Well, take Being A Dik or A mother's love or any other large VN's for example. They all have too many flags or triggers or points that calculates along with you as you play the game which will direct you to some events and endings. Ecchi Sensei doesn't have any of this backend programming stuff. yet they talk about coding etc, what are they coding then?
Take BADIK again, they are adding many different game mechanics, in last one Episode 6 they have introduced a whole new mechanic where you manage the DIK house etc. This was implemented in the middle of the game as a new mechanic. and they just released an update to merge with the main folder. you have only 1 save and 1 game folder not like ES, where at some point I had 3 game folders and many saves.
What I'm saying is and the reason why I point out "largest and longers VN of all time" is, the devs are mentioningin this every time and everywhere. They're lazy and try to cover it with showing repetitive stuff they did to ensure you that they're not being lazy. Repeating the broken codes over and over again, will net you largest code base for a game with a shit ton of bugs. but they just say "Longest code writing." When I read his/her updates he/she ALWAYS talk about writing codes, tell me, you're using Ren'PY and don't add anything to the game. The game is the same since it's released, not a single new gameplay mechanic, there's a phone but with bugs and poor design. Since tha game was released (2018) there are still things that say "WIP" inside the game, calendars that do nothing, the top menu doesn't function at all. What codes are we talking about here?
Then there's Treasure Of Nadia. I don't like this game either... why? they have a strict worktable and they're releasing updates every 2 weeks. the problem is, the content is too low (%2-3 progress at max) that you get your updates but it's just not feel like playing a game but more like watching porn or something. at least for me. You can forget about the game for 2 months, miss 4 updates, and when you return and play all of them, it will take 10-20 mins at max. I will be bold and say this is milking patrons as well in my book. since they are delaying the ending as much as possible and opening the valve only tiny bit for a long time.
All in all, this game has no rights to take this long between updates. And I have mentioned the mess with they days>weeks and weeks>months transition. dev mentioned they hired staff etc. why aren't threy still making all the content so far into a base game, and add updates like any other VN devs do? instead of updates they're making us download whole game again and move our saves. I mean, I havent seen any dev do it like this. where you download updates as new games.
Also, the main problem of this game, why can't I free roam in the campus? why there isn't any random encounters? I could snek up around the school and if my stealth or luck is high enough I could encounter lesbian action with students and if my charisma is enough i could join, or I can blackmail "not seems to possible in this game's universe tho" or I could choose to spend my time with only one student for all the time. Fuyu for example, she's understanding for MC to have a harem and supporting him but i would love to have an option where I only have fuyu or fuyu and tomoe. This game has so much potential as an RPG open world genre. the game forces you to play linear path that you cna't traverse. We're playing the fantasy of the dev who's doing this game. nothing wrong with that, but tha game could be much much much more than just being a linear fantasy VN. I remember so many scenes with so many characters that I never wanted to have. and how much sex can MC do in a singel day. I remember in one of the days, we had Fuyu, crazy nurse, some other students and at the end of the day we still banged the waifu as well. the game asks if you want to vang the waifu, after all the stuff happaned at school. but why is it asking if there's no disadvantge or any flags present in the game? it's so linear. I truly was expecting a bad ending where if you go spend time with mika for so long, she would turn into yandere mode and star harrassing or killing the other girls you meet. or you. like I said, you're just mindlessly banging people. no flag checks, no stats no consequences. This game is being wasted on this dev I'd say. and I still don't understand when you don't have anny of these mechanics inside the game, how can you tlak about coding and how hard it is to optimize etc. there's literally nothing being improved or added so what's making it so hard?
