VN RPGM Abandoned Saria Reclaimed [v0.17] [Velminth]

[Iblis2150]

It's actually wild that the dev made people pay 2~ years for the development of the game, just to scrap most of it and turn it into an entirely different experience.

Hell, there's nothing wrong with making an VN, but it's a fact that the game would've gotten a lot less initial support, if the game was always advertised as an VN, because there's already a billion other h-games that fill that oversaturated type of game.


It's really a sad reminder that you can't trust even the most promising looking games in early access.

I guess there's probably still people either coping or just not checking their subscriptions, but even though the art is nice and all, I wouldn't trust this dev ever again with my money.

Who knows if in a year the game will turn from an VN into one of those 20min puzzle games that knock of candy crush.

I feel I gotta point out that a recent DLC gave you the option to actually reduce her boobage.

Wait, for reals? Like, real-reals?



Now I got to go back and play the game again, lol. Hopefully it's a substantial reduction. I can usually tolerate "unusually big" but man like I said, maybe ~70% of her body weight is in her breasts.

I have the game on Steam so I guess I'll go see if I can find the DLC.

EDIT:

Motherfer, you deceived me. Your choice in breast size is either asteroids or meteors.

I don't entirely hate the new direction, but I will miss the old vision for the game.
I personally do not believe I have any right to be mad about the changes, Velminth wants to do something different so I see no reason why he can't. I feel bad for the people that paid to support the original vision, but that is about it.

But I will certainly miss the original vision. The universe this game was presented interested me WAY more than Karyn's Prison ever did at all, and its combat was pretty fun. At the very least the art will probably remain as hot as its been, and with the reduced workload of the original vision; I hope to see unique scenes for everything we fight.

I was so hyped when I saw there was an update, I had a genuine smile on my face. Saw it was remade but I was like "Oh no...But maybe it's not what i think". As I played the light slowly left my eyes as I watched a massacre unfold before me. Now I'm just sitting here disappointed,confused and sad.

 

[voxsunderland]

Thank god I learned my lesson a long time ago and no longer support Patreon projects no matter how promising they look.

Pay only for the finished product.

That was how I treated Karryn's Prison.

...I mean, it's kinda not finished depending on who you ask, but the amount of content was decent for the launch price.

 

[Gremory Rias]

I think velminth played too much library of ruina and limbus company

 

[fraazx]

Damn, I was one of the players here to see this game get launched and fell in love with the game. At the time, I wanted to support this game but decided not to, due to the... Incidents of games like these. So glad I didn't give money since the game is just...

Hey, I said you could reduce them. I never said how much Also, I think he's working on an option to make them even bigger.

 

[BigJohnny]

From a game to a vn. Can't think of a bigger downgrade.

I just finished the game and don't understand the problem and why people are angry and review-bombing at all. This game now have a direction and I like it. Yes, now it's more like a demo in terms of content but he will add same amount really fast i believe because it's already partly done.

I didn't miss it at all. Previous versions didn't make ANY SENSE, it wasn't even close to Karryn's prison. Combat was divided in 2 parts for no reason (but i didn't check this game for a long time) and gameplay was like: you go and complete a game without any problem and after that you go and lose on purpose to see H (bad game design) - but now it's all solved, yes it's clunky but have direction.

I don't know where you're getting the idea that there's direction, it's way too early to know for sure. Unless you're mistaking an inherently linear format for narrative and interactive direction, which is not the same.

We will see if he has a direction or yet another seed that doesn't sprout and just gets replaced by something else... Valid points on the previous version of the game, but if anything that really should only increase concerns for the new one since the very fact he flipped the table at random really only further proves he continues to be aimless.

It feels and looks like it was done on whim, not with careful and lengthy planning he eased his supporters into by explaining his thought process and WHY he thinks this will be a BETTER choice (longterm, that is).

You don't understand why people dislike bait-and-switch?

And you know the funny part?
Rem and sachinama are making a DLC which gives karryn even bigger boobs

 

[KSmato]

Hearthstone with sex mod. Nothing new.

 

[Kmanlv]

Wow This crap is from Okie. Outstanding work of art. non-moving images in a visual novel. Hey comments, Let's start a friendly riot to bring back the old. game scrap the new visual novel. I like slight changes. not a whole new game; nothing is the same.

 

[Kmanlv]

I personally thought they made a whole new game in RPG format with aspects from original.

 

[Kmanlv]

This sucks.

Yeah I saw, like, what the heck lmao any bigger and it'll be boos with humans attached.

Thankfully, I may be saved. Someone is working on a mod which, also interestingly, turns all the inmates and bosses into females for yuri and futa interactions, and also remakes Karryn... and though they have big breasts, it's like, realistic big breasts, so I'm allll for it.

 

[JUDAEL]

I like it anyway.
..k i said it...now you can massacre me.

Lets just say I have some hope now, that's all.

I just think that he changed everything because he didn't like it anymore or something similar and I respect that, but it's a speculation, I know.

He is wrong here 100% agree.

You don't understand why people dislike bait-and-switch?

I understand only that, yes but I don't feel it's enough to hate the game - it's normal to hate his behavior and approach but not the game itself.
