If you see this and haven't bought the game, Dont buy it and wait for a price drop.
Game costs wayyy too much considering how short it is, if you played casually you could probably beat it in 170 minutes with all the optional missions completed, ngl you could probably beat it in under 120 minutes with all the optional missions completed (even if its your first time playing) if you just played fast and skipped stopping your train while traveling to pick up scrap on the ground or while you're walking to a mission objective. (you dont even need to explore for scrap lying around the map anyways because how much you get from just doing optional missions) charles will probably only attack your train about 3 times in your walkthrough (not including the scripted attack at the start of the game, also im assuming hes also the end boss fight so if he is not including that too) i almost 100%ed this game in under 120 minutes and i wasn't even trying to beat the game quickly in the first 60 minutes.

If you purchase a game for the purpose of speedrunning, what do you expect will happen. . . ???

I could only read half the OP. Some basic punctuation is needed to prevent brain damage.

Why do you want to support the dev?
Because it's made by one person and he worked over a year on the game. You can watch the progress he's made on youtube.

A year is incredibly short for video game development lol, and extremely short if its one dev working on the game, so i still don't see why'd you support him.
That's fine, you don't have too.

I'm confused at what point any person can see a game like this and purchase it with high expectations. I wouldn't buy this game unless I just wanna have fun with the memes while being chased around by a spider train.

I understand this kind of approach when it comes to AAA games but we are talking about a game called "Choo-Choo Charles made by a single developer. No one should need to be warned about this because it should be common sense. Anyone who buys this game and is unhappy with it deserves the results they get.

I have a good idea of what this game is supposed to be, it doesn't look to be pretending to be something more than it is. So I don't understand how people could buy it and end up not being happy with it.

the question was why you want to

probably because we like supporting people working and following their dreams to create something. Instead of licking boots from some big dev company.

Stop being a little loser telling people to not support a single dev. $20 is nothing.

Seriously this is like your 3th thread you've been on telling people not to support this solo dev project.

What kind of loser are you? It's really pathetic.

I expected that the game would match the 20 euro price tag, also what does the game being developed by one guy have to do with anything?

How many people working on a game has a lot to do with how much content a game might have. A solo developer in a given time frame isn't likely to achieve as much as a team of developers might achieve.

It's not that hard to understand for me that when I see game called "Choo-Choo Charles" that my spider senses are going off already without even needing to know how many people worked on the game. The game actually being amazing would surprise me more than it just being a quick little meme game.

I could never purchase a game like this with expectations, it would only be for the memes of being chased by a spider train. The good news is that it seems like you want more and that isn't a bad thing and says maybe the developer is onto something and has spread into a fan base outside the meme game that it actually is.

I'm not the developer but hopefully he reads between the lines with post like this and sees that people just want more and actually like the game but want more of it. My goal would be to try to add some extra depth to the game as well as some extra replay value to keep people like you around. If the developer has made some good funding it might not be a bad idea to add some extra shine to this title before walking away.
