Couldn't agree more, I used to be a fan of Summertime, but now it just takes way too long for updates to come out, especially when there's a whole team working on it, and updates used to come out much faster when it was just Darkcookie. I was honestly expecting a lot more content for those 4 months and I was honestly quite excited when I saw the "4 days of new content" but after I played it I was a bit disappointed to say the least.
Yeah, me and my friend hope that if we actually make something good our efforts go noticed. Teraurge has a ton of work put into it, bones takes kinda does but they earn 500 dollars-1400 a month. Then boner gamers somehow just makes 20k a month and takes half a year to update.
We've discussed a model to use for free to play. We've said we may demand noone posts it on f95 for a week or 2 and the full version would be made available a week after the patron release.
I love this site but while it helps games a lot if the game is going to be released after a week as a business model I dont think anyone on here should be posting it before then.
Summertime saga is the same it becomes freely available like 1 day or less after. But some guy just posts it immediately on the patron drop which I dont get.
