Are we seriously debating the choice of an author to abandon/put on hold a game that is not that much interesting to people (no patreon subscription and lost a poll against his other work with a big margin)?
christof rauch i don't understand the intention behind your post, you are stating that you are not gonna help the author with money and saying that he lost you while you didn't give him a cent to his actual work. i mean you have every right to not help him, but he can't lose what he doesn't have.
Actually, he lost more than me. And getting a reputation like INCSTOR or SLONIQUE is going to hurt him more than anything I could say. Both Incstor AND Slonique are and were VERY well known to put out shit games, incomplete games, or quickly put together games, and then expect everyone to support such substandard work and piss-poor development.
As for your comment, I hope this answers you. I NEVER just support someone blindly at first glance at their game. And when they whine and cry over people not supporting a substandard game - and then deciding to abandon it over that crying and whining, that just tells me all they are looking for is a free fucking paycheck.
Why should I give them one when the game they are so desperate to have people pay for is STILL not even really remotely playable? Let's see: Oh, you begin ina classroom with minimal students. then you tutor then, or go to another "class", then you go to a dormatory where very little if anything happens (all of this only during the weekdays). On weekends, when you go to the dorm, you are presented with the info that it is a place-holder for scenes that will be put in at the "next update". This, of course never happens. So, substandard work, piss poor implementation, and lack of ever really advancing the game (not to mention the constant re-configuring and removal of key hints and progress indications) means that a game with great potential was ruined and trashed over "oh waaa, nobody is supporting my game, I think I'll abandon it and start 2 or 3 new games" Why the fuck would I EVER support someone like that?
