First of all, thank you so much for replying! In fact, it seems like you read my mind with those answers. They're just what i hoped to read and what I needed to get people's opinion on the current state of this kinda games.

Second and before anything else i wanted to say sorry for the dev of this thread's game but, well, can't help it with the way Itch manages it's community. 

I'll copy and paste your message and I'll use it as a way to go. Your opinion it's not only that, but is the first time someone besides my own social circle to give me advice on this. Even before you knew of my existence, your first comment was splendidly helpful. 

Now, repeating my own words, I'm just starting. But after reading you i think i can finally have a path to follow. You see, I've always wanted to be a dev. Damn, my goal is to make a game that wins goty. And itch is the hub for a bunch of indie devs who don't have the resources but want to give it a try. Some succeed and some not. But i promise that i intend to make this through. 

I won't take much from your time, not want to make this thread about other game right? But as I've said, I'll save your comment and your contact info and when i have the first playable release of my game or at least teasers to give glimpses of the story, I'll probably send you a message. I don't wanna keep my words just as that, empty words. 

Again. Thank you. For me, even the slightest opinion counts and I promise I'll do my best to not turn into a greedy dev. 

Hope you have a great day and surely we'll see each other again. 

Hey, sorry for intruding. I just saw your comment and felt that hit close to home. I hope this comment doesn't get banned before you read it. 

I'm a new game creator on this site, but I've been a user of these games for years. I remember my first game being Harem Hotel and from then, dozens of them. I won't make this a long text thing, so the idea is that with every passing year i felt like these devs could do more with the money they were getting. I know coding and graphics aren't easy to do, but when you promise to give content in exchange of money you kinda enter on a obligation, but for me it always seemed like they didn't care even played with the "personal problems" card that prevents them from working on the thing that pays the bill and gives the people what they paid for. 

So, I've decided to take part into my own path of creating my own game. I'm a newbie, yes, but i have the ideas, i have the means and i have the passion. This kinda games aren't my first rodeo as you say (I'm not a native English speaker) so i know the hustle a little. 

As you can see my account was made just now. Your comment hit me and i decided to give it a try right now to contact you. Sadly itch doesn't have a dm option, so here I am. And I don't intend to make this comment a "I'm better give me your money to me" thing. Before money it is my passion for making games and that's why I'm here. You gave me a new line of thoughts that there are people who wants to feel like their money was spent for something more than a "coming next" and I want to give people that feeling. I want to make something that keeps people with me, forge a community. I want to be the kind of dev that I've been waiting for on other people. 

Thank you, if you read this. And if you have the time and the desire, I want to ask you some questions. Not here, of course. If you find a better media I'll go there, Discord, X, whatever. 

Thank you, again.
