noted that's why I stopped giving them money. If they don't want to focus on the game, I like over the five other ones that I could care less about that's fine. But I'm not going to vote for that with my money.
I never thought I was owed anything physical either, but if someone supports your work perhaps you should listen to what they like? Otherwise, who are you making it for? yourself?
💯fair, at the end of the day it is your money and your choice. If you are unhappy with the games direction that is when you vote with your wallet as you say.
Though first and foremost I do hope Kal is making games for himself. A sign of a good game or any content is when it is made with love and passion, from their own drive and creativity. Yes, fellowship and monetisation is required to establish a good product. Though all the best indie projects are made from a single vision e.g. Fez, Braid, Super Meat Boy, Summertime Saga... These games find their following and they are locked in for the journey.
Feedback is slowly improving, mainly thanks to Dr.Muramasa. Though I will admit communication is still a massive weakness and as a Patreon I would expect monthly updates, deep dives, overviews, demos and just general nerd out sessions on cool technologies they have been working with. I do not buy the whole Kal saying "NSFW games have a hard time" the porn industry is what elevates the internet and social media is a bottomless pit of new opportunities. I am hoping their next project is lead with a winning mentality.
I don't think its possible to be entirely independent or dependent on others emotionally mentally etc. just like its not possible to make art entirely for yourself or entirely for others. Anything and everything someone does is both for themselves and someone else.
At the end of the day they have the veto to say "hey f off im doing something important" but and ill be brutally honest if they dont respond when people say "hey this is cool i want to support this please put more effort into it" then they deserve to not make money or find fame.
