we will see what we can do...
But however this turns out, i guess MrDots will never ever again listen to community that open again as he did about Nicole. That whole discussion costed several days and uncountable amount of nervs.
Guess the next time he will just ignore, and stick to HIS vision - whether it's liked or not in the end.
I do find things like this a little over the top, the guilt tripping in general, the insinuations of the community being at fault etc. I honestly don't know what to believe whether this cuckqueen path is there or not. I truthfully don't care, in the sense we could be debating something that was never meant to be. All I know from my playing and thinking about it, the cuckqueen path made no sense up to this point in the game, nothing even hinted it was on the table. That to me is poor game design and I explained in a past post why it did not ring through for me.
If this MrDots fellow never wants to listen to his community again, that is up to him. People will still make decisions like they would of if nothing had changed. Simple as that, no harm done. But considering people were making the point here that made out they were close to the dev team etc that there was nothing but complainers over here and this is why MrDots is never here or does not take anything from here, then nothing said here was making any difference, people discuss things like in any other thread because that is what people do, discuss. But if nothing is really pulled from here, what is the harm.
People debate and discuss. Some people get more passionate than others and say things they probably never intended them to seem.
I can only speak for me, but at least anything I ever said in this thread with the recent debate I always tried to back up by referencing the story and my interpretations, that never means anyone's point is always correct, all you can do is bring some logic and reasoning to your posts and let the people decide. So if this community is not that important, then it must of been his own community also not liking the two options and he listened to them. From being in business and I can only draw on marketing experiences, you would be a fool never to listen to feedback. But to each their own, maybe the visual novel market is different.
I remember one time, supervising an ad and we would get random people to come in off the street and they would give feedback on it, where you get a mock up of an ad with cheap graphics and voice over before production. People gave feedback and the ad didn't connect for them because in general it did not have enough of their culture for that market. It was an ad for a general region of countries and a sport was referenced that they really did not give a crap about. Did we go, well to hell with them, no, we redesigned it. Sometimes feedback is just that, honest and real. Whether right or wrong.
I mean I will be honest, from my point of view no one who represented themselves from MrDots dev team in this thread covered themselves in glory. To me they seemed very emotional, sensitive to any feedback, referenced I am nearly sure numerous times this place is filled with complainers and why it is ignored. But I guess on some level it really is not that bad as they are still here.
All I will say is I never found this place that bad, I was bored mainly during lockdown I believe, I think that was when I really read this forum with an open mind during then and I found that a lot of people had insightful thoughts and they actually posted about the games in an analytical way etc . For the most part anytime I ever posted or responded people have been fine. I don't see these forums as bad, quite the opposite. Like any form you will have some people not acting in good faith. You step over it or respond if you so choose to.
In my opinion if you ask me if people were justified in wanting a break up route, yes they were. Is it ok to wait until next update, sure. But for people who wanted the option to break up right now, I have zero issue with them and I can see where they are coming from.
Does the cuckqueen route even make sense currently with what was made, to me, no. So it would of been an odd choice. But hey I can only judge what is made. If anyone thinks differently to each their own. I think I might possibly move on from this thread now as it seems to have run its course. Unless I am needed to respond to something etc. Probably waiting until next update now is more logical. Which sounds like it is two months away.
