Many such cases.
She came off as pretty even keeled and supportive. Saria on the other hand sounded like Altair at the beginning of Assassin's Creed dismissing getting his entire squad killed. I bet if Vel played that recently we'd get a similar cutscene to start the game, or if he watched Cobra we'd get a "turn your badge in!" scene.
I wonder if there's are report function on patreon if product turns being a fraud? He literally deceived his backers.
No. As much as people (myself included) are disappointed in the change in direction, he did not literally deceive his backers. I have no previous archived version of his patreon, but it states that any backing will simply support any direction he chooses. He never gave patrons any meaningful influence over the project, nor did he ever handcuff himself to any promise on what "Saria Reclaimed" stood for, other than sexy blue hair tan tomboy (even that could be up in the air). Saria Reclaimed is only described as a lewd game.
Yeah not really possible, you have to majorly screw up as creator to fall outside the guidelines.
I doubt the dev would do that cause "gives no shit" what people want or ask no matter how much money involved.
Yeah, I saw that post. Was hoping for more. It really doesn't scream a pattern of unwilling to accept criticism to me (I was expecting massive ban waves or him flipping out). It only looks like he doesn't want to cede any development decisions to his fans. As the first couple of comments when the new version dropped have stated, he is not making this for the money. He clearly cares very little about the game's financial success.
And that's why he putted it on Patreon in the first place... yeee, sounds logical.
My guy, his patreon was created for his art in general. If you go to his about page there, it hints that it has at least existed since 2019. The game was first released in 2022. The patreon is not for the game. And seeing as he's willing to make these kinds of radical unpopular changes, clearly patreon income from the game is not a priority.
Whatever... still he could just left a legacy version for download without saying anything stupid.
This is basically 100% confirmation that he DOES read this thread.
He banned many people, blocked the comments on itchio and said on their discord to "leave f95 shit to where it belongs", eventhough he was more than happy to post the updates themselves up until now.
Its like Rock Paper Siscors (But in RPS - Paper beats Rock, not Paper itself)
