so we are on 0.20.16 alpha build of this game. 7 years of development hell and the game is only 21% complete.... and now abandoned LOL the poor marks still paying a monthly fee for nothing.
The game isn't in alpha at all, not sure where you're getting that from. It's pretty polished except for the lack of audio in many places, and of course the small aspect ratio and some behind the scenes spaghetti code, hence why there's a tech-update. Nor has it been in development hell for 7 years, it's gotten consistent updates for all of those years.
It's also not 21% complete, there's a lot of content that's already finished, not many games have as much content as SS.
You're holding this game to traditional standards when there's one guy that draws and manages the game while there's a couple other dudes doing all the rest part-time, you can donate if you want, or not, because the game is completely free to download for everyone. I know this might be a little much for you so please don't drown in your own drool when wrapping your head around this otherworldly concept.
we can tell who is a paying mark in here LOL
and build number is % done. it always has been. when it gets to build 1.0 the game is complete. we at 0.20.16 so about 21% done. DC is taking yall for a ride! LOL
That's not how it works at all. No software developer is going to calculate exactly how many builds it's going to take to get to 1.0, nor will they restrict themselves to 100 builds for the sake of some rule you literally just made up. Build versions are nothing but symbols to communicate that this build is different from the last, devs call something 1.0 whenever they want.
even if you have only been paying him a dollar a month for the last few years you have still paid too much for this game. it's a 10 dollar game at best. yall got took for a ride. it's dorky cartoon art i'm just here for lolz. these bitches aren't even hot. just trying to help you save money out here. i'm out see you next week!
I can tell you that the vast majority of people here aren't patrons of DC. Even then, people can do with their money whatever they want, just because you have different taste doesn't mean people are getting shafted, it just means you don't think it's worth donating to.
The game's in a rough spot right now because they underestimated how much work it would take to essentially revisit every piece of art and code to rework it. Among that there's definitely criticism to be had, but at the end none of that matters because you're not paying for anything, you're donating to show support and/or appreciation for what he's doing, that doesn't mean he's obligated to change what he's doing.
Imagine a lot of people donate money to a street musician every time they come by because they like his music, he isn't suddenly obligated to do certain things to appease people who donate, he just does his thing and if people donate they donate, if they don't they don't, no matter how much money he collects from all those people tossing some change his way.
