Probably. You are right about the videos and pictures. Most categories have plenty, just a few need more. I'm just trying to keep the game alive and am only working on things that interest me right now. I quit developing the game a while back like spectre1viper did but decided to come back and add some more. The only person working on the game right now is me and it is part-time.The game does not really need more videos, It is overloaded as its. Ofcourse it is up to you but jessicajones would it not be better to flash out the complete barebone relationship system and city. The game itself is completely barebones despite massive size.
There will be a multi-part random event which will be new. I put a lot of time and effort into it. You are right about parts of the game being barebone. The original game is much worse.
Evil 2 was kind of doomed from the beginning. Players have no tolerance for removing game features. Because the original game featured all possible starts (gay, lesbian, trans, male, female, male feminization, transformation, etc.) the entire game was barebones. You can't possibly have an in-depth game while coding for the multitude of exceptions that all those starts bring to the table. That is why there was no depth to the original game. All those possible starts was the only thing the original game had going for it.
spectre1viper took the original game and streamlined it and expanded the sex system and other areas of the game. If he hadn't focused and streamlined his efforts it would have taken him forever to release anything worthwhile. Players weren't having it though. Constant complaints about removing features and players facepalming the OP, among other things. spectre1viper also released Evil 2 as Windows only which drew a lot of additional criticism. The other QSP player from Sonnix didn't provide full MP4 support, so spectre1viper decided to not support that QSP player. spectre1viper communicated with Sonnix multiple times and Sonnix either couldn't fix his QSP player or didn't want to. The Sonnix QSP player allowed the Linux and Mac players to play the game on their platform. It may even work for android but I'm not sure on that. Basically, the Sonnix QSP player will play basic MP4 videos but not ones encoded with common VLC and other libraries which 98% of MP4 players support.
The straw that broke the camel's back is when a player posted a 100% pure hate review of the game with lots of inaccurate information and spectre1viper reported the review several times but the moderation team sided with the reviewer. The review was eventually deleted after the blowback but it was too late by then. As long as the moderators have 100% of the decision making power on this site then he isn't interested in continuing development.
So basically, spectre1viper isn't coming back and I'm just releasing content every once in a while to keep the game alive. I didn't start developing for the game until after spectre1viper left. spectre1viper added me as an author after releasing several moderately sized content updates to the game. spectre1viper is still on this site and plays some of the games here, he just doesn't develop porn games anymore.
I will say that is is frustrating to developers when they spend lots of time releasing updates and then get little to no feedback when they ask for it. 90% or more players on this site "download and ditch", they contribute nothing, just download and run. They only post on the site if they run into a problem. Case in point, the last major update I made (with the four new random events) I asked players for feedback on them and not a peep from anyone. I spent a great deal of time on those events. I had no idea if they hated them or loved them. Without feedback a dev can only guess...
I'm currently only working on content that interests me, otherwise, there won't be any. I'm probably going to take another short break after I release this update (soon).
