A quick word, if I may, on some of the opinions that have sparked passionate debates here. I’d love to dive deeper or respond to each of you individually, but I’d really like to get back to working on Chapter 3 now that the remake is finally done—haha.
I completely understand all your opinions and preferences. Based on it's own experience, everyone sees things differently. As I’ve mentioned before, there are as many paths a game’s development can take as there are players. I do take your feedback into account, even if sometimes it requires a bit of imagination to find the constructive elements in some of it
