He's not "needie" but hurt in some ways and disappointing in others. His is a vast story that cannot be told in one quick swoop. I know Pix pretty well. The guy works incredibly hard on his game and in his real job.
His is not a college teen getting every girl to fall on his cock with loli's, harem and incest galore. His is a deep entwined story in myth and fantasy.
So he's not needy just surprise to see the labor of love he has for the story and characters he's weaving doesn't warrant a huge amount of support in any great form. In my opinion TiF should've had 500 patron support by now.
First, I apologize if looked like I was insulting the Dev, wasn't my intention at all, will try to explain myself in my limited engrish hehe.
I was waiting for this update to decide if I was going to pledge for this Dev (got to tell it's the first time I invest my money on this kind of long term enjoyment so it's was kind of important for me) and it didn't dissapointed. Loved Alice exercises, well made positions and this humor that I'm really into, then the gym, knowing some of boxing, love to see how this dev put his knowledge on the things he do, those minimun details that make sure that you are not just getting bullshited, I mean, not everything is perfect (I know there must be experts haters out there who are gonna complain about some minimum stuff to discredit or feel superior) but you can see there is some investment on researching and to get facts to make things believable. For example: Alice, when I saw this game for first time it was a hard pass for me seeing this character, not really into this kind of chars, when I decided to play it (around 0.4) and got the explanations, it opened a whole world for me and I'm completely in love with her now. Welll that's because I really love broken characters (in game and in real life) looking their way to raise and improve. This is kind of the law here, broken characters trying to make the best of it (aren't we all?). Which leads me why I told what I told, the developer sometime talks with this selfpity aura in some post, completely the opposite of the characters shown, but then I read some other good answer that reassure he is a great person in RL. I think, and this is just my and only my opinion, that looking things in a more positive way leads you to better results. Those posts was kind of restraining me to go ahead but I'm confident this will be a great game.
Want to clarify I'm not wanting to change any of the story nor the developer way of doing things, everyone is their own destiny knitter, take my opinion as a constructive advice or disregard it or ignore it if you please, clearly i don't jave the absolute truth on anything. This said I'm going to talk about the game, this is what all this is for.
Engaging story, I comprehend the firsts reviews raging about the plot, people are used to more direct approachs in this kind of games, and mostly don't have patience to put piece by piece in a big puzzle, we didnt have enough pieces at the begining to get what was coming.
I love unwrapping the story, detail after detail, knowing there's something bigger to find out later. My favorites writers right now are Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, Abercrombie, R. Ford, what all those have in common? sagas-fantasy-story layers. Not comparing with those authors but I like where this is going.
PixelsLab really needs to go back and fix the grammar issues at the beggining, It gets a lot better later, kudos for that, but in order to get more pledges should take time to go back and fix those. Will try to post some of the mistakes here later, English isn't my main language (I'm not even good at it so bare me if I miss some or put something that isn't wrong, people who likes the game could just help here to put those in order).
Renders are really great, one of my top five for sure around the site , videos are good, there's room for improvement thought, sound effects and music adds a lot too. The Characters are complex and feels real with all their flaws. The MC is a "mature kid", with all his douchbagness (is that a word) but seemenly trying to do the right things, whatever his motivations are (yet to find). Got a love/hate feeling with him but kind of feel related lately.
Everything have been improving lately, I think this will be a good game, worth the pledge in my opinion
Looking forward to whats next.
Actually im copying this to a review, might help getting more people here.
Keep the good work, looking forward for the next updates
