that's the end of the game as of nowso how do we progress i keep dieing to plantrude
Are you absolutely sure that those who pay get a better game than those who don't? Personally, I think that both of them act as free testers (they play, find all sorts of bugs, report on Discord/forum/somewhere else. It's just that there are usually far fewer Patreon testers than othersMy brother in christ the game is still in early development its normal for the dev to fix and rescrap parts he finds lacking and the thing is u are even getting to play it for free tf u complaining about,if u were a patreon and paying money i would understand where u are coming. IMO WE beggars should eat what is giving to us out of generousity without complain)
Criticism only makes sense when it is responded to correctly. And if you are immediately labeled as a hater - consider it allNah, criticism is valid no matter who it comes from. Pirate or patron, the point matters, not whether or not they've given the dev money
Simping for H-game devs by insisting only people who give them money should be allowed to complain doesn't help them, especially if they actually engage with the community where the complaint's being made. What if none of the Patrons catch an obscure but possibly game-ruining bug? What if none of them want to speak ill of something they're putting money towards?
None of this is to say Forlorn Faun is doing bad work, I'm speaking to the bad idea of trying to nullify criticism, not trashing the game at all
Funny, I was coming to repeat the exact same problem with this quest. So far, I am unable to progress in the story because of this bug, and this is not even the first bug I encountered which resulted in me restarting the game multiple times already. The examples being when I go to grab the relic of Zenkami from the chest bug, which wouldn't let me the dungeon as it would keep duplicating copies, and there's the other bug in which I unable to leave the alchemy chart in the laboratory setting. I want to like this game, but holy F*ck this project is beyond frustrating to experience.Encountered a bug when trying to redo the getrude quest after the ecounter with the spiders affter you talk to her ,the game locks you in a dialogue screen you can here sound effects of the your character moving around tho but ithe main gamply screen is overlaid with the face to face dialogue interaction one
and the curser does some weird tomfoolery too

The problem is, the criticism only really works if the dev notices it. They're not likely to do that on a forum dedicated to pirating games like theirs, and they're more likely to see criticism if it's through their communities.Nah, criticism is valid no matter who it comes from.

well, the one that nade this game is hereThe problem is, the criticism only really works if the dev notices it. They're not likely to do that on a forum dedicated to pirating games like theirs, and they're more likely to see criticism if it's through their communities.
Yes there are devs that come to this forum and communicate and take people here's concerns into account, but that's the exception, not the rule.
As far as I could see, criticism in its concrete (and often therefore it seems rude) form has become unfashionable... Or how to say it more precisely. Many people who have something to say, wrap this criticism in 150 layers of cotton wool, because the devil knows how the developer will perceive it - will he be offended? Will he start screaming about hate or some other nonsense?well, the one that nade this game is here
and here you don't have to filter your words and use euphemisms of try not to offend your "beloved" dev, criticism here are more direct and crude and i think that holds more value
(as an example, i told the Randel Tales devs to come here to F95 to see what people RLY think of the new art)

Edit: I managed to side step Gertrude and proceed onwards. However, after the blowjob scene I got hit with a white screen.
The dislike button is actually a really bad example for criticism. Criticism is only meaningfull, if it can give suggestions for improvement. A general I dislike/hate this/you without any given reason isn't really criticism, that is just dislike or hate. To be blunt, if you think a dislike is criticism and not just hate you are clearly not understanding criticism as good as you think you do.And in many places any criticism is immediately declared hate (why is it that on YouTube, Facebook or even here, there are no dislikes, only likes? Is it for this reason?
The dislike button is more of a global attitude towards the product, without going into detail why the person who disliked it thinks so. So to speak, worth a thousand words. On the one hand, the fact that there is no such button protects the topic/post/product from negative evaluation not because there is a reason for it, but just like that (there are also many such people, probably because they cannot be killed IRL yet).About the game itself it is a shame it is so buggy, I really wish the developer would take more time for bug fixing.
That is just your opinion and it sucks. This here is basically a dislike button, just in words, for the people that don't get what I am trying here.The dislike button is more of a global attitude towards the product, without going into detail why the person who disliked it thinks so.

It is also important not to confuse criticism with a bug report![]()
I don't know what this "randel tales" is. And I have no desire to find out."the new are is not as good as the previous" ,"the are is not so good", "i don't like the new art too much"
or
"wtf is this shitty art?", "this is making the game actively worse", "this art is so bad i'll just abandon thing game"
which one makes more clear to you that you are doing something wrong? (talking about randel tales btw) "i want my money back, i didn't became patreon for this" was my case (even if i said i would pay more again when twig is salvageable...
I didn't mean to accuse anyoneOiiii, i didnt leaked nun, im just saying u posted progress on patreon

you don't know because u don't have the context of having playing the game, there is more than enough info thereI don't know what this "randel tales" is. And I have no desire to find out.
But. All the options you listed don't make any sense, because they don't carry any information for the author. The author can't draw any conclusions from this about why his art is a piece of shit and what exactly needs to be fixed so that it isn't this piece. He didn't receive any specific information. Therefore, such phrases are usually not worth paying attention to. But if there is something like (for example) : "this is a piece of shit because the background is too dark" or "this is a piece of shit because the gameplay is too buggy (it is advisable to specify how exactly)" - then everything is fine, the author will know where to look and what to fix.
There are over 8 billion people on this planet, forgotten by all the gods. And everyone has their own opinion. You can't please everyone, no matter how much you want to.
i feel like this version is more buggy than the previous thoYeah, story is just on hold at the moment, I want to get the rest of the games features implemented before focusing story, as new mechanics breaks the story.
Apologies, I'll try and remove this issue in the next update.
