the dick riders above doesn't realize that on here we can talk shit and call out on the devs scummy practice of taking the money and run warning any future moron that have any brain cell left to avoid giving money to ass hole like this, if you post shit like that on his site it soon going to be remove by the bitch ass dev to hide his fucking crimes.
I know right. And I'm here to rip them apart like I always do. Also, even if they delete their comments, I already quoted them and it's not coming down unless a mod deleted it.

And countless more entitled idiots who thought harrassing a solo developer and just being shitty would somehow motivate them to continue.
People really go after solo dev with a project in alpha with the same venom as if they were some AAA studio and then act surprised this is the outcome.
People mocked me a good while ago when I said this would happen at this rate. ‍♂
This thread was likely the harshest of all the media sites Vel visits, but even then it didn't go hard until Vel himself came into the thread and starting flinging insults because people did not like the transition to the VN format. That aside how does that excuse his behavior on patreon, itch.io, and discord full of sycophants who still got insulted and banned even while kissing his ass because they too did not like this change to the game.

...What in the world are you 2 yapping about? Seriously, are you 2 newcomers or something since you're acting as if Vel was innocent. Let me burst your bubble by saying he's not. He didn't give any word that he would remake the game for the second time, when his supporters showed their dislike on the game, he threw a tantrum and banned everybody who disliked the remake, and he didn't keep his promises that he would finish Saria Reclaimed and there would be no more remakes. If he had handled this situation more professionally, then he wouldn't get as much hate. (I'm leaving a lot of other info because I'm too lazy to search early 2024 stuff, aka when RPG became VN)
Yeah I financially supported the game early on in its development. I liked the art, the setting, the gameplay. The dev showed a lot of promise and transparency, I liked his active trello board where I could see the development of the game in action, with things he was currently working on and still planning to do. The releases/updates were very on time and regular - at the beginning of the month of every. single. month.
He had a really good thing going. I am still not sure why he had to pivot into card games and then a visual novel style game.

Yeah the dev is working on another new game. I think he said he's taking some of what he learned from SR and CL to make the new one.

stuff like this is why i pirate and why i dont give a dev any money until the project is completed. i pirate, then understand im basically playing early access/beta testing and reporting bugs. and IF it get finished ill buy it. but not before. and devs like this are why.

Out of pure curiosity (and not meaning to instigate anything with anyone), what exactly is the new game that Velminth eluded to that they're working on? Or was there no actual concrete news in that regard? (I only see stuff for Cogito Line and of course Saria Reclaimed.) Just wondering if I missed something somewhere. Thanks in advance.

Nothing was revealed beyond him taking lessons from Cogito and Saria.

I mean, wasn't it obvious from the moment he remade SR into a VN type without telling his supporters?

As fraazx mentioned y'all should've realized that the moment Saria Reclaimed got "remade" twice within like 3 updates with no actual consulting the people paying him money.

Look at my post on 242 if you want the full story but it boils down to this.

SR is onhold with no news about it for months.
Cogito Line got a 0.1 release in April with nothing announced afterwards for several months.

Have I mentioned "Project Moon" ?

He still has his payments going making around 700 dollars a month

Enjoy being swindled out of your money for a pipe-dream lmao.

out of all the bad things he did. "Project Moon" doesn't seem that bad
That's what they call scamming lol, it doesn't seem that bad for like 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 months or years then they pull out the plug after getting enough support, like the idiots still supporting Vel who can't think for themselves.

F95zone is really strict on this kind of stuff, dude. Well, most of us anyway lol

Dont get me wrong, reworking things on the fly is a shitty move to do especially when your customers pay you for that one thing. But referencing Project Moon isn't that bad, if bad at all all things considered (I may be biased tho, cause huge project moon fan)

Ehhhh, I wouldn't trust anything that ever comes out from his mouth or action, unless he does a massive apology stuff and actively change his ways
