I see. Yeah, i think this is it for this game. I stop following this thread then. Thanks for the info!
No surprise here. The game had potential, was the squandered for a pretty bad card game aesthetic, then iirc the dev slowly started to strip away the adult content or something.
I get not wanting to have "Horny Game Dev" on your resume, but man what a disappointment.

Not sure what you mean by stripping away the adult content, both the VN Saria and Cogito were openly sexual games. VN Saria especially.

Tbh i kinda wish this asshole would show signs of life.
It's been a while and i know for a fact he's been working on something.
This is his most recent tease for what he's been working on also a i might be schizo or something but I'm pretty sure he mentioned that he was working on SR this month on his discord server but he deleted the message.
For anyone who cares. Also his patreon is paused until a new release is made.
Pls come back Vel we love to hate you bro.

oh boy I cant wait to see what his new work is, I am so very excited and anticipating it with every waking breathe . . . woohoo.
Feels kinda like the Deathblight style game based on his little inspirations.
Really do hope he won't drop whatever his new project is and maybe finds someone to keep him on track.
I don't think that'll happen, the main reason why Miru-GA got cancelled was because he didn't get along with the person he was working on it with (allegedly, I don't say this with certainty). Regardless, Velminth isn't the kind of person to healthily take criticism so I wouldn't place my hopes in that. Not to say it's impossible, of course
His most recent messages are the same day (or around there) he cancelled Cogito Line on Itch, something he has yet to tell his Patreon subs, which is almost 5 months ago for anyone keeping track. Also, while I don't doubt you, how do you know he paused his Patreon? Did he mention it in his Discord? I don't see it mentioned on his Patreon page, assuming it would even show up there.
Fair enough, I don't know how his Discord is set up as I'm not a part of it but I do hope he has the decency to at least tell them. Thanks for the pics BTW
He did say that he cancelled both SR and Cogito, but will use things he learned from them in his new project.
Can't wait for his 4th abandoned game.
Tho, technically 5th, because I count remaking SR into a card game as his attempt to silently start another project.

Scholars HATE him!
He delivered a pure sex design in Saria. A game which also helped satisfy my armpit, muscle and brown girl fetish. At least there's princess reconquista for the armpit and brown girl parts.He did say that he cancelled both SR and Cogito, but will use things he learned from them in his new project.

Another day, still a dead game. Sometimes I wonder why these game devs have different brain chemistry. Sure, he f'd up, took a wrong turn, everybody hated that, did not turn back, made another game 0.1, and vanished.
I mean sure 1 out of 3 game devs gets the "the game is going fine and everybody likes it and I am going to rework the game" disease at some point and it's common, but somehow they never snap out of it.
Why do this when it could go like: fuck up, admit defeat, roll back, continue like nothing happened, everyone is happy

Cause most ppl can`t admit defeat!? Ppl not only not ready for that, but also most communities don`t have such values. I can say it`s whole generation of "get away" ideology. Srew up, run away, repeat. Instead of fixing errors and doing that right.
Apart that, common creative problems. ppl can stuck, can`t understand from start how much time and effort they idea needed and so on.
The thing was, he had it, he had the formula at the very start back when it was just a typical RPG.
It had scenes, amazing art, poses, multiple-partner capability, fetishes, battle-fuck, customisability, humour, intriguing story, even voice acting! All alongside numerous differentiating coded lines of dialogue and descriptions to keep actions and repeated acts fresh. He then added a minigame and sure it was buggy but it showed immense promise, this was going to be the next Karryn's Prison and shoot this guy to the stars. He HAD it!
Then he just 180ed, began stripping away everything that made the game better than another bland VN, and just focused on making a bland VN, and we lost all of it. But what we had originally was so good, Velminth could return tomorrow with a tiny update to the old Saria (either skill or card based, either was fine) with a few new scenes, new skills and a teaser for upcoming minigames or jobs, and he would soar again. There would obviosly be some flak to take, but if he did so, and showed he would stick with it and just keep going, even after everything that's happened to now, people would still be jumping on every new update for Saria Reclaimed again.
That's how good it was, that's why people still keep coming back to this thread after all this time, and it's a damn shame we lost it =/

You're right, he did have it. He had it to the point where even I, a person who doesn't get hyped for game releases, got hyped for this game. I followed the game since the first post on F95 and was watching with bated breath to see where this ship was going to go.
Then I saw the switch to card mechanics, and I thought "well, card mechanics aren't my cup of tea but this is Saria Reclaimed, surely it'll be good when it gets more content." So I waited, I waited until the card mechanics got fleshed out more and the game had more content in general. Then it turned into a VN. A fucking VN. I even played it, to see if it would actually be as bad as I feared. It was. It might've even been worse, but I was so disgusted by the direction that it was going that I just stopped caring about this game.
It's a damn shame that instead of just continuing what was a working formula, he chose to completely alienate the fan base.

Funny how we got the same experience, i did the exact same things.
Got hyped since the first, followed every update (even if i didn't play every), got sad when the cards came but remained hopeful and even tried it (and weirdly enough, kinda enjoyed it), then it became a VN and i still tried it and just gave up on the game.
Still come here every so often to remember what was and what could have been...
Is it possible to find a download for the version before the card system? I've only ever seen the versions with the card system.
