A lot of devs have this thought and end up burning out and dropping all their games, the dev was not happy with their work and wanted to fix it, was struggling to enjoy working on the game and wanted to refind love for the title, it's long documeted elsewhere on other sites, it may upset some but it's better then the dev not being happy and just quitting altogether.
As for the family content, people need to think this as a new game, not a mad rush to get up to the same point the original story was just to please the people that want a quick fap. The dev has shared renders, animations, bios, plots and so on off all the characters for the past year on substar and Patreon, and they look amazing, including new characters like the "landladys" ex husband.
There is heaps already done in the design this release was more getting it out there to meet deadlines.
If you take away the past game and view this as a new game it follows 80% of new games for a 0.1 release, you don't get all the main charaters in most 0.1 releases.
I would say wait a few releases before judging this one and treat it as a new game.
I am looking forward to what is to come the preview renders and animations look really nice, and most of the support on discord is really positive as well and in the end the dev keeping themself happy and the paying supporting members intrested is more important then keeping a pirate forum happy.
I already rate this "remake" pretty negatively compared to the original. If I completely ignore the fact that it's a remake, and instead think of it as it's own game, than this game sucks even more. The only reason I even care about it is because of the original in the first place.
Furthermore, the dev clearly doesn't have that intention anyway. If they did, than they would have just made a new game entirely. Instead, they are reusing the name, and branding of the original, which should tell everyone that we SHOULD be comparing the two. It's like if Bethesda told everyone that they shouldn't compare TES 6 to Skyrim, as if they weren't meant to be the same franchise.
Additionally, this isn't even about the lack of content for me. I was in favor of a remake simply because I felt the first few releases of the original were brilliant, but it became lacking overtime. This one however, is lacking from the start. The only reason people even care to begin with was because they enjoyed the original in the first place.
Furthermore, in the beginning of the original, the dev bragged about the large cast of characters that was planned more so than anything else. Suggesting that the game would be character focused, since that was what they prided themselves on. This one however, seems primarily focused on improved graphics and gameplay mechanics. Effectively suggesting that characters have less importance, something that was obvious while playing the first release.
If this game does really focus on graphics and gameplay as it seems thus far, than it's only a hollow experience. It doesn't matter how good the game looks, if the characters and story are boring. It also doesn't matter what sort of gameplay gets added, since this is a porn game and mechanics are never the focus.
I have a generally negative opinion of Snats regardless. However, I do still enjoy his original work, so I want him to succeed simply because I want more quality entertainment. However, this isn't it. His mental health and enjoyment is not, nor should it realistically be our concern. In theory, his happiness should make me happy, since it produces better quality content, but that logic has been proven false with this.
