I've never said that everything is perfect, in fact I already mentioned a couple times that our plan for 2021 is to go through all the old dialogue and see if we can streamline it a little bit. (while we keep on updating the game monthly of course).I'm sorry but you completely missed my point.
Most of your backers/fans love small talk, etc? That's fine, I didn't ask you to remove or change them.
What I'm trying to tell is that I like both the story and the characters (I wouldn't support the game otherwise...) but the dialogues tend to be too much on the repetitive/overly descriptive side. In other words, they bore all of those who don't like to read about such arguments to death. I'm not the only one that noticed that, If I were alone in this I would just keep skipping and be done with that. But the fact there are several people here complaining about the same thing should be an important signal of what might be "wrong" in your game.
Have you considered the possibility you might have much more backers if this game hadn't such a problem? Dialogues can be a huge selling factor for games like this...
I came up with a possible solution that would get rid of such a grave, yet trivial, problem that would require very little work on your side and that wouldn't deprive in any way your game of your original vision.
At this point you can keep telling yourself everything is good, the game is perfect as it is and just ignore my suggestion. It is within your rights to do so, but would it be the best decision? I think not, for the sake of your game.
We know that some things can be done better, and I accept that.
However, this development is as much as a journey for us as a team, as it is for the characters in the game.
We learn things, we improve on things, etc.
I didn't mean my comment towards you as a negative one or with any disrespect, and I apologize if it sounded like that.
Guess I'm just a little bit tired of people saying "there is a lot of text in this game" when we mention multiple times that that is the case. (only on this site of course)
I can't promise that we'll do something that you are suggesting, but I can, and will promise that going through all the dialogue in the game, and making it more streamlined is something very high on our priority list.
You have to understand that when you put a lot of time into something like this, that you don't want people to hate on it, that's the last thing you want.
So I will do everything in my power this year to make it a little bit better, but... this will always remain a text-heavy experience.
