This is the first time I've seen a review bombardment on a pirated porn game site.
Whatever, I am never played this game, but it's on my watch list. Did he (dev) removed battle fuck system, and added a half cooked card battle system or something? Is that all?

I haven't given the new update a try yet but god everyone's reactions and the new reviews got me terrified

Honestly though why would you remake a game from ground up especially when you had something as great as what the game was already? Is this an early April Fools joke?

for the people that are wondering why people are upset, it would be like the devs of cyberpunk when the game had its glorious shitshow of a launch instead of fixing it (which they did a amazing job of) going ya know what we are not gonna fix the game and instead remake it and turn it into a cyberpunk farming sim :D which sure im sure a lot of people be like okay weird but cool while the rest of the people be like were is the cyberpunk fps rpg game you have been hyping of for 7 years? and this game didnt need to be fixed and wasnt in a bad spot so dont think Saria was a broken game it worked quite well the battle system and the corruption while bare bonus was very good the cg from losing were great i loved the cave one or the fall a check and get hypnosis from the weird eye thing but now its all pretty much gone for and replaced for whatever reason a card game in a VN.

What playing library of ruina does to a man

jokes aside I originally found the world traversal very unweildy and awkward but liked the old combat system, despite the massive grind it entails.

I like this version of the game more but its normal for people to be pissed off that he pulled that much of a bait and switch.
That's generally the problem with patreon based backing, as steering the ship in an unintended direction is bound to severely piss people off.

This is not what people paid for, and the dev could've wrapped up this game and put this idea on the backburner.

now we need hero to make his own version of saria and see how dev die from butthurt
That is what I was thinking, a group of fans could take the legacy version and build their own game, following the direction that the game should take. As the Anal-only Ambassador, it would be a shame if this game gets thrown away to the trash by its own developer.

Someone inquired on Saria Reclaimed discord if the dev will keep developing the game as introduced in 0.16, a VN-like game and he confirmed he will continue with this vision. It will be a game quoted ”VN chapters with lewd things, minigames and temptations.”

l am sad that he changed his vision from the open world and complex corruption system, but it is what it is. Can’t always win. I’ll stay and keep an eye for the bomb art though.

I knew from the get-go he was biting off more than he could chew, he had some great ideas and the original direction of the game was great and he had great foundation to build on but it was just too much so he probably gave up and was like "I just wanna actually finish this game" instead of working on it for 2+ years for a real 5-star game.
He didn't bite more than he could chew. He was keeping up with the premise of the game. His work output was actually impressive in comparison with all the scams you see in this place. Nothing in the development process indicated that he was out of his league, all he had to do was keep working and there would be a finished, quality project at the end. He didn't bit more than he could chew, he just simply gave up on chewing. The usual way this happens is like how the Karryn's Prison dev gave up halfway through development: just start half-assing your game and pretend those features that are totally not setup in the game were never meant to be implemented anyway, and your game dies a slow death, so slow it almost looks like it's alive. This guy, being the impulsive, immature, edgelord that he is just speed ran the process and went straight to the implosion and burn all bridges approach. At least there's entertainment value this way, i have to give him that.

I mean, we've only seen this pattern a billion times. "I've remade huge chunks of the game so it should be smooth sailing from here". Few months later, "i've remade huge chunks of the game so it should be smooth sailing from here", repeat till player and developer interest in the game is completely dead. I don't blame them though, I understand the desire to perfect. It's just sad that realistically, it's a sign that it won't work out for almost every single one that goes through this process.
When that happens you're supposed to make a minimal viable product and compartmentalize all your new ideas for the next project. It's fairer to your backers and more efficient.

Wow, I usually don't comment on this website - like ever, but this one really hurts. This game was shaping up to be another karynn's prison with its battle/corruption mechanic and actually good art. Sure, the gameplay needed a little work but you could see the potential. Unfortunate really, but good luck to the dev regardless.
