These were supposed to be in the main game but engine is old and bad and adding anything makes a lot of bugs and may break it so these are separated so if you can do better make your own game
This is wrong on so many levels. 1st of all you don't need to be a Chef to know when a chef has given you a raw steak. Responding to such criticism with "well, go make your own stake then" is just flat out retarded There's nothing else to call it.
Second of all, the way they're doing it is wrong, because they're taking side events and then breaking them off piece meal and then turning them into their own games. If you want to switch from unity to renpy That's fine. In fact, I'd probably be on board with it. for games like this, it is a better engine overall. but instead what they're doing is instead of just porting the entire game over from start to finish in the new engine. they're taking late game content to mid game content, breaking it off and then making each individual piece its own individual separate game, which again is simply retarded.
And third is the issue that they are supposedly trying to get away from the slave trainer aspect to make a bunch of different short stories. which is, of course, going to upset a lot of people, because the main core of their fan base was people who first came to them because they were making a slave trainer game..... That also had Raven in it, let's be honest. lol
So yes, they are making basically every worse business decision they possibly could regarding their game. It's not even an issue of them switching engines. It's an issue of everything else they're doing, and specifically how they're doing it.
And if it is some smaller part of some overall plan, they still need to communicate that effectively, which as of right now they have not.
