Let's say the things the way they are. Bad criticism in this thread comes mainly in two forms:
1) Why are there no sex scenes still?
2) Why is update taking so long?
For the first one, people cannot have any right. A visual novel is, after all, a piece of art. This project is not funded by a Mecenas asking their artist what they want. This project is funded by donations. Provided that Hopes sets promises he always kept, people are not free to demand the story takes any form.
The typical example you can see in this forum is a developer saying there will be no NTR and later including something like that and then some supporters claiming they were lied to, case that most of the time is simply a consequence of not explicitly defining NTR in the first place and each side understanding something different
As far as I know, Hopes have not promised anything in terms of artistic traits that were outright lies, so if he wants to take until the very last scene for sex scenes all should be good.
For the second complain, and I said this as someone that has happily given the full price of Cyberpunk 2077 to this project, this is more of a complex issue but POTENTIALLY JUSTIFIED. First, as long as I have been following this project, Hopes made it clear that it was a side project to his main job. BUT at the same time, the development speed has been bad last year at least. I do hope that this is mainly due to change in code.
Let's see numbers. Last update was last week of July. However, that update was simply finishing things from the previous update, that happened last days of March. So all together, last year there was a single update, if you will, which was Isabel's. This is one of the free roaming updates which are supposed to be the fastest one. Before that, the previous update was around November.
I honestly cannot say that this development cycle is good. And while I understands things happen (I support Summer's Gone which had had only one update in a whole year), I am expecting a faster development cycle in the future. I am not saying monthly or even bimonthly updates, which would be great, but I would like to have at least 3/4 updates per year.
Having said all that, the main issue with the criticism you find in this thread is that of entitles bitches that demand stuff they get for free in a pirate forum. Their argument are always around this:
1) Dude, you are a fucking milker, you are supported by a bunch of idiots you take advantage of
2) Your story is total crap, written in a stupid way, your characters are totally stupid, they make no sense bla bla bla, So why does it take you so long?
3) This is porn game, 3 years and no sex story? This is stupid.
About 1, they claim dev is milking and taking advantages of the supporters. But it is the supporters decision to support the project. So all in all, people are giving their consent. Then this guy take hopes work and supporter's money for granted and demand stuff to be done faster. How is that not taking advantage of supporters and development alike? Who the fuck do they think they are to demand what people do with their own time? Besides, supporters are not mindless hypnotized idiots following a herd. If this little guy can figure out a developer is milking, supporters can too. So who the fuck do they think they are to come and "open your eyes". It is obvious a way to put pressure in the developer to work faster, not because they care about those supporters "that are being taken advantage", but because they want more content. In the end, those assholes calling milker all the time, are the first one to freely download the content when the game is update, not even waiting for supporters "exclusivity time". After all, they are stupid, so fuck them, right?
About 2, if you really believe everything is so bad and beyond all repair, why even take the time to go to the forum and complain? I only make constructive criticism when I like something. If something is crap, I will not lose time to try and improve it. It can go to the garbage dump for all I care. So my mindset has always been that if something is taking time to give you feedback it is because they want the project to become the best there is.
While there are those that simply want to go and claim that everything is total crap, I strongly believe those that do that are simply unhappy because the game took a turn they dislike. "why is heroine x not a virgin? don't you know that she is 25 years old and should have saved her hymen for her daddy? are you stupid or what?"
About 3, well, not much to say given that they should have understood from the beginning, story first, lewd second. In the end, this is strongly related to the second item.
So those are my thoughts on the matter. Constructive criticism is always welcome, as I said, it shows you care about something. Otherwise, why bother? but acting like an entitled bitch is not constructive criticism.
IMPORTANTLY: I don't mind facepalms at all. But if you think that what I am saying is stupid or wrong, facepalm me but explain me the fault in my reasoning. I have no problem saying I was mistaken and say sorry if i ended up being wrong. And I am always welcoming the chance to learn and improve. So please, let me know where my logic or opinion is wrong.
) that he holds the absolute truth (even moreso than Hopes himself
