He's changed his stance on the quest system and has suggested that he may go with a system similar to a game called "slime rancher" when it comes to unlocking new areas, whatever that means, I never played slime rancher. Whatever he chooses he's only going to use the obscure stuff for out of the way events that won't impede gameplay. The "minigame" for capturing is placeholder. Most of what people find issue here are things the dev is well aware of such as how the tag system is for breeding, the capturing minigame, lack of clothes, ui, breeding board being useless, etc. He prefers smaller, frequent updates but the side effect is that we end up with unsatisfying placeholders for long stretches of time.
Currently he's working on a part of that core gameplay in the form of progression but is finding difficulty finding his stride in introducing limits on a game that most people bought in on being an open sandbox. No matter what he decides he'll aggravate someone, you can't just leave a game open ended from the start for over 3 years only to suddenly limit what people can do without getting some backlash. Part of what I think made people detest it so much is how vague it was to progress, if everything was laid out better and more obvious I think it would have been better received.
