Do you think he will redo the entire DEMO? Dude, if Waifston announces that the next update is a DEMO remake people will go crazy. I would understand it without a problem, but you know how people are out of patience when it comes to Waifston.
This could possibly work when Mc would enter a completely new place with characters he had not known before and had gone to college and you dropped all old girls as Li's for ever, though even then he has to come back from unbelievable far back, but with the same people who were there while he got in that situation it has some big problems for those chars around him by implication of their actions or inactions in a story about deeper characters and believabillity and a split between opinion MC on those characters and that of the player that demands ignoring an incredible amount of disbelieve on the part of the player.
I already noticed that someone will leave disappointed with the coming of the next update. In addition to 'ChangeLog', Waifston should do an 'Update Notes'. Citing all changes made before releasing the game. So people will already know the current situation and will not have to play the update just to be even more frustrated. Much of the hate that this game receives is due to the fact that Waifston is not as clear with the community as it should be.You know I disagree, since some of the problems are with the basic background of the characters it will take more as a few tweaks and story changes to start making sense and to bring some characters back into territory where you can turn them around with good writing from hated chars into chars you can love and want a relation with which is the goal of a harem after all within the story. Let alone bring back Alice to a char you want to save instead of let her stew in her own juices, as a player which goes against the goals of game.
It also needs remake of MC into someone you can relate to as just feel pity for and it is believable he will grow up some instead of from having to go from an 8 yo mentally into an adult even with help of a mentor with all the implications that him being an 8yo mentally at 20 yo has on all those milfs (yeah to an extent it hits all that so called cared for him) around him that so called loved him but were powerless or unknowing to help him last 10 years.
Saving those characters around him that so called cared for him also means you will have to redo major part Sofia storyline and so on. It is not just a tweak, making an excuse or such, unless you want a dark revenge harem where MC exploits guilt, negativity and punishes people for fact they were at best uncaring or even evil in reality to him whatever they say, cry or hug him to death instead of a loving harem game.
Yeah it is his choice as a dev to do as he wishes with the disadvantages each choice would have for him, since it is his game. People will make the choice they will wish to based on his choice, that does not make it any less his to choose though.
Just for me I would be incredibly surprised if he could turn around the premium version without some serious tweaks and partly going back to storyboard from start as is for me for the reasons I set out or say it will indeed be a dark, corrupt revenge filled harem game about breaking the girls instead of loving them and if he continues it as is might have a look at the thread in a year to see what people think then about the game.
In my opinion, Sofia's situation is the only thing that will not be possible to recover. I don't care much about her, she was always the character I hated the most (even in the old version). But my heart is with those who are Sofia's fans.
Well mom and Elena are also not recoverable as are for me, just as much and depending on how rest of story goes same goes for the other main females until now even if maybe those other main females might be slightly less equally responsible as Sofia for how MC turned out. More chance you recover aunt as Alice for me at the moment.
Dude, thank you so much for giving your feedback. I didn't think I would find someone who was more unsatisfied than I was. I'm feeling so much better now.
My frustration was only with Elena, but you are frustrated with Elena, Sofia and even with Alice. I hope the next updates will be more enjoyable for you, homie.
Unlikely since recovering that would be loads of work for dev and entail going back to stage one on game.Dude, thank you so much for giving your feedback. I didn't think I would find someone who was more unsatisfied than I was. I'm feeling so much better now.
Yeah and to go to that from a game where I liked all of them originally, quite a turn around accomplished by Waifston. Also having no problems moving away from that town and her son who is in deep shit and leave him to get out of that himself for her own selfish reasons while not being able to do so with her son when he was bullied to protect him when he needed that if she had no other options to stop that, which is doubtful for a strong and feared woman she is supposed to be in the first place ....I'm fine with the different scenarios of the current game : the recommendation refusal, the family conflict, even the fake date thing. Simply change the modality of why it happens and how it happens in my opinion.Well mom and Elena are also not recoverable as are for me, just as much and depending on how rest of story goes same goes for the other main females until now even if maybe those other main females might be slightly less equally responsible as Sofia for how MC turned out. More chance you recover aunt as Alice for me at the moment.
Well as I explained why, I would be not since who and what for mess MC is, is the responsibility as well of all those he should love and get in a loving relationship with and especially Elena and Alice (Sofia at least you could give benefit she was a child as well and did not like MC anyway if you really want and did not know what she did), that just does not work with how they have been setup and is part of the reason why game feels so depressive now.
I actually don't understand half of the things you said. But you just said it : the issue is the setup, not the scenario's idea. Just change the setup.
Well I could make another wall of text about it, but the way MC is now (beyond looking like a 14 yo which would be genes) is within game universe due to what happened to him in the past years which is pretty negative and happened over years and years.
After a break, I got back to my game, played it from a different point of view. What I can say is that the plot is not bad. I have zero clues what it got so much negativity. 1 star reviews? Horrible MC? Shitty plot? This is all so strange to me. Maybe I'm just a dumb writer who can't see his horrible writing. Who knows.
We have told you exactly what is wrong with it. I went through a detailed explanation of my problems with your narrative in an effort to help you. The fact you're so dismissive of any of that is appalling.
Ok so, how about this? People say they don't like the writing of the Premium Edition yeah? But they prefer the writing of the old one. Play through that, look at the differences and you'll understand what the new version needs in terms of writing so people can start liking it.
As I said earlier, I read every comment and taking notes. I'm improving things. It's just in my head I can't solve this puzzle of "why there is so much negativity". You folks give feedback as negative as if I destroyed the whole game. Butchered every damn character. Created a buggy mess with no story.
Well from the sounds of it, you did that with Elena atleast. People hate her. And they seem to dislike the MC too. And considering how vital to the story the MC is (obviously since people like to insert themselves) and the fact that Elena had tons of fans, you can see why people are upset.
Intentions don't always lead to positive results. This was not a positive result.
