This is so surreal. Really, I'm at a loss of words.
True. Imo, it would be better to just scrap the prologue and go straight to Bangkok. Develop the main content & after it's finished, go back to the prologue. At this point, I'm not sure if we would even get to Bangkok.That is not what is amazing... what is amazing is that this game have less content now then it had a year ago and there is still people supporting the author.
I actually think his idea of building a semi-open world game is the main flaw. If he'd just had the game be a series of story-based missions, with Bangkok just being the first, he might have actually gotten somewhere by now. I suspect if he ever does get to Bangkok, he will ultimately have to scrap the open world aspects.True. Imo, it would be better to just scrap the prologue and go straight to Bangkok.

It is blatantly obvious he doesn't know how to do open world. He's struggling (for years) to make a linear (with branching but ultimately arriving to the same point) story, and doesn't have experience making anything that would qualify as "open world" (even in the previous version, the "find a guy to take to your room" was still restricted).I actually think his idea of building a semi-open world game is the main flaw.

That's a good point, tbh. But, at this point, I'd be glad if we just get to Bangkok, whether it's an open world or not.It is blatantly obvious he doesn't know how to do open world.

If you think "Bangkok is soo far away" is a problem, wait until (if) he gets there. It's going to take at least twice as long to make anything if he does make "open world" but at most he's just going to give you the same linear events, but triggered randomly.
He doesn't need to scrap the prologue, he already HAS a prologue done in 1.6 that he threw away.True. Imo, it would be better to just scrap the prologue and go straight to Bangkok.

Well, I'm not so much disappointed that nothing further happens so much as what a massive waste of potential that entire situation turns out to be overall.Disappointed that there's nothing further with the nerd trio. You blow all three of them, fantasize about going further... and then things go back to normal with them and you eventually move away for college. Really? Couldn't have given the player the option of how the relationship progresses until you leave?
Protect them from what? Downloading the game for free?*Raises hand* Why isn't there a warning tag like "SCAM" part of the tagging system on F95 to help protect users
Respectfully, you've missed the point -- it's to "protect potential victims from a scammer". It was even bolded in the post you quoted me from. Did you not see it? ^^" Anyway, the point of such a tag would warn potential patrons that the developer may be a scammer and possibly safeguard them from losing some of their hard-earned money. As depechedNode said above "Many members (including me) use this forum as a demo/knowledge database for choosing which games/devs we liked worth supporting, not just for pirating."Protect them from what? Downloading the game for free?
They should just have two sections in the original post, one for intended content tags, and one for stuff that's actually in the game already.If anything, the tags already present on this site should be better policed. For example, this game has had the Prostitution tag for like, what, years now? That's definitely not in the game yet, and Anal was literally just a yes/no option in the previous iteration. Then you got other projects like LoK Rebirth, where 80% of its tags aren't in the game yet either. To me, that's all blatant false advertisement.

If some tags do not follow the rule anymore, I guess you may tell the mods to remove them (click on the Report link in the OP).Excerpt from Tags Rules and List said:Do not use tags that aren't currently available in-game/comic even if the creator says they'll be available in the future.
Because they want to warn others? How is that a mystery?The whining never stops here does it. If y'all think this is a scam why don't you just move on with your lives?
