This is one of the reasons why Patreon is for fools!

I want to put this in perspective for everyone. I was involved in the Early Access for Baldurs Gate 3. I paid about $50 AUD for that. AUD not USD., thats like $30-40 USD.

This guy wants $50 USD for one release of an incomplete game! It'll just get worse from here! Are you gonna pay $50 every release? $20? $10?

Even for a full year of early access $50 is too much! I mean this Dev took 10 months to complete this release. You would get 1 release for $50! That is unless things drastically improve.

Personally I am gonna wait, buy the game when its down to $10 USD and if I dont like it, if I dont think its worth the 10 months of Dev time added to the high price tag... I will be out and I will not be supporting anything from RebootLove again!

do you not know how itch works or how this creator functions?

I know a bit, yes. I have been using Itch for about 2 years now, I dont remember how much of that has been spent following RebootLove but it has been over a year I think.

I checked and I posted on Genex Love Part 1 about 8 months ago. So I have followed him at least that long.

I think that's enough time to at least observe obvious patterns of behavior.

I've watched how this creator functions with the releases, it'll drop $5 every week but those who bought it previously have been locked out. More power to him if it is sustainable for him, but like this guy mentioned while the game is solid albeit full of grammar and spelling errors, it's not worth the hike while other creators are releasing more for less

No one is required or pressured to pay or play. I’m just a developer aiming to create an enjoyable game experience, but this is also my primary source of income for myself and my family of five. I understand that even $10 can feel like a lot for an indie game, but this approach is the best I’ve found to make it work for everyone. The game will be free eventually, so there’s no need to pay now unless you’d like early access.

Just to clarify, the early access offer includes a year of updates or at least 3 updates, whichever takes longer. So, if 3 updates happen to take 3 years, your access will last those 3 years. As I’ve mentioned before, this update took 10 months since it involved coding a new game in many aspects and porting elements from the previous one. Additionally, I also updated RBL2 during that time, which was nearly 3 months of work.

Even splitting the cost over 3 updates, its still too much money. I think $5 -$10 is fair.

As far as the 'It took 10 months since it involved coding...' statement goes, I saw how long it took to update RBL2, it wasn't 3 months. It may have been 3 months work but it was more like 12 before it hit Itch. I can go check right now if you like.

Also if you wanna prove that you can get new content releases out swiftly, do it. Prove it.

I'll eat my words if you provide a content release within 6 months, same quality and amount of content as this one, while also maintaining your work on RBL2.

I apologize if I gave the wrong impression; I’m not here to prove anything to anyone. I just wanted to clarify the details. The next Genex update will be ready when it's done—hopefully within 2024, but if not, early 2025—with plenty of new content for players to enjoy.

Cool. Then lets drop the topic and move on.
