Two or three things to say, sugarcoating? no, this thread has always been known for telling it like it is, WIAB was abandoned for 17 months, we have never sugarcoated anything.
Ocean never said he would stop SG work to finish a chapter of WIAB, it was exactly the opposite, he stopped work on WIAB to complete SG chapter 4 faster.
How much time did you pay? 1 month, 2? were you in the 17 month limbo?
Chapter 2 was short? yes, compared to SG, it was a sigh. And so? I liked it just the same.
Chapter 3 is going to be short? maybe yes, compared to SG again, but there is Miru here.
You felt ripped off by Ocean, perfect, no one can even give an opinion about how someone who pays feels about the return he receives for his collaboration, but don't say that things are being sweetened here, read the thread a little to realize it.
I have read this post so many times trying to figure out if I should say something about it... Ignore it, report it, reply to it, agree, disagree. People can do whatever with this. Its a serious post, so its a bit on the long side
I agree to some degree when you say that things arent being sweetened here... And yes, I do read the thread. And because I read it, I know that what you said isnt particularly true...
Sure some people like yourself try to provide good feedback and Im not denying that, but as much as you "tell it like it is" theres always some sort of sweetening attached to it like in the post Im replying. Example: "Chapter 2 was short? yes, compared to SG, it was a sigh.
And so? I liked it just the same."... All the fans liked it to some extent and to be honest I didnt mind that the update was small. Seems like a lot of the followers of Ocean always have a "but" on their sentences... "It took a long time
BUT I liked it"; "Chapter 3 will be short
BUT theres Miru"; "...
BUT now with the new equipment..."
It makes me sad how Ocean is treating this game, a game that when I joined F95 was one of those rare ones that coupled good renders with an amazing story when you did realize that it was his first game. Sure it needed some "refining" but thats to be expected from a 1st game.
Now I just wished he abandoned this game... Its always getting delayed, its always "on the back seat" of SG (makes sense, since SG is the one thats making him more money I guess). Imagine having a game with one of the best potentials in the AVN industry as a "backup"
. Another month where SG jumped the line and I cant be surprised
. Also, the problem arent the yearly releases... Many games do them to good effect but they have to have the content to justify it
Concluding: I cant understand the trust a lot of people put on Ocean since to me he has done almost nothing to deserve it. Maybe my standards are too high
... F95 should be a place where a dev comes for "real reviews and crticicism" but everyone who does a bit of criticism on this dev gets either ignored being labeled a troll that people shouldnt "feed" or gets called out on it and then doesnt have a spine to present the proof of what they are saying
