Personally, I don't want any gameplay mechanics added. I don't get why people want gameplay mechanics. I play for the art, not the grind.

Plus, any time spent adding these gameplay mechanics takes time away from drawing new assets


If I wanted to play a fun dc game I would play arkham knight. If I wanted to play a puzzle game I would play a lego game.
gameplay mechanics are good, when they are done well. porn rpgs for example need good combat, the real problem comes, when the people making them decided that now, you cant progress because you gotta win some bs nonsensical puzzle they pulled out of their ass, while high as a kite.

also, when i say they need good combat, i mean, BASIC JRPG combat. instead of the outright retarded(sorry for the word, but its the only one that fits) ones where you gotta do some nonsense just to attack...

too many developers think they are making a persona game or a final fantasy, but end up delivering lunar dragon song...

a) no one really does any conversation on patreon since its just like a wall post
b) If your discord was filled with hate it'd be a pretty shittly run discord, you change the rules and hand out bans to avoid a negative atmosphere, thats literally a huge part of running a discord
c) The communication they provide is garbage, you tweet 1month ago "testing starts this weekend" and then a month after that "finally into testing" isn't good communication, GSG needs to actually learn to communicate properly which would likely entail owning up to their own mistakes, fuck ups and laziness constantly (or just spouting dumb lies) and accept the hate for a while until it grows into understanding

edit: d) It doesn't help when GSG replies just as much of an asshole to people, need to be the bigger person and learn/understand PR before you cry and yell back at people get mad

Honestly, yea, in my opinion that's one of the only problems with GSG with me. They don't communicate, if at all. The game itself is great, otherwise it wouldn't have as big of a following as it does nor would their patreon be doing so well. But the lack of any kind of news aside from updates or announcements on twitter or discord that just hellishly imply that they procrastinated just kind of drags it down by quite a bit.

I think they might just not want to outright say "Yea we got lazy.""We procrastinated, sorry, we'll get back on it." or even a "Real life got in the way, we'll get back on it when we can." purely just so that people don't stop paying on Patreon (which can happen for such mundane reasons.) Which is understandable, but almost everyone would prefer an announcement along those lines at the least, because they're all pretty normal reasons that can slow production to a halt for understandable reasons. We're only human after all, otherwise we wouldn't be so hung up about a porn game as we are xD.

I thought sunset hired a programmer according to some of last year's posts. But instead it turns out he was trying to fix the vault by himself




Also its interesting that he was tinkering with the vault, I suppose to add the dialogue to the scenes

Apparently the programmer got fired/quit because he wasn't doing much programming and spent most of his time stirring up shit on the discord. I think I also saw somewhere that some/many scenes live in the vault and get the dialogue applied during the event, which is why it has to work properly, but I could be imagining that.

Honestly lots of game companys fail and suck at PR and communication, my only real gripe is how they keep missing deadlines THEY set and that from the looks/sounds of it the code base is just a fucking mess and they are dead set on wasting months each update rather than just cleaning it up with a few months of work. Adding leash/other scenes to girls that already exist on others shouldnt be causing so many issues

If delay continues and it's gone silent it may be the movie. Because it's pop culture at the moment. DC time kind of snuck up on him and maybe he's trying to stay off the radar. If that's what it is, can't blame him and that's probably really wise on his part.

On game in general, I'm not a huge fan of how things get added now by way of arbitrary and linear story stuff. It's nice sure but it's there and gone. A lot of the foundation laid probably won't get used. Personally I'm just holding onto one major desire for the game. I want you to be able to get Roulette and Tala in Glamor Slam. The recent leash stuff is encouraging.

As for delays in general.. well I won't say. But seems like a long time since Akabur would release a full game every once in a while punctuated by others showing up with debuts 50% - 70% complete.

Not being great at communication is fine, like you said lots of even professional ones do, but man it's pretty awful to full on get into arguments with consumers about shit. That's never going to go well, no-one's going to get less mad because you go "Uhh technically I didn't say it was actively being done so we didn't lie".

Communication here is pretty easy anyway, just pop in and respond to questions sometimes, or post an update yourself once and people will absolutely love you, regardless of delays or how frequent your updates are (within reason obviously).
