[HikkiG]

so does this mean that it may be another year or so until its actually done despite the completed tag?

Yes.

People for years: Give us the game, we don't care about the story.
Game releases with missing cutscenes(mostly story stuff, and a few h-scenes): How dare this game release without the things we didn't want.

I can't believe the thing that was said to have been changed years ago was actually changed, the audacity.
Absolutely shaken to the core that zeppelins weren't added to the game, not that there was ever mention of them being added, and regardless of the fact that they wouldn't actually make a difference in the grand scheme of things, but damn it all, I deserve to be mad too.

2GB ram and an R9 is too big of a demand?


You're upset about punctuation and proper grammar? Kangaroo court for sure.


This is the equivalent of buying a car and being mad that you're not already at your destination, if you want porn buy porn, don't get upset that a porn game is still a game. CGs and animations have been available online for years, and it's been said numerous times that it's not the main focus of the game, that's pretty romantic that you'd save yourself for the release though, albeit kinda weird.

lol yeah HW just ignore the bulk of the post, as for the performance problems, u can have a NASA supercomputer and it would still have issues, maybe youll fix it in a few years lmao
and yes im *so* mad that garbage no one asked for was added instead of promised features
also i wonder if the mods just gave up or you have good character development (unlike the game lol) and decided not to report my post

PS maybe dont repeat your main account verbatim and people might think ur an organic user (no boss scenes isnt "mostly story stuff and a few h-scenes") its literally not done yet not marked as such on the store page

A Steam notification arrives in my email.
Future Fragments has been released.
Search for the game in F95.
Find the main thread closed. "Controversy"? What happened here?
Start reading the parallel thread and then the main one.
Enjoy authentic cinema.

Thanks guys, this drama is really interesting.

For my part, I'm going to continue lurking the thread until the game is 100% released, in the meantime there are many games to play and very little time.

And for those who are looking for a good side-scroll or metroidvania game, here are some titles (although many probably already know them):
Alien Quest: Eve.
Drain Mansion.
Dreamcutter (this is one of my favorites).
Echidna Wars DX.
Graveyard Executioner.
LAB2-UndeR GrounD.
Monster Girls You-kichan (you HAVE to play this one).
Nayla's Castle.
And I have some other titles but I think that's enough for now.

Prepare the popcorn and enjoy the show like me! This became even more interesting when an alter account from HW himself appeared today, the funny thing is that no one noticed.

I also recommend "Night of Revenge" although it is much darker and yeah its very easy to spot an alt, he cant help sperging about even small criticism

 

[Dragon4458]

Please do. I'm trying to establish an archive of as many demo versions as I can so as to provide them for the OP later on when things have died down and the major versions of the demos have been sorted and collected.

Yeah i have many, but some are missing, also not sure the best provider to upload them to. any demos you need the most? Also yeah probably best to wait until heat dies down, the game is fully finished and hopefully HW wont DMCA the files. also im quite new so idk how to dm a link

 

[whatmoredoyouwantfromme]

I'm relatively new here so I missed out on all the stuff the dev probably did that was evil but the game is fun, and some of the complaints don't match with the reality of what the game is today....

As someone who watched this develop over the last 8 years and backed in the beginning, and now played a few hours into it.. it should have been released as early access on steam. At least then the general populace would just pass it off as "oh just another perpetual WIP hentai game". No one would think twice and HW would have more time to polish it up. As it is calling it a 1.0 is kind of an insult considering the blatant problems anyone who plays the game once through would find.

I was gonna write a review here but it seems locked, probably because the general public compares this release to that of Subverse, and is review bombing it.

Level 1 is very good 99.99% of the time. But once you finish that the cracks start showing quite rapidly. Including cutscenes being missing, voice acting being missing, features being missing, etc etc. It's not a "bad" game, it's just incomplete.

 

[ChefGennaro]

Nah man, I've seen Devs do a lot more with far less development time, it's just a bad game

 

[OmniFurious]

That demon that wants a kiss, can you? nothing works. Feels like nothing is there

There's some databank that talks about him, couldn't tell you which one off the top of my head.

lol yeah HW just ignore the bulk of the post

It's not me, you wrote a lot, some of it had merit while other things didn't, most points seemed like things we disagree on just from how we view them, and arguing about opinions or whether things were misinterpreted or not won't do any good.

as for the performance problems, u can have a NASA supercomputer and it would still have issues, maybe youll fix it in a few years lmao

I don't know what NASA's specs are, are they the ones using a bunch of PS3s as a supercomputer? Steam deck gets pretty solid performance, only issue I've seen is sometimes the first time launching a new build has some issues, but subsequent launches work just fine. I'm not fixing shit.

and yes im *so* mad that garbage no one asked for was added instead of promised features

I don't know what this part is referring to. But it sounds like you think only your opinion matters. I'm willing to bet that somewhere out there, at least one person appreciates the things you don't.

also i wonder if the mods just gave up or you have good character development (unlike the game lol) and decided not to report my post

Thanks, I've been working on it for years.

It's not me friend.

I have to agree here. This is not a finished product. And to think I actually bought this one because I've been following it for so long...

 

[OmniFurious]

I can't even finish the 4th level because my minimap is gone and some of the interactions don't work.

Like it's blank or it just went away? You should be able to hide/show it with M by default.

Also I was kind of expecting the actual fragments to provide gameplay benefits of some kind. Like the collectable armor in Megaman X.

There's 50 powerups and 3 different boss abilities(6 if you count the charge shot and ability separately). These function pretty similarly to the armor right? With the exception of only the boss stuff being necessary to beat the game while everything else is optional.
Would it have been better if you needed to explore the levels, unlock stuff, then use that unlocked stuff to beat a boss and move on? Considering the things people are getting stuck at now, I could see that turning even more people away if they were gatekept by things like that.

several cutscenes are still missing in the later part of the game, specifically earth and onwards. It isn't complete yet, but there have been 2 patches already adding in cutscenes, so at this pace everything should be in within the month.

Or alternatively you can join the bitching and moaning here and complain about a very good porn game. Depends what you see as a better use of your time

Except it's not just several cutscenes. From the dev's back and forth with people on the discord server, it looks like a lot of text, dialogue, story stuff, cutscenes, and actual stage content are missing. It also looks like there are a lot of bugs and temporary asset placeholders that didn't get removed. It's an incredibly poor look for launch and begs to question what the devs were really doing and prioritizing.

Like the minimap is completely blank except for icons. It's a confirmed bug HW is looking into, according to the discrod

No. The boss abilities are pretty much the same gimmick the megaman games use for boss abilities, only FF boss abilities recharge over time, and the equip-able powerups are a different gimmick entirely. Almost like finding heart and energy tanks in a megaman game. The armor in the MMX games are a one and done unlock that's permanent throughout the game. For example, the arm parts give you a better charge shot.

Would it have been better if you needed to explore the levels, unlock stuff, then use that unlocked stuff to beat a boss and move on? Considering the things people are getting stuck at now, I could see that turning even more people away if they were gatekept by things like that.

Not even just to help beat a boss, I mean do literally anything aside from collecting all of them gets you the true ending. We already have the golden terminals as well, so having two different sets of things to collect for the same exact purpose is just monotony.

Despite all the faults in the game and the developer hell, I want to marry Talia's voice.

 

[PastaLord]

Did the earth level enemy with a seed implantation scene not make it into the game? Weirded out since that was in a demo from years ago.

 

[DancingPriest]

Huh, I guess the developer really gave up on this game. Kind of a shame.

 

[ChefGennaro]

Huh, I guess the developer really gave up on this game. Kind of a shame.

They never wanted to work on it to begin with, they only wanted the Patreon money

 

[chilidog]

Huh, I guess the developer really gave up on this game. Kind of a shame.

The dev is very active every on single platform the game is discussed, which feels like time wasted. They even respond to some Steam reviews. They say they're working nonstop to fix the game. Either the dev is just really incompetent and a narcissist, or the dev is a liar and a narcissist.

EDIT: I think it's obvious the dev is very passionate about their game. They just mishandled almost everything and gets really defensive when given criticism.

 

[norieelys]

So, I downloaded a save but it still wants me to unlock the achievements before accessing the gallery. Did I need to do something different or am I meant to actually go and do chores in game?

Achievements aren't stored in the "ffdata.sav" file, they're stored in the "ffData_global.sav" file. So you'll need one of those.

I smelled up HW's bullshit years ago when he was talking shit on other forums. He's always skirted questions, played the victim, he and his "team" have been "sick" for the majority of the last 4 years or so. I like the description says, "Genre Bending Gameplay."

In regards to non-con, the only thing I saw (I didn't play the whole game because we all played the whole game like 4 years ago) was the Faye scene with the scraper. That seems to be non-con as Faye asks for help. Also, some game overs are clearly not what Talia wants, such as the Ice Grunts freezing her and spitroasting her. While it isn't what she seems to want, she goes on about big cocks and cuming, so dub-con at best?

At least now everyone can see what I (and others) have always seen. HW is a fucking fraud and a scammer. Leeched patreon money (probably still is) and had no intentions to deliver a good product to anyone. Laugh at this man. And laugh at me, for purchasing the game I played four fucking years ago.
