Nah brother. It was a lot. I had pages worth of criticisms for the pacing of the game, the fact that the robots would start at level 1 regardless of where we got them, whole bunch of stuff. Yeah, bugs were included, but they were the least of my criticisms of the game. He changed a lot about the game before its official release in large part due to my criticisms of it to make it a lot easier to play, and a lot less of a grind. I just can't take the notion seriously that Zion retreats from criticism when I'm literally been a person to criticize him.
Look, I don't know about your particular story and it sucks if you were banned for polite criticism. I just know it's not my experience. I can agree that the game could use a method of getting stronger that doesn't rely on beating the various succubi and equipping new runes to increase your stats. There should be a levelling mechanic, there should be more variety in enemies aside from just 'different colored plant demon' or at least a way to grind out the stat boosting foods instead of being limited to a hard cap. I've even been in DM's with Zion letting him know that some of his bloat is too much, and that he's ending up with a product that takes too long to make for not enough return, and never been banned. So I just don't know what you're talking about.
Christ on a bicycle, Zion have you learned NOTHING from the discourse going on in your own game thread for the past couple of years? people don't care about the sidegames, your crown jewel and your claim to fame has been and continues to be Succubus Covenant, hell the fact that its thread remained alive when it got no updates for the longest time ever should be a testament to just how much people like it in comparison to warlock saga or eden crest.
It's good to see you posting here after so long. I have never developed a game myself but I understand that it can be hard between the art and the coding. Not to mention you are making a story based game that you want to stand on it's own even outside it's h content. I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving and that time with friends and family will help you through your burnout.
Honestly, after all the wait and the broken dates? Barely anyone will give you a benefit of the doubt - only very fanatical of fans will.
For clarity, Zion himself didnt insult but rather complained about the critics here. "Subhumans" was said by some of his discord members.
Your post history is defending zion like he pays you. No one cares you were the one lucky guy zion didn't instant ban or block for questioning certain things.
I literally only posted about it once what do you mean? XD
Haha, the legend himself comes out of the woodwork.
At first when I discovered SC I was thinking about supporting Zion but the development was way too slow, and I was like "Nah, not gonna support him unless he speeds it up". The development only got slower since then lol
Could it be that the man doesn't care what people want the most and has several projects going for the sake of avoiding getting tired from the same stuff?
Then he'll do just that, if it was only ever about doing side projects for fun then his work ethic and progress wouldn't be so abysmal, hell even if it is what you say, then he should give SC some proper love to garner some much needed good will and get more people onboard and then he can turn his attention back to his side games.
Get more people on board? Have you missed how many people just disappear whenever they feel like doing that? It's a nightmare if you have multiple people around and they can run away or become special overnight. Quite the joy to manage a project if that happens more and more often.
mincing the quote for clarity sake. you misunderstood me, I meant more fans, patreons, supporters, ect.
Shouldn't you share that with the man himself? Since you know so much it surely would chance everything. Instead you share it with people who are not involved with the game in any relevant way.
