I simply saw someone proclaimed that he could make a game of same caliber within one week and as any normal human being, I asked him/her to do it instead of yapping to prove his point, that's all.
Is it that bad that I wanted someone to make a free game for me to play on a pirate site?
Oh my god, you are so cute with this sarcasm. This "pirate" site is main promotion platform for lewd devs, you know? Yes, you know.
What caliber you mean? You call THIS caliber? Once again, this is a game on ready-made assets on a ready-made engine, with simple mechanics, with static art and very simply animated sex scenes in one angle, even without orgasm animations. Siren just has a good taste in putting it all together so that everything looks coherent.
You are using boring, funny tactics to shame me. I point out the problem, you shift the problem to me. At the same time, I say that there are other developers who do their job honestly and please us with the result. The problem is that you and many others live in a world of illusions, thinking that some developers are trying very hard and they need to throw even more money at them, as if this will affect the result.
I did not say that I plan to make my own game, but I understand technology well enough thanks to my main job and can confidently say what is ridiculously easy to do and what is difficult to do. When with the improvement of development tools, the increase of your experience over the years of work and the growth of your fan base your speed of work only slows down, and the quality stands still, then it is worth thinking about.
Thanks to Siren and ScarlettAnn for what they do, but they managed to hook everyone because of nice art and a good idea (hello Nergal). Everyone has developed an addiction. At the same time, they always keep their audience in a state of lack of content and do not strive to involve more people in development. He does not want to make a game, he wants to stretch out the process and turn it into a stable inflow of funds with a minimum of effort. Without providing the audience with enough content.
What will happen to the game in future? We will still get 1-2 simple scenes every few months. The already small efforts in development will be eaten up by unnecessary events tied to holidays - Halloween, Christmas, etc. More and more new girls will be introduced, and relationships with the current ones will stagnate. We won't have normal long satisfying scenes with several girls at once, as there were none in any Siren game before. The plot will stand still for as long as possible, and then end very quickly when Siren wants to start another new game. etc. Nothing will change for the better, you will not get what you want.
Another good example - NLT, that's where the development progress is obvious. Here's whose skills, quality of work, and amount of content grow over time.
