People have the right to express their opinions and preferences as long as they do it politely. Especially since the new game will affect the development of the previous game to which this thread is devoted and which everyone here likes (I presume.)
The dev has stated on Patreon that the development of Rainy Day will stop until she releases her new game in January or February. After that, she says, the development of Rainy Day will be altered and she'll probably release shorter updates every 2 weeks.
My experience tells me this never turns out well for starting devs like her, without much support yet and without a team of people collaborating with her. One of the games is bound to end up "on hold."
I hope she doesn't burn herself out, Rainy Day is a fantastic game.
I think there are a few things that go into Red switching focus from Rainy Day to her new project: Bitch Squad.
As she said in earlier posts, she worked for months on Episode 5, but after it came out, her patreon numbers didnt really grow. Kinda hard to stay enthusiastic for a project when the support clearly isn't there.
Which baffles me as I love this game (aside from the
rape of Roxana), and from what I've seen, most people who play this game love it. I don't get why more people wouldn't throw some support behind her if they want her to continue this project.
Knowing that, I can understand Red wanting to try something different to see if there will be more support out there for a different genre of adult game, especially with having worked so hard for months to feel like it was for nothing. That can burn a person out creatively.
For myself, I do not play games with female or shapeshifting protagonists.
In fact I specifically use the "Latest Updates" page and filter by "male protagonist."
I am a self inserter (giggedy), so I prefer to only really play Harem games.
That being said, I know Red is a quality writer and makes gorgeous fucking renders, so I'm happy she's enjoying making this new game and I'll give it a fair shake and still support her while I wait for more Rainy Day.
