He should work on those scenes, and its likely that the following update fills in some of those scenes, I mean, I dont even remember how many are still in the game to begin with.At the end of the day he should have work on those scenes before adding new content to the game either a rework or a complete new version of the scene not just leaving all there incomplete that's the point of this , if he did it with a lower quality back in the day well at least he finished it but that's not the case not even close , no wonder why the game is in the state it is, his priorities absolutely affected the game now new bugs shows up so yes that's incompetence dude.
He is incompetent, just the constant issue of being unable to reasonably hit his own time frames, and maintain a stable update schedule is enough to prove this. I'm just saying that I personally don't find him leaving some not implemented scenes in the game as a sign of incompetence, at most its just a sign of his priorities, which some people may or may not agree with, personally I don't care about the not implemented scenes all that much, their locations don't exactly seem like they'd lead to incredible scenes anyways. That being said, some of the best scenes currently in the game were added despite the not implemented scenes being present.If he wasn't planning on just stalling the game to milk as much as he can, then yes it's incompetence. All of this is supposed to be planned and that includes increases of art style quality over time. Which is why you see more competent devs seek to finish their games first and foremost and touch up on older stuff either as they go or after the game is done. (as they go means, inserting changes alongside new stuff...not stopping progress to insert changes)
A good example is the dev of M.W.O. games. They weren't satisfied with their first game but finished it anyway. When they completed their 2nd game, their drawing skills increased and they figured out the parts they wanted to improve on in the first game, so they remade it. After their 3rd game, again they weren't satisfied with parts of the 2nd game so again they remade those parts. Even better, those first versions of the games were free. Only after making the remake of the games did they decide to charge for them and this was before ci-en became a thing.
Another good, yet bad, yet good example is dot kobo (.kobo). Made 3 games using a certain 90's-ish artstyle, changed their art direction after their 3rd game. Immediately remade 3rd game (among releasing additional games) to fit new art style and new combat style, over time remade the 1st game using new art style and combat style and is in the midst of remaking 2nd game. Now if only they stop trying to make all-ages games that keep the H just moving it off-screen......and give us Busters 2 already...
Though I did originally add the caveat that updates should come out within a reasonable ratio of quality, quantity and time. For the previous update defending it would be difficult, but if he is even somewhat close to releasing another update to the time he implied (seems to be within October), than it would completely change things. I mean I think if he was consistently updating the game then there'd be little to no complaints, from 0.30 to 0.31, even if it takes another month, the improvement in speed over the previous two updates would be substantial, especially as those two took so long, each being over a year.
