Development Update 57
Guys.
Do you need to be a member to view my public Patreon-Posts?
Someone recently shared a post of another dev which talked about something interesting, but when I clicked on it, Patreon didn't let me view it unless I became a member of this guy's Patreon.
Okay, fine. I became a member. I wanted to read this post.
And ever since I receive E-Mail notifications for a game/channel that I couldn't give two shits about.
What did I do? I opened Patreon. I thought I unckhecked all the notifications. A week later... Another E-Mail. I'm kind of pissed at that point. I like it when things are simple. So I decide, fuck it, I'm going to unfollow this creator.
Why does it take me 3 minutes to find a button with which I can unfollow said creator, skillfully avoiding the dozens of buttons allowing me to "upgrade" my membership? Yeah I know that this shit works. It also works at annoying the living fuck out of people. I once was interested in a service, opened up their website, and nowhere on that website did it say how much the subscription service actually cost me. All I could do was sign up for a 14 day free trial, at the end of which they might have been so kind as to tell me how much it would cost me to continue their service.
Idk, if they would have told me at that point, because I was so disgusted by their buisness practice, I didn't even sign up for the 14 day free trial.
^^ Okay, maybe I wouldn't be as annoyed if your answer to my innitial question ends up being "No, of course we can view your public posts, even without creating an account and becoming a member."
Otherwise fuck Patreon. What is this shit? Are they really so down bad that they have to optimize the living daylight out of everything? Come and sell your posts. Become a member. Receive E-Mail notifications. Upgrade your membership. Have you heard that you can buy posts now?
God, I'm as capitalist as people come, and even I all of a sudden think it's wonderful that you need to put a link at the bottom of E-Mails that makes it easy to unsubscibe from certain unwanted newsletters.
Yeah, well... Let's shift the mood a little. Look at the image that comes along with this post. Hot, right? Well, if you didn't know any better you might think I've desinged episode 7.5 of A Foreign World specifically so I can practice creating renders where girls bite on their lips.
Anyway, that's enough about the game. The update will come out in two weeks. Give or take a week, depending on translators and beta-testers. Also Americans should capitalize their Nouns.
Now keep your Eyes open for future Updates.
Until then. Enjoy!

Hi. Since I have paid for your game on steam I am only a free member and I can see this post. Don’t know about those without an account though and strangely I have only just now been able to see it 6 days after publication. But I have encountered the notification problem. I have already tried multiple times to unsubscribe to mail notifications. Don’t get discouraged we will prevail :p
Thank you for buying my game. Maybe to clear up some confusion, people subscribed to my Patreon get to read Development Updates 7 days early. Basically you saw it the day it was opened to the public.
I feel your pain. Unsubscribing from anything is a pain and it often takes over a month and multiple attempts. Even then, months later you will suddenly receive an unwanted notification. They do NOT delete your information. Getting anyone to delete you completely once they have your information, is pretty much impossible. Believe it or not, Patreon used to be worse! Still, finding anything on Patreon is ridiculously difficult (and I am on 35). A hell of my own making. If you found something in three minutes, you are doing better than most. If you come up with a better way to support you, I would LOVE to hear it. Love the render by the way 🙂.
I'm looking forward to seeing this update. By the way, if you need a Portuguese translator, I'll do the translation anyway so you can play.
