Others Goodbye Eternity [v0.11.0] [RNGeusEX]

[ffive]

I wasn’t equating the fanbases, just pointing out an example where this kind of cooperation between creator and audience worked exceptionally well.

I think it's a bit of a stretch, because we don't know whether the alternative wouldn't be at least as much or even more successful. That alternative doesn't exist, so we can't compare their respective performances.

He could’ve turned it into a light-hearted fantasy romp to maximize ticket sales — but he didn’t.

It could be argued that there's enough of unnecessary and annoying changes that were aimed at exactly that -- like, pretty much inventing "focus antagonists" for each movie simply because that's what the audience is so used to, when there's no such thing in the original material.

That is an absolute shame, hopefully there will be a possibility to avoid it with clear choices at the very least.



I am always disappointed when authors delegate parts of the creative choices to fan and supporters.

I am not talking about what to focus first or minor things like pubic hair on a character, but with major story decisions like this, it feels that the author loses a lot of his agency in the creative process.

I want to play a story coming from the author, not a collective of supporters with no writing talent and different goals.

I completely agree it's the creators choice and even if they say one thing early on you can't expect to keep their promise as it's still their project, even if I'm one of the ones who don't want the NTR I also trust they're keeping true to what they say anyway and its gonna be a save them before they go through with it type deal but even if they don't I'll probably just speed run the last segment to know I 110% the game because the creator put a lot of work into it and if they make a full game I'm playing the full game, I've been following this and Summertime Saga for quite some time now I'm not someone who rushes progress cause I don't know how hard it is to make games of this quality as a side project to whatever else I'm working on so I'm happy whenever I get a notification for a new patch instead of complaining "Finally now bring out the next patch sooner" progress is progress in my eyes plus the creator could honestly be worse like Team Cherry's lack of info for years on end for a highly anticipated game, yes I know I'm comparing apples and oranges all I'm say is take what you get gracefully cause they could just scrap the game altogether if they wanted I wouldn't blame them with the backlash for the choices in their own game

I would agree with you if the game had consistent and worthwhile updates, but it doesn't so what really happens is people who wanted a more vanilla experience will now be getting less content because updates will be replaced with "it's not technically ntr." Optional routes would be fine if he could even deliver the main content at a reasonable rate.

If he wanted to make a ntr game so bad simply wrap up the routes you started and label the game as complete and start a new game because as of now I don't understand who it is made for with such worthless updates and now splitting up content between different groups of people.

I mean, it looks like that kinda stuff is getting added after the mains routes, since there are choices that are just greyed out currently that seem like they'll lead to that. So it really has no impact on those who don't like it. By the time they're getting added, the game would functionally be complete for people not interested in NTR. So, really, what is the issue?
