There is a difference from what people that do not support us say after a free chapter, and what people that support us say from following along the story.
A difference like free users not having a sunk cost fallacy? They didn't spend money on it so they don't feel like they've wasted anything if they don't like it? If anything, I would think you would want to give a little extra thought to the people who don't financially support you since they're less biased in your favor. Give your fans and backers the love they deserve, but to say, "Well if you don't give us money your opinion isn't worth much!" is crappy.
If you have feedback, I'd happily to listen to it.
Okay. Let's do this, then.
That is
terrible. People's first renders are better than that, and that is in
your most recent chapter. That quality is completely unacceptable for someone who has been producing games as long as you and I'm shocked it made it into the final cut.
As others have said, your quality should be getting
better, not worse or stagnating. These are not examples of improvement. You give so little attention to characters that you aren't able to fuck and it brings the entire quality of the game down.
That NPC is a joke. The silhouettes are awkward and stylistically inappropriate. You guys have high end equipment. Would it kill you to render better backgrounds?
Cecilia's model is flat and one-dimensional (much like her character) and the expressions are disappointing for someone who has been doing this for
years. Surely you can do better.
Seriously, look at the difference. They don't even look like they're from the same game. You don't even use the same style of post work on NPCs you can't put your dick in. Why? What do you do all month?
This is bad. It's repetitive (as was the $20 bonus scene with Amanda, by the way. Go count how many times you repeat yourself or the same words.) and cringey. All adult games have an element of cringe to them because it's for jerking it and enjoying the sex, but this is middle school fanfiction cringe. It completely breaks suspension of disbelief and doesn't read anything like the first 10 or so chapters, so I'm convinced you don't let your writer have much of a say in stuff anymore.
Not consistent. You shopped in a pond (I believe one of Stonemason's assets) so poorly it doesn't even look like it's part of the same environment, and then there's literally
no pond behind her in your other background. This kind of stuff could be easily fixed if you didn't take shortcuts with the render quality in this game, but you always reuse the same backgrounds regardless of if it matches the story or not.
The sound quality (aside from Candy's beautiful voice acting, which she does all the work for as you revealed in your stream. You should pay her more for what she does for you) is poor. You make an upwards of $50k/month and you can't afford some licensed sound effects? The door sound is the god damn AIM alert noise. The background chatter is the same thing over and over on loop, including the obvious "see you guys later" every thirty seconds.
The other girl options hardly mean shit when you force us into a relationship with Amanda. She's the focus. People didn't have a choice and are rightly frustrated by her character derailment.
And outside of the game, you treat your fans very poorly. People aren't unintelligent because they don't like Amanda's character anymore and don't think her actions are justified. You called out some random user in your discord who had literally never spoken before because you thought it might be one of the people who had critiqued you here. Anyone who disagrees or says they don't like the way something was written is told they are wrong and that the writing makes perfect sense with passive aggressive smiley faces. You delete negative comments and only respond to people here because you can't control the narrative. You implied anyone who doesn't support you with their checkbook doesn't have a worthwhile opinion. We can't all rake in fifty thousand dollars a month to gamble away in poker.
) And what could be a problem with others, they are by no means friction- and problem-free characters or lives, so I don't think it very likely it would get boring very easily!
