The thing is, I can understand why people would think that a rework can end a game.
In my eyes though, this only applies to games that have no goal or at least a finish line. Games that were created with no foundation and the dev now struggling with the direction.
I'm not gonna lie, WiAB was on a shaky foundation until 0.5. but it has found its purpose. Something I am looking forward to, something that gets me excited, something that I finally want to visualize and take you guys along.
Even if the majority of players won't like the rework, which I highly doubt, it won't matter.
My passion for story writing and creating is what keeps the games alive, not the approval of the people. Otherwise, WiAB wouldn't feature a highly controversial fetish like NTR. And you can believe me, I get a lot of shit for that.
My Patreon gets spammed and reported. People tell other people to stop supporting me. I get PM's telling me that with a fetish like NTR, I will never get any significant support and people shit talk me behind my back. To some people, it doesn't even matter if a fetish is
avoidable. The pure existence triggers them.
Does this matter? No, because I am doing my own thing.
It's the same with Miru. She isn't a liked, totally beautiful character and I don't want her to be that. I want flaws in my characters. I view them as "living things". Things that have goals, desires, flaws, and fears. That's why I always say, the characters in my games don't exist for the MC! They have their own "life".
Don't expect the characters to always act logically. It's easy if you look at something from the outside. But how is it when you're in a stressful situation? Logic often doesn't apply there. That reminds me of the people who sit in front of their TV and scream at a soccer player for why he didn't score. "It WaS sO EaSy! YoU BlInD FuCk!11"... Sure, buddy.
[...] when you redo a game you have the risk that people don't like the new version of the game, you have to accept the consequences when that happens [...]
If you read the whole text till now you now know how I feel about it. I don't give in to the crowd.
I love my games, I love my stories, the characters, the flaws, the craziness and I can't just abandon something I love.
I am on an all-time high. I know the updates aren't that fast, especially after I enhanced the quality by 666%. It just takes longer to render and set up. The month of the new PC, June/July can't come fast enough though.
The only thing that can make me abandon a game is death or I lose my eyesight. Whatever comes first.
