Alright HRPG, let's chat again. Your 0.83 first release was complained about on a few sites, so yes I picked up on that tidbit. Here we are at public 0.83 final and you've still got bugs, let's talk about those. I didn't really bug test much because your game has far too many for anybody with a clue how to use RPGmaker (me and my 2 days included).
1) If you go to the public restrooms in the mall and try to enter the male bathrooms, Ayame's CG sprite stays on the screen for the rest of the game.
2) If you go to the massage parlor or the hotsprings and pass time, it breaks the game because the forced plotlines with Melvin or Sato act as if they've triggered, but then when you actually go back to those jobs, they bug out and can no longer proceed. In one instance, I skipped the 2nd day of work at Melvin's pub where Ayame is molested at the counter by Melvin. The next day Melvin is at the counter again but he is also in his office at this point you can no longer proceed the storyline.
3) Not a bug but if you use the subway to go to the mall, you appear on what seems to be the second floor in the middle of the mall, yet if you go to either the far right or left ends of the mall, that puts you back on the subway??
4) You're still not doing a good job catching spelling and grammatical errors. Sato calls the 7/11 a "story" instead of a "store" when he asks Ayame to watch it for him. "Ther" was used in a place "the" should have been used. Like I just don't get it, if English is your native language, how do you miss any of this? As an example look at your 3rd Hsample image in your first post "It's the first time I do something this dirty", not really the best grammar there, eh?
5) Your brag about patches and speed of completion and etc, your game forces the player on a train tracks to push the storyline routes, it plays like a visual novel in RPGmaker, it's not really giving the player any freedom to make choices currently, you choose a route and basically that route plays out.
6) You have stats for Ayame which do nothing? Morality, Lust, Charm, Career? It's like you're trying to make your game sort of like Acerola games or any one of the finish RPG maker games where stats matter... but again, you only have railroadtrack events right now without any requirements.
7) Your first post in this thread was over a year ago (29th May 2016, 20:59) and you're not anywhere near a finished game. From the amount of content versus the amount promised, you appear to be around 15% into content. Also, pretty sure this tread started after you deleted another thread after you were bashed a ton for milking Patreon.
8) You want to compare yourself to other devs in terms of speed? There are several devs that push content faster than you, Dating my Daughter, Summertime Saga, Noxian Nights and Slice of Venture among others. You have zero finished games under your belt and have not delivered much as of now.
9) In terms of total content, it appears you have 40-45 CG scenes right now so if we say 45 CG and this thread started 18 months ago that gives us 45/18=2.5 CG scenes per month, that doesn't seem very fast to me..
10) Oh and while I'm here, I might as well mention that when you shave pubes or activate X-ray it doesn't seem to work as intended. Some of the scenes take the effect (show pubes as intended) but others do not.
I know you don't like hearing about the bad stuff because you don't like negative feedback but it's not like anything I've brought up is untrue. I wish you the best of luck milking this game!
1) That's absolutely not true as all our events have an instance of "Erase all pictures" which would erase that picture. You are not at any point in the game currently required to go to the public restroom in the mall. Patreons are aware of this very minor bug.
2) You're not supposed to use that yet, Patreons are aware of it. Those were created in preparation for the Free Roam patch and were introduced last patch.
3) Yes, all paths lead to Rome, you can go to the subway in many ways, use your imagination, we're not going to draw a super complex complete subway system because you can't make an assumption that if you're in the subway again, it's because those stairs lead to the subway via a different path...
4) I don't give a rat's ass about spelling errors at this point, I can't stress this enough. Also, again, english is NOT my native language as I've stated a bajjilion times, I'm Portuguese. Grammar will be fixed when our spellchecking team is actually asked to do it, but again you missed something I pointed out so go read my last post directed at you. Don't worry, I'll quote it for you!
"You know what's silly? Complaining about how fast people release patches and then tell them "but you know what you can do? you can delay patches further if you let me test your game (aka play it for free) before you release it and get rid of all the typos". No one gives a shit about the typos, specially since I go back and change entire dialogues
all the time, so proofreading something that might not be in the final version, THAT'S what I consider silly, we have two proofreaders, one of them an actual English teacher for 12th grade."
5) Uhh... Yeah? It's called creating a setting so you can branch out later on from a rich backstory, did you also complain at Squaresoft that Final Fantasy VII promised an "open world" but you couldn't leave Midgar for the first 2~3 hours of gameplay? Or that you didn't start the game with Omnislash? See how this sounds ridiculous? Because that's how ridiculous sugar picking is.
6) Morality actually already plays a MASSIVE part in the game, you can't see some scenes if Ayame's morality isn't low enough. Career will play a huge part in the very next patch since the next job is coming out, the other two will play a part eventually.
7) Not anywhere near a finished game by who's standards? Most games come out with less than 20 hentai scenes, you go at DLSite right now and you have games with 8 CG's for 20$. The last little red riding hood game that came out like 2~3 days ago costs 14$, has 4 CG's.
Most games that claim 40~45 have a fuckload of re-used CG's and most hentai scenes are composed of a still image and like 2~3 face edits, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, I even showed an example to why Noxian Nights was completed much faster than Alansya Chronicles, most of their CG's are re-edits with little changes, their maps are RTP, their soundtrack is mostly (if not all?) RTP, so to each it's own I guess? You might prefer that way and it's totally fine, loved Noxian Nights, great game, not naysaying it but it's really like comparing apples and oranges.
Also I requested a mod to close the thread because the game title changed and I told him/her I would ask for it to be re-opened when I was ready to release a public patch, it was suggested that I just created a new thread, so, AGAIN, you're just talking nonsense out of your ass.
8) 3D devs pushing patches faster then us? No fucking way! Already mentioned Noxian Nights, Slice of Venture is smaller than our first demo and what happened to the author of Summertime Saga? Oh right, he had like a 6 people team and then quit because he was literally starting to lose money creating the game because he had to pay a ridiculous ammount of money for such an expensive team? That was literally his last post right? Right!
Again... You have NO IDEA, what you're talking about.
9) Yeah, but you also totally forget that before we started drawing CG's we drew 24 characters and expressions for all of them, 14 sets of clothes for Ayame, assets for the maps and sprites, assets for future games, and our characters weren't plagiarized from an existing game or premade 3D models that you can just grab of the internet and render as you wish, they were invented and created from scratch, that is a long process of which, again, you guessed it, you don't have the SLIGHTEST knowledge about.
10) We're aware, left it for later.
So, to finish, I have no problems hearing about "bad stuff", I seriously have zero problems with criticism, in fact I encourage it, I just don't have patience for people who say the same shit over and over (let's call these arguments, Argumentation A) disregarding all the facts that are presented to them and pretend they didn't even see them while they make up some new arguments (let's call these new arguments, Argumentation B) that are just nonsensical ridiculous bullshit to fuel their tirade, and when Argumentation B also fails because it was even worse than Argumentation A, they go back to Argumentation A like nooooothing happened.
Oh and then they get butthurt and say "good luck milking your patreons". Kudos for originality champ.
Don't bother replying to this if the goal is for me to read it, I'll just ignore every post of yours from now on since the forum doesn't have a block function yet, but assume it has and you're in it.
keep up the good work.
