Good luck with this, brother. I really hope you can end up making something better than the original.

- Thread starter UnfetterSangria
- Start date
Unless you have more initiative than cards drawn each turn, I'll start with the balancing after it gets a little more shape. The engine is Godot by the way.
Please refrain from rating this game, there is nothing yet, and dev did not abandoned game. Somehow he is true, the old saria game was totaly garabage in core aspects, except: porn. Lets see where this one reach)

when you gotta rework a game just so we can get enjoy a dark skin protag, I need to find new games like that.
I do not know much about the dev for the orginal game or why people dislike him, but not sure if it the best idea to do this without the premission of the orginal dev. If you cannot get premission maybe it best to make a game similar but have diffrent character design that are your instead of littery taking from the orginal game.
Long story short. Dev did some changes to the game not everyone agreed with. It was minor at first with Cards. Fair nuff but things were still going smoothly. Despite the passive aggressiveness from all sides.
But then... they completely started over going full visual novel, confusing everyone, and it was a whole thing. Two years more or less down the drain and worse it was like a reboot.
And then there was one for now final update and the dev moved onto a new project.
Well good luck with whatever your intentions are. And with whatever potential response velminth gives.
Idk how I feel about what is essentially art theft... but I mean. Whatever man. If you can give us essentially a less buggy version of the game right before Velminth remade it, as far as I'm concerned he should pay you for the labor. Beyond that? we'll see what's what when it becomes relevant.

I first play this game a few month ago and it was only the car and vn part of the game but that still crazy though, I seen games done that before, changing the entire game after a few year in deveopment and alway that that a sign that it might not get finish (though not always) though that might be me.

2 years of development, falling from promising turn-based/free-roam rpg corruption game to inanimate visual novel with card-battle system.
Honestly I seen game take way more years of development to completely flip their game so not the worse I seen but still kinda bad.2 years of development, falling from promising turn-based/free-roam rpg corruption game to inanimate visual novel with card-battle system.

Original dev unfortunately showed a strong lack of direction in what he wanted the game to be. Despite the original game creating quite a following and showing himself to be quite the talented developer... They decided to release a surprise update that completely changed the game. The story, gameplay, etc all changed. It went from a side-scroll adventure game into a.. very poorly running Visual Novel (with I believe only one fight scene, though could definitely be incorrect.) built inside the RPG Maker engine..
(Which admittedly, creating a visual novel in RPGM isn't an easy feat to accomplish but... completely destroying all aspects that made fans follow the game in the first place rather making it a "spin-off" or [another] side project was an interesting choice).
Since the VN update, there hasn't been any news on Saria from what I've seen beyond the game being labelled as "On-Hold" on f95. His focus based off of his patreon seemingly focusing on a new project called "Cogito Line".
While for sure, ethically speaking this could be considered some-what wrong to do without permission, since this version of the game doesn't even exist anymore, it's practically abandonware with the original devs new project (VN Saria Reclaimed) just sharing some assets with it.
Not to mention, F95 as a whole isn't exactly built around doing the "Ethically correct" thing to begin with...

Was never a big fan of the cards system personally but that could also be because it was never fully developed and balanced out. Though would think the original system would be somewhat easier for you to build upon since you're planning to focus on coding rather than any art but...
Nonetheless wish you luck in working on this. Very glad to see a version of the original (well... at least somewhat an original version since you're rebuilding it) being available since there's so few high quality games of this genre. Game always had the potential to be the next Karryn's Prison and showed such promise.
