Please dont bring that name here...its a big fall from grace from when it start out great...I don't think anyone would mind the delay, Sel has a lot of street cred. As long as it's not Waifu Academy type of situation, all the delays will be expected and easily forgiven.
Selebus from his statements comes off as a guy who wants to do this mostly for himself, the money's nice but he clearly has a vision of what he wants this game to be.I don't think anyone would mind the delay, Sel has a lot of street cred.

Not in the slightest, actually, I would rather have as much quality as he can put into it.I don't think anyone would mind the delay, Sel has a lot of street cred. As long as it's not Waifu Academy type of situation, all the delays will be expected and easily forgiven.
That is correct, he has said this is a passion project several times, which means everyone and everything else is secondary.Selebus from his statements comes off as a guy who wants to do this mostly for himself, the money's nice but he clearly has a vision of what he wants this game to be.
It also helps that this Renpy and not Unity or some other shit, it keeps things from taking too long.
(Though i guess people can fuck up renpy games as well, just look at Ecchi Sensei...)
I won't be able understand this part of your criticism without you explaining what kinds of things constitute "development" in your eyes.And anyone that isn't generic doesn't have much development.
All of the girls have changed in some way in my playthrough perhaps there's not enough lewds for you? This isn't that type of game the dev will tell you that. I agree with you about the backtracking though...and please for the love ofThis is going to be an extremely controversial opinion - this game absolutely sucks and I do not understand the amount of love that it gets. I just played through for the 4th time beginning to newest end, and there is very little enjoyment to be had here. For starters, every character is an extremely generic model. Yes, there have been more added with a little 'flair' since the start, but none of them have much of a storyline yet. And anyone that isn't generic doesn't have much development. Oh, you got this girl that you liked's affection to 50? Guess what? She's still going to be acting the exact same that she did at the very beginning. The story was good for awhile, but it gets extremely old. 'You're going to reset the world, huh? Oh you're going to do it again? Oh and again?' The whole 'God is dead nothing is real surreal and crazy shit is happening something's buried beneath your feet' schtick was actually really interesting to a point, but it's incredibly old at this point and I got exhausted from it. The further along you go the more it happens and I just found myself skipping through it all, which brings up another point - there are times where you need to recall certain things that were told to you in a 10 million line game. You literally have to read every single line in this crazy-long game to be able to answer to proceed. And you'll be completely stuck if you don't have a save to go back to try to find out the answers. And I'm going to be honest, all of that would all be completely forgivable, except there are MISSABLE EVENTS. So beyond all of these things that you're juggling in this trashheap, you have to be constantly checking walkthroughs or wikis to make sure you're on the right track. This is straight up a not fun game to play.
No, you don't, you do have the option of writing important details down the first time so as to not have to go back or to have to remember (at this point, I have an entire notebook for this game alone for things that stood out as potentially important). Then there is also the replay function specifically added both to allow replays as the name suggests and to allow players to go back to important events at any time without losing progress. The skipping part might be your problem, skipping is an extremely bad thing to do in this game, you are likely to get yourself stuck doing that because, yes, the text does give important things you will need later.This is going to be an extremely controversial opinion - this game absolutely sucks and I do not understand the amount of love that it gets.

If I had to guess based on the vast majority of users and what site we are on, sex scenes is what he means. Remember that there is a prevalence of sex centered games that leads to a sex centered mindset as far as what the majority of people want from a game on this site. This game goes completely against that mindset, so anyone with that mindset would see few sex scenes as lack of development even in a game that is story centered with a side of sex. Generally speaking, you are correct in what constitutes development.I won't be able understand this part of your criticism without you explaining what kinds of things constitute "development" in your eyes.
In my eyes, every character has gone through development. Even characters that haven't had a whole lot of events (like Yasu, for instance) have got a nice little chunk of development.
The ways I define significant development, FYI, are:
- Significant changes in a character's core personality
- Significant changes in a character's relationships or feelings towards other characters
- Deeper aspects or different sides of a character's personality beyond their surface-level traits being explored.
Will tell users that and HAS on multiple occasions.All of the girls have changed in some way in my playthrough perhaps there's not enough lewds for you? This isn't that type of game the dev will tell you that. I agree with you about the backtracking though...and please for the love ofGODGod use paragraphs.
Well noted - updated my comment. And it has nothing to do with lewds, I was loving the story for a long time. But it hits a point where, like I mentioned, it becomes exhausting. For every step forward one character takes, 3 characters take 2 steps back. I understand that may be someone's cup of tea.All of the girls have changed in some way in my playthrough perhaps there's not enough lewds for you?

You know what? You're absolutely right. I was sitting here, trying to find a way to refute, and I cannot. They all have. I guess this all stems back to A) me not being a very patient person and B) always wanting everyone to be happy. I finished the most recent update and just felt, empty. And I didn't like that. But maybe that's the point. I withdraw my criticism.

Wow, are you playing the wrong game.always wanting everyone to be happy.
Would "the plot and character's arcs don't really have distinct beginnings/middles/ends to them, everything just very gradually moves forward all at once in one big morass so the story rarely ever leaves you satisfied/fulfilled" describe your frustrations with it? Like you're climbing 20+ mountains and it barely ever feels like you've hit a checkpoint, let alone a peak?You know what? You're absolutely right.

Yes, that's a good way of putting it. But after looking over some of the responses to my criticism and thinking things over, I've actually changed my opinion. It's a nice change of pace, and I'm actually in for it now.Would "the plot and character's arcs don't really have distinct beginnings/middles/ends to them, everything just very gradually moves forward all at once in one big morass so the story rarely ever leaves you satisfied/fulfilled" describe your frustrations with it?

Because that's kinda what I'm picking up from what your saying, and I can certainly agree that that is how LiL feels, even if it's not something I particularly mind myself.

Unexpected, it seems I jumped the gun on my guess, lack of lewds is a common complaint. I can honestly say I don't see characters taking steps back in development. I could maybe see the resets doing that, but it is intentional, that's how the resets work, they remember little to nothing of the previous cycle and any changes those memories or memories from a previous cycle would have made are lost.Yes, that's a good way of putting it. But after looking over some of the responses to my criticism and thinking things over, I've actually changed my opinion. It's a nice change of pace, and I'm actually in for it now.
I have to say that this is the last place I'd expect to find such a sensible and civilized response to disagreement. It's refreshing to witness after having spent an inordinate amount of time on Reddit and other social media sites.You know what? You're absolutely right.
