Quite a smart move by the dev I must say. Remove all the content in the game, so you can re-add them later as "updates". All the while farming that sweet monthly cash. Surprised this tactic doesn't get used more often.
Because the goal is a steady stream of income, not a finished product.I will never understand to this day as to why DarkCunt decided to remake the entire fucking game rather then actually finish the fucking content instead.
Sounds like a scam with extra steps.Because the goal is a steady stream of income, not a finished product.
If he finished the game he'd need a new project to keep subscribers hooked and there's no guarantee the new game would be as popular. Much easier to just remake your old shit over and over than to start from scratch.
Most people asked for it. assuming it would take a few months at most.The tech update is baffling. When he releases it like this it becomes more clear what it actually is. Old scenes in a higher resolution. Who asked for old scenes in a higher resolution?
There wasn't all that much content left to do, at least not with the much more sizeable updates we got before all the pre-tech bullshit. Sure, he could artificially stretch it by adding more on top, but that would require more work.Sounds like a scam with extra steps.
Also if you aren't trolling he still wouldve made income from the content updates.
But he did draw new art though, probably for future content which who know when it will comeYou gotta wonder something he spend 2 years fixing the tech stuff. But he himself only draws while other people do the tech stuff. So why did he not draw new art in that time?
Except no sane person gets halfway through finishing a game only to completely wipe and redo it from scratch because they want to make the fucking screen bigger. Finish the fucking game first before you go ahead and start redoing it. Also nobody asked for this over actual content.There wasn't all that much content left to do, at least not with the much more sizeable updates we got before all the pre-tech bullshit.

The remake approach is minimal effort and apparently minimal risk, unless we see a sudden drop in subscriber count next month, which I doubt.
No sane person eh?Except no sane person gets halfway through finishing a game only to completely wipe and redo it from scratch because they want to make the fucking screen bigger. Finish the fucking game first before you go ahead and start redoing it. Also nobody asked for this over actual content.
And I will still standby the fact he wouldve still made money regardless.
No sane person eh?
Not sure how many Patreon devs you just called insane, but there are quite a few projects that were or still are remastered, or had scenes redone, added or removed, visuals reworked and whatnot before the game was ever finished.
As far as I understand the tech update was actually voted for, but of course nobody knew it would take this long and come out this badly.
And yes, he would've made money regardless. Until the game was finished.
That was over 2 years ago so he would've been finished by now and need a new project, preferably one that was far enough along for people to play. Instead he's slowly readding content he already has available, which is a whole lot easier and requires very little effort.
Except they didnt take 3 years because of a completely incompetent and naive dev.Not sure how many Patreon devs you just called insane, but there are quite a few projects that were or still are remastered, or had scenes redone, added or removed, visuals reworked and whatnot before the game was ever finished.
This game will never be finished as long the cow has income, so not sure wtf you talking about.And yes, he would've made money regardless. Until the game was finished.

Of course they did, fucking Seeds of Chaos for instance has been 8 years in the making just for their first act and spent the majority of it changing and redoing their system and endlessly changing and adding scenes.Except they didnt take 3 years because of a completely incompetent and naive dev.
Then what are you arguing with me about?This game will never be finished as long the cow has income, so not sure wtf you talking about.
Of course they did, fucking Seeds of Chaos for instance has been 8 years in the making just for their first act and spent the majority of it changing and redoing their system and endlessly changing and adding scenes.
Plenty of Patreon games do it and few of them ever get to a point where it's done.
Then what are you arguing with me about?
You were the one wondering why DC "decided to remake the entire fucking game rather then actually finish the fucking content instead". My point was that finishing it was not the goal from the beginning.
You were the who started this so don't even go there. I was simply pointing out the stupidity in the situation.Then what are you arguing with me about?

Ok and? This isn't seeds of chaos though isn't it? Also that doesnt make it the "right way". My argument was, whatever way or direction he went in it still would've had the same result. And you literally said so yourself finishing was not the goal.Of course they did, fucking Seeds of Chaos for instance has been 8 years in the making just for their first act and spent the majority of it changing and redoing their system and endlessly changing and adding scenes.

Ok, so now I'm shilling because you're arguing in circles?You were the who started this so don't even go there. I was simply pointing out the stupidity in the situation.
Ok and? Mine was, whatever way or direction he went in it still would've had the same result.
Also, stop the wise ass comments and shilling you aren't fooling anyone.
Probably laugh at you, because this "update" we've been waiting years for just removed 95% of the game, and didn't even update all of the content that's in the 5% it has.Oh No...!!!! What ever will the "Abandoned" crowd do now?
Denial is a hell of a drug. If you weren't shilling why were you getting all defensive when I called DC insane?Ok, so now I'm shilling because you're arguing in circles?
Since you can't decide whether DC should've just finished the content or will never finish the content anyway it's probably best if I just leave you to whatever the fuck you're trying to get across.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Man, if only you would have read the previous page. Or the one before... Or the 40+ ones before, where people keep asking for the Incest Patch.... You would have seen such patch does not exist for the "new" version of Summertime Saga...The patch needs an update. It says this:
