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

[Cakeey]

The game got entirely scrapped and its not even 0.16 anymore but a 0.1. Honestly this was abandoned and he just made an entirely new game with nothing new, the combat sucks, the menu is weird, everything about it is just weird and generic. I really liked the old game, i have no idea what he has on his mind.

The way he went on to call it a "Legacy game" and just release this abomination as a remake is a yikes from me. But good luck to him i guess, lost interest.

There are more games, that scratch the Karryn's Prison itch, but most are Japanese.

Of the more "Western" ones:

I wish Lilith Descent would focus more on the H-battling part, but instead it keeps introducing new characters:

Cyberslayers is also one of the candidates where you wish the dev would lean more into the H-battling, but there's enough side content to be more "forgiving":

I also like where SnakeByte Blue is headed; but it's still rough around the edges:

Thanks very much! I will have a look through these.

i feel like dev and artist must be separate entities for a project to survive bad ideas and implementations

Did the rpgmv dude costed that much that you would abandoned rpgmv

 

[Lighto]

This game just ended, so fucking promising... Fuck me, what a shame.

 

[HikkiG]

I'm noticing people upset about the change in gameplay...

But how's the porn tho?

Battle-fuck? Almost entirely scrapped, dev hated it. Only exists as a loss condition/timer now.
CGs? Almost all entirely cut, and going to be slowly re-introduced as he remakes areas of the game. All you're getting is lose battle RNG CG, and click to unlock image CG. Alot of it is just going to be recycled too. Good art though.

What's the O/U on this getting abandoned now? I give it six months.

Nah, voting on "drip-fid for pennies, forever dev" mode.

 

[Elveskudd]

Nah, voting on "drip-fid for pennies, forever dev" mode.

Im guessing he will take about a year to re-add CG that he cut now and claim it as "updates" and when he runs out he will probably just abandon it then and there. Unless he decides that hes making another remake, but this time as candy crush clone

Oh no, its far worse.
Hes rebuilding it as a Ren'py game IN RPGmaker.

Given he literally told his Discord and Patreons to Simp or Ban?
My money is he has an epic meltdown by easter as the money and praise dries up.


Honest someone just needs to crack it open and mod 15 content with 13 combat and call it day.
Dev already burned his patreons and his discord, just salvage whats left.

Got any more?

 

[Eman-Resu]

Damn this game used to be one of the ones I was majorly looking forward to every update but this new update murdered its chances. RIP Saria, you were sacrificed by a delusion

EDIT: Also as a side-note a lot of the tags from previous updates no longer fit (i.e. anal, monster, side-scroller, adventure)

 

[Runastia]

does someone mind giving the last non fucked up version again? Just from reading it i wont download the newest update.

 

[aaryncage]

I guess i can add this to the list of games that gets abandoned or dragged on, why is it the games that have the best art and writing are the ones that get fucked over? this game, Future fragments, crisis point extraction, that farming sim, and im sure im forgetting alot of them, but jesus christ is it getting sad that so many of these games that have such a high potential crash and burn, im in the wrong business i need to spend a month or 3 learning how to draw digitally and program and just not be a douche or wanna milk people and i'd be rich

 

[glyndas]

Just to make it clear.

Yeah nope, this is just borderline criminal act at this point. Everyone who paid for RPG "Legacy game" and instead got some VN trash with 5-10% of initial features will be able to sue him in the future. This is false advertising, scamming, bait n switch and the list goes on. You cannot advertise a product, get paid in full for that product and then dropship some cheap trash from China for your "customers" (and later harass them lol). I have no idea what that dude is thinking about, maybe he thinks he won't be sued cause it's adult game and the supporter base would be ashamed to sue him or he is scamming foreigners so "no threat at all".

P.S I didn't paid and i'm not furious etc. it's just my honest opinion.

Breeding Season remember that old gem

 

[majespecter]

Can you unlock new cards in .16? I don't see many ways of beating some of the chapters without rng helping out a lot if you can't.

Breeding Season remember that old gem

That one is such a special disaster it deserves it own category, especially with the whole artist fucking over the team to sell his own scam version of the game.

 

[OrgansMissing]

I think that people are catastrophizing a little hard.

I quite liked the game previously, and I'm not stoked for the changes. It sucks to lose moments like walking into that wasteland after the first little town with the huge background and the wind. That shit slapped. That's just a great moment, putting the porn aside.

I'm not against a format that involves more actual storytelling. It was a little light previously. I enjoyed aspects of the sex combat system. I didn't enjoy it being a grind. I do like the new combat system in general, though I dislike how easy it is to get one shot from turn one if you're just unlucky. I'm not sure if a VN is the best option really. But I like the devs art, and enjoy the setting. It's really too early to tell if this has reduced it to being a worthless experience or not. The new art is good as always, and as long as the old art gets reintroduced, I have no problems on THAT front, at least.

But I do miss the player freedom. I enjoy a less linear system, and was mostly looking forward to that being fleshed out and story being added to that. But I'm not about to lose my shit over it. Maybe later. For now I'll wait and see. I'd be disappointed if I was giving money. But I'm not, and stuff like this tends to be why. Y'know on top of poverty. There are a few projects out there I'd be willing to give money to if I have cash to throw at niche porn games, but switching things up to this degree is the sort of thing that makes someone hesitant. Well. Regardless. I understand being disappointed, I'm a bit disappointed to. But like c'mon. No need to go nuts. I'm willing to give the dev time to prove himself.

This is my first comment here, ever after years of use on this site.

This was my most anticipated game. I looked forward to the updates eagerly as months went by. I open up finally and see the dreadful comments. I download and play, maybe assuming it's not as bad as people say.

Yeah, it's that bad. I don't get let down very easily, heck, I don't remember the last time I was.

This is a bitter, catastrophic disappointment.
