The longer this game is in development, the less hope I have of it ever reaching it's true potential.
True potential? I'm gonna project a bit here but assuming you're like me and what I assume to be a decent chunk of people here, you don't want this game to hit it's true potential. Lest you forget we've effectively jumped on a ship heading to Cuba hoping to land on Jamaica cause its nearby. This is a Ryona/Guro game based on the devs prior works not to mention the stuff that's already in here, are you sure that what you think the game will be is what the devs want to make? I don't see many people bring it up but the last update didn't just add a new native to fuck yona but expanded the execution and torture options for 3 whole types of natives and there's a tree you can hang body parts on, but everyone kinda just brushes that under the rug or don't actively look at it, but the devs sure spent time making it for our enjoyment.
It's the Fem MC that has a horrific lack of content.
All male MC quests end up with him fucking. Male MC can rape.
Fem MC can do jack s***. Can't even lez out. Not a single yuri animation for her! (and only 2 total in the entire game)
When you remember that the devs are Ryona/Guro guys that's when you realize that Yona's playstyle is to be a victim, and thus in turn know how/where to get her content.
The real problem here is that Yona's playstyle isn't exactly fun for this type of game, because you can't progress through losing all the time. You aren't exactly rewarded for succeeding with Yona, I feel like for most people their male mc is probably a much higher level than yona through usage because of his more aggressive playstyle where you get rewarded in fights against women. Yet this keeps Yona's level low so she'll easily get beaten by enemies which feeds into her playstyle, it wierdly works yet doesn't work at the same time since you need yona to be strong to progress through her specific bosses but if you win too much with yona you miss out on literally all her content. I honestly have no idea how the devs could address this, why would they make a game about bad things happening to a pretty girl?... it's a mystery! I guess make the base building more rewarding for yona, which the devs are slowly doing by giving yona more consenting options.
Nope.
A lot of mechnics are shallow, a lot of things comsmetic.
And things of interest to me seem to be at the bottom of the priority list (if they ever get done).
Furthermore, the way the devs are going about it just creates exponential workload, because they are using far too many skeletons/models. They could have just used native girl as a template for Yona (and others) with just some special parts for them. That way, poses/animation would be more re-usable.
I don't know(i really don't) but wouldn't that make the unique characters not unique? The way the different characters move and stuff is different if they were all based off one template they'd all effectively be the androids.
Look i'm a relatively new guy on these forums and in this scene really, i'm sure some of you more seasoned guys saw a lot of promising titles just die or fail to meet expectation but I don't get why you would bring that here. These devs have made a game before, not only that they shipped a complete product several times before and this work they are now making has a greater scope than any they previously made so it should take a while. Yet for what they've done so far it is very promising. Why not give the devs the benefit of the doubt and not call doom before we see any tangible sign of failure. The only thing I find concerning is the half ass excuse they gave for not expanding their group, on that issue alone I hope they don't burn themselves out making this.
