Flash Abandoned Teraurge [v2.13] [Meandraco]

[Mister_Ferret]

I like this game. I will continue to like this game. I will continue to wait for an update to this game.
And there's nothing any of you can do about it.

Should it be pointed out that no one is paying him for the game? Because the Patreon isn't about the game, but about the drawing streams he does. The game is being made entirely on his own time and work.

Actually, it sort of is.

If he manages to make 1.400$ dollars a month he will become a full-time developer in his projects. It says so in his Patreon. Teraurge is his main focus right now and the art packs he makes tend to be related to it, so it's all interconnected.

I guess if he reaches this goal you will be the first one to "forcefully subscribe" to him, just to complain that he is stealing your donated money without providing any content, I mean how else can your complaints reach him? The key word here is "IF", don't forget it. I can't still grasp the fact that you are complaining so much about a free game where there are shit-ton of others that deserve such level of criticism.

 

[Airell]

A bit off-topic here but...

The problem with that philosophy is that it forces you to remain a subscriber, even if you're not happy with the way things are. Normally, if you don't like the direction the project is going, or the way the developer does things, you unsubscribe as a way of showing your displeasure. However, the moment you do so your opinion stops being relevant because you're no longer a supporter and therefore "not allowed to complain".

You see the problem here? It's a catch 22.

Not just that, people are always shoving aside those who have any form of criticism, be it moderate* or otherwise. "You're not happy with the development? Then unsub... Oh, you just unsubed? Then your opinion no longer matters. GTFO." This means only those who are happy with the system are allowed to remain and have a say in the direction of the project.

"Yes-men" are insidious "friends". They are good for your self-esteem and moral but it will cost you long-term, when problems crop up and keep growing just because no one has the courage to set you straight, lest they hurt your feelings...


*1- While not all criticism is created equal, some people can be extremely defensive towards it all, even the constructive kind. When that happens, bitterness and toxicity usually follows suit.

If you allow me to say, I feel it doesn't depend on the supporters or what they say to you. A dev, better than anyone, knows the shortcomings of his game and his work ethic. Even if he doesn't want to accept it, deep down he knows and the best he'll do is blind himself, and surround himself with people who say everything is fine and he's doing his best, but only as a form of comfort.

If, in such a case, the financial support remains the same or increases even more, then this is the last stone left for the dev to completely forget about his deficiencies and proceed as he is.

"After all, if everyone supports it, everyone likes it... Why change?" He won't change because he doesn't want to, and because there's no reason to. It's simple and straightforward.

 

[DegenerateLord]

...and the dev has left the only place where he gave consistent updates...

Actually he's back already. He just took a (very brief) break from the discord.
Which people are allowed to, even if they're devs. Healthy even.

 

[NorthStarSteve]

Because they'd be less valuable to us if they were not so finite. Fragile are the dreams...

Naaaaw I kinda wanted my Xeno-sex game tbh

 

[Meandraco]

Yes, I'm still working on it. You can be as apathetic, irritated, anxious, elated, excited as you want, doesn't change anything.

[KorsaroKhan]

Where do you stand on release? Roadmap wise?

We stand on "Don't pull the trigger yet!! It's coming! Just calm down. Give me the gun... give me the gun..."

 

[Shtirlec_Kenny]

Can someone recommend something similar?

 

[KorsaroKhan]

Can someone recommend something similar?

Literally nothing. Why do you think we are all so depressed?

 

[Garnser]

Can someone recommend something similar?

Well if you like big dicked bimbo aliens there is always TiTs. But before you return here from it please sanitize yourself, clean your pc and disinfect your room, thanks.

You just had to go and give me hope, didn'tcha?

This has to be one of the oddest threads on this entire site. Its one of the most niche subgenre of porn with a bunch of people in-fighting for 2 years over a game no one needs. The Patreon people got their moneys worth(LOTS of art) and everyone else did not financially contribute anything. Meandraco doing it off the strength at this point because clearly a lot of people are resentful of the delays. Which I get because that was me but now its like whatever. Wouldnt be surprised if it gets finished and something fucked happens.

 

[TheOtherDragonborn]

Its one of the most niche subgenre of porn

Bingo. People really enjoy this niche and MD's art style/writing that you can't really get anywhere else.

I don't quite get the random hate, but I certainly understand the passion. That is the internet for you.

 

[Blackmars]

Dev'ing requires a certain level of communication. This is not even flame its just the truth people like transparency. People also become entitled about things they desire. Actually MD ever communicating about the game was probably to the downfall of any discourse on this site. Because people expected the early attention brought to the project the entire thing. As if thats owed to us I really dont even care no mo to be real.

Side note if I am "disappointed" in anyone its myself being so invested and like the lack of mods/similar games. I aint a creative so I pass the buck but where the Teratophilia people at?

 

[Kilosan]

As I pointed out before, most of the people here support you and are very excited about the game. Just saying. We stuck around after years because we are still interested. Lets not focus on the 2 entitled assholes out of all of us yeah?

 

[BlazeOoR]

For whatever it's worth, it's cool to hear you're still working on it.

Added note: Does anyone have a link to the discord?
