Look, I understand that you like your work and that you are proud of it. To a point, I even agree with you.
The thing is... it is a sandbox. There's an option to turn off mini games, yet, I still get mini games. There's an option to turn it into a VN, yet it is still a sandbox interface. You say it isn't a grind, but how can I know if it isn't if at the second scene it crashes... and your solution is: to move to sandbox.
You are belaboring in a wrong assumption I think. A VN is NOT a badly coded or limited sandbox. In fact, it is nothing sandbox. It is a streamlined experience, with choices in KEY moments (not every second step) and that doesn't require the player to move between rooms to chase where the content may be.
I didn't try the sandbox, because I detest everything about them, from the need to be looking for the content by clicking in the right room at the right time, from managing this or that for no reason at all but to pretend that it is necessary to be doing something stupid to kill the time, from the content itself that is episodic and HAS to be repeated in a certain order... I simply got fed with this after the first one and I've tried several...
By your words, it seemed that you were doing something original, something different, I wanted to give it a chance, I am always happy to be pleasantly surprised. I wasn't. Not original, not different. Just more of the same, but worse... it didn't even work.
I understand that this clearly is NOT for me, and only wanted to give a heads up about the bug.
If you ever build something with a real VN interface, I'll give it a try, but calling a non-working lobotomized version of sandbox, a VN is really a bit much and if I didn't already disliked sandbox, that duplicity alone was enough to put me off your game.
Please understand, I have nothing against you or your game, that may even be amazing, I am simply absolutely tired and bored with the sameness of ALL Sandbox "games". Seriously let it die already. If you have a story to tell, great, tell it. When you don't, you do a sandbox, I guess...
Peace
