Well, the "asset issues" could have easily been prevented by using another renderer and he was using copyrighted Square-Enix Nier:Automata music...
I dare say the dev doesn't have a habit of making smart decisions.
The current update (which was pretty huge compared to to previous ones) also just gave the dev about 15 more likes and an extra 38$ in Patreon income...
This suggest it flopped and the game fails to attract new users, which may lead to it being canceled.
I don't want that because I enjoy it despite its major flaws.
I didn't check the game's source code, but in my experience different choices before chapter 2 just give you a few lines of flavor text (+ path points) and then everything continues as normal.
In chapter 2 your only choice is pick-a-prostitute, which doesn't seem to have a consequence so far (not a real choice).
So as far as I see it your only choice is which path you want to play and the rest is like a kinetic novel.
I don't remember calling the whole game trash.
Just like I said... I dislike most aspects of it, but the story is good.
My mods don't fix the game, they make it playable for me and probably would for many others, that think female character models would be more believable as female/futa characters, not men.
However with how unpopular the game is I'm afraid most people have it on ignore already.
Me not having released my updated mod yet (still need to finish 1 path) doesn't help either, but I doubt it would even make a difference at that point.
Realistically the dev would have to make an option to let players choose their preferred gender pronouns for the female character models and actively advertise this.
But since it took 8 months to even implement instant text speed and the dev isn't even here, that's unlikely to happen as well
I'm afraid this game has no future.
