Great takes. This people are getting way too comfortable with changing the game main points and abandoning it and start a new project. There should be a punishment to do so. Like Patreon charging the scum dev some money if they want to continue posting BS excuse to stop working in the game in patreon.
I truly like the game mechanism now but rn its so lacking about how the game is supposed to be play. I hate this type of defeat scene but no in fighting scene.
And right here, you hit the nail on it's head. There seems to be no accountability besides the court of public opinion if a dev decides to change a game partway, not fulfil expectations, etc. And if the developer is dead set on removing/banning comments pointing this out (there are some major examples that come to mind), there is virtually no way to warn new subscribers besides venting on dumpster fires like f95. It's actually a serious problem as it makes way for developers to do whatever they want.

Yeeeeppp, oh and get ready for few comments coming your way, most likely from "new users" that defend the game dev like they get paid for it lol
They can but I'm talking about the hentai game industry itself. If talking about developer accountability gets people in a huff, then already something is a bit fishy. I wish there was some kind of 3rd party agency that regulates Patreon by doing status checks on games, an audit in a sense, so developers can't just have an ongoing project forever, be untruthful about the status of a game, and/or steer too far from the initial game expectation (unless with some kind of way to *legitimately* gauge community support). I find a lot of hgame devs want to pull up their big boy pants and be a professional game designer but leave at the door what actually makes something professional such as accountability, transparency, and at the end of a day a shippable (aka actually complete) product.
But to stay on topic, I would be interested to actually know why the switch from card battler to VN. I enjoy card battlers quite a bit (big fan of STS), but very few hgames get it right. That upcoming Knightly Passions game seems to be a strong candidate for something well done.
Patreon, and many other crowdfunding or monetization plataforms really SHOULD have more protective measures: Anti-scam practices, really getting into what the dev or team are doing...
But that would mean more work, more people and less money, in short: Its never going to happen.
Not until the western industry is co-opted by already existing businesses and the wild west of f95 will be over.

Out of curiosity, since i never followed this game or anything - when was this "onhold"-ed?
The pics make this game look very much like Karryns Prison.

What's funnier is that the male MC isn't even like, some tough looking MF that goes and gets women. He's a twink who's face is drawn in the exact same way Vel draws chicks, lmao.
Monster Girl Dreams Mentioned, +1 Respect. The world needs more Monster Girl games with a dominant path for the guy MC.

He should find a competent dev team(and a good PR person) with a great coder, have THEM make Saria Reclaimed and he can just shut-up and draw the art. He has proven to have NO people skills what so ever.
If we all look at the entire porn game industry, we'll see that it's generally underpaid. Do you really want some 3rd party monitoring underpaid developers when they do or do not do something?
Exactly, so the only way to make it better is to support people so they can work on their games full time and have the potential to show the results and the concurrency.
For example, take a look at the top 10 developers on Patreon. How many of them show transparency, good work ethic, stable updates?
Look at DC for example, how many full time indie developers can you support with the money he gets every month for wallpapers? Wallpapers can be generated with AI, He gets $62K - $178K every month.
The original post of this is gone. Does anyone have the bug fixes that were mentioned?
I was so confused when I downloaded this game. I looked up games similar to Karryn's prison and I got this visual novel thing. I thought I was retarded when people were talking about it, and what I was playing was completely different. Glad to know I'm not retarded and it's just the dev that is.
I think if people had more trust in the developers, people would be more willing to pay more rather than make bets on a game that may or may not come out. I used to subscribe to different projects all the time, but now really only subscribe to the devs that have shown that they can release new products. This doesn't give new devs much of a chance, but I've have it too many times where it turns out the developer is way over their head. I hear ya, any I dont know who would do it, but perhaps Patreon start having a "check in" function for devs or something?

So... I guess Saria it's gonna be reclaimed by the abandoned tag soon.
