> You do know they have a life right?

Okay? Then why even bother making anything? I mean as far as I am aware even doing this much work already have taken out from dev's life, so why even bother at this point?

> They're not obligated to make updates frequently for anyone, it's just a hobby he likes making.

The moment you entice your audience to spend their pretious time and emotional investment on your product you *do* become obligated to deliver on it, "it's just a hobby" isn't an excuse anymore. It would be one thing if it would be just a collection of short stories, but this is a somekind of slowburn mystery with multiple plotlines going on, an I can say with 90% that none of them are ever going to get resolved because both the audience and its creator will run out of patience before that. 

> Also if your going to give constructive criticism, be nice

Ok you are right on that one, but with death of freedom of expression when you always have to be nice to everyone it's becoming increasingly difficult to just not let it all out. I always tried to be nice to vn's I've criticised and it led it to me writing some absurd posts and previews with something like "right now this novel is kinda shit but I still have faith in it" because large portion of fvns are so bad I have feeling they were written by chatgpt (althought at least this vn isn't of those so I guess I can give it that as a compliment)

You certainly don't need to be nice just because people ask you to, but I do believe it's a better strategy to convince the person you speak to.

I know it's hard for some people (that includes me), but the first impression is important, try not to fail it when your goal is to convince people.

(1 edit)

Your right on those points, the dev has a really whack update schedule and I'd be lying that I can wait for a Gran day 3.

But even so, isn't that all fvn's? I don't see a fvn that has a weekly update, either it takes 2-3 months to put out an update or an entire year so you really have to lower your expectations and just hopelessly wait (this is copium) even my favorite fvn can have delays and there's really nothing we can do.

We either bash the dev to make more consistent updates (will not work) or fossilize until a new update comes out 😭 we can't really do anything.
