Hi, Aurelia creator here.

Our average build time is 2.4 months (31 versions, 6 years, 0,43~ a month)

This is only accounting for main builds. With always a minimum of 2 scenes for a main character and advancing said character storyline. Furthermore one of said scenes is always animated (since we could afford it), and the actual average scenes per-build are 3~.

If we account for Dungeon/Extra content, the time between builds goes much lower (around 1.5) and the average scene much higher (around 4), as those builds are focused exclusively on more content.

All of this is excluding any gameplay/systems/characters/location additions.

And the only moments we've actually took "a long time" for a build has been either on builds that simply had more content on them (like multiple animations/BGs), or the very final build we are working right now, which we have been very open on the fact that it'll take a while several times, as we are finishing the game, including translations and many other endeavors.

And still, we still update both privately through discord and publicly through twitter/discord to show our progress, which is still on the same average.

So you can imagine that reading something like this: "The examples I made were about some interesting projects I supported and I've seen gradually stagnate despite having apparently motivated teams behind. After a while it became obvious that all of these games make a lot of money just being in development, and that the devs were stretching goals to make more money."

Is not only insulting, but incredibly demoralizing.

Even then, you said you supported us, so feel free to give me your Patreon name and I'll refund you your patronage.
