affect his life. People vocalizing what they're unhappy about should be important to him. Whether you like or dislike people bitching about it, is of actual no concern. This is how business works. Everyone has a right to be pissed about the way things are done and he has a right to not care, but that will probably negatively affect his income. Something that many of you aren't taking into account. "If you don't it like it, then don't play it or pay for it." I'm guessing you're not successful businessmen. For example, look at Akabur, he used to be pulling in over $10k, but he's so horrendously slow with updates that many of the patrons have left. Fortunately, he says he doesn't really care about the money, so that's actually a plus.
You saying that DC owes them nothing is just a straight fallacy. DC owes his home to them, (I'm assuming this since he said that this would be full time after $6k) his food for his child, his food for his wife, the ability to stay home with them at all times. Even the people who don't support his patreon help with this because the more people who vocalize about it, (good or bad) the more people will check it out. Then those people may become fans and decide to support him financially. The people who actually just have no real criticism are still helping the game at its current state. So, I say, let the bitching continue.
I think he should be more open about what is going on with the inner workings of the project. (and not put that information behind a $5 paywall) Not necessarily spoiler stuff. It can be "I finished up art on this person and now am working on art for a scene." When the only information you hear about the project is a mediocre bar graph that is rarely updated, that easily becomes a point of contention. Most people bitching are talking about how long it takes to update. Personally, it's a little annoying, but until you see how much content is released I think the bitching about that specific thing should be kept to a minimum. The Roxxy update was great, in my opinion. Lots of new story and scenes and since you only have one artist on the project, I really think it was a reasonable amount of time. The Diane update was a little disappointing, but hey, you can't win them all.
I don't like that it takes 5-6 months for an update to happen, but I also am holding off my real feelings towards .18 and its production time until it's released. Until then, I'll just keep shitposting about my minor annoyance over a porn game.
The one thing I actually am truly unhappy about (since two updates ago) how long it takes to assemble the images into an animation. But, then again, I don't know what process they go through to do it, but it seems incredibly inefficient.
Either or, DC does great work, makes great art, and has a good thing going for him. If we keep him happy, I think he'll keep making games for years. I just hope he doesn't get greedy, like I've seen so many patreons fall into. *Cough* Breeding Season *cough*
I agree with you that criticism should be allowed for everyone but on this thread you'll most of time see people being mad cause they don't have their fap material
(Sorry for the broken english)
