So, I just noticed this thread, I don't know how it evaded my attention since I check the updated game section regularly but... after reading all 12 current pages of the thread, I have a few things to write down:
1) Writing a game born from a mod is rough. I have some experience in modding for non-NSFW games, and I know how difficult it game be. Which is why I can already say that if you don't have a solid active team to rely on various chores, you are going to have a difficult time getting it to work. I am sorry if this may sound disheartening, but a two-three guys will always struggle to make a solid game with a regular update schedule- and if they try there's a chance they will burn up;
2) Many games here draw inspiration to some others. Many trainers draw elements from similar-made works while also giving spins to these ideas to fit within the context, but I have to say I am severely disappointed by one thing that jumps to one's attention: the first post doesn't mention Oni at all. I would have expected that the game that was born from something that he made, that wouldn't be a thing without him creating Rogue-Like, would have put a serious effort in Crediting him (ignoring the fact Oni has his own issues, I don't like his pace and some of the stuff he does with the updates, but that's really not the point I am fighting here for)- especially since it is clear from the thread that Oni may not have been aware of this move. So, I can't help but imagine how he may react when someone that helped around and made mods on his game going radio-silence and creating this game. I want to believe he knows and he had been quiet about it, I really do because, if not, that would put this game on my 'to not promote' list.
3) This project would have enjoyed more support if the beginning had been reworked rather than mimicking Rogue-like. It would have taken a small scene explaining the MC background on how he discovered his powers, how he got found by Professor X and then bought to the School. This form of art is a plus because it gives you the chance to expand the story itself in a wonderful way.
It's a early-stage work with some crappy coding right now, so I understand the fact it's buggy and laggy and will not draw any complaint on that as I know work is being done in that regard, but I think this project rests on rotten foundation and should work to fix those before trying to focus on the lesser issues.
