How quickly this went from a very promising successor to Karryn's Prison to a disgraced, nearly unrecognizable piece of shit, to (maybe) finally be buried in the mass grave of failed patreon projects. Someone ought to do a case study on it.
I'd have to imagine a reality where he finished his own game first.
Is it just me or was the discord server nuked? I never said or did anything in it and now its disappeared from my server list.
you know what's the worst part? It's not the change, or the game being abandoned... Saria just hit so many of my fetishes so hard, and there aren't many like her. Can't even think of a game at the top of my head that just ticks off the whole checklist. So the loss I feel is that I won't be even getting anything with a girl like Saria.

i've been entertaining the idea of becoming a solo dev as i learn more art stuff and this is legit a really good example. if you're doing something people really like, it's a good idea to keep doing it and not do something completely different. wow! who would've thunk

I'm legit convinced Patreon is the worst possible way to fund game development. Getting paid monthly creates a perverse incentive to keep developing instead of ever finishing the game, and it leads us to getting these endless abandoned games or shit like Future Fragments. If you want to fund a game, make a Kickstarter, make a good roadmap, get one-off funding, and actually finish the game because you have to.
Now if only the people funding games would realize this. Do not fund a game on Patreon, you're literally paying for the developer to not finish the game and you will be disappointed.

who would have thought??? changing the game from a very promising rpg-adventure with karryn-like systems to a shitty cardbattle-VN... is actually a sign of decline???
FFS, this was one of the very promising ones!! you were supposed to bring order to h-game shovelware, not join them!!!!
all the game needed was to have a short storyline, with branching maps and enemies, and properly finish the cg's for all of them.
for an artist it sure takes time, but it's way more manageable than learning new systems, trying to create an entertaining battle deck system that doesn't feel tacked on, or that can be massively exploited (as it currently could with heal->pierce spam)

This is pretty much my gripe with what's going on.
Getting a game that gets updated monthly is like finding a needle in a haystack. The art was good, the gameplay was unique, the, but then it turns the dev couldn't care less about what people like.
You know what, I like this version, I like we are getting more characters for a bit of variety, the gameplay is decent once you get a feel for it (so long as you aren't getting one shot because the enemy goes first and you're in the wrong stance)
Its just a shame we had to lose out on the previous version.

Same, that's why I switched to computer science and taking up game development right now.
What genre do you guys think this will pivot into next? Candy Crash, connect-3 type of gameplay or perhaps a dice roll tabletop simulator...

Alright, so for my understanding.
Quick summary:
- Dev got burned out to draw
- Game got dramatically changed in its mechanics mid development (for no reason apparently)
- People are pissed now and the F95 gang are as always the big bads if things go south
Huh, I never played any version (only saw some promo pics and thought it looked nice) so my opinion is not as based but changing core mechanics and switch genres in the middle of development is always a bad move in any scenario.
Sure the dev is entitled to do so. It's his game, but people (paying or not) are entiteld to voice their concerns as well.
The game has been marketed for something that it is not anymore and his patreons where paying for the original vision.
This may be not fraud (as I read further down the thread) but it sure are broken promises.
Time to move on I guess. I doubt that this project will recover in a meaningful way.

i can't understand why so many people are mad this game was rebuild into something unplayable and then abandoned.
Hello, it was never good in the first place. Just a low effort trash cheap copy of karryn's prison with dumb gameplay and above average art. The dev literally had no idea what he was doing, it was a mess from the start
