You're comparing 1 dev who does everything by hand vs another dev who uses pre-made 3D models with a few color swaps and who has 2-3 PCs running 24/7 rendering stuff. Of course 1 will be able to output releases faster than the other, irrelevant of incomeTo be honest you even cannot compare MagicNuts to massive devs like DarkCookie or NLT. I'll use NLT as an example.
So NLT took almost 2 years to finish Treasure of Nadia and each update was by default 2% progress. NLT media has 15000+ patrons (+-13000 in the beginning of the year), the minimum monthly amount to be NLT patron is 2 USD (lowest rank called "Casual"). So if we assume all of the patrons are Casual ranks, then he generates 30 000+ income a month and this is a minimum because in reality it is way more since not all of his patrons are Casuals/2USD-payers. There are patrons who pay more like 8 or even 20 a month. DarkCookie earns even more: a whopping 75 000 USD each month!
Now compare this to the smaller 8 500 EUR that MagicNuts gets per month while still giving us a 10% progress each update (assuming v1.0 is finale). On top of that notice that the updates take 5-6 months (except this one took longer) for 10% story progression, so if MagicNuts would release per month it would be roughly 2% progression and that is not that far away from the 4% that NLT Media, with a much bigger budget, gives every month.
So if you look at everything together MagicNuts is actually putting out a lot of work and, when it comes to performance, on par with the bigger devs like NLT or Darkcookie even with the difference in popularity or donors etc.
On another note:
1. As what milking is concerned, I think every dev does this even if a little bit. I mean, why not lol. As long as you're consistent I personally do not care.
2. Every single time the update release date for WaL gets close, people here start bitching about the time it took/the delay/testing period etc., and it gets on my nerves for the same reasons I wrote above. Dude is working fine and definitely not slow. Even if, I would rather have a working big update instead of a small update consisting of 30 minutes playtime with bugs and little-to-none spicy content.
I think you're actually both saying the same thing.You're comparing 1 dev who does everything by hand vs another dev who uses pre-made 3D models with a few color swaps and who has 2-3 PCs running 24/7 rendering stuff. Of course 1 will be able to output releases faster than the other, irrelevant of income
Maybe, mine took 2 lines, he took a page. I winI think you're actually both saying the same thing.
Read the first line, he said "you cannot even compare them".
He's then showing why the comparison is invalid.
As are you.![]()
Nah, the tiers that get it early only get it 24 hours early. It's currently still only in MagicNuts' hands as they do the last round of repeatedly testing every quest with many different save files to make sure there's no meltdowns. They're planning on sending it off to external testers Wednesday and, if all goes well, the patrons who do get it early get it by Saturday, with the public getting it Sunday the 31st.Those guys on patreon who paid $6 $12 are probably playing the game right now.
Poggers, no way, really?0.6 is rose which releas in few days 0.7 is orc
noguys stop acting like it's the cure to cancer
its just a porn game, please chill
I'm waiting as well, but MagicNuts can take as long as he wants, he doesnt owe us anything
I'm not a Patron of him so I don't feel like I'm in any position to complain.
I know Holly's a tsundere trope and all, but c'mon, she should not be disarmed and made all flustered just by ~xXx420DaRkEsTaR69xXx~ calling her pretty.

I just don't like the tsundere trope in general, it's super unbelievable to me for an LI to go from beating up the MC one minute and then being all "IT'S NOT LIKE I LIKE YOU OR ANYTHING" the next. And when a woman responds to my interest by physically attacking me, I move on and leave her alone. And on a purely physical level, her hair and freckles are cute and all, but she's too young and too skinny. Sorry Holly fans, but she's second worst girl in this game, after Anna.
Nice as that would be, it would mean the usurper lord's daughter didn't, and we can't have that.Let's hope she [Gretta] win the next poll.
Either you heavily misunderstand that meme or I am too dumb to get it in that context, which is also a very real possibility.
When update?Which are fun in and of themselves because that is the actual maximum height of expression that some posters here are capable of.
