VN Ren'Py Abandoned ValiDate: Struggling Singles in Your Area [v1.1] [ValiDate Game]

Why is everyone so quick to hate on this game?

 

[Delteros]

Because the people who made this, or at the very least the heads, are openly racist. The game itself is just cookie cutter modern day western media turned into a dating sim. There are several reasons the not like this game.

The full game has just been released on itch and is now also available on Steam:

Can anyone take one for the team and upload the full game here? The OP has the demo from 2020 and I am very curious about how much of a trainwreck this thing turned out to be.

I don't see why this gets so much hate.

I don't see why this gets so much hate.

This game's intention is to offer "representation" to minorities, which in and of itself makes the devs come off as condescending towards other VNs ("hey guys our VN is inclusive unlike the others!!"). That, plus the 'representation' offered isn't even good- many of these characters are stereotypes, ugly as sin, and despite the fact that ValiDate is marketed as a romance VN not all routes are romantic or sexual (which would be expected of a VN that is, allegedly, 18+).
It's weird as hell, and that's why I find it so interesting that they actually managed to complete the game. Or well, the first volume anyways. If anyone has it please share it here.

Damn, i just found out about this
sad that its only the demo

Would love to see the full game
Even with all the hate, theres still ppl who would really enjoy this
Not everyone is a straight white dude who wants to fuck their family members

Is that the same ValiDate mentionned here ? With this lady being what appears to be the lead dev ?
Now working for "Cliffhanger games" (EA studio) on the next Black Panther game ?
Studio which just so happen to have been laid off today ? :
