I'm honestly bummed about it. karryn's prison is finished, light space love takes forever for updates to come out (they are pretty good tho), and this was the only other game that scratched that itch, now its gone further down the drain than a Californian gender reveal party.
Disclaimer: I disregard the whole investment vs patronage debate.
I wouldn't mind gameplay, that is a slimmed down version of Library of Ruina, but the new version should be titled as 0.2 at best. A good 'adult' card game is harder to come by than another RPGM title, even one inspired by the top of the class that is Karryn's Prison, because card games have to meet a much higher standard to be enjoyable.
The gameplay of the original game was far weaker than Karryn's Prison, so I don't get the criticism directed towards the genre switch. In my oppinion the biggest problem right now is the loss of content, atmosphere and choice compared to the previous offering. I also believe that the devs greatest strength is the artwork, so changing to a more gameplay focused genre might still prove detrimental in the long run.
On a lighter note: This update finally made me realize that Saria is supposed to be a buff, tan, excessively endowed Angela.

I don't mind the rework actually. At least in theory. I dislike card games, but asides from that I don't mind the game moving in a different direction.
I don't know if the dev reads this, but I will just leave this here:
The rework is abysmal. You had an idea which worked fine, had a direction, and you did a complete 180° to whatever this crazy mess is. I really find it hard to understand, why? Why not follow through with something you saw people support and appreciate to something they obviously hate? Don't tell me you find this to work better than the previous approach, you can not seriously think that, and I can't in good faith believe you did not see the shitstorm coming with your own fans reacting the way they are because I won't believe that either. You are either pulling off some crazy ass trolling or are completely delusional. Either way, a bad joke.
I have a hunch this happened due to a copyright strike. If that is the case, don't let it dishearten you, just modify the assets till you satisfy the conditions. But don't COMPLETELY remake the game ffs...

The game doesn't let me choose the "naughty" options, I don't know if that's how the game is or if I'm having a bug.
You have to raise an invisible corruption value to select them, which can be done by losing a few times through sex (by either spending too long in battle, or turning on horny mode.) After that just replay mission by selecting the horny option, only notable change doing so is allowing you to skip one of the bandit battles.
Horny mode only affects battle, you have to grind your corruption through battle harrasement and loss before option unlocks.

I personally do mind if the game is moving backwards and i think a lot of people do.
How can you say that when we have games like Edge of Eternity made by 4 devs? Or Bright Memory made by a solo dev? It's just patreon devs that are typical lazy and milkers and they don't have any reason to speed up the process of development. Next stage will be a remake of remake.

The thing about the original formula is that it gave more of a sense of "control" to the player to let/make H things happen.
Now it just feels reduced to a CG viewer with a minigame before it.
I'm a huge harassment during combat person, so to see that minimalized at the moment is pretty tough.
Just hope the dev takes some of the feedback and can reign in the concept while also keeping it at a workload that works for them.
Good luck!

what I noticed was that was that person you responded to made his one, and only post there, now I wonder if it was a fan or a shill!

Games like Bright Memory stand out because it is out of the ordinary for one person, an animator/artist even, to make a game like Bright Memory on their own.
I'm not here to defend Velminth, it's clear their behaviour is justifiably drawing ire, but expecting everyone to be an outstanding single person army is a bit much. Vel would've been making enough money to hire ppl to handle the parts of the game dev process they were having trouble with, and should have. On the other hand, this game seems to be more of a proper art project in their eyes, which I assume is why they didn't hand off control, and why redesigns happen often as they change their mind. (This is why proper big devs never put anything out in the alpha phase cause the game will change a lot)
Again, not excusing the bait and switch or the slow pace. But, it is their own project and expecting every dev to work at a special case pace isn't super reasonable (assuming they were full time at all, which it didn't feel like but IDK for sure). Add on that all the Saria content was freely available, not paygated behind patreon, and I think this is more a case of Hanlon's Razor.
It is also unreasonable to expect people to support a project that no longer is the game they pledged for, so I hope all those supporters pull support to show they don't like the new direction. The right thing to do by Vel is to provide refunds to some extent to their supporters, but I somehow doubt that will be happening

That would be a step in the right direction, but like you said, it's not going to happen.The right thing to do by Vel is to provide refunds to some extent to their supporters, but I somehow doubt that will be happening
