I saw discussion earlier about the release frequency of the game, and wanted to add my two cents. In my opinion, taking over 3-4 months to release what is the most supported and popular game out there, is unacceptable. Isn't the entire idea with getting a lot of pledges to expand production to drastically increase efficiency and quality?
I get that DC might draw everything by hand and that they want to put out a higher quality at a slower pace rather than lower quality at higher pace. But, come on, they're making almost $50K! I know nothing about game development, but there shold be at least some way that this translates into more frequent releases.
With the amount of resources this team has, there is no reason for why the game shouldn't be able to get released monthly. I mean, is there seriously no competent artist out there capable of mimicing the art work in Summertime Saga and help DC with that aspect? Why can a dedicated coder or writer not be finished within a month when other developers who work entirely by themselves manage to do so?
Probably, I'll get backlash for this comment, but it's my opinion and I stand by it. It's inexcusable to have it take up towards a third of a year to release a game that is supported as heavly as this one is.
