RPGM Symphony of the Serpent [v.19021] [NLT Media]

Really? Any idea how much ToN sold on steam? I don't use steam, so I don't know these things. All I've heard is most small-time developers lose money if not for patreon. Did I hear wrong? lol

It cost around $100 upfront to upload your game on steam. After 50-100 sales you get that back. Steam then takes a 30% cut on all sale plus a transaction fee which is around 5%

A quick Google of sale records will show you how much he's made from steam alone.

Is it me or was that update something like five minutes long? I might as well wait a year or two at the speed the game is progressing at.

If you hold the space bar and skip the reading yes. But if you're doing that what's the point of playing

This is based on the trailer. The main storyline should end in eight months.

Basing a games progression on a trailer vs the completion % is wildly weird and makes zero sense

Picked this up a month ago, so I just got through my first cycle of updates. I assume the pattern is start of the month = story update, middle of month = side content?

I was annoyed at first, but honestly the story content, especially this early in the game, and the side content are each higher quality than the prior games, so I can't complain too much. Sadly, the same issue as always happened: I put off playing the game, but then I also jumped in too soon. Probably going to table this for a few months to get a decent chunk of content updated before I grab it again.

I'm just glad this game (and genesis order) got us some fucking relatively early along with the girls that are clearly going to be on a much slower burn as opposed to the first couple games where everything was a slow burn

You have zero clue on how NLT game release version numbers work, do you?

The first 2 digits of the release number is literally the completion percentage.

Even if NLT jumps to 3% with each release (extremely unlikely), 8 months x 2 releases per month x 3% each = another 48%. Add the 19% we are already at, we arrive at 67%. Granted, the main story usually ends a bit before 100%, but never that early. Typically it's at the 80-90% range.

If we go with the more realistic scenario of averaging 2% with each release going forward, and adjust for an early main story ending at, let's say, around 80% like the last game TGO, it would take another 15 months (15 months x 2 releases per month x 2% each = 60% + existing 19% = 79%) to get there.

yes, twice a month like clockwork
