It's just a cross promotion. Developers do it all the time. I don't believe personal feelings about the dev or their game have a lot to do with it. They simply promote each others game in hopes of picking up more patrons.
if im making game as good as this, and if im reliable as these guys are, i certainly wouldnt "cross promote" any shit (games/devs quality related), yet would chose those advertisements more carefully.
IMO there are few games with excellent artwork, good to great story, and consistent production. These are all elements that can derail a game. For example Foot of the Mountain. Eventually the Dev became worn out and closed it off with a huge cutscene. Here you have active Devs that communicate, great art IMO, an interesting storyline and sub plots, and a production schedule that other Devs should emulate. Yes I like this game. FOR the above reasons! If you want different examples PM me. Oh and Bella and Katie are good reasons also.
So if the next update cross-promotes Sex With Hitler, then we know who to blame?
We try to stay current, so waiting on "Sex with Putin: Putin it in the Pooper".
Once you "putin" you don't pull out...
No, I get that, but it's like would you cross-promote your game with something like "Quiet Man" or "Ride to Hell: Retribution?"
I get what you guys are saying and it's a valid point. i haven't played the game they were doing the cross promotion with and I probably won't. I don't pay to much attention to cross promotions. I'm sure they were just going off of number of patreon supporters more than was the game/dev any good. There is the other side of that argument though saying you are better off doing it with a lesser game/dev with a lot of supporters. This way you have a better chance of stealing their patrons then losing yours to them.
what are you referring to?
Ideas come from all sources. Ergo, I have no issue if they play other games. Some is personal some is research. Would you begrudge them reading a book if it meant they could find ideas there to use in the story. Pretty sure you would not. A VN/game is the same idea. And this team at least has a strong history of honesty and engagement with their audience. They also are pretty good at meeting their production schedule.

I don't know how often or how many games the development team for this have played. It's probably a good way to get some ideas, but you'd hope they are spending more time developing their game then playing others.
I did acknowledge it was a good way to get ideas, and didn't say they shouldn't spend anytime playing other games. However I was assuming (I'm aware very dangerous) that their own game would take priority over others. Not complaining about this game or how they spend their time in the least. It's not my business. This is one of my favorite games and I think they do a fantastic job of providing great content in a reasonable amount of time.Ideas come from all sources.

I recently gave up on A Wife and Mother. The Dev is not engaging and never meets his stated schedule. The development cycle is exceeding 2.5 years per Playable Day. There are 18 Days left. I am not going to wait 45 years for the ending. It is already 5 years old.
Just a comparison.
Don't wanna sound impatient but I'm curious as well to how it's coming along.
As I understand it March. That is what they have been saying for a while.
it's March somewhere, probably in Sidney, where's the update???
You can bet it's 5 o'clock there, all the time; that's for sure.it's March somewhere, probably in Sidney, where's the update???
