They said that they were disappointed and enjoyed the game, nothing else. Where is this hostility even coming from? Seems like the one who needs to rethink before hitting the keyboard is you mate.

Hello everyone!
It’s been a few months since I worked on Timeless Vendetta (TV), and recently I had the chance to go back and play through the entire game. Looking back, I definitely see a lot of things I would’ve done differently—a lot of things I’d add, and a lot of things I’d remove. But I think the mistakes I made can be summed up into four main points:
1. Connecting scenarios based on “vibes” instead of writing dialogues ahead of time
When I wrote TV, a lot of my script was made up of cool scenarios I wanted to show the reader, and I built the plot around those moments. Instead of writing scene-by-scene, I relied on half-baked filler or transitional scenes to connect everything. This approach might work if you’re a genius improv, but it didn’t for me.
Those filler scenes ended up feeling empty and inconsistent, and I got called out a lot for things like characters saying one thing and then contradicting themselves later. Most of the time, these issues came from those rushed transitional scenes.
They also didn’t add much in terms of character depth, relationships, or world-building—they were just there to bridge plot points. And because I often ran out of dialogue ideas while writing them, the scenes would end abruptly, making everything feel rushed.
2. Rushing to finish the script with an unsatisfying ending
Midway through writing TV, I hit writer’s block, but instead of taking the time to work through it, I pushed myself to finish the script. The ending I wrote wasn’t just bad—it was unsatisfying and difficult to connect to. I thought it would be fine because I could come up with a better ending or fix the connections while writing the dialogues and renders, but instead, it just made me burn out and get frustrated.
3. Taking too much criticism and feedback
I love getting feedback on my work—it’s the whole point of the “after-chapter recaps.” But I definitely went overboard by trying to incorporate too much of it into the writing. At some point, I had so many loose plot points that I didn’t know what to do with them, and it became a huge intangible mess.
4. Multiple endings and dialogue variants
The idea of players being able to change the outcome of the story is awesome, but the way I approached it definitely wasn’t. I ended up burning myself out by writing multiple variations of the same scenes based on player choices. If I could do it over, I’d write the story coherently from start to finish first, and then work on the alternate outcomes afterward.
Despite all of that, I’m still glad I decided to give visual novels a shot and make TV. The process taught me so much about writing and screenplays—knowledge I’ve strangely found useful in unexpected and completely unrelated things.
Right now, I’m working on an entirely new story. I’ve written about four chapters’ with three already having dialogues so far. It's really just something I wrote in my free time as I (still) haven’t been able to save enough money or time to commit upgrading my hardware and focus fully on it, so it might get released one day, or it might not. But if the opportunity comes and you’re all interested, I’d love to work on it more and show it to everyone.
As always, thank you all for your support and thanks for reading my "reflective" ramblings. Have a great day! -
