Wow I didn't know a
2 stars rating and some
honest opinions on the current state of the game can bring such a big meltdown and agitated response from the dev himself. Luckily I didn't left 1 star review, otherwise I might have been directly reported by him to threaten me to take down that rating, phew!
Anyway. Nice tactics. By coming out and making a long response to me, by identifying my review as "hate review, vengeful review", you immediately turn your supporters against me so they will mark me as a hater, and ignore all the points I am trying to make in my comments.
If I want to leave you a vengeful review I wouldn't even start it by saying
what are the strengths of this game etc. That seems almost too kind! So maybe take away the delusion that "people are trying to punish you with reviews", like what you said in your long thesis?
Trying to invalidate constructive comments and isolate yourself from bad reviews won't help. Constructive is not equal to nice and praise. If you only want praise and nice words then go back to kindergartens, they will award you if you can do 1+1.
My points are simple:
This update
is not satisfying. It does not justify the 5 months wait. It
lacks contents, and has game breaking
bugs, which was the reason why it was delayed in the first place. Thus my comments and my reviews.
I just cant help wondering: in your various announcements (3-4 of them in total, the only real one being the last one in Feb) where you announced "ok the update is
ready, we are
ready to release this month!"
What state of the game makes you considered it "
ready" enough that you are confident enough to post it on
patreon? You even posted a
100% completion bar all the way back in December!

And would you care to explain where is the
announced therapist event, christmas events, and all other promised contents? I see that you carefully avoid talking about them in your long response. Or maybe you just accidentally leave it out like how you accidentally leave out contents in this update. Unfortunate I guess.
And after reading carefully through your responses, I think you have done less to help clarify yourself, but rather have brought up more points to prove my initial comments: that is, you yourself knew that this update is not satisfying, you knew that people will be upset, and you cant deny it so you have to make a long list of excuses, and still when I leave you a 2 star reviews because I honestly don't like this update, it makes you so upset that you want to write this long essay that basically threatens people: hey if you gonna leave me bad reviews again I'm gonna be so pissed I will report you/identify you as fake accounts from other devs/delay the updates even more.
Oh not to mention:
This sentence alone tell me enough about you. You are willing to use your own product as a hostage, so that no more people dare to come out and say their own honest opinions against you anymore. Bravissimo!
In all case, I make myself clear here: I don't think this is a good update, I gave it my honest, heartfelt opinion, and end up getting targeted by the dev.
Guess I am just too unqualified to say anything about a game that I actually enjoyed back then.
