That's fine. But you also have to take a look at the other side of the coin.We can discuss this if you like - there's a lot of dynamite in there
a) If I seem upset, dissatisfied or even angry here, it's not so much because of general dissatisfaction but frustration, disappointment. I had gotten into the game very late and had really fallen in love with the ideas, characters and story and was so excited to see what would happen next. And then? Nothing more...
b) To deal with ONE SINGLE unfinished game doesn't affect me in any way
c) Unfortunately it has become the "standard": Unfinished, canceled, forgotten, whatever games are now almost a dime a dozen. It's a shame....
d) In the almost infinite amount of games, there are very few good and original games. Unfortunately, this does not apply to the majority. (Incomplete, hardly any contact with developers, no response to ideas, error messages, etc.). But all the authors of these games (and here I am explicitly NOT addressing you) seem to think they are miracle programmers and gifted game authors, whose primary goal is to ask for money on Patreon first, before you get even a single info about the game...
e) Because of my age I have a lot of time and little money. That's why I use the small contribution I spend on the game very precisely. (You learn too:
These are currently only games that have been regularly developed for over 18 months and it is also foreseeable that the developers are full of conviction behind this, their only baby.
f) I don't watch much TV, but many series. Via streaming portals. This is the very first time I have experienced this annoying topic: Maybe someone still knows "Kyle XY"? Was discontinued in the middle of the third season after the midseason break. Meanwhile: If a series isn't set up for only one season from the start, I don't watch it until there are at least two seasons complete.
g) I also like to read and of course have the disappointment of "Game of Thrones" or the Stieg Larson series behind me. But just because there are unpleasant examples in literature, movies and series, I don't have to think it's great when a great game is discontinued?
As much fun as it is to create VN's, it's also a LOT of work and expensive.
As a dev sometimes you have to realize that the game just isn't worth the candle.
Pun intended.
And on top of everything else, the Prof is now what? 4? 5 years old?
The graphics and animations are VERY dated, I could do so much better now.
So - regretfully - the time has come to move on to other projects.
Glad you enjoyed it, and you should try out A FATHER'S SINS. It's a VERY different kind of game, you make like it.
What the hell, you can download it here for FREE.
