No wallet and alternative payment methods.
The moron owner needs to hire someone to handle tickets of he wants to bring some actual developers. Pandering to BLM mob won't help with anything.
turns out "being ambitious" doesn't actually cut it for video game development and people that think it does think AAA development with hundreds of people aren't sweatshop conditions
how annoying is it to do a full coop run with someone without the mod? My friend still hasn't finished his solo playthrough so the dlc will likely be out by the time we'll finally play ER together

Just not being able to use horses would make coop awful to me.
just as I feared, if nobody will pick up the mod I guess we'll just casually do some bosses in ng+ then
>full coop run
Literally not a thing in the base game
we made it work with DS3, but with ER's massive open world sections (where I guess you can't have a summon) the experience would indeed be heavily castrated

Why does this happen to indie devs so often? Is gamedev cursed?
I think its 100% the latter. I can't sympathize with any creator these days because they need to beg and plead for money to get literally anything done. Feels like creators in the early days of internet at worst did everything via some kind of website sponsor but every other time just made a shitton of things because they thought it was fun. Now that everyone has an endless supply of shitty content, even people who used to like to create just want to mindlessly consoom instead of using that free time to enjoy creating. (Not that anything in their numb addled brain has anything worthwhile to engage in anymore)
If people actually cared about the shit they make, they would keep making it regardless of anything. So every5jing is just an excuse to be involved in their shitty hobbies and not get an actual job, and instead do the bare minimum for clout and leave before any effort exists. Crowd funding and hustle culture in art was a fricking mistake.

Compared to other games where you play as an animal (Stray, Spirit of the North) this would've been a fun game but the dev got too...I don't know what. He should just sell the game to another studio and let them complete it if he doesn't want to.
What's your point?
>I cancelled my project due to me being shit at it
no refunds
I cancelled my project because gamers are subhuman vermin and videogames were a mistake.
hey it's the Fez dev
>i made a shit thread
itch.io and patreon were a mistake.
>Spends more time making convoluted ways to stop patreon leaks than actually developing what people are paying them for
What did itch.io do wrong?
90% of what you can find there is either in development hell or cancelled.
No wallet and alternative payment methods.

>itch.io
that shit is filled with nothing but homosexual VNs and shitty """horror""" games
turns out "being ambitious" doesn't actually cut it for video game development and people that think it does think AAA development with hundreds of people aren't sweatshop conditions
hey I've seen that movie
>"I'm a homosexual" -OP
You WILL get invaded in Shadow of the Erdtree.
im sure reddit is banding together to make a new fork of the heckin wholesome coop mod as we speak
He never shared sourcefiles, so good luck with that
But it's really a dick move to not make mod FOSS if he can't work on it anyway
qrd?

Game was never intended to be a full coop game anyway. There should be specific coop enemies that spawn and humble you and your “party”
>"I canceled my project due to THE SUN telling me to do it"
She actually finished the game though, she overcame the will of the Sun. She puts soidevs everywhere to shame.
My "personal" "issue" with the project was I personally stopped giving a shit about it.

that's something I'll kill myself before doing
