some times a small update is needed to scratch that itch or just to test a few thing
That makes sense~ I guess what made me change how often I release updates is that I wanted to make something people genuinely wanted to play, and I wasn't really happy with it before I began the overhaul.
Then later, when Overhaul Part 1 was released and didn’t get any feedback, I took that to mean it maybe wasn’t interesting or different enough from what I’d already released before. So I went back to working on Saeba’s overhaul and focused on taking my time, making more improvements I thought it needed; or just sounded fun, so I could hopefully show everyone something to get excited about! I'd feel kind of bad giving everyone another version where you mostly just run around and test combat again.
But, I really do appreciate your interest in it! ^w^ I wanted to finish or overhaul the physics before Part 2 at the very least, and I’ve also wanted to eventually add more to it to make it more interesting, like NPCs to talk to; quests or story beats to complete; or even an overhauled city area in the Patreon version, so people get a fuller picture of what the game is meant to be~
Realistically though, Part 2 of the overhaul does have to end somewhere, and it has been a while since Part 1 was released! ^w^;;
If people would really like a new version a bit sooner, and don’t mind that it’ll basically be another combat demo, I suppose I could try preparing Part 2 as it is now, and continue working on the rest of the overhaul after that.
and secondly not everyone checks patrions or discords so its easy to miss dev logs and assume something is dead
I guess I do prefer using my Discord server to communicate with people who follow the project, since that’s where I feel the most comfortable~ When it comes to this place, the feedback here is very helpful, but a lot of the reason why I don't visit here often is I honestly don't really like to visit hentai sites, so I don't really come here in my free time... But I do understand that not everyone uses Discord or Patreon, and there are still people here who are interested in Saeba~ so, maybe I can try posting here from time to time if it would make things easier to follow.
im just glad your still working on it, and that you still enjoy working on the game as well. I am super hyped for the next free demo to play <3 Keep on rocking Neko!
Thanks! I'm glad you're still interested in it! :3 It's still my dream game, so I'll continue developing it until the day it's finished. And later if things go well enough, I wouldn't even mind making sequels~!
