Quick question: I was in the neighborhood and I read
SummmerP's altercation with
seronis talking about how "Seronis was full of shit" for writing such a harsh review. First off, learn to take criticism, that's 1.
2. He was the only helpful review I found in the reviews so far. The rest of the reviews were all sycophantic talking about how amazing it was (5 stars!) without describing ANY detail about WHY it was amazing. I don't usually review First releases for this reason.
3rd is this:
Why is there no NTR tag if this is the case? Very few of the reviews or comments make mention to it at all including your supposed tags. So are you just being disingenuous on purpose? An oversight? Give me something!
I like to think I give fair criticism, so if the above can be answered, feel free to give the proper context and explanation. As of now, it leaves me confused.
I should be spending my time more productively..
I'll try to be quick. And I will not start a discussion on the matter.
I'll gladly answer any game related questions/suggestions/criticism you might have, as long as it's respectful. (thought I made that clear before)
Flaming something and criticising it are different things. And yet it is kinda pointless to argue with disrespect, I believe we all have the right to stand for ourselves, every now and then.
I do take criticism, Larry.
The fact that I've been openly and widely listening to our community from the very start should've hinted that.
From polls to changes on the characters' models, I've been listening and answering to this community non-stop, both on our development thread and on discord.
But if you are yet skeptical about it, see the projected changes I've commited to make on the next patch, after reading through and assimilating the huge feedback we recieved since release. It's on patreon. Wait for it, and put my ability to take criticism to the test yourself.
Now, I never praised 5 star reviews as if that's what I wanted from you. I did ask for players who enjoyed the game for a positive review if they felt like doing so. The score system is a thing, and I do feel like it matters.
As a dev who's working his ass off to deliver the best that I can, I feel entitled to accept some positive responses there.
But also, as a dev who's working his ass off to deliver the best that I can and as a long time adult games enthusiast, I did get offended by a release version 1 star review whose author was constantly trying to make up as constructive criticism.
Whether there were valid points in it or not, that offended me. And I see no villany in stepping up against it.
You advocate for not reviewing a game on its release version but that's exactly was done here by that fella, w/ the lowest score possible.
Now, on the NTR matter, here's why I didn't add an NTR tag.
To my understanding, there's no NTR in the game.
Lisa is Bobby's sister. She's not his partner, his girlfriend, his wife, or a fling.. no.
And she has a boyfriend. A shitty ass boyfriend, but her boyfriend. There's a scene where they kiss (he also grabs her boob, lightly, on that same scene). And there's a scene where it's implied that she's giving him a blowjob.
You don't get to see the blowjob though, you see them in position and it's easy to figure out what's happening through the dialogue. It's not explicit. I even thought about having cum on her face as she stands up, but had it removed.
What I have planned for the game is for Mike to experience a reverse NTR, if you will. He plays with Bobby and it's annoying and it's all part of the drama - I'm building tension, and it'll be rewarded once you the player sways Lisa from him.. in a very NTR fashion, for naturally, as his sister, Lisa has no intention of getting intimately w/ Bobby.
Double check what NTR stands for, if you feel like that's what this is.
But the worse part of his comment, was saying that that is the most sexual content you'll get. That's a lie.
That is full of shit. It is not. It's a kiss, a quick boob feel and a blowjob you don't get to see.
That whole quote of his that you replied, is no criticism. It's just bullshit.
There are many rants in here, as reviews or just comments. I haven't responded to them. It's ok to rant on something you didn't like on the internet.
But he acted as if he was being constructive while openly lying and flaming my work, and I felt like I should say something.
So I did.
That's it.
I'm NOT going back on this, ok?
This is SP out.
