normally I can understand people skimming through threads or ignoring them outright except the last few pages for games that have a fuck ton of discussions but you could try to be a little more proactive.
Yeah, I don't care. I looked at page one, saw that the preview images were garbage and posted asking what the game really looks like.
Sure, I could be proactive, but is this
worth being proactive over?
You tell me. That's what I posted to ask about./
Should I spend time digging through the thread, or is this game not even worth the effort it'd take to download?
Anyway, it should be obvious that my first question was rhetorical, as evidenced by me answering it myself in the very next line.
"Yes, the reason the preview images look like random crap that was grabbed online is because that's exactly what they are."
I already know that because I
did read a couple of reviews.
But reviews are mixed.
Really mixed.
Suspiciously mixed.
That aside though, the actual
point of my post was the last line.
"Does anyone have any real fucking screenshots showing what the game actually looks like?"
Because uploading nothing but stolen art assets doesn't actually tell me anything or make me want to play your game.
Post pictures of the management UI, or a dialogue box, or what combat looks like, or literally anything that's actually
from the game, not just stolen from R34dotcom.
Attach those to the OP and you might actually get some worthwhile discussion instead of just people repeating the same complaints over and over.
Basically, what i'm actually looking for here is any hint that the developer gave a single fuck at any point during development. as a sort of barometer as to whether I should bother giving a fuck myself or not.
But I can't just come out and ask 'Hey guys, is this actually any good?' because some of the most popular games on f95zone are absolute dogshit garbage that inexplicably became popular despite having bad 3d art, sparse sexual content and no gameplay, so i'm looking for one single
real screenshot, so I can judge for myself.
As for the game itself its text based so if you havent played one of those before its similar to a visual novel but without backgrounds and character portraits. Reading through a lot of text and clicking on options with the occasional image popping up related to whats happening but otherwise its mostly text.
Like free-cities, or like Lilith's Throne?
By which I mean that the former is basically just a text-dump on a plain background, and the latter while still a text-only game, at least has an attempt at a unique UI with a bit of genuine effort put into it.
