Here's a public patreon post he madeThe game shows any sings of life yet?
damn if it was that bad I don't blame him either. I didn't play or know about this game until 0.3 was already out so clearly I don't know where the updated ended and started but I can kind of guess and the parts that I know that were included in it I thought was the best parts of the game for meLast update came out and there was a vocal minority that acted like it was the worst thing ever. While I can't wait for the next update, I don't blame August for wanting nothing to do with this thread.
to early to say there is no sex yet. Seems like a slow burn Harem ( had no idea it was one) never looked at the tags and didn't feel like one so far lol. So I assume you can pick but cant be sure.is this a closed harem or we can not to chose any LI we dont like?
Who actually cares about some minority. I mean there will always be some saying "shit" (dm intended). Either them being trolls or reading too much into resp. taken too much to heart, different expections or rly disliking something based on bad experiences. The latter is actually good, diversity and such. Hard to say which was the case here, but I dont even want to roll it up.Last update came out and there was a vocal minority that acted like it was the worst thing ever.

I don't fully recall everything that happened in the last update. so this is my best guess why people may have disliked it.what happen in the last update?
what happen in the last update?
I don't think many had a problem with any of those scenes, it was more the change in tone of the game and the poor decisions of a MC that is meant to be a black-ops soldier e.g. letting Valentine get the drop on him in the colleg, and the MC just being more passive in general. Honestly I think how well-received/good the first 2 releases are just set peoples expectations in a certain way and the last release just suffered from success a little.I don't fully recall everything that happened in the last update. so this is my best guess why people may have disliked it.
Valentine we had no choice but to let her to stay the night at our place ( no sex) I think cuddles did happen and maybe a kiss I forget. I personally loved this part of the game and was my favorite even loved it alot more than alot of scenes from other AVN's. Because the texting scene part of the scene was super cute and funny at the same time I just loved it.
Guess #2 Lilly scene right after the Valentine one. We were forced to kiss her with no choice in the matter.
Guess #3 This one im not 100% sure if it was in this update or the previous one. But there was a face licking scene and maybe a hand kissing that was the edge of femdom stuff with Akira. But im pretty positive we had a choice to avoid it but I guess it may have seem a bit forced if we accepted it as I dont think there was any indication that it was going to be that kind of scene.
Anything else I cant recall. Sorry if all I can do is guess but a guess is better than nothing.
ah that part was in the last update thought might of been the update prior then yeah was that part for sure was the issue for people. I personally had no issue with itI don't think many had a problem with any of those scenes, it was more the change in tone of the game and the poor decisions of a MC that is meant to be a black-ops soldier e.g. letting Valentine get the drop on him in the colleg, and the MC just being more passive in general.

So, I did count all that did post on from update 3 - based on if they didnt like it. No guaranty on correctnes, may I missed someone switching mind (in either direction, though it wont change much). 90 liked it, 23 disliked it and on 27 I could not determine opinions (because its not clear if they yet started the game resp. update 3 or whatever - if they did and just didnt say anything add them to the positives. So you have it white on black and green and red and blue i guess). Also there is a common rule that on 1 positive comment you may find 10 negative ones, not sure what multiplier rly to apply but sure there are a lot more who liked and simply didnt say anything.I love how a literal minority of two/three dudes just decided their own opinion is the popular one and all who disagree is just a minority lol.
The thread is there and, if you check the discussion, it wasnt a "minority" lol, lets not try and rewrite history. Everyone can go back a few pages and see for themselves.

So yes, we can talk about a minority (though not on post count if that was your point ). May we have to talk about the term itself, on if in comparision or total numbers. If your ego can't stand to be in a minority because there have been at least 22 others ... I apologise. Replace it with any matching term you feel comfortable with.
The rest I actually agree on. As I wrote - who cares (and I didnt mean wrong claims about posts of mine but on some ppl seeing things a bit differently than the majority of players). That's why I did post before. And that actually only for those not knowing of the game yet (to decide themselves).
Now as you can see it is comment that is fresh and made when the update just came out and it is heavily upvoted by people who had similar thoughts 40 + (already more than those in your "analysis") yet didnt comment because it would not only be redundant but also not all people participate in the discussion, that doesnt make their opinion non existent.I loved 0.1 and 0.2. I saw so much potential in 0.1 that I backed the dev immediately upon its release. I loved Sam, Lily, Casper, Lua, and Fray. I found Liz Fell intriguing. The story was fun. The humor was fun. There were some interesting hints at broader stories at play. It was great getting to rescue an LI from a stalker, even if that turned into something else afterwards (and I'm a little disappointed that 0.3 suggests that the Frank choice made didn't matter except for a tiny change to the insults Akira/Valentine threw toward the MC). I was starting to actively care about the characters.
Hopefully this gives a proper idea of the mindset I had, and the excitement and enthusiasm I had for the game when seeing it was out for my support tier to play, and when launching and starting to play 0.3.
And then I started playing 0.3.
Now, I'm normally one who defends an MC NOT being a raging asshole to confident and self-possessed girls, even if they get kinda bitchy, but this entire update was basically LI after LI just shitting on the MC and the MC letting them do it with little to no complaint. If that's what the dev wants in the game, so be it, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time so I didn't waste my money.

TL;DR: 0.3 was a massive disappointment from a writing and characterization standpoint, it solidly ruined three LIs and the MC and damaged a fourth LI, and it directly caused me to withdraw my support and stop recommending the game to my friends, entirely on its own.
okay i just read the post by tiur that you quoted. I get the problem now.I recommend you to not leave your day job because you wont make it as data analyst or even elementary school math teacher.
I am not going to go into why the "analysis" you did is a waste of time because I think its obvious, I am just going to refer to this comment that explains what a lot of people had issues with in the last update:

We all know that most relevant discussions are had when an update just comes out, because thats when most people actually care to check the thread otherwise it is just a circlejerk of "fanboys" just jerking each other off. But I wont claim people who dislike it are a majority, because there is no actual way to validate that, I will just say that it certainly didnt go over well for a part of the audience that was enjoying the game until that point. Whether the dev cares about that doesnt matter, it is his game and he should do whatever the fuck he wants with it, but this is also a forum when we discuss the game, theres devs who dont even check this site yet people still discuss the game because its what we are supposed to do in the forum. I hope we elevate the conversation to more than just " shut up, you are a minority because I said so lol"
funny thing that person's issues he had with Valentine and Akira in the 0.3 had the opposite effect on me, I ended up hating them and then loving their characters by the end of the update.okay i just read the post by tiur that you quoted. I get the problem now.
I guess i'm in the minority. i like the game. I like Update 2 the best but Update 3 is fine for me. I like Akira too, she's what is called tsundere in Japanese character archetype. I think that could be what the dev are going for. Whether or not Valentine is designed for the Yandere character archetype or not, I'm not sure cuz it's been a long time since i played it.
But my general impression of the game is that, from the get-go it isn't perfect. The highs are very high but there are mediocre points too.
Dialogue is some times really funny though, i love it.
I wouldn't say i'm jonesing for next updates, but i would say if next updates comes out, i would put aside time to play it
