This is the kind of feedback that made me choose to become a game developer. As time goes by, I'll leave this world behind, I don't even care if nobody remembers me, all that matters is that I want to create something that people love wholeheartedly, that's what life is all about.
The update is very big, that's the only reason , sorry for the silence, I wasn't confident about my English, but now I'm a little bit better I want to create developer notes more often. Thanks.
I banned you because this is not the first time you have been passive-aggressive with this game, you posted that the game has been abandoned on purpose. What do you want me to do?
I delete the comments that spread false information or are being rude to me or my team.
I reported your actions with Itch.io already and now I'm only waiting for a response, there's a big difference between "abusing my power" and expecting a good treat after being aggressive, I'm not mad at you, do whatever you want, I'm worried about my community not being toxic. It's my duty as a creator to protect my game/community and the site that hosts my game, always being respectful.
Hey! Lovely channel you have there! This is the first time that I have seen a YouTube gameplay of Broken Dreams, I'm crying right now :´) I love the way you support indie devs, please keep going🤍
After one year of development, I had to make several changes to the game, one of them was writing a story more linear and interesting, the original idea was adding a bunch of events for each girl with every new update, leaving the player the possibility of exploring and rising their relationships with the girls at their own pace, and right now, I can't handle such amount of work for so many reasons, the most important one: I'm doing this game all alone, with extra help for specific tasks of course, but at the end of the day, all the work lays on my shoulders, so I had to bet for more story events in between of important events.
Now, the 0.3.1 version has the beginning of chapter 3 already, and I didn't cut any content, the only difference is that you can play the newest version being a Patreon member.
Sadly, I can not offer more payment methods right now because I don't want to risk the security and privacy of my future clients, nevertheless, if I find a good option, I'm adding it for sure.
And lastly, I can not sell the game on Itch.io. People think they are buying the full game with all future updates, and that's not true, that's why I can't offer the game here, I'm risking the game from being banned from the platform, and obviously, I don't want that.
When Broken Dreams was a prototype it was focused more on a Sandbox experience and the plan was to add events for every girl, but when the game came out, with the good reception of the story, I opted for making a good story instead of content for each girl individually, so, this is a reality that I'm trying to fix, the 0.5 is focusing on trying to fix a few of these problems and adding little by little more life to the sandbox part, if in the end, I don't like the results, I'm gonna delete the sandbox part for a while.
It's sad for me because I wanted to maintain the sandbox to add more immersion to the story and I see it end up provoking the opposite effect on the players, but of course, I'm thinking of a solution.
