out of all games i seriously wished this one would have a fast development and gets finished faster it is just a really good one ... this is just sad
Thankfully we have a guy who'd doing ver.15+ update that combined content from 17 and added new stuff, alongside bugfixes, and a guy making a unity remake of version 17.

What the fuck is this meant to be? What do I do? Where was a tutorial? This isn't an intuitive UI and the only glimmer of progress I made was mashing on the bed icon until an arrow appeared, clicking it, and getting little bit of red filling that bar under the valley area.

But that bar will never fill up entirely.

This is not at all what I remember. I remember a sidescroller in a desert with card-based combat. What the hell is this?

Did you see the change log? Yeah, this game got a remake. You should have been here when the remake came out, fun times of bashings, flames, white knights, etc.

The result of schizophrenic dev practices, no clear vision, surrounding oneself with an echo chamber and not listening to criticism, and artist fatigue that's what happened not the first game Vel has abandoned probably won't be the last

Just imagine a Karryn's prison amount of Content but with the art in Saria. Ah would have been so fantastic.

Dev had a bipolar personality switch and decided to rework the game from the ground up for no reason again

so i wanted to try the game , what is the "drama" for? is this game worth trying it? is it completed or at least closed to?
My guy, there is a tag system for a reason, and if you want to know if it is worth trying, there are...158 reviews and a 2.4/5.0 star rating.

But to answer your question: Yeah man it's a finished game, trust me, definitely GOTY 2024, the dev is 'closed to' finishing a 10-hour expansion

Was just looking at the road map for Cogito Line on vel's discord and it looks like it's going no where
Cogito Flop is already off to a bad start considering that Saria started off on a tight release schedule with good updates at the start of every month. CL released early April and we're in mid-May, still no update, so either he's ditching the idea of monthly updates (More Patreon $$) or it's going to be another remake lmao.

You forgot to include that most of us here would never let his past "achievements" go unnoticed lmao

Drama is about the creator constantly remaking the game at moments' notice (actually no notice, get fucked lol) and acting spiteful to anyone with opposing opinion. People both here and in his discord would encourage said behavior when it wasn't aimed at them, but there's a lesson in spiting your own fanbase as eventually he started acting very pissy towards his own community (and went on banning spree+locking comments) due to them not favoring the changes to the game. He could've been mature about it and simply state his intentions, receiving minimal backlash, but instead he came out aggressive straight out of the door and wanted to fight his own fans.

Game is worth trying, in fact it's good enough that we have two separate people working on remaking the game (Version .18 fan-continuation, has its own thread here while a different anon posted both here, and Cogito Line thread, small progress on his Unity remake of Saria.)
The game's Act 1 is essentially completed in version 13-15, once you reach town. Beyond that the game is indefinite on-hold (version 17) and in current state a completely different game in very early alpha state.
