Jesus Christ, one comment by the dev and a cult comes out to unquestionably defend him.
"Negativity"? Fans of the first game wondering what the hell is going on with the dev and the game and being left in the dark about it for years is not negativity. We just wanna know where the game is in development.
We've seen these sample videos, a screenshot of the game folder, but never been told when we should expect the game to be released until now. I've been on the discord channel but nothing useful is said there most of the time and when I did directly ask "hey, any news on the game", I was outright ignored.
Like it or not, you have fans that need pandering to. Them responding this way isn't negativity, it's the result of neglecting your fanbase and calling it negativity shows a lack of understanding on your part. I'm not going to be part of this echo chamber and tell you what you wanna hear "ah we are all a bunch of greedy horny shits that dunno how to wait for a dev to create a game, alot of f95 community members are crap". No, instead I'll tell you "we want you to release your game, we want to know where your game is in the development cycle, we want news, we want updates, and hell, if you were coherent and honest about everything, we'd willingly even support you before your game gets released".
The only reason this thread is this long is because you aren't honest, you aren't coherent, and you leave most of us wondering wtf is going on and every time you do make an announcement it does sound like a set of excuses. Tell us the game is coming out in 2030, tell us, and I'd happily leave and not look back till 2030. I don't care you're 1 person. We've already waited over 7 years, but we still hope for something good to come out of you because your animations are great and you have good taste.
Legitimate criticism isn't toxicity. If you are bad at dealing with your fanbase, appoint one of your fans to deal with them. Have this person update a log on your channel about the current development stage of the game so that every time someone like me comes on, wondering, they should go there, read it, and shut the hell up. This way, you don't give yourself the headache of dealing with us, all you need to do is tell this 1 person, what is going on, and he'll tell the rest of us.
