So I just gotta ask... call it morbid curiosity...
Is this AVN actually intended for people outside Patreon to read or is just for your Patreon customers? Am I and my fellow consumers on Itch just an afterthought?
As you say, this is an article on Patreon/Subscribestart that I just cut and pasted. I was in a rush when I did that, and yeah, I didn't take the time to edit it properly. 98 % of the informations are relevant, but yes, one or two sentences sound weird; I can see that now.
Being a dev is not easy, not trying to complain or anything, just a fact that between dealing with real life job, trying to have a normal social life, and just... you know having some rest here and there... working several hours per week on your VN can be complicated. And yes, communication is also part of the job.
Some people are thankful that I'm taking the time to work on a game and propose it for free, some other like you expect more. Perfect communication, for example. At the end, I'm doing what I can. If that's not enough for you, I can just say that I'm sorry, and that you should probably search other dev doing far better than me.
I couldn't get past this unfair treatment of you in this thread. Unfortunately, it often happens that it is the dissatisfied who actively express their own opinions. At the same time, 99% of the people in this situation would be on your side. It may be pointless to write this, because thanks to three hundred subscribers in diskord, you already know this. But unfortunately, I have seen too often how people who do great things have to spend a lot of time, nerves and inner peace on the most correct and respectful answers to such provocative questions. Much more than the one who asked them. Of course that's how the world works. But still, it causes great regret. With best wishes.
I apologize in advance for the online translation.
I think what I said was very fair.
He posted a comment without thinking about the consequences. I responded.
I also note that while you are quick to point out my 'unfairness', you did not mention how I ended that interaction.
Not obsequious enough for you?
In case you missed it I said: 'A fine response, spoken from the heart and with respect and humility. I can respect that so thank you.'
What part of that was unfair treatment or disrespectful?
