Well I have read Sumo's full post on Patreon and based on that, I more got the feeling that Sumo took a little distance from his own feelings and thought about some of the criticisms and came to the conclusion that some of those criticisms had more merit as he liked and he decided for that reason he needed to rework the game for his own reasons. Well at least I hope that is the case, if he would rework the game just to appease people without his heart being in it I would def advise him to move on to a new project and take the lessons he learned from this game to heart.I don't know if I'm a fan of this development.
No, the ending was good but not perfect and Yes, I would have liked some fooling around with Nikki at the end.
But it feels to me that fans pressuring the writer to change his story....I'm not a fan of that.
I like to play the way the Dev had it in his mind. I do not mind fan criticism and I do not mind the Dev changing his mind halfway through the story.
But this feels like the dev was "forced" to change his story, due to over the top criticism on his ending.
The dev needs his fan, so I understand him buckling under pressure, but this just feels wrong to me. Imagine DrPinkCakes changing the outcome of the Fire in Acting lessons? Then it's not his story anymore.
I'm sorry I don't like this.
Now personally I would not mind a twist if he would like to keep the low self confidence Nikki theme, to maybe have Nikki come out that her trying to get Tales out of his shell was also a test for Tales to see whether he would still love her (the one she cares most of in the world) if had relations with other women.
We people with self esteem issues like to do such stupid things and it would also explain why she finally did decide to make their relation sexual when she was a bit to successful in getting Tales out of his shell, since she was afraid to lose him and base Nikki's growth and endings based on that finding out that Tales either would choose her or if chooses someone else, he still loves her just as much as he always did and find freedom in that and happily settles down with Tales, Tales and Molly, with another guy or if Tales is only man she trusts and not available with another woman (Nikki swings both ways sexually after all and she seems to have more healthy relationships with females as males overall). Up to Sumo though how he sees it and wants to change it.
