I'm unsure if all the details I work on have any resonation for the players. That ripped leggings alone took me days to figure out and implement, I could just make her undress and I guess it's my fault to be obsessed about the every aspect of the game in a similar manner and trying to make everything perfect. I could just use 10 renders per scene, express the emotions within the text or put a face near the textbox or like mostly everyone does, don't even express them and jump from scene to scene. Or I could do a 5 CG per update game with 3000 lines of text and I would probably nail that too. I would probably get less whiplash if used shit ass AI CG's instead of pouring my heart and soul into a few seconds worth of renders. What you see here takes time. I don't know why am I being called lazy or getting treated like a triple A studio. Sure, "If you don't like it, then maybe you can develop your own game" sounds cliche, but if you are going to claim that I'm lazy, you're gonna prove it. Try to put out 10% of the content of this update with all the animations, custom posing, post processing, writing and audio work within the same amount of time, and prove to me that I'm a lazy (I don't think you are foolish enough to think this is 9 months of work.) Or, kindly refrain from using the word if have no idea what it takes. I feel like I shot myself in the leg by setting a standard for the quality and immersion, and now everyone started to believe all these detailed work magically appear in my hard drive overnight.
Constructive criticism is always welcome, the fever dream notion in the latest review is something that I can fully get behind. It was boring and that dark scene was straight up off putting, but I wanted it to be done for the sake of the story and I think it will look beautiful on a completed game.
If you are going to suggest how I can make things better, I was here for it. But after working myself to mental and physical depletion for this update and finally reaching the time to get a quick breath, just to get called lazy by bunch of people that I serve for free, it feels nauseating. I don't think continuing to read through here is going to have any positive impact for neither this project nor my mental health. You can reach out to me on Patreon or Discord or you always send me a private message from here which I get a email notification for.
So long F95, and thanks for all the fish
