While most of your arguments are somewhat understandable, I can only disagree with that statement.
For me its definitely the other way around, there are way more good and finished RPGmaker games and a lot more Renpy "click for pictures, 0.01 versions" out there. And most games popping up are all the same, modern setup, family themed for incest. But thats probably also because im looking at both markets, western and japanese. There lies the variety I like.
And most of the other things you mentioned sounds to like a you problem to me. As in, thinking you waste time which could just be called progression, or dont like it graphics wise. At least you were fair enough to acknowledge most of it though. Now thats rare enough, so a cookie for you. If you like cookies, that is.
*eats cookie*
I really shoudnt eat cookies.
I am fat enough as it is.
You are correct.
There are alot of bad renpy games too.
One lession i learned is that:
There where always diamonds(good games) in the mut(bad games).
There is just alot more mut(bad games) now.
The difference between progession and time wasting is what i was talking about.
A good game makes it feel like you a progessing.
A bad game makes you want to press that skip buttion because they wont shut up about whatever there talking about.
One of prefered games is hentai highschool+
A unfished mess of idea's trown togather that is grindy as can be.
But i like the concept, gameplay and the choices it provide.
I tryed(and failed) several times to not use blackmail, hypnosis or drugs to turn people into my personal fuck toy(i am too impaitiant)
But i would still recommend the game.
Simply because it is to me a game where you have options.
You deside how to corrupt the town.
In comparision i dont understand the appeal of stuff like dating my daughter where you have to pick the right choices(aka agree with your daughter on everything) or get a game over.
Yet for some reason it is still populair.
Games are about preference's.
And when i play porn games my goal is to turn people into my personal fuck toy.
I love mind control, incest* and corruption because for me it is all about the mind games.
Turning a prude into my sex obsessed slave is fun.
Turning them into a slut is anoying as i dont want them to fuck others.
I would accauly like to see a porn game where i can turn them into my willing slaves without them becoming sex obsessed sluts.
It is all about the control.
Likewise the quickest way for me to lose interest into any game is when i dont get/lose that control.
*Incest is all about breaking taboo's and getting them to agree to do something that they shoudnt.
It is all about the power to get them to do something they find moral offesive.
For example:
Getting a mother to betray her daughters and help you turn them into your fuck toys makes me feel empowered.
Having them on jump on your dick without even trying is boring as can be.
In short:
It is hard for any devoloper in any game gerne to find the right balance between progression and wasting your players time.
And of all the games i played most of the good once's use renpy, unity, html.
While most of the bad once's used qse, rpgm, rag's.
It is just a mather of experiance.
It is the same with eagames.
I stoped buying from them not because i am boycotting them.
But because i came to associate the name eagames with unfineshed buggy mess.
If i find a good game made by eagames i would buy it.
I am just more sceptical about anything they make.
Same with rpgm.
I would stilll download it if i believe it is worth the risk.
