I know that feel so fucking bad. It's awful.But I haven't been able to do that, my hand just stops because there is the Gym DLC that has been put on hold, and it being put on hold has put pretty much everything else on hold.
Everything just circles back to the Gym DLC being on an indefinite holding state. As long as it is not released, I can't do anything else. But at the same time I can't put myself to releasing it.
But this is the same moronic logic that Nintendo gives out to tell us why they won't make any more F-Zero games. Why do people always have to overcomplicate this stuff?And here's the struggle with designing the Gym DLC. It's very easy to see what most players would want. I'll say it, it's something simple as Karryn working out and getting harassed, and maybe even some shower sex related to the prison shower dropped soap trope.
But for one, I don't like repeating same content and choices, and two, I enjoy making something new and different. Sachinama also feels similar in not retrending the same ground. This goes into the broader expectations of what people might have for KP's continued updates.
In a business sense.......... I'm sure the right decision that 9 out 10 people would take in our position, would be exactly what most people want. That is, simply more KP content that is the same but with a different skin. More side jobs, more sex, more costumes, just give 'em a different look and put some spit shine on it.
But I'm personally someone that only enjoys trying something creatively new and different. Making Meltys Quest 2 after Meltys Quest would've been the safe and secure option. However, making KP was thrilling and exciting. We were able to work day and night for four years because we were creating something new and fun.
The Gym DLC was us attempting to add something new, a different spin to KP. It's different from the existing side jobs and content. It wasn't meant to be the same content but in the gym instead. But when we received feedback that amounts to, '...That's it? Where's xyz' It was hurtful and showed the broader disconnect that I've been talking about between how some people see KP (unfinished, abandoned).
If people want more content, then give them more content. It's literally as simple as that. You don't need to reinvent the fucking wheel, no one asked you to reinvent the wheel, no one even wants you to reinvent the wheel because the wheel is fucking fine and that's why they bought it in the first place. For fuck's sake, this asinine logic pisses me off so fucking much whenever it pops up.
