honestly the game made some nice progress, sadly, at a cost. its been some time i ve seen that many renpy errors bricking the game.. still lurking ofc... maybe one day its stable....
I do have to applaud them for switching out the art assets that came from other games over time, but the development cycle of this game has been one of the worst I have ever seen.
If only the developers had focused on fixing bugs early on and kept that focus until the big bugs were gone, but they made and continue making several mistakes and those mistakes were big.
- They keep adding story and mechanics to the already broken game, which any developer should know is a bad idea if the game they are making has such bad bugs that you can't even get into the game. If you can't even get to the story, then adding more story is useless. I got to the end of character creation, not even to the point of seeing the RNPC list, when my game bugged out in 940, in 939 I could at least get to talk to them on the first day and it bugged out from that, and in 938 I could get all the way to having sex with them and it bugged out from that. The bugs are getting worse by a significant leap every version, not better, which should not be happening, it should at least be getting better on occasion, but it is not.
- They shifted focus in, if I remember the version number correctly, 938 or 939 to trying to combat piracy of the patreon codes, which has now totally failed because the codes aren't even needed for the thing the codes were useful to get, the cheat console. They would have to remove the cheat console entirely to stop it because all we have to do is type "call console" into the Renpy console to get it, something that can only be stopped by removing the cheat console itself, you can't block that with server verification over the internet. This shift in focus is what allowed the bugs to get this bad, that should have been saved for when the game was actually stable, not for when it is riddled with so many bugs that the cheat console barely gets used anyway because the player doesn't get far enough to need it.
