Re: RJ113419 - Dungeons and Prisoners
Because Hitler committed genocide it should be ok if I kill just a dozen or so. That's how you sound right now.
There being worse alternatives does not under any circumstance make it a good thing.
That's a super leap of logic, what he said was more like "look at this product; took 2 years and the quality of the creators previous work was good enough that the wait for the new game seemed reasonable". Scalegardens games are venerated throughout the forums because of their quality, regardless of the time spent in development. Dungeons and Prisoners has the same potential, and has been in development for less time so far and will be released in less time to boot.
As for business sense, look at Egosoft's recent release of X:Rebirth. It was
rushed. Horrible, but the basic gameplay was there under the bugs. People demanded refunds in droves and patching is still going and will for quite awhile. They did almost exactly like you stated. If ILL decided to do that and the whiplash caused him to not turn a profit, this game could never be released in a finished state and we'd never see anymore of his beautiful art. That would be a tragedy for all H-gamer kind. Better to be up to a perfectionist's sense of perfect, even if it took more time, then to be rushed and cleaned up after. And besides, ILL doesn't
have to rush as he's the only creator and doesn't have to worry about paying dev teams to help before the start-up money ran out. And another thing, veteran H-gamers are a pretty patient bunch, ILL doesn't have to rush for nobody because most of us are willing to wait.
And as for worse alternatives, look at car crashes or something. You could lose the car, but with the worse alternative being death, I'd say there being worse alternatives is definitely good under those circumstances. Unless you were still talking about Hitler, but why the hell would you go straight to Hitler in a forum debate
in a forum for hentai?
