I don't think everyone likes sandbox games, otherwise there wouldn't be any, would there? That's no excuse. I go on with my work as long as I have and when I think it is appropriate to release.some devs... especially those that are in this community should know by now that people hate sandbox and grind games, so i wonder ZL-Games why you did still go for that in this game, i dont think you are that new to have not know this....
did you do it thinking that it will make it more easy to do updates with less renders, because people are not fools either, they will know how many new renders and animations you added and it being a sandbox wont hide that fact.
what does that have to do with anything, what i was asking myself and you is what made you think it was a good idea to mix grind and that horrible sandbox you have made in the game, sanbox can be not so horrible if you make it like milfy city or some other games that shows you where you have to go next, in your game most of the time you dont know at all where to go to trigger events etc and the grind in other games (mostly have mods so thats why they get some love atleast) your game is not one of the most popular here so it will take time for someone to ever do one so that people can play , the grind and sanbox is something that will have you and the work you put with no support at all.
Some people, like myself, don't mind sandbox games as long as they are properly done - a clear indication what you should do, when, where or if there's a new event unlocked and so forth.some devs... especially those that are in this community should know by now that people hate sandbox and grind games, so i wonder ZL-Games why you did still go for that in this game, i dont think you are that new to have not know this....

and thats what i mean in the second post, if you do the sandbox good enough people will end up not minding it at all, but in this game the sandbox and grind is horrible, i dont know where to go at all and i have to use a walkthrough....... all the time.Some people, like myself, don't mind sandbox games as long as they are properly done - a clear indication what you should do, when, where or if there's a new event unlocked and so forth.
Yes, a lot of people don't like sandbox games, but that doesn't mean NOBODY likes those games, haha
Well sandbox can work if you want players to be able to develop relations with characters in game at separate speeds and without having to interact with all. Cons can be that you can get lost without good hints and devs should be aware that a sandbox is actually more work for them and old scenes need to get updated and/or closed up when they do not make sense anymore considering how far you have progressed in the story. Think The Tyrant is a nice example of that. Quite a few of the interaction scenes do not make sense anymore when you have progressed quite far with the chars.
If you have to do critics on someone do it on me... I'm his beta tester and I'm the one who recommend to him mainly to add the things ( such as the introduction of Beatrice)... The dev has no faults....
I was giving him feedback of how bad his sandbox and grind is, how you have to be reading a walkthrough all the game because there is no hints or mark in the game that points you to the next event etc, if i wanted to be an ass and just critic the game i will go and rate it 1 or 2 stars since the only thing good in the game is the renders, dont confuse feedback with critics.If you have to do critiques on someone do it on me...

Nope, testers advice and might be listened to, devs decide though. If last is not true there is another problem, that often leads to bad and abandoned games is what a long list of abandoned or on long hiatus games, even very popular ones, teaches us.If you have to do critiques on someone do it on me...

I enjoy sandbox games myself. But still going to pass on this particular update. Will wait a few so when I play again there is more than 3 mins of game play. I do enjoy this game, though.
This is all for Ary so far
Didn't know if it was like the girl on the beach where if you keep going something else happens but i'll not bother to keep at it unless someone says otherwise
