Dude, give the guy (or kid a break)... Considering the fact that you played a bare bones DEMO and the game is NOWHERE close to being anywhere near complete, and this was their very FIRST attempt at 3D game making and using this engine, etc. etc. I'd say that they did a pretty great job and show tons of promise. Long story short, I'd say instead of just bashing the efforts of first time game developers enough to maybe make them wanna quit and give up, maybe just give em more constructive criticism that inspires them to wanna improve, and keep going to try and make things better, especially in cases like this, when the effort is actually pretty amazing considering it's someone's literal first attempt at 3D game making, and way more involved/original compared to the usual basic ass VN we usually get from everybody.This game is plagued by a bunch of Blizzard like game design. Grinding and testing my patience is NOT gameplay. Through the 2 hours I've played this, I found 5 hearts, some creepy statue in a cave I needed lube for, and not a single piece of flint.
Never mind the absolute absurdity of constructing a cutting tool and a pickaxe with flint. Flint is SOFT. It would make a terrible material for tools. But even disregarding that why would you make such a scarce item a core necessity of STARTING your tech tree, it just boggles the mind. Why would you think this is a good idea?
Also the leveling system is awful, and kinda pointless. Everything is a worthless passive skill giving something like 1% double loot chance, 1% hunger meter, or 1% slower stamina drain when running per point invested, you get 3 pity-points/level. At level five I already need 2k+ xp to level up while you get less than a 25-75xp for actions like picking up resources, crafting etc. This becomes repetitive and dull insanely fast, and not because there aren't enough things to craft. This is a formula for boredom. If you multiplied the skill% increases by 10 it would still be boring, but at least it wouldn't be tedious. Also there really is no reason for the search action you can send the girls on to take so long. Just...why? Realistic? Sure. Serves no purpose from a design standpoint? Extra sure. Making the search take like 20 seconds could offset when flint just doesn't spawn for example.
The lewd stuff is promising. Just somewhere along the line the dev seem to have forgotten what the point of this game is.
