There is valid critique here. There is also doom posting, but just as much, if not more, white knighting defending everything to the grave. I don’t agree with either extreme. People keep replying to nitpick or argue semantics, which is happening here too. My “not sick that long” comment is being misrepresented. In an older post I said if we are generous we could give him a week, before I read in the credits it was a month. Later I said even if we are extremely generous and say a month, my point was still the same, which was about removing that time from how long it took to release. As for "empathy for the fellow man," I said if he is sick I hope he feels better, have said in my comments I think he is extremely talented, love the game, and hope it succeeds. I have sugarcoated almost, if not every comment.Brother, I don't mean to be rude, but where is all this "constructive" criticism you keep referencing? The grand majority of the negative feedback is not constructive by any metric, it's just people whining that there's no sex in this update and/or dooming about the f/f path supposedly being the priority now. Vapid shit, mostly. Now, could Scarlet do something productive with this type of feedback? Possibly. That doesn't make it helpful or valuable on its own, however.
Like I said earlier, I think it's perfectly reasonable for some people to be disappointed. We just had a lot of updates for a path that doesn't cater to the tastes of many in the thread, so I empathize with folks on that. And yes, this is a porn game, so sex is an expectation for sure. It's just a lot of the tone underpinning the "constructive" feedback here kinda sucks ass lol. Much of it reads like people have been personally spited, not that they're simply underwhelmed. Even a good portion of your own posts on this amount to "well he couldn't have been sick THAT long". Like, c'mon dude. Have a lil empathy for your fellow man.
If you were disappointed by this update then hey, that's totally fair. Wanting that emotion validated and being glad you're not the only one feeling that way? Also totally reasonable. But lumping yourself in with this bellyaching and defending it as respectable critique, when it's clearly not? Weird move imo.
For me, the main issue is how long it took to write this update. I am not a fan of the futa on futa direction, there are now too many characters, and it is becoming a sex fest. It took almost a year to get back to the netori route, and the update we got was extremely short despite the long wait. Others have echoed the same feedback. If the dev wants to slow down and add more buildup with dialogue-heavy updates, that is fine and even good at times, but it should not take three months to release something this small.
My criticism and feedback are heavily sugarcoated, but not to the extent of some people here who sit on the fence to appease everyone without making any real points. I have said my piece and I am leaving it at that. I do not want to keep going in circles on this.
