while the art is great, Vel should stop making games, just hire people/create a dev team to make the games from his concepts or make art commissions for others game devs, because bait'n'switchin people will come biting them in the ass sooner or later.

if this rule is real then it's crazy. you have a dev with a history of fucking up a few releases down the line, and they publish a game in the exact same pattern of decent start + decent art + a scale and format that already has caused them issues in the past. how do we just ignore that?
if hitler respawns and flunks out of art school again, do we just ignore the history and let him keep going see what happens? lmfao

Not really, the progression became more RNG with the card based. The only real progression with it was from the lewd cards, and that was more due unlocking via the corruption values. Actual combat cards relied on drops from killing your enemies and they drop real quick too.
Not that it matters caused I am holding strongly that changing combat mechanics fucked with the battle-fuck mechanics, and that scripting mayhem crossed into the massage side job.

And that is REALLY sad, because the ideas and the art are REALLY FUCKING GOOD, god I can't stress that enough...

Am I the only one who downloaded it to try it and is wondering where the tutorial is? (I don't know the game that inspired Velminth to make this one)
I also have a problem: when I meet Lucy's sister from Cyberpunk Edgerunners and I press "missions" the game does not advance.
Velminth is a God when it comes to drawing women with abs but apparently he is not used to drawing men (I know you can't question anything this man does because he has too much ego to appreciate criticism)
If Carrion, the MC, gets a tan, he looks the same as Saria, if in the lore they say that they are twin brothers, I believe it, they have the same eyes.

It's unfortunate what happened to the other game because it was a great concept that was had troubles with direction later. I don't mind him putting a game on hold to focus on something new while he figures out what he might want to do with the former game, but male protag games like this are "usually" a no for me which sucks because I really do like that robot female girl a lot. I don't maybe I'll come back if he proves everyone wrong and completes it, but I think I'll just be waiting on him to return and finish his old game.

In Developer notes spoiler was written that no sense to click on missions. They are not implemented. Idk why some developers do such things before releasing game...
Rule 3 of the review rules. You get a link to the rules every time you press on the stars to rate the game. Just under the box, where you write the review.
Pretty sure the first page of this thread has 90% of its text talking about the dev anyways, so where is the "ignoring" part?
And I did not expect to see Godwin's Law in action here. I would not worry about that guy respawning. We only had one case of a respawning 2000 years ago. And a few wars about that being actually true or not.
Also: Really? That hypothetical scenario and comparison is your argument?
The card mechanic certainly needed some polish. And yeah... the changes were buggy...

Honestly a shame was super supportive of saria reclaimed then they changed the combat but that was no big deal I could deal with the card battling system the art was still phenomenal the game felt like a better playing karryns prison with some added features to the kink system then they threw away the rpg element the story and all to make a boring card battler with forced linear progression then after that the dev gets tired and gives up on it to make this weird ass game with a male protag I couldn't care less about now this just reminds me of what happened to malise and the machine granted pure onyx is good but this is just feels like why bother at this point as a player.

That's an easy pass for me, I was on board for the "Saria reclaimed" game, until this dev pulled a bait and switch and turned what would have been a great rpg game with actual corruption mechanics into a generic card game with a linear story.
When the people rightfully pointed out how dishonest that was, he more or less told them to go fuck themselves because it is his game and he decides what to do with it.
Now that his revenue suffered he decided to go for yet another easy money scheme and make another game that he will drag irs developmentfor ages...
TO recap, this dev has already one dropped project called "Miru-GA", then he did the bait and switch with his second project "Saria reclaimed" that he also has yet to complete and now he is going to continue his grift with this new title.
My suggestion is to not fall for his grift and keep your money so you can spend them on completed projects, or projects from devs that have actually produce a title or two. Don't feed the "devs" who always develop new titles but complete nothing.
OR do, I am not going to stop you, but know that you'll only make yourself part of the problem by rewarding such behavior from "devs" who produce nothing completed.

You want the Cherry on top? Saria reclaimed was NOT his first game that he failed to develop to completion, his first game was Miru-GA that he also failed to develop to completion and abandoned it.
Setting it on fire and abandoning it isn't really failing. It's succeeding at milking money from people who lack basic pattern recognition skills.
Which is a real shame, cause his art is pretty good. I wish he'd either actually stick with a project or just stick to making art.
Also, boo, male protagonist for this one.
