I mean when you look at how the game is delivered, it's not actually that crazy at all.

Consider you are a $20 patron. You pay that much to get access to the latest build of the game the second it comes out. You like the game and are happy with the content. You sign in with your Patreon account and all is good.

Now let's say next month you run into financial difficulties, and you have to pause or delete your pledge. You decide to log back in to play the old content you didn't get to... even if you'll have to wait for the new stuff. Well, suddenly you can't. With BB, if you stopped pledging you at least always had the last version you downloaded. Here, public releases might be up to two months or more behind the latest release, and they will have less content to boot.

Or another example, let's say you subscribed via his website to have access to the taboo subject matter. And again, you stop supporting him there, does all that content gets cut off? None of this is guaranteed to happen, but it does seem pretty likely considering how these accounts will have to work.
I'm pretty sure he said you can keep playing the version you pledged for though, so that's why I didn't understand that argument.

If DS is looking for another platform to create his incestual games, maybe this is the place he'd be looking for?



[EDIT] So this topic doesn't get derailed, there is a discussion about this website in another thread. Go here to see what has been discussed thus far:

I asked Dark Silver on discord

@dark Silver Some people on f95 wonder why there's just images with no one in them, could you release images with people in them (like the locker room image, it's kind of boring just seeing an empty room)?

@kasnasdude because renders with character will require much more unnecessary work

Can you ask him what is the meaning of life?

That's got to be some of the weirdest logic I've ever read.
Renders with characters is unnecessary? In a game that's visually appealing? Um... What?
Unless everything is pre-rendered, this makes no sense.

I think it's beacause the game now doesn't use complete scenes. Now it's just a background layer under the character layer. But still he can give us ingame screenshots.

I don't think I'll be following this game. BB was fun if you could deal with the grind, or alleviate it with cheats, but this one requires too much of a sense of disbelief to get into.
I can deal with the low content and missing functionality, as this is a version 0.1 concept demo.
I can deal with the always online requirement, despite my currently spotty internet, though if the free content is more then a month behind the paid, it'll quickly become a deal-breaker.
What I can't deal with is the Contract, and the utter stupidity of those involved with it. I can't believe that anyone, even our shy, sheltered, naive MC Kate, could be dumb enough to sign it. I can't believe that worldly older sister Julia missed the warning banners (with accompanying marching band singing 'protect your sister and GTFO') and let Kate sign. And I can't believe that the Principal thinks it is in any way legally enforceable.

Imagine what would happen if a rule like 'Student nudity is now mandatory', with the punishment of 'losing one point from a student's grades per article of clothing they are caught wearing', was voted in and got tweeted about on social media. Anti-nudism groups would descend in droves, naturist groups would likely join in (as most of them are about choosing to bare all rather then being forced into it), sexual harassment charges would likely be laid, students picked up for indecent exposure... Can't see the 'experimental college' surviving the storm. And that's for something 'relatively' tame compared to what the faculty could ask for.

Server-side saves?
WTF. Not as bad as DRM, but very bad indeed.

Sure, I understand he is against people cheating and more for people grinding the hell out. Shouldn't it be our freaking choice? Why do I have to play the way he wants me to play?
What if his server gets fried? Would I lose all my saves?
What if I want to trade saves here or elsewhere, like all those saying "save for the last build please?"

Its not just the save are kept server-side it is also this:

Basic components (server-side).

Basic NPC behavior logic (server-side).

So part of the game also will be server-side and there will never be free content release of this game.
You will have to keep paying every month to play this game.

And if the truth hurts to see I can not help it, the truth is the truth.

I'm not going to bash you or question your logic. If you can't get into the story and enjoy the game. I believe you and I respect your position. I just want to warn you though, in RL, pizza delivery guys and pool cleaners don't get nearly all the pussy that porn shows you!

The faster this game ends, the better it'll be. So he can move on to an another project less boring than this game and maybe the revival of BB.
