VN Ren'Py Actual Roommates [Ch.8] [HanakoXVN]

[damnedfrog]

The only idea they are giving me is to not put any more things like that in a game.

That fucking ending wasn't even supposed to exist, it only came about 'cause people kept pestering me about having both sisters simultaneously.
I hate it, it goes against what I wanted the game to be (hence why the option for picking it is "I hate this", it's literally me speaking through MC), but I still put it in to make people happy and tried to make it as entertaining as I could.

I know this won't change anybody's mind, but I'll explain my reasoning behind the "leaving Spoon with Johnny" choice:
The Legend Ending it's not supposed to be a "perfect", "true" or whatever ending. It was supposed to be something extra for subsequent playthroughs and not something you'd stumble upon on the first go.
The solution was putting one of the requirements behind a choice that, from the feedback I've received from players, very few actually picked.

I now see that people view something like this differently than me and I'll keep it in mind for the future.

Thanks to you HanakoXVN, if anyone ask me why I didn't get the Legend ending, I can reply "because I respect the vision of the author".
Way more dignified and classy than "because I too dumb to found it...".

I'm still going to put in a UFO ending in Neon Heart and none of you can stop me.

What a shame!

Well, who in their right mind would leave Spoon behind?

This decision was literally the only choice I missed from Legend in my main primary save path (which got Dragon ending). So I wholeheartedly agree.

I get it, but it's your game, your story, you should tell it the way you want. As a developer, you shouldn't be fulfilling your audience's fantasies by doing violence to yourself. That kind of thing always ends up with an abandoned game and everyone ends up badly off.

This time it has also put its stamp on the quality of your work, because anyone who starts from Ch.8 and has not clearly rejected the possibility of marriage before cannot reach the Legend ending, even if he tries all combinations. However, there is no hint that this is necessary to do so, which is frustrating for the player.

So make your games the way YOU like them.

I too dumb to found it...

Outrageous is this veiled insinuation about my intellectual abilities!

The obtuseness of a fanbase can be hilarious.

HanakoXVN has said -- in nearly every posting about it -- that the Legendary ending was A) Something that only came about because of constant pestering; B) Not something intended to be in the game and won't be "canon"; and C) was going to be a "Secret" ending with no clues provided either in-game or by the author herself.

So the constant complaining about how hard it is to reach said ending, and the complaints about the actual revealed path, all show how LITTLE the "fan base" actually pays attention to anything the dev actually posts.

They just get a hint of "All-Girls" ending and think "Okay! This is what I've been waiting for!" (Wait, what do you mean I have to do something I don't want to do to get the outcome I want! That's not fair!!!)

Grow up. You're supposed to be adults, or you shouldn't be here.
Yes, I know, this post will be about as effective as any of Hanako's have been, but I couldn't restrain the snark ...

Damn. Sounds hollow but knowing that I guess I'm a part of the problem. I'm certainly no stranger to authors having to cave or compromise their vision to appease their audience/editors/etc and it always results in a sub-=par result for the work itself(Bleach, JJK(I think), and numerous book series to say nothing of other VNs). If you read this my bad. I loved this game and it's been a rewarding experience to play thus far and if I wasn't dirt poor for it's entire run I would've subbed a long time ago. Will do so if I can at a later date.
Also thank you for the image of your precious cinnamon roll.
