Ooof, someone can't take some constructive criticism without being a dick about it? Whatever, doesn't mean I have to reply in kind.
Thank you for the suggestion about the mouse wheel and I don't remember reading it in any of the unskippable text (which I read completely), it wasn't something I tried because in most games clicking in an entry box...
I disagree with the idea that all complaints are the same as constructive criticism. Someone providing constructive criticism would take the time to read and understand what they're criticizing - and also providing an actual solution than just complaining about change is part of what differentiates "constructive criticism".
This is in that unskippable text verbatim,
"The UI for the game has been revamped and streamlined. No more drag and drop. Instead, you can select heroines, villains, etc by hovering over a box and using your mouse-wheel or clicking on the corresponding buttons." and the very next line states
"Only items available to be selected in each area will appear."
There will be flashier and more in-depth tutorials implemented later, just didn't have the time to make them all and it's a proof-of-concept demo anyway. (Maybe we shouldn't have called it a "demo".)
What probably irks me most is the assumption that it was done with very little thought - that this is the final form (in a proof-of-concept no less). And also that none of the "constructive criticism" I've seen even makes an attempt to offer up solutions. Like making it to where clicking and holding auto-rotates the heroines. Or making the list of heroines organizable and sortable. And that's just two of things already being planned before we even dropped the demo yesterday.
But honestly, I'm well aware even attempting a debate is futile. (How could it not be when people clearly didn't take the time to read either the in-game text or the announcement post?) So I respond in a sarcastic and derisive way that's honestly fun to write. Because at the end of the day it doesn't really matter what I say or how I say it - which has been proven 1000 times over. So the actual writing ought to at least be fun if I'm going to bother responding to begin with.
But I don't have the time to respond to everything. I just pick and choose to occasionally poke the hornet's nest as time permits. And honestly time is kinda up for now. Ya'll take it easy. o/
