1. I consider "Novel" for one of the very TOP devs on Patreon /F95
2. I like F95 very much, because all good games I found was through F95. And the forum is superb.
3. imo F95 is very important and fruitful for developers. The more ppl watch and play a game on F95, the more ppl will like it and will support the dev on Patreon ore elsewhere. So it is all symbiotic and win-win.
Players /users have a lot of advantages: playing for free (if wanted), using the forum, and finally having contact with the devs and get responses from them (at least from many of them).
All what is needed from users is some minimal respect for the devs. Quite a little price for all that advantages.
Respect I mean in the sense of not insulting the devs, not bossing them around, and not leaking unfinished products, if he begs for this.
I just increased my patreon support for Novel. With this much of creativity the devs have, we will get a lot of fine gifts from them in future. Hope they will get the Respect they deserve.
