Nefastus, Dark version is pretty well written.
Congrats on another banger (pun intended)

Same hereSame here
Just taking a look at the extracted images and not playing the game, made me pass on it.
I'd never want to see the MC behave like that, not after playing the game for soo many years
This is why I can't even think of playing it, but good for Nefastus for trying new genres.> Dark Story
After everything that happens with Jennifer in the game and how much I appreciated being able to beat the everloving shit out of the POS who hurt her, I think I'll give this Dark Story a pass lol
I think an important distinction is he wasn't a bumbling oaf, but he played a bumbling oaf.I personally didn't like him as a bumbling oaf and it seemed like he was becoming dumber each new update. I finally dropped it. Hopefully this makes it better.
I see your point. But as is, the game wasn't for me, but only because of how the MC acted. Maybe this dark path version isn't for me either, as I don't like being an evil bastard. Hopefully it can make me change my mind about the normal version.I think an important distinction is he wasn't a bumbling oaf, but he played a bumbling oaf.
For someone who was a little bit antisocial like Amanda, his foolishness helped her come out of her shell and make friends at University.
For someone who was abused like Jennifer, the ability to have someone laugh at you without you getting angry is a fairly decent indicator that you are not an abuser. You cannot laugh at, or mock, an abuser as a general rule. That will trigger their anger and lead to abuse. Since MC was perfectly content to have people laugh at him and with him, it's one of the things that makes Jennifer feel safe around him.
Obviously this means it doesn't have to be a cup of tea still, but I do think it's an important distinction.
I liked it. Now, as a bit of disclosure I haven't played the default game in a while. Fell behind on updates and my saves didn't work when I did try to play again. This is actually kind of incentive to go back and restart a playthrough of that game, even if that will be nothing like the Dark version. That might have made it easier for me to play the Dark version than others who have played the regular version more recently. It also takes place in its own continuity, so I can kind of sandbox that off in my head..33. Putting a pin in that though, development has run a little long so I am not doing the 10 day announcement thing.
As a side note, I mentioned a little writing experiment I did a while ago. Should be in a public post on my SS. It's a dark universe type thing, so don't expect the fun loving banter. Was practicing writing some darker content like non consent, just to get me out of my comfort zone as a writer. Not going to affect MLC development, but the few people who played it to give me feedback said I should release it. Very patreon unfriendly, so it will only be on SS. Those of you who try it and are into a darker style game would love some feedback.
Not sure if SS lets you see public posts without an account so I also made a twitter for patrons.You must be registered to see the links
Basically just using it for MLC dark, but another way to get ahold of me if needed.
People share their opinions in cases like this mostly because they do not want to see the main game get delayed due to the development of a dark path version they have little or no interest in before the main game is finished. They comment because there is a chance it will affect the development of a game they are invested in, that has been under development for a long time, and make that game take far longer to complete. It is an entirely reasonable thing to write a comment and explain your viewpoint. Now if people enter the comment-sections of a game that is currently the only one a developer is working on and do the same that is different, and probably a big waste of time for everyone involved. Calling people names for having a legitimate concern regarding a game they like is juvenile at best.I didn't realize how many pansies there were on this site that feel the need to share their opinion on why they DON'T like the dark path. Just feels like a bunch of people who dont jerk off to games would come here and say "ehh, not really my cup of tea jerking it to images, but okay I guess." So many scumbags on this earth now
