I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by reading my terrible Frenglish :(
( that's also a factor of jugement on games XD )
Sadly yes it is... But you can't blame the reader/player for that... If I can't understand the text, or I have to double my efforts to read it, then of course I feel it hurts the product as a whole... I'm not going to just ignore it, and give a high rating (that should be expressive of the whole product) because everything else I thought was decent... It's the developers job to work through issues like poorly interpreted translations... The worst thing a developer can do is use those auto-translator programs and websites... They don't properly interpret the intended meanings and cultural differences from one language to another... And because of the diversity of English from one location to another, interpretation becomes much more prevalent when conducting any translation into English... And none of those auto-translation thingies are up to the task... I've even seen developers who've had someone go through their text to properly interpret a translation, and still get it wrong, because they didn't get the intended feeling/meaning across properly... Perhaps they used a wrong word, or the cultural reference didn't get altered to be better understood by the target English speaking audience... So it ends up being a meaningless reference, or feels out of place in the story... I've seen stuff like that all the time...

And don't worry, even though I had to read your post multiple times, I believe I got the general meaning of what you were trying to say... :) Sadly I never got the chance to visit France while I was in the U.K.... One of my life regrets...

They were building up quite well at one point but then development went to a stand still.

On the forums I used before coming here that game was quite popular but then it just went quiet. A few of us thought it had been abandoned.
Yeah, this is the problem when I am doing the writing, programming, and art all on my own. Each episode takes a minimum of 3 months, some up to 6 (most of that due to my iterrative process, I do a lot of rewriting and such). Episode 8 is looking to be a 6-7 month episode (still better than Episode 1 which was a full on two years before it was complete). I try to be more active between episodes now so I'm not 'going dark' as much.

For me it's probably @Domiek and @TK8000

They have amazing humor in their games, are very friendly and engaging with us filthy pirates, and are pretty small when it comes to support or people mentioning them.

EDIT - I swear to god if someone mentions Slonique or Ddunfol I am going to punch you lol.. (Joke in case the mod's take me at face value)

Slonique is underrated in the other way.
Slonique make some good stuff. ( honestly, renders and stuff are pretty good, its wasted talent)

but players are the one who need Slonique support LOL

I agree^^ I'm really looking forward to the next update. It's way too early to tell how good the game will be, but as of now, the animations are as close as AAA-quality you can get from a single indie developer. It's been a year since he last pushed out an update, but he's been keeping his patrons updated with progress all along, which is why I'm still supporting him:)

its always people taste anyway.

some may find a game overrated, some may consider it not popular enougth.


you just have to make a poll... with various game with , let say, 200$/month in patreon as the max limit possible for participate in the poll.

shit tons of peoples will mention instantly the most closest game from theses 200$ limit. whatever they are good or not, whatever they are actual patrons of it or not.

its overrated all the time, people goes simple.... if it have lots of support = its great game. if it have low support = shit game.
wich is a wrong way to see things. some games have low support and are very gem. some otehrs have soo much support that you ask yourself "why did people support that ?"

its basically something that cant have standard answer. and they are no way to "counter" this. it is what it is.
i m patrons of what i like, some cool stuff, some shit stuff... i dont care. i usually rate my opinion on the game itself and the dev motivation to work on it, and the way he act/react with community.

but tssk.. whatever. if i would put out my list of my real favorites games around... i m pretty sure it would have 0.00000006% of the whole f95 community that would agree with me on the list XD. i usually dont like big games, such as WVM , deluca family and else.
i prefer small shitty games and devs, who really need support imho and would probably never seen the sun because they are burried instantly by theses big games and their hype

I can say: I mostly agree with you but man! Don't place WVM and Deluca family in one sentence :D How you can do that? This game is in quality of making 100000 away.

I think the most underrated dev is Slonique.

He is a misunderstood genius: The Michelangelo of our times.
I love his style and the freshness of his games touches my very soul, if he sold fishes, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

If you play porn games and you never played a game by Slonique, you need to delete any game you are playing right now and download one of his, you will not regret it.

Slonique is good at rendering.
But not good at all in story making. his/her stories are honestly standard and repetitive, also you can guess in advance what's gonna happen.

i think Slonique should combine with another dev, working on renders and other dev working on story. that can result on something good. maybe.
