Should I remake/revamp the game?


Hey guys, since this is my last week at work starting next week Lusting my religion will become my full-time job. That's why I just posted a poll on Patreon asking if I should remake/revamp the game?

Why?

  • Since this will become my full-time job I want to make it the better I can
  • Recently I've been learning a lot of Koikatsu and now I'm able to make some of the stuff I didn't know how to make when I started developing it
  • Right now it's not possible to add translations to the game since most of the words in the UI and mini games are hard-coded
  • Some parts of the game are very confusing and repetitive

What would be changed?

  • Main story and events: some part of the story will receive minimal changes just to make them clearer and easier. Also, to add more gameplay
  • H scenes: since H scenes are a very important part of the game(if not the most important) I want to make them even better by adding more views and positions options
  • Renders: new and better renders
  • UI and mini games: more user friendly
  • Code optimization

Although this poll is only for paid members I also want to know what you think about :)

Please let me know!

When about updating the H scenes it means like making the animation more human?

And adding more/extra positions

To be honest, I'll play it as is. But I do think a lot of the interactions in the game feel shallow, and it feels like some areas skip or rush things. Obviously, it's a porn game, but idk I like fleshed our scenarios and such.

(+1)

That's weird, I did skip a lot of stuff because I thought that was what most people wanted from the game only porn related stuff...

if the story is good, i like doing the story stuff, otherwise i tend to skip, but good story defenetly makes the game better

I see

my 2 cents:

when you are not already established a long rework break will cost you supporters and it is possible that you lose interest in the game - the announcement of a rework is too often the last time one sees something about a game. would be a shame for this one, I quite like it :)

when you want to retouch the game: sure, fire away and have fun. but try to combine new content with updated older scenes in one release.

my main issues with the current game is:

* navigation in the convent. so painful, it is unclear if one of the blobs makes you rotate, moves back or leads to a different area. everything w/o a quick link can only be reached by randomly clicking around, I am simply too stupid to understand your approach :D

this could be mitigated by implementing a map-based navigation only for this area (probably quite a lot of work) or when you give the "navigation blobs" unique names as mouse-over text or similar. give me a chance to see where I end

* overarching story. both the MC and Momo are kind of colourless and don't show real interest, the strongest character is imo Melinda, showing initiative and driving the interactions between the persons. I don't mind a bumbling MC much (player agency is reduced with such a PC but I'm fine with simply along the ride) but what about Momo? that she's lazy and does not like to help fits her char well. but she should be *highly* interested to get mor followers and should be much more pushy, forcing the MC to find more potential nuns. and she ought to be socializing a lot with everyone, to spread the word. as goddess she's gone when she is forgotten.

* mini games. I hate them. sorry, completely my fault. it would be great when you'd provide an option to disable them - I am sure I am not alone disliking such game features and not everyone is able to patch the scripts to make them go away

Don't worry, I do want to keep making and eventually finish this game. Actually I want to change most of the game "structure" so I need to remake pretty much the whole game. Thanks for the feedback by the way!

If I'm being honest the Convent area and inside are a little hard to navigate at first, not impossible at all but it took me way too damn long to figure out how to get back inside to sleep before I got the upgrade. Still love this game and its characters it's just that it was a bit of a pain navigating at first

(+2)

Thank you so much for the feedback I'll make some changes to the navigation stuff too :)

(+3)

Yes, navigating is a pain, especially town parts. For me, story is ok, some repetitive stuff are unavoidable, its a game after all, yet there is sometimes too much time to spend between events, and spending it in forest to gather stuff, makes MC strangely rich (but it happens in such games too). I think u shud concentrate on making better scenes and other stuff when making game further, going back  to start is a waste of time, for You and for players.

The thing is that Patreon actually told me already that I have to change some Rita(sister) and Nana(little furry) scenes and dialogues. And since I don't want to have that kind problems later on I think the best thing I can do is to start over making some needed changes

(+2)

In that case, which i understand (company and public laws, etc.), I would suggest changing only necessary, demanded, things. I'm playing this type of games since few years, seen some very good and few very bad.  If we look at  2 examples of the good ones, HHGuild  tries to be perfect form the start,  but we had to wait for remake, and now we wait years for updates. There is the other one with different approach, Corrupted Kingdoms, high quality, but often updates with small steps - players feel its alive and they have something to keep their interest... Just saying... :)

Also, i kinda like that gloomy, depressive atmosphere of Ur game, as I'm in that world quite some years myself, and not many games have that mood.

Cheers

Since I don't want problems with Patreon and they're asking me to make a few changes I have to do them....

Actually, this is the second time I'll remake this game so don't worry it won't take years since I don't want to make this game perfect but just a little bit better for all of you :)

Cheers my friend!

Btw, do you have any idea about how to make the navigation better?

(+3)

Maybe instead of just dots that lead to another area you could make them little arrow signs/ wooden signs or ever put signs on the lamp posts that say where they take you. For example: you go to the main town area and in the bottom right theres a little sign that has an arrow and says "honey's basket" and when you click the arrow you arrive to well Honey's basket. I feel like this could make it fun and interactive with the surrounding area =D just an idea 

(+1)

That's such a great idea! I'll try my best to implement it that way!

Glad I could help will be supporting you as much as I can . You got this!!
