You might want to stop assuming what people have read or not and writing lengthy essays on it. Stop giving guarantees like '
- The engine upgrades are also why 0.8 required new Save games. This should no longer be the case going forward
Do you know the exact wip? Your entire comment is one big assumption. Maybe open your eyes and read my previous comments where I have stated about promises etc.. Also look at the number of likes to see how many people also realize the same facts.
Is this the first adult game where you've seen engine changes/remake? This is a typical work plan in a lot of patreon/subscriber adult games. They gain a following, write a lot, deliver little and then after 3-5 months, take almost another year claiming their changing/changed the engine and then remaking every existing content. 2 years later you will find little new content. This gives them time to get 'lazy pay' and a lot of time to plan for future content as well (seen primarily in the gaming industry). Abelius may not be the same but he's in a very skepticism laden market due to historical facts and we're seeing similar progression.
Anyway, I am hoping as well that Abelius delivers and that their promise for faster progression becomes a reality, hoping this engine change is great and not a recurring theme. People generally get pissed when potential or good games get slow progression or problems. Devs need to start realizing why a lot of discussion comes up. Greater reception, expectation and discussion doesnt happen to this extent on small and/or lower value projects.
P.S. Sorry for the long text but hopefully it is educational.
