The toxic level on this thread is way up there recently... irony is not lost on me that 99% of the people raging probably never paid a cent to the development. I'm not going to pretend I'm a huge fan of the remake but seriously if you play the original and then the remake for free and then still feel the need to come and rage with entitlement on a pirate forum you might have some issues. Just take a deep breath, let it go and play a game more to your liking..... Its for your own good if it gets you that angry. ;)
Ah only praise is allowed, yes? Most people are not raging, just disappointed. And while you can get the game for free here, about half the support of those games come from here

We cannot generalize, myself and many others use this site to discover VNs to support. For instance, I support over 10 projects ( See in my signature), and most of the new projects are posted here by the developers themselves. This was just another one that I downloaded through this site with the intention of supporting.

When I downloaded the remake, I found the game to be very good technically, but I felt it had too little story to evaluate. So, I downloaded the regular version to at least assess the entire plot of the game. What I saw was a game that had not been completed, and I thought it was better than the remake.

From my experience in supporting projects, I have come to the conclusion that this project is heading towards an endless cycle of development, which makes me sad, because this developer has shown great technical skill. He would make incredible games if he had someone writing scripts alongside him.

Exactly.. And I didn't see anyone who straight up bashed the dev. Maybe one.. But overall I saw good critique regarding AI usage and how it worsened the quality of this VN. That's it. Now Discord server on the other hand.. oof. Anime weeb army there will straight up demolish you if you critique this VN like here.

Was there a reason why the MC's ex-girlfriend ran away, or was she a schizophrenic like everyone else in the game?
It's been a while since played

Not, because the story didn't progress in the original

That's why the criticism with the Remake, because you must wait for the story to continue.

"Season" 1 already needed a remake of the story but not the renders. Making a "season" 2 was a mistake, as not all decisions were transferred and character's personalities changed a bit. And the story telling was disjointed and didn't flow well, with some questionable elements. Not taking into account that MC was a wimp.

This game needs an actual writer, but it might have been good enough for a porn game without that AI filter. Poor dev might get into depression again, and the fate seems written: abandoned.

Old version was better. Waited so long for update and got this... Dissapointed.

Maybe just continue old version and use some scenes from remake as flashbacks.

Dude, I understand your point and I agree. But the real culprits are not the developers, but those who finance them. People accept these ramakes and continue paying. And the longer it takes to evolve the story, the more the developers win. Why do you think these remakes are becoming more and more common?
I believe that making games....
Let me say something first, that utopia of donating money to someone to make art, do what they like (in this case games), is in the past, today it is purely business (with rare exceptions), you pay, the developer posts an update (theoretically).
Returning to the subject, making games today is like any other commercial segment. You set up your business (in this case, games), but keep an eye on your neighbor's business, and if your neighbor created something that made more money and with less costs (in this case, remakes), you will definitely want to do the same.
I personally stopped supporting this type of content a long time ago.
Developers always start well, with regular updates, but after gaining the trust of supporters, illnesses begin, family problems, employment problems...
Remake is just what's hot right now.
Can be , i'm not paying shit to play any game and delete remakes after trying.
Does it contain enough content compairing to the original?
Are the graphics/animations better?
Is the lewd the same or better?
If so than i'll be happy to play and keep.
And if not : DEL.

He changed some things in the story in the Remake, especially the past, so there's no way to continue with the old one.

Hehehe, then he would indeed be in trouble, as he would leave unsatisfied those who liked the changes.
It's looking like very few people actually were impressed by the boneheaded decision to reboot using AI filters. If the Dev team is raging over the backlash then that means they're getting that backlash from patrons too. I suspect that the only people who liked this remake are people who - for whatever reason - actually like the AI uncanny valley garbage. For the rest of us, it's repulsive. I don't think I speak for just myself when I say that it's a major boner killer when a girl has 7 fingers on one hand and her forearm is fusing into her thigh.

There is a lot of complaining for a remark, other dev have done it. Either play the play the game or move on.
Well, i don't know how to tell you but...it's a public forum and everyone is free to discuss, criticize or praise a game, that's the whole point of this site y'know?

People complain because this used to be actually a pretty decent game but the dev literally ruins it by remaking it every single time.

He didn't need to remake the game again and use AI (which i'm not a fan of personally), the game was already good as it was.
