I'm fascinated how some people can turn on Eva Kiss when she has an incredible amount of good will and respect to her name. It felt strange even leading up to the release with some of the accusations thrown around. I suspect they have no context to whom the developer is and are just eager to spin the same old tale that plagues every thread on this forum. Some things just never change. I'm glad to see it's mostly randoms complaining, it is the most logical party to complain since they don't follow the game as well.
To help give some short context:
- She successfully finished a good game after several years of consistent monthly releases. Although it is true she cut that game a bit short in the end to tie it up, she still made it work.
- She has always been very communicative and open in her status reports. Shedding much light in to the development processes and steps taken to improve the game.
- She started ORS on a higher level of quality on almost all accounts. That already high quality has continued a steadfast improvement to this day.
Do the updates take longer? Sure, but they're well worth the wait and have much more thought behind them.
The content of this remaster has been very explicitly stated prior to the release. It is tragic that the development of it was mired down and took longer than expected. It, however, serves its purpose well. She now has a stronger start to the game showcasing the quality she had attained in later releases and she has solved glaring issues she had with the plot. Nothing causes writer's block better than a plot thread you're unsatisfied with or that you feel constrained by. This will most likely save her time in the long run.
That's just my thoughts.
Thanks for reading and as always have a great day!
