You weren't negative at all, it's fine.My comment may have seemed negative. So I'll try to put it into context.
I discovered this game with version 0.20. I'd never played it before.
I don't know if I'd want to start a new game with each update just to discover new content added at the beginning of the story, because I find the grind to build respect, love or domination a little tedious as the hours go by. The same goes for farming money. In fact, I used URM in the last few hours because I was tired of doing the same thing over and over again.
No, you don't need to start the game again, as long you don't clear your saves or something big is changed on the code. But till now I've played the game with the saves I had since start instead once. I don't know about this specific update though, didn't play it yet.
The characters are what most people like atm, yes it's AI, but it is used to smooth it, the dev still makes it's sketches and only in the end he uses the AI to "uniformise" the art. The dev still tries to implement ideas and feedback, like the bath events. I would like a corruption route over a full split between hatred and love, since I like kinky stuff but with still a show that the girls like and don't fear the MC, but it's personal taste I guess.On the other hand, I really like the characters, the overall quality of the game and the story.
As I said above, so far there were no worries. There was one release (but this is a personal opinion) that indeed had less content for the time of it's development, I believe it was 0.17 if I'm not mistaken. But the dev said since start he was at a process of changing from part-time to full-time and leaving work at the time, so that may be the reason, I dunno. But the other releases were normal, and as I said the dev is pretty comunicative on his discord. He was actually around here for quite some time, but the uproar about the paywall and people insulting and blah blah made him go away, which I don't blame him.I'm worried about the game's develoment. There are lots of ideas (too many, perhaps?), plot twists and possible storylines. Given that the game has already been in development for a year, I wonder whether the developer will see it through to the end. F95 is full of games that have been abandoned or poorly finished during development.
I was just joking with you. I have the same opinion about Big Brother, simply joked because the reworks of that game reproduce faster than anything else.As for my ironic remark about “the Big Brothers”, they all suffered the same curse. None was ever finished. It's become a recurring joke at that level. Once again, I really hope that House of Shinobi will go through with its development and not be abandoned or rushed. Nevertheless, the latest information from the developer doesn't reassure me.
About your concerns, so far the dev gave no reason for fans to think that way. I can't not speak for the future though, I only can say that at least so far the dev is pretty communicative and down-to-earth with his fans. And even himself knows my stance on how I dislike the unlock option. That time could be invested on the game instead and more people could support the game more. It's like Sonic Mania, me and many other people ended only buying the game with discount after Denuvo was finally removed. But again, it's my personal opinion, the development direction is his, it's his project after all.
