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.
