Gave 0.0.4 a go through itch and yeah I'm pretty convinced after playing all the content in around 15 minutes that mainly consisted of figuring out where to go for what that at best the scope is way too large or more likely this was made to milk people who want another breeding season
the N^2 animation problem was pretty bad with breeding season if i remember it correctly and this seems like they want to do quadruple the amount of animation since each combination has 4 separate animations to choose from and what i can only assume is an additional climax to each animation since the finish button is also unavailable on all of them and you instead have to exit out a different way out once your done viewing
even if it's only the MC that gets four animations since the only animations are MC x monster right now that's still a lot of additional work especially since they plan to have a female MC as well later on
that's also without the extra ideas on their roadmap like catching wild monsters, secondary npcs, and the apparently key feature of monster fusion that isn't present at all so far and all sound like an additional load of animation if most of those weren't probably just there to look good
the additional barn affection animation where you spam click on the image to get affection also exists which no idea what affection does and it's not particularly fun so i didn't interact with it beyond the first time i stumbled into where your dragons are kept
and if i am to believe the title of one of their patreon posts they're working on a second game that's coming out supposedly soon so the already low hope i have on this reaching a complete state is even lower
also personal nitpick but i was hoping the designs would be closer to the feral appearances of the breeding season monsters since this game is called Beast Breeder but oh well i'm not expecting much but won't hurt to download again in a year or three unless this gets abandoned for that second game
