Please… This is not a “redemption arc”. I miss you Rein, but redemption implies that I did something wrong. And I legit don’t see it. I honestly don’t understand why some of you are upset.
What this is, really, is a villain arc.
You delivered nothing for 15 months+ and made a bunch of promises you couldn't keep while finding excuses to make delays, and still collecting a phat paycheck from Patreon on top of that with no shame whatsoever. People ran numbers - had you worked, lets say 5 hours a week, in a year that'd be 240 hours. Even half of that would've provided an update. And considering the money you make, I'm surprised you're not ashamed of yourself. People work their assess off to make 1/5th of that in your country and you're basically just sassing people in this thread for a living. Don't fool yourself, 0.4.9.3 was not an update. That's something you scrap together in an evening to prove to your teacher that you're definitely paying attention in class and doing work.

The "Redemption" is proving to all of your dedicated fans that genuinely want to see you succeed, that you've actually been working on something and that you're a trustworthy dev. If you were truly innocent, there wouldn't be so much justified hate.

I'm only giving you a hard time because this is one of the best games I've played on this site. Easily top 3. It's such a shame to see the potential just rot away. Sorry if I'm harsh but someone has to say it the way it is.

I still really like this game and I want to see where it ends up in the future. On that note rather than being frustrated or angry I merely send my emotional and spiritual support to Mulan. I Haven't been able to send financial support for a long time because I'm too poor so all I can do is say keep up the good work and I hope you have the opportunity to actually finish this game and I appreciate what you've made so far even if you don't.

Wow the maker of this game turns out to be an edgy dick. If you actually worked on making a good game I would've supported it like I've supported others but I don't even think I'll play it for free when its done, if it even gets completed. Damn dude, stop trying to act cool and righteous over valid criticisms. And saying "its a villain arc" is one of the most cringy and edgy things I've heard in a vacuum and in context makes you sound worse.
Bro this is the porn site that has ridiculed him for almost a year straight, do you seriously not see this as him taking the piss? All of the traffic this generated literally put the game on the front page.

I like this game, maybe the only RPG that I've played for more than 5 minutes, it's dark, visceral, and has an ingrained dirtiness that gets rooted in the gut, then grows like a spikey weed into your subconscious, altering living perception, that in turn becomes the nightmarish reality that is your new everything.
Also, a guide would be super niffy. :giggle:

Yeah I wouldn't mind that either actually. Not necessarily a full on walkthrough, that's not necessary, but at least like... solid pointers, something like "You can go to this place in that area to start this path, but be aware that if you go this far you'll get too far gone" or stuff like that.
Basic, clear informations as to the options there are without spoiling everything basically.
Because it can be easy to get lost in what the options are, or end up trying to do something and discover you're now too much of a bimbo to have options... :KEK:

Mulan, please, you went full Musk on us for over a year.



Every release cycle it was "Oh it's almost ready, we just barely couldn't finish it on time, but it will 100% be ready next month!". Over. And over. And over. Again.

And I remember a time when you apologized for the delays, and seemed genuinely remorseful for disappointing your backers. And now what? ”You did nothing wrong”? You’re the victim here?

I will give you benefit of the doubt one last time and explain why I’m upset. I feel like I’ve been lied to. Deceived. I saw a project I loved to see grow, that I thought was in good hands. A project that then hit one delay, then another. Which is understandable, things happen. But when you see no progress for a long time, and each month it’s just the same excuse over and over again…

You have to ask yourself – are the problems real, or is he just taking money and not doing any work, hoping our loyalty will keep us around while he milks us dry?

And with every delayed release, you grow to accept, that maybe, just maybe, you’ve been taken advantage of.

Now, have you done that Mulan? I don’t know! Maybe this update actually will show the result of 15 months of work, and prove you are a decent guy who tried his best, but things didn’t always work out.

But even if it does, it does not change the fact, that I feel like I’ve been taken for a sucker. That’s why some of us are upset.

Right on the nose, you don't want to become a tripping over your stilettos, Bimbo. :ROFLMAO:
Heh. That was more that I got to a point my character was so stupid it felt like it locked me out of variations or options and it felt frustrating, but I was already too far gone at this point. So I ended up starting all over in another update and trying to avoid that path, only to stumble around like a drunk fool.
The game feels very expansive but for some players like me it's probably easy to get struck by decision paralysis.

Mulan, please, you went full Musk on us for over a year.

Good job on being respectful in your criticism. I wish that was more common than belittling and insulting.
No this isn't sarcasm, I've seen to many people get overly agressive to downright insulting so I figured I'd point out the effort.
