The prologue sure. (which will be reworked next.)Nah, the story was initially blatantly focussed on the 'brother/sister' relationship.
This wasn't the intention. The story's scope wasn't finalized and SLim was originally writing the story as he progressed. Now we have actual individual "arcs" all considered equal.We got to the very brink of them consummating their relationship, then the 'sister' just vanished from the story. If she was not intended to be central to the overall story, then it was a very deceitful and disingenuous beginning, presumably done because incest is a popular fetish that is guaranteed to bring in the punters.
False. It was just the character he was writing at the time of those early updates. (It also makes sense considering the setup.)You can say 'the sister was never intended to be the central relationship' now, but it is a clear bait & switch if you do.
This game is ongoing in development, we won't solely focus on just a single characters arc to completion because there's times that they will intertwine. I also disagree that this is "bad VN writing" because it's the basis of any storytelling that's not linear.This is without even getting into the other examples of bad VN writing that we're seeing. Such as starting up storylines with multiple new characters then just moving on to others before they reach any kind of satisfying conclusion.
Hopefully over time you can enjoy whoever it is you like to focus on when the relationships are filled out. I will say there's MUCH more consistency now than before. It went from just SLim writing on the fly like I said before, to an actual thought-out story. He has a vision, I'll help him see it through. We're not making the story for others, or due to popularity with a character/fetish he has something he wants to express and all of our progress is to get to this goal. This is why I mentioned originally to re-evaluate. How this *incomplete* story is perceived may change as it's developed since it's not done but no content is being cut or changed from the original premise.I'm not saying this is a bad VN, I kinda like it. Not as much as I used to, when I backed it for several updates after launch, but I still think it has potential. But it's clearly been losing it's way. Maybe it's starting to get back on track, we'll see.
Thanks for the feedback, hopefully I cleared some stuff up for you.
