You can always just check the update progress directly on the game site, you know?That's really both sad and lol though
i know. Moreover i remember how devs hold the status 99.9% for a half of year
Jesus, two months of QA for something as dirt simple as this? The grift is real and in permanent control.
Tell me that you know absolutely nothing about game development without saying that you know absolutely nothing about game development.
120 minutes of gameplay for an update seems quite meaty.how did this game went form a master piece that update every 3 month to a trash 1 20min game play update each year
The last update was great, and was longer than 120min, of course if you don't read the stuff, you are finished quicker probably half an hour or so...how did this game went form a master piece that update every 3 month to a trash 1 20min game play update each year
The first two updates came out rather quickly, as they were significantly shorter and used some artworks that were already made before the first release. After 0.3, though, updates just got bigger and bigger, and this meant longer dev times.
And now Holly's Story, which unlike some of the others had the first quest already in place, but is still estimated to take 16 months.
The ending of the already existing quest is being entirely redone. And their work hours have been reduced after they had their second child. Could they hire more people? Financially, of course they could, but they've been crystal clear since the get go about not wanting to do so and why, so that point is moot. There's no 'insinuation' about them not being able to hire someone: they have *explicitly* stated many times that they just don't wanna face the issues that hiring people may bring to the table, and that they enjoy doing things this way so they don't wanna change their workflow just to maybe speed up the process a little.
Also, legally hiring other people when you're not a company is a bureaucratic hell in Spain, where they live. The amount of paperwork they'd have to do is staggering, and would be a huge time drain to set up.
They've said they worked on the game for about a year before releasing 0.1. They defined the main characters and their backstories, and sketched some of the stories they'd want to show in the game, then designed the base models, world maps, a few backgrounds, and so on. This process allowed them to have a buffer when they released 0.1 - in fact, their original idea was to release an even bigger version with more content, but the pandemic changed their plans, and they decided to have their game out there sooner than expected to get some feedback. This is why they were able to release 0.2 so quickly, as most of its content was already made for 0.1. Then, as you said, the buffer just vanished.
Not really. I don't think we're talking about a proper 'hiring' here, as in offering a labour contract with fixed wages, health insurance, and so on. If they simply hire a freelancer (which they already do, btw, as they did hire an sketch artist), they'd only need an invoice for those external services so that they can label them as costs in their tax bill. The thing is that they want nothing of the hassle that involving a third party *could* bring to their workflow and creative process, period. Bureocracy is not a factor.
What people should keep in mind, this game is a 'husband&wifey' kinda deal, so ANY hiring of ANY third party, would be NTR!
