Others Trials in Tainted Space [v0.9.117] [Fenoxo]

[B-52 Stratofortress]

you know, reading through this forum makes me think: "There's a bunch of people here with varied but similar tastes, all know what makes a good game, and all know how good or bad writing can be percieved. All are upset with nearly every other game that even approaches decent - for good reasons - and all are constantly hoping for the next good release, only to be let down."

so you know what, bois? imma master Oogway this shit for you.

ahem.

"When the game is not good enough, make one that is. when the game is good enough, make one even better. go make the game you wish to see in this world, be your best self, hakuna matata." - Master Oogway, maybe, at one point in his life.

I, for one, can't code for shit. I also can't speak for anyone else, but I know damn well my writing would eventually turn into inane smutty rambling, and I'd be christened as TOBs the Second. At that point I'd probably find the nearest pier, toss my PC into the ocean and move to some isolated part of the world to hide from the shame.

better than how the rest of the TiTS 'writing team' do things. if only they'd done the same

THIS. It's so pathetic how everyone and their mother use the "falling ill" excuse almost every other week, not to mention Fen making it look like he lives at the ICU considering how many times he's been """""""""""""""""""""sick"""""""""""""""""""""""".

The reason is quite simple, they have no consequences for being """sick""" There won't be a manager on their ass for missing work, nor would they also get penalized for missing deadlines by investors. The complete liberty in which crowdfunding grants you, just invites absolute sloth-like behavior and business managing. After all, why do actual work when you can just drag your feet for a decade if you are going to receive a 30k check regardless?

I can guarantee you, if their patreon got canceled tomorrow, this game would be finished in less than 3 months and the full release will be out in a storefront somewhere for like 10-20$

You could always start organizing efforts to report their Patreon; I'm sure there are materials in the game that violate ToS if you want to test your theory.

crowdfunding does not give as much liberty as you claim. unsubscribing is always a possibility. on the other hand, you can try "effective business management", if you want soulless corporate slop with a shit-ton of predatory monetization in every hole instead. sick, burnt-out people too busy dealing with their bills don't make good creators.

yeah, more likely they will just cut and censor more content like they already did back when it was still a flash game. your guarantees are about as good as american insurance policies.

Technically, you are 100% right. However, I dare you go to the Fenoxo Discord, and you will find that it's the most insufferable hugbox in existence, right next to the cavemen at DoggieBones'. They will never find a flaw in this game or how the developers are carrying it out. They will eat whatever Fenoxo throws them. Reminds me of that loser HentaiWriter and his blind followers. Some people are just willfully blind.

This is a fantasy. The reason why "Unsubscribing" doesn't work as protest is because your overall impact is negligible. Whereas you find issues, countless others do not, and due to that, unsubscribing will never be a problem once you're too big. It would be a different story if the 30k monthly were split among 5-12 individuals. As each individual departure would significantly affect the overall income of the patreon. That's why investors and shareholders hold power to influence how companies act and operate, and crowdfunders do not.

Idk how you jumped to any of that but sure whatever.
