Untrue at all. Compare Bioware's early games like Jade Empire to Anthem and you'll find a stark difference between the idea of games making money and money for making games.
Money for a game does not calculate to a game's success. See also Anthem, 6 years of development and chaotic management that destroyed the team and production.
[quote When games face delays it usually comes down to the development team, circumstances with the direction/director or last minute publisher demands. As you mentioned that he is indie and has no one warping his vision to add microtranctions for example, then thats not a liable excuse.
Then you're being dishonest by comparing the AAA industry as you're doing to indie development, particularly the adult gaming niche that this game belongs to.
This is just dishonest. This has nothing to do with the speed of production or what's being done behind the scenes. Even though Anthem had 6 years, are you telling me that they could only produce Anthem with perpetual crunch and mismanagement when they've created great games in the past? Why does this matter to Kompas' team and their way of producing content?
So how is it that you know so much about the engine used and the limitations in this niche game to complain but don't see why or how the other aspects (story, posing, etc) might also be hangups?
It's still a fallacy to think that more people on the team will affect production when one coder just left the team, another artist is highly expensive and somehow, the money means that it's a measure of success instead of fallacious thinking about what's actually happening behind the scenes?

Very well said. Bioware is one of my favorite developers ever and EA's greed killed them to my complete sadness. Jade Empire is a hidden gem that many people should play and I have been asking for a sequel for years. But I am not being dishonest. I have no idea of how Darkcookie does his business or how he takes his funding and uses it. In fact I do not think anyone here knows. I am just giving an opinion based on his track record, the consistency of the content and the amount of money that his Patreon says he is making. Nothing else. An assumption based on what little data is out there and what little information the dev gives on his far inbetween updates in patreon. Due to this the argument is flawed because the data is lacking. I know that every game is different and every team is different. Look at Undertale, look at Super Meat Boy, look at binding of Issac, etc. I like to see people's views on this subject since games media is something I care about and this being one of the highest funded H rated games out there is one of interest for me. No necessarily saying that anyone here is wrong or right, just differences of opinions. But I had a dream that everyone here will be able to fap on a timely matter or at least on a consistently bases. Maybe once every 1-2 months on this game not once every 6 months. And is there so wrong to ask? People are dying from the thirst, don't you see?
