Can you post a link for 1.3? Having a simple story with procedurally generated levels so the dev can completely focus on enemies and animations sounds like a perfect plan
Here you go. Disclaimer: I modified the code a little so that when you reach the end of a level it teleports you back to the entrance.

edit: not a virus even if F95 says so.

Why does it go from version 2.5 to version 0.01?

Is 0.01 like a new game? Does it have all the things in 2.5?

hey, why does this literally say VIRUS on it and trigger multiple virus warnings?
Lmao, that's awkward. It seems F95 auto-scanned it with Virustotal and 2/66 have triggered a trojan warning, so f95 added the [VIRUS] tag as safety. Never noticed that before, that's funny.

The file is safe, but you trust me at your own risks.

(But if that can help you feel safer, know that 1) I shared like 10+ mods on F95 like this one or this one and 2) if I really wanted to share a virus, I would have it bypass this VIRUS warning before releasing it, it would be very embarrassing for my ego otherwise )

Didn`t even know that F95 was scanning these on upload, especially knowing how dogshit those virus scanners are...

It is really infuriating to see what this game has become.

First version had 10 high-quality animations and randomly-generated levels, it was already close to perfect, ChimeraZak could just have continued to focus on his amazing art and by now we'd have like 50 enemies.

Instead, he went into a development schizophrenia, constantly changing vision and rebuilding everything from scratch.

First, he decided to redo all the heroine sprites even though the initial ones were fine, whatever.
Next update he decided to add a tutorial section that wasn't needed. Then came long platforming sections, housebuilding, tons of new mechanics, gigantic levels.
New update, oh suddenly the heroine is now a futa.

Over the years the game went from being a short fappable game to being a buggy Metroidvania with immense, empty levels. Because of all these new mechanics, he kept rewriting everything, switching engine, then moving back to the original engine. Then suddenly we announce a new side project. Then suddenly we switch yet again to a new engine for a Steam release. Then suddenly, we cancel the Steam release and now Forest Home is the side project, even though the latest version is almost unplayable due to bugs. We now have version 2.50 available, but the recommended version is 2.35, and the active version is 0.8. It is unbelievable.

To this day, version 1.3 of this game is still by far superior in terms of fappability and gameplay than everything that was released in the next 4 years.

The worst part is that this developer is not a scammer, nor lazy. He IS genuinely one of the best, he just completely changes his mind every week. At this point, he has legit worked thousands of hours on this game, but 99% of it was put in the trash.

Pretty much. I actually do think he might have some kind of mental issue or be low-grade autistic, or maybe really bad actual ADHD and I don't mean that as an insult of course. He really does seem to have a hard time focusing despite obvious talent and unlock so many other creators it doesn't feel like lazy milking.

Or he is just a perfectionist and is unhappy with anything he produces

It could be, but genuine perfectionism is usually signified by readjustment, not lack of focus. It usually shows up with intense focus, actually, lol.

Imagine someone who can't get a picture frame straight, in the perfect spot in the room, so they keep moving it around, shifting, lowering it, etc, again and again without being able to accept it as is and move on. They don't usually give up on it and try another picture, or go set up the shelves and stuff in the garage then come back to it for short moments, etc.
