It's probably going to take a few more versions, not just 17, before we and Vel get a full bearing of how the game is going to play from now-on. There is so much that has to be rebuilt.
But yeah, all we can do is wait.

I think the biggest issue, and why the response has been the way it's been, is the fact that this isn't the second rework the game has endured. It's hard to have any faith in the project long-term when the dev's vision keeps changing every few updates.
Personally I won't complain since at the end of the day, this is free entertainment for me (never subbed, never donated, stolen laptop, neighbor's wifi), but I can't fault anyone from souring over the project.
Do I have any faith the project will ever get the completed tag? Sure, if it's a rushed final version that cuts a lot of features, but I legitimately can't see this game being completed with how it has been going so far. Maybe if more hands get involved in the project, otherwise, I can't say I see an end in sight.

It's difficult to justify supporting the developer any longer with my money through Patreon, after having tried 0.16. Velminth should just start drawing comics instead of trying to create a game if this is the new direction he's taking.
Honestly, I have tried this game on release, and I remeber how god awful it was. I never thought its gonna be good. I still think it has a decade to go to be anything in the realm of karryns prison, but the author has good art, and he clearly does not give up and tries to get things to become better. As much as the game changes, I think it can still change a lot.
The biggest problem I have with 0.15 is that each new patch started to have meaningless amount of content. The way the game progression is built is that it lacks streamlined gameplay. Even the game map is not very clear where to go and why.

Okay... First things first... I respect that this is entirely Velminth´s project and he can do watever he wants. And I have to add that I am not a patron of this one...
BUT...
I have enjoyed this game so much till version 15.2, but this change is something I did not even think would happened... I just wished to have more of the same and the game was 9/10 in that department. But this is personaly something I do not enjoy at all. Just wanted to say that, take it please like constructive criticism, because so far I really loved this game.

Anyone saw no comments on the itch.io page? Not sure if dev is trying to damage control and save face.
Yeah, they're gone, I was sure they were enabled before

Not sure if i should laugh or be concerned for the mental state of Velminth at this point. Knowing me, i will go with both

Oh, they were. I was on there the other day. The first one I saw was someone asking what happened to the game. Seem like the dev is trying to save face after this recent update blew up in his face.

It's a little depressing to see the dev deal with feedback this way, even if it's mostly negative or given in a 'rude' manner, disabling comments, insulting users, and generally being barely above a petulant child are not things I would have expected from him since he seemed mostly chilled out tossing memes around in each update poster. Disabling/Deleting the comments on Itch was definitely the most pathetic thing he's done IMO.
Oh well, I'm still moderately hopeful that he's going to make a good VN, but that's assuming that the game direction doesn't change again in a year or so.

I wish I had your optimism. I don't have any faith in the game's future if the dev continues to act like a massive douche. Plus, disabling comments is honestly a massive bitch move unless the comments are full of bots, which was not the case with Itch.
On a positive note, Future Fragments should be coming out in a few weeks, so there's something for me to look forward to.
Did... the hell freeze over, will the world end now that it's actually over?
Shame with Vel though, I really don't understand why he keeps tripping over his own feet.

I think a card system is fine in theory, and everyone expecting it to be fully developed right away is being unreasonable. Traditional rpg combat gets dull fast and doesn't mesh with the erotic elements either. I think the cutscene system helps with making bosses feel special, and it makes scripting sound cues, etc easier. Having said that I think most of the content should be from cards and each should have cut-in effects for both Saria and enemies. It would also work thematically that Saria is being corruppted by her opponents and mimicking what they've done to her is how she learns the erotic cards.
Sad too, tbh. I used to like this game a lot.

Same! It was in need of content and polish, but had a lot of promise.

It`s not that RPG combat is dull, some devs is dull. If you think about game more than 5 min and look at success JRPGs you can do something like Jack of Nine Tails or ToA. But if you lazy, uncreative and think inside the box, nothing helps to make things more interesting. Card`s random don`t make miracles.
