he took money and ran sarias not the first games he has abandoned and won't be the last look at cogito line lol
I disagree with your first point, while yes the product should always be front and center in a review, it's also important to consider who is making it. Once again, this game was being made by someone who shifted the gameplay two different times, called criticisms of SR "downs-syndrome borne accusations" in some now deleted comments or even the comment I referenced in my review where he was mad at someone for the VN change and said "You are the guy that has been upset for more than half a year now about the game, and yet here you are in every other page, still here, gurgling my balls like a little dog
". I'm not going to say what he was responding to here was necessarily warranted but Velminth also didn't need to respond, he could've just taken it as another person who isn't happy with the direction of the game.It's great that Velminth started this as a hobby, but when you peak at making $1538 USD a month out of 753 paying members, you should at least TRY to come across as professional to some degree. Also, if that many people are giving you $1538 USD a month, the bare minimum you can do is deliver on a product.
Seeing as we're on the topic of, may I ask your opinion on Velminth's Patreon? At the time of writing this he is currently making 564.33 USD out of 297 paying members, and he hasn't done anything since April. No commissions, no mention of him cancelling Cogito Line which he did in July, not even a mention that he is working on a new game (that we don't know the title of, assuming a name exists).
Do you want to know another dev who is an amateur? The creator of City of Secrets, TheDarkLight. The game itself isn't relevant but what is is that TDL has less dev experience than Velminth, who has a bit over 3 years of experience, and isn't rude to people who criticize his work (worse he did say was towards someone had a "stupid take" where all art should be added as the game progresses i.e the first dungeon should come out with all art and pixel animations finished, disregarding how much work that truly is).
Finally, and I promise this is not a slight against you in the least, Velminth doesn't care about you, your opinions, or your money in the slightest. You can comment on the wave of hate and how working on the game became a nightmare for him, but he handled things in the worst way, instead of buckling down, filtering criticisms into relevant and irrelevant or the reason why people would say what they're saying, he just attacked everyone.

I can say a lot of things to rip your points to shred, hell most of the points I made before to other ass lickers apply to you, but it's not worth the effort and time.
*Edit - Bro, even if you delete your post, it's legit pointless lmao. We still got your comment in our replies.*

Not to mention the feel had a bit of Lisa: The Painful in terms of atmosphere, it was good, Velminth was cooking but decided to waste it. A damn shame. I could see this game becoming something amazing if he kept on working on it. I'd say for him to take a break, and then go back to the game if burnout if an issue.
Bro can someone post the file or zip for version 13 without the shitty card system??? I've looked everywhere I can think and I swear that shit feels like its is lost media

I recommend you play this mod instead. There is no cards and dev upgraded every aspect are little bit. Worth to try anyway.

It most likely wasn't Vel himself, since the acc was just created recently
(Was hoping it was, I was going to blast him lol)
Abandoned tag is placed when X amount of month are passed without an update of any kind, be it written or published game version. In case of Saria: Velminth went radio silent several months ago after announcing a new project.Finally abandoned? Last time i checked it was on hold. I thought somehow they gonna fix it, but... Dayuum bruh... At first i thought this game got so much potential, such a shame.

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.
