Now that's a dangerous line of thinking. You gotta remember, humans are not assembly machines. Nobody can make art at a rate of more than 1.5 drawings per day, while maintaining that level of quality, and specificity of use case.Daaaaaaang!
You just posted the second most interesting thing in this thread! (Xupuzulla still with the most eyeopening one)
First time the dev can be seen at work + moving brushes + time needed!!!! Wow!
That means one simple thing: Now it´s easy to calculate how much time was spent on the paintings in the update, one can easy interpolate how many paintings were made per week in the i guess 2 years till this update comes out.
If you slow the video down by the factor 8 then normal working speed shows up, easy to see when moving the brush and choosing in menus etc. That means that painting was finished in about 2 hours! While i think a talented painter with a vision, experience and determination could finish it easily in about 30-45 minutes, this is not the point here. If the dev works like that (and didn´t slow it down on purpose) its fair to count with 2 hours per painting.
Meaning if the dev was honest that they´re working full time on it, then that should amount to around 80-100 unique paintings per months --- emphasis on UNIQUE, not like just moved the hand position a little bit on the next painting where most of the background, body position etc. is the same or used some copy/paste tricks from another painting.
So no matter what you think of the dev, an honest judgement of their work ethic can be made once the update is out.
It wont be me, but somebody will count the unique paintings and then we´ll know if the dev was honest or if he was misleading people.
Well anyways, as i said, very interesting video, finally something with substance. Thumbs up from me.
Edit:
Ooops, i just saw Art is clocked at 310, hmmmmm......... judging by that my former assessment that an update should take 3-4 months was a very good guess!![]()
How did they do it on the initial updates then?Now that's a dangerous line of thinking. You gotta remember, humans are not assembly machines. Nobody can make art at a rate of more than 1.5 drawings per day, while maintaining that level of quality, and specificity of use case.
He only keeps the money of those who want him to keep their money.... Oh wait, apparently he is disgusted by his own work and that's why he doesn't wanna work fast... but he'll keep getting your money!
My goal isn't to defend the devs, I know they're taking almost double of what can be considered a reasonable time. But at the same time, your initial calculation was goofy. You can make a point about the devs slacking off without making up imaginary skilled artists who churn out 80 fully rendered artworks in a monthHow did they do it on the initial updates then?
But whatever, ok, lets continue my dangerous thinking, shall we?
Lets not count with your 1.5 drawings a day. Lets count even lower at just 1 drawing a day, still should have been finished in 10 months max. with the 310 Art pieces.
And don´t forget as its very important: the devs claim they´re working "full time" on it. With "Full time" they should have clarified that it means working for 2 hours not every day but every second day - that´s their effective output.
Hehehe, come on man........, if you don´t have your judgement clouded, it´s pretty clear what´s happening here.
There´s no need to sugarcoat it.
This dev was working effectively max 1 hour a day on the Art, despite giving the impression that he works full time on it.My goal isn't to defend the devs, I know they're taking almost double of what can be considered a reasonable time. But at the same time, your initial calculation was goofy.

No its not.Few months for 2% of the update. If this is not a scam...
Oh hell naw
I see you cannot forget it, and still protect people who changes rules and update dates. I really don`t understand why another opinion for you cynical. Also, idk what is your benefit protect it? If creator makes REAL content, he will continue make REAL content.It may also be one of the first documented cases of reverse psychology applied to scamming... Every time someone in discord says they hope to play the update soon, the dev comes out and says the update will take more time and asks to rein in expectations. Instead of going radio-silence for weeks or claiming 'the update is around the corner', they post a daily chart that you're free to believe or not, but that explicitly says to anyone with half a functional brain that things are moving slowly. Do you think any potential supporter would chip in just now, having that info? I wouldn't do it. Don't you think a few current supporters choose to stop pledging everytime a message like this comes out? If I were a supporter, I wouldn't be exactly thrilled by it. Devs have lost around 20% of monthly income since the last update's peak, and understandably so, yet the smartasses here keep yelling 'scam' into the pirate void. Oh, well, after reading yesterday that devs might be tax evaders too 'because you gotta have critical thinking', I guess everything is possible.
Look. The same right you have to openly criticize devs who don't work according to your standards, I have it to defend them if I consider they aren't doing the things you claim they are doing. I'd also like other devs to be earning way more money than they are getting, and that's why I try to help them by translating the games I like (check the thread in my signature and, apart from WaL and CoBD, you'll find some criminally underrated and underfinanced games), but you won't see me in other succesful games' threads accusing their developers of some wrongdoing without any other proof than some half-assed assumptions -which is all we are seeing here from 'your' side. Of course I'm going to call out that kind of shitty behavior, as harshly as I see fit. Take a look at some users' posting history, they basically only post in here. That's not honest.I see you cannot forget it, and still protect people who changes rules and update dates. I really don`t understand why another opinion for you cynical. Also, idk what is your benefit protect it? If creator makes REAL content, he will continue make REAL content.
About pirates "void". Pirates "void" have freedom speak and have open mind, on discord server, i am sure, you will ban every person like me, that begin think different and stop be adept that believe his creators.
I am write here this, because i see many good creators, good guys, аor example whom working with 2 works (main and 18+ game develop), or creator that earn 200-300$/per month, and they didn`t complain. They can make really GREAT content, but haven`t support. And also i see game with good budget, without dedline, strange news, changes rules, still looooong working, "support" accounts that protect it. And they don`t stop take money from patrons. Of course it is weird.
Also, when someone ask you something different from your opinion, you just say "half a functional brain" and "Cynical thinking". This is not seriously.
About not pay taxes: 1) Open Interpol website 2) click search 3) write "Spain" there 4) Profit. Watch and you will undertand how much crimes are there, financial too. Who are make a crime? Aliens? And this is civil Evrope. It is for exemle. Stop believe what all people are the Saints.

Sooooo... as long as the numbers increase, that 2% can require months, if not years? The final 2% can take longer than the initial 90%.No its not.
Numbers go e.g. from 1047 / 1062 (98.6%)
to 1050 / 1064 (98.7%)
This means they find new things to do, while the % do not move much.
I was joking. A guy said this update was taking so long because the dev is disgusted by the idea of feeding his children with money acquired thanks to porn.He is disgusted with his work?
does this mean he hates the game or he hates the code?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
