Considering this game hasn't really been getting any real updates in a long while..
Not to mention in the spam of a few months it went from 0.12 all the way to 1.0.1
The Patreon being down.
For something so simple and small in all honestly not to mention something that still seems VERY much in Alpha.
$10 is way over priced for what is basically a concept at this point.
There should be a demo for people to be able to play and to test out because the little bit of what you show off doesn't tell or help explain let alone show off what game play is about.
I seen bigger games be sold for less and to counter something you said earlier.
"Would be a shame to be paid for my work"
Yes, since at the moment it seems you are being paid for doing nothing but fighting with comments that ask for a **DEMO** Version.
you know how absolutely easy it would be to have a Demo set up right..?
Do what other developers do and simply have a earlier version like the mentined 0.12 and have that be the Demo.
You aren't showing off anything you don't already or plan on not wanting to have out there for free
And you allow yourself to have more exposure and trust from people that are able to confirm whether or not they want this game or not.
Again. 10 Dollars for something that honestly could be done in 1-2 hours.
That hardly has anything when there are games like this for free that has days worth of content..
It feels like someone trying to sell me a DLC for horse armor in Oblvion all over again.
It's a one-dev-game. But if you can do more in "1-2 hours" I'll be happy to play it.
Just a reminder though, every sprite in the game took around 2 to 6 hours to animate. There are something like 80 sprites.
And that's just speaking of the characters' visual assets.
This game is, maybe, not what you're looking for. If you expect countless hours of dull content, you should look at the big AAA games in the market. Maybe understand these games have hundred of hours of content cause they have millions of dollars to spend. Some were made over decades. I had no budget and no time sadly. Only my hard work and my passion.
So here it is. A no-budget game made by one stupid person in a couple of years. You can spit on it, insult it, shame it. It's still 10$ for you.
