The end of the original version was NOT the removal of (EVIL Scum) Eric. The end was due to Patreon rules and DS not wanting to alter things (most also think DS was bored with/did not like the game). Yes, for SOME people the game was damaged/destroyed when (Oatmeal Raisin Cookie loving) Eric was removed, but for most it was seen as an improvement. For myself I do NOT like (the Hideous EVIL Monster) Eric, but could have dealt with him if he had not been so overpowered. So far in THIS game while he DOES have power, he is not unbeatable. As long as he CAN be stopped then I have NO problem avoiding his content. IF (EVIL Scum) Eric takes over as happened in the original THEN I will be unhappy. For now I VERY much enjoy this version and look forward to every update.
I understand that some people enjoy (EVIL Scum) Eric and while I do NOT, this game seems to be doing a decent job of balancing the content for those that do and do not want him. I know that it HAS been said by the Dev that things WILL change and (the Monstrous EVIL) Eric will be removed, I hope that those who enjoy his content will find things to enjoy when that happens as it has also been made clear that new challenges will arise.
Personally, I have enjoyed this game more than the original. DS started by adding the sub-title 'the incest game of a lifetime' or something similar, and then seemed to AVOID the incest aspect of the game. For those that do not enjoy such a story, well you do NOT need to set relationships to include relatives.
Aleksey90 has created a story here that I think fulfills the idea/premise of the original version FAR better that DS did, and I look forward to seeing how everything progresses.
Just a thought.
P.S. Chocolate Chip Cookies a the BEST content that could be added to this (and MANY other) game(s). We NEED to see the JOY that Chocolate Chip Cookies can bring to ALL the lovely ladies.
