VN RPGM Abandoned Saria Reclaimed [v0.17] [Velminth]

[seventhsword]

This dev completely ruined everything people enjoyed about his game. What the fuck was he thinking?

saria is saria i came for the tomboy (And the ruina combat)

I did not follow this thread, but you know that the dev has seen some shit when the update has a smiling emoji after "I remade the game from scratch". Poor fellow.

At least he's getting paid for it, and not getting graded.

Wait the VN has card-based combat? Does it still have any rpg character progression systems? How does a VN handle mob encounters?

Mob encounters are non-existent. No rpg progression....

I remember this one. It was a really promising karryn prison type game with the positions on battles and such. What the fuck happened to it?

creator had a change of creative plans for the game. it hasnt been well received by some of the fandom

People are even bitching on Patreon. The most loyal of his own supporters are not liking it.

Shouldnt the RPGM tag be changed to VN and the screenshots at the first page changed too since it doesnt represent the actual game no more?

tbh I think he just got so much hate for introducing the card system that he just doesn't care anymore, or he's just delusional and thinks changing the entire game every 6 months is a good idea

death by Bud Light i see good way to go

 

[Pagoramix]

people pestering about a beta that change direction WHICH IS VERY MUCH what a beta is about.

 

[TinkleTonkle]

Bro really remade the whole game from scratch just to trim some gameplay fat. Fuckin legend.

 

[lil rain]

Bro literally killed the game

 

[fart1111]

I feel like the dev never really knew what he wanted to do with the combat, or maybe he did, but just couldn't find a way to make it stick (every single version of the combat in this game has been by far the weakest and most unbalanced point).

I haven't tried the new update but from what I can see from the comments and what I've played
Not only is there the card system but people are talking about it being a vn
I'm guessing the creator is getting heavy inspiration from Library of Ruina

There is no overworld.
There is no inventory.
There is no RPG.
There is just clunky bland menus, a still unexplained cardgame, and Ren'Py stills.

I suspect the Voicing will be the next to go.
The project is not even remotely recognizable from a year ago.

The card system is just selecting what seems like up to 6 skills you can use in battle. The gameplay seems more simplistic and less fun, but it does reduce a lot of the annoying travel time. Being able to just replay a fight whenever you want also is fine. Definitely not as fun as the older version, but honestly not as bad as people are making it out to be.

Hmm i think u are wrong there, that kind of change its more for a project that is on alpha phase (wich for my pov all new games like this should be an alpha and not beta phase) When u enter on beta phase it means that you have a solid part of the game that needs to tested before release, wich means you like the way your project is going...making a rework of 90% or 100% of the game on beta phase is throwing problably years of work to the trash bin.

Jesus you people are wild. This game has very high quality art and is literally on here for free. I preferred the open world navigation too but there's a huge market for this VN approach, in fact tons of people berate the RPG maker games for having a useless walking simulator built around what could have been a VN.
You're doing great dev, from someone that does not agree with all your decisions. Tamer Vale did great so people whining about another car battler are full of shit too. There is an issue with your approach to it, where the cards don't feel like they have any impact. There needs to be more direct feedback to the player that makes them feel distinct from eachother, and to give their effects some real impact. That's the only major criticism that I think really needs to be addressed for the final product and oh look, the game is literally WIP.
