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

[Ifllslonly]

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 B

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.

>game got changed from something people like to not-a-game which people don't like
>uhh, you can't hate that
Boo-hoo.

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.

What is the point and sense of image scrolling? What's up about direction? I don't get it.
There're no animations, no sprites, no open-world, nothing. Just a piece of static crap. Just go to the gallery and watch all of the CG's instead of scrolling and playing a mediocre card game.

Anyone got some other titles with dark_skin/tan tomboys?

[Kmanlv]

There was a poll they made so its forever changed

Found old version zip files in the recycle bin. Uploading them for posterity.

Didn't the previous version also use cards but still remained a game instead of a vn?

RIP Saria...

If I remember correctly, the card system was added in v0.14

No animations in the future? I just genuinely don't know.
What about actual corruption system, battle-fuck, actual gameplay? Mediocre card game can be fixed, maybe?
Open-world is cool if there is something to do, no?

 

[5Tom51]

yeah ok the new update is horrible.

History of this game:

<= v0.13
Everything went smoothly, game was fun and had potential

v0.14
Trashed combat system to card battles. Noone really liked that and reviews went down to 3.5 stars.

v0.16
"I remade the game from scratch"

...
I expect this to be Abandoned soon

Update: Reviews are at 2.5 stars now....

I wont deny that older version were already good and had some proper battle system and flow !
But people that pay him vote to be card battle vn game ! So hope when i visit it next time to have

For now, none of that. After receiving a lot of criticism, Vel decided to implement something that combines elements from both the old and new versions of the game in the future. He even added this plan to his Trello board as an explanation. However, he later deleted it, and from what I understand, the game will remain in its current form.

This is the first time I see a H game where the devs didn't abandoned the game but rather fuck it up

So, long story short, no point in keeping this game on my watch list after this whole 'rework' debacle since there seems to be no hope of it returning to the old genre?
