Has anyone been able to trigger both scenes? Thoughts?
If you think you'll get much constructive feedback you'll be sadly mistaken. When I started developing for this game and on this site I had no idea how badly the "new generation" of gamers have devolved. 90% or more of the players on this site "download and ditch" and contribute nothing. They only post if they run into a problem or have a question. Even then, they are super lazy and don't even bother to research the problem or question in any way. They just expect a personalized answer and can't be bothered to lift a finger to help themselves. The answer to their question is often a few posts above their own and they are unwilling to read anything. They also can't be bothered to use the 'Search' feature (too much effort it seems).
Even simple problems cause most players to give up. They throw their hands up in the air and cry foul, complaining in the forum. This is what shocked me the most. The new generation of players (in general, not all) have no problem solving skills whatsoever. Even if they did, they are too lazy to use them. I'm not joking.
I grew up with gaming in the 80s to early 2000s. The Internet is a fairly new invention (at least for global use). Before the Internet became popular in the mid to late 90s, players couldn't log into the Internet and look for an answer. They had to solve the problem on their own. This taught players good problem solving skills which are severely lacking in today's generation of gamers. Modern technology has made the new generation very lazy in general. They also feel entitled and demand things.
Good luck but this is largely why I left. I was totally disgusted with the community on this site. We all get to choose how we spend our time. I made no money from the game and donated a lot of my time but I won't do it any longer for this new generation of players. I was totally and completely disgusted with what I saw.
This is why 'Visual Novels' are so popular on this site and take all of the top spots. As long as you can click a mouse or hit the spacebar you can play it. No effort is required. Players want to be entertained and not think too much. Visual novels are nearly 100% pure entertainment (like watching a show or film), you just have to click the mouse or spacebar to advance to the next scene. I believe this game was released towards the end of 2019 and it only has 16 reviews. If I developed a visual novel (even a bad one) I'd have more than that number in less than a month. The proof is in the facts...
I'm not trying to discourage you from developing this game. Do what your heart desires and enjoy life! I'm just warning you that you won't get much feedback from the community unless it is negative (players love to complain and most are very slow to praise if at all).
There have been a select few on this site that have been wonderful! Thank you for all of your support! You know who you are.
Update:
I will say that I've made mistakes also. I should have added more mirrors to download the game. I also assumed a minimal level of competence with players and it was wrong for me to assume that. Both issues are oversights on my part and I own them.
I mean no disrespect or offense to anyone specifically. Several players have taken this post as a personal attack. This was not my intent.
This post may sound like an angry rant but it is an accurate description of what takes place and what developers have to deal with constantly.
This post has generated a lot of negative feedback and even some hate. I apologize if I offended anyone. Players who are posting "hate" after they interpret my post as "hate" are no better. There can't be a double standard.
Life life to the fullest and have an awesome day!
