Good example for the fact that taste is individual.
I couldn't give a shit about the graphics. It looks good enough to me. But absolutely HELL NO should he remake the whole game. Are you serious? That's a one way ticket to being discouraged from continuing working on the game.I just finished the current version, so here's my opinion.
Overall, it was very enjoyable and I already rated it 5/5, so I'll just list negatives.
I didn't like the sandbox in the 2nd part too much.
The quests were good and simple and all, but I still felt I had to get all the "chores" (supermarket, janitor, asking Alice to collect all the info) out of the way, before continuing the main story.
To do so, I skipped doing any school events until everything was finished — which is not good for a school-themed game.
The 1st part and the UI etc are better than before.
Graphically, I'm not sure if it already was like that, but many characters look like they have private tanning beds at home and they're sunburned on most days (miscalibrated monitor?).
And of course the graphics overall are 20+ years outdated...
I see you've gotten some new supporters, which is well deserved, but still too few.
I think most people simply are like: "Shit graphics? Sandbox? Puzzle? I'm out!"
So I'd take the drastic step of remaking the game again, with at least modded Honey Select 2 graphics.
Graphics are the first thing coomers see and the screenshots don't exactly entice anyone to give the game a chance.
This is one of the few games I consider very good, so I don't wanna see it abandoned due to lack of money again ...though of course I won't contribute any money myself
No, I meant he should remake the renders. (I just edited my post to clarify)
That's exactly what I was talking about. It's a one way ticket to burn out. It's an extremely monotone job and not creatively fulfilling at all. And also discouraging since he put so much time into making a long update with the same graphics.
It seems that taste about graphics are very subjective. The current graphics made me loving the game and give it a big support. Other graphics ? - I dont know ??
Discord message from dev: ... I have no idea what happened. I'm trying to contact Patreon to find out the reason.
It's also discouraging if he releases a few more updates and sees that his supporter count doesn't grow considerably.
Surprising, considering it's school AND anime.
As written above:
May be often, but in this case, after Patreon kind of apologized for the "glitch", they immediately corrected things for tons of random games to make sure that they are back.
Nah, they're both pretty draconian in that regard.
