I never shared my opinion about users or dev before (as a proof this is my first post!) but i think this dev is getting a lot of undeserved negativity wrt other devs.
I do not know why, maybe i have sympathy for this dev or June tits just brainwashed me, whatever, here my 2 cents...
A lot of user are complaining about:
- low content: are we really sure that this game has low content? Yes, is a slow burn but i do not think low content. How old is this game? Less than 1 year? This is what? The fifth or sixth update?
Regarding the slow burn keep in mind that there are people out there that likes slow burn (me included). I think we have much worse example of this problem (yes i am talking about you Happy summer)
- sandbox: i know this kind of games are hated by user and it is understandable. This is a porn game, why i should have to bother to go here and there just to fap... Even tought this is a kind of game that people out there likes (i do not dislike but i am not for sure a huge fan of this mechanic). But this is not the point, what i really never understood is that I see a lot of user giving low rating for just being sandbox games.
You should rate the game in the context of a sandbox game.
To give a comparison, i really hate FPS games and i really like RPG games. The moment i decide to play an FPS game i do not complain that i should have an aim improvement stats after 5 kills. I just play the game knowing the mechanics and i try to judge it knowing the intrinsic mechanic of an FPS game. I understand that low rating is a pressure to the dev to change is mind but, if this is the path is aiming for this game...
Beside that i agree that sandbox games have an higher risk rate of content dispersion, this game included. I fear, as other, that focusing on multiple chars and multiple route for the same chars is a risky/milky move. I would suggest to focus on multiple routes of few chars but, I still want to give credit to the dev. even tough we have plenty of MIA dev examples in F95. I am ready to get disappointed!
- stupid story: There are out there better written games with more complex story? Yes. Is this game below the story quality threshold? I do not think so. I mean, this is a (free) porn game... something is not logical or not consequential or dumb?? Man i would never expect this from a porn game!
