exclusive patreon content? like, more shitty memes that no one asked for?
ValiDate - an upcoming (and unsurprisingly racist) visual novel made by SJW's, for SJW's. Currently MIA.

This is 100% a grift, these lazy cunts already got funded by their estimated requirements and now they want more. How the fuck do you take a ren'py visual novel and make it take long enough to produce that you need extra funds?

You don't under stand, they need more funding to make more race-based humour exclusively about italians.

The thought of these creatures achieving sexual release is a terrifying notion, but at least they used the correct subject for their sentence.

Even the weebs on Discord have made a Visual Novel in the time it's taken these troons to grift their way forward.

I don't get why there's no stickers of the characters themselves. Sell chibis or the bust of each character as drawn by their original artist. Or is that too much money trouble to divide it up?
Love how you can tell that Yolanda is the creator's pet. I think she's cute and nice compared to the others, but man, are any of the other artist jealous? Seems like a good way to build resentment.
At least VD can also stand for venereal disease. I'd stand VDs.
I really hope they put actual interesting content out like paintings, concept art, music downloads, etc.. But I'm pretty sure they won't.
It takes 100$ to put your game on steam. This is the price for ads on facebook and instagram (hint: under 1k$). I don't know how much you have to pay streamers or reviewers on twitch and youtube, but I'm sure they're not that much. And all they have to do to get more promotion from game sites is to walk up to them, say they're black and other POC queers and their game is about to come out, and game outlets will suck their dick with no extra cost. Basically, I'm trying to say that they can spend 5k$ or less to get the word out on their game in addition to their however many twitter army people and kickstarter backers they have. This isn't a costly endeavour comparatively speaking.
My big thought on why they'd need it is twofold: accountants for taxes for being self published and lawyers to write up contracts for employment and rights usage with each artist's character. But I am 90% sure they're just going to use it on impulse buying and maybe rent for some of them.
Man, they never heard the true romance italian speech?
I'm surprised they never bullied other races. Have they ever said anything about religion yet?
I'd like visual novels more if they included more mechanics, interactivity, or at least some animation.
I would buy a pop up choose your own adventure book. It'd probably have better art than a lot of VNs out there.
by learning with YandereDev. why?
on the icon, it looks like samus aran aiming witha pink cannon that shoots balls or something...
funny bit is them making a dating sim and making dating optional, that's like creating a shooter game where you don't shoot. a adventure game where you don't adventure, platformer without platforms.... i could go on and on and on about that retarded take. dating sim without dating is just some dumb text thingy.

Are you saying we should exclude our aro/ace friends who deserve to play dating sims even though neither really should give a fuck about them in theory? Perish the thought.

Don't worry, I hear there's a "skip" button on all dialog and choices so you can live out the aro/ace experience in a dating sim finally!

Ok, which one of us is going to shell out a monthly fee to leak those exclusive memes?
And the fanbase will think it's worth every penny.
Absofuckinglutely! This isn't a AAA masterpiece. It's a crappy ren'py VN with tumblr-tier art and writing.
They're likely to pull a YanDev and churn out terrible memes and meager updates for years to come.
Did they actually shop this around and realised no one wants to publish this racist pile? They must have been shocked that no one wanted it.
They can't bully the white guy for free. That would make them slaves.

HAHAHA how do they need more than 80k to make such a miserable game???? They really have no shame.
I'm sure they already used a shit ton of the money for themselves. Or more likely the person that made the kickstarter has used the money for themselves, it's likely most of the other devs won't see it either.

That's my thought too. For as many characters as there are everything is Yolanda as far as merch goes. Malik seems to be the fav of the person who's doing the memes though. Or hated. One or the other.

Hmmm, are you sure it's corporate parodies that caused your game to struggle?

Is this really a parody? I don't see a single hideous undateable vague brown blob ambiguously-gendered person in any of those screenshots, and the art looks professional too. It sounds like a product from an established company that actually succeeds in releasing things too. I honestly don't see any resemblance.

They mean they asked actual publishers to give them money to make their Ren'Py VN, and were laughed at.

It's from Riot.

Sounds amusing. They just had an idea that was halfway serious and ran with it. It's a spin-off of Valorant. So it already has roots in an established game. They also managed to do all this without "fuck white people" memes.
Dani just jelly.
I'll take "Big fat scam" for $500 Alex.

(new here been lurking for a while)
It's genuinely fucking baffling how they think dating sim parodies and jokes are why their game wasn't taken seriously by publishers. Surely it has nothing to do with the fact that they're trying to make a 90 hour long dating sim with 12 characters and 60 routes, with someone who has no prior experience making games as lead developer? The replies to her tweet crying about the Valorant thing were full of people whining about how "VN's aren't taken seriouslyyy" as if Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, DDLC, etc. don't exist and aren't widely liked and critically acclaimed; maybe it has more to do with your game being fucking impossible to take seriously with its SJW ass name, Steven Universe font, and retarded character design. Not to mention, the Valorant thing ended up not even being a joke, they're releasing an actual expansion, so I really don't get how that "undermines the VN genre".
Dating simulators are an inherently fun and lighthearted genre (unless its something like DDLC I guess), and they filled this shit with dated and terrible memes, so I cannot wrap my head around why they're mad their joke game is being treated like a joke.
And kind of unrelated, but does anyone else feel like the devs are much more concerned with creating a fandom around their game... than the actual game? The constant "memes" that are just characters pasted over tumblr posts... Them having put aside a "merch budget" for a game that isnt out yet ( who does that??? pay your fucking staff first)... and the damn "stan validate/yolanda" stickers.

Oh yeah, definitely. It feels like they're spending their time building up the "fandom culture" for their game. Rate me
, but it feels like they're already making woobified characterizations of the characters with their shitty mobile game ad-tier memes and general treatment of their characters.This genuinely baffles me. I sat here for an hour trying to figure out how a silly but seemingly well-crafted VN of a multiplayer FPS game led to "and this is why muh vidya game is not taken seriously" talk. The Valorant dating sim does not resemble Validate in any way whatsoever. It doesn't even parody SJW stereotypes. What, is it because of the funny haha meme dialogue in the screenshots? Validate didn't invent shitty humor, Dani.
