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

[BigJohnny]

Try reading the whole comment first. And think about audience behavior in the context of audience benefits.

I did read the whole comment. Still there's nobody denying him the right to do whatever he wants with his game. People don't like what he did and complain. If you have a problem with that, too bad.
As for the "context of audience benefits", that's a funny situation because bait and switch rarely benefits the audience. Good example right here, audience got sold on an rpgmaker game with battlefuck/KP mechanics and got shafted for some VN bs. https://f95zone.to/threads/saria-reclaimed-v0-16-velminth.114058/post-12698397
So how exactly does this benefit the audience? Try thinking for a second before making another post.

I think pirates don´t have the right to complain about a developer changing their game.

To be fair, the creator has always released public versions of the game. You can't call it pirating when it has always been free. I am unsure if supporters get the drop earlier(I am assuming) but he has always released every update to the public.

 

[Trickstar]

No one is denying him anything, that is just a dogshit excuse to defend him basically telling his supporters he could care less about their opinions, ideas and more.

People are criticizing him for remaking the game and removing most of the content because he just randomly felt like it not being able to accept criticism and shitting on anyone who dares call him out.

Why stop there? I don't think people should complain on a pirate site about pirates complaining.

I personally liked the first version the most too and the second could totally satisfy my fun as well with a lot of finetuning. But people in this forum play the games for free. We should be thankful for the game and if its not to your liking, don´t play it.

If you buy a coffee outside, you have the right to demand it being drinkable. But not if you get a free gift somewhere

So if someone gave you a ham sandwich, but then slapped it out of your hands as you were eating it, then gave you a sandwich with just lettuce, you wouldn't be pissed at all?

My opinions on this game aside (there wasn't much game for me to care about before 0.16, there's next to no game for me to care about after), that's a flawed argument.

Firstly, this game has public releases. No pirated involved. Secondly, many of the people on this site do support developers. Even if they don't, games have an easier time getting noticed on sites like this. Does anyone actually search for porn games on Patreon blind?

Lastly, by your logic you can't have an opinion about anything you didn't explicitly pay for. Free apps on your phone? A movie you saw on TV? The free episodes of shows that streaming services offer? Any media you consume on trial accounts? By your criteria, someone wouldn't be able to have an opinion or critique about any of those things.

Wrong analogy, you can use version 0.15. You only got angry because he stopped bake new ham sandwiches.

He should just rename his version 0.16 so as not to be misleading, and mark this game as abandoned.

Yeah, probably a bad analogy, since both sandwiches wouldn't be finished anyways.

 

[Guywithalife]

wtf kind of update is this. "Remade the game from scratch" my ass. It's literally just a cut down version of the previous one. Has like 6 hentai images, all copy pasted from the last version and 90% of the content has been removed. The clown developer posted the pre alpha of his game and is calling it an 'update' . How about adding some fucking animations or something next time.

Why are you assuming all people on this forum play games for free? How can you tell who is always playing for free,who is a Patreon sub, or if not, who is paying for finished games elsewhere, like Steam or Itch?
Why do you think devs promotes their games mainly here?
Why are YOU even here if "pirates" disgusts you so much?
Whipe the cum on your face before accusing others, and tell them they have no rights of criticizing something.
Seriously you pathetic cocksuckers are the worst. Stop gushing over a dev who don't even respect his patrons. As for me, I'm proud of not feeding parasite.

Eh, it's difficult to top Breeding Season/Cloud Meadow shit (which has been going for fucking 8 years), so he's fine by me. I'm used to artist being spastics.

He should rename the new game as version '0.016' and mark this as abandoned, you mean?

 

[TheOneGuy77]

I really enjoyed the previous version (before v0.16) as even if it was small it had alot of time and effort put in to it. the sudden change to cards though at first i was wary i came to enjoy the gamble, but this new update feels like a low effort drop out of nowhere and i personally at the time of writing this dont know why they would do this as it was clearly going in a good direction at the time (apologies if the explaination as to why the sudden change happened)

Just new name with new thread with whatever version.

 

[AngrySpergMarine]

Oof the writing changes are something. Saria went from a player insert, letting your imagination fill in the gaps, to a chosen one Cardinal Samurai, Child of the Moon. Who wants that? And the weebshit is dialed to 11.

 

[Juliop]

Just found out about this. Typical for eroge genre, not even surprised.

 

[AngrySpergMarine]

Will Saria-chan learn the importance of trusting her nakama? Half the scenes of this game are the protagonist getting gangbanged, how are you suppose to square that with this toneshift? Also what is this name supposed to be? Is it a reference to cannibalism?

 

[AngrySpergMarine]

No there's officially recognized samurai in service to a lord and then there's ronin. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

 

[AngrySpergMarine]

What direction? What tirade? Who's tagging along? Are we supposed to hate Saria now for never making any sense? This stinks of young adult writing, just trying to shoehorn your favorite character archetypes. I previously got the impression Saria was someone with a checkered history who's worldly and street-smart. Now she comes off as a bratty teenager.

 

[HikkiG]

Yeah, this is just typical eroge introduction. Rance had it with Keith, Thief and Sword had it with Sufi, etc.
The Samurai, in this case, is simply meant as derivative class for fiction rather than mirror our reality.

I am not a fan of Saria basically being a different character either, but it's neither good or bad as far as fictional works go. Aldoe if Donner was inspired by something like Among Cults then I'd have a small laugh. That game is good, no offense to it.
