Re: The "I wish" thread
I don't dislike you, or speaking with you.
And that's actually kind of the problem, I don't have too many constructive things to say so instead of being a dick... Along with that I really don't have much to tell you about your games because I'm a pirate and most of your games don't have copies floating all over the internet.
It's obvious you're TRYING, but something's just not clicking for you. Though you do seem to be able to complete projects, which is something that even devs with amazing talent seem to struggle with, perhaps a management role would be better? IDK
Your spritework isn't bad but it's... vintage, I guess is the best way to describe it, and I dunno what you can do to improve. Same with CGs, though you've gotten better at these, so I guess ask someone who's more knowledgeable how to improve and practice more?
As far as H concepts, you're actually pretty good in this department taking a theme and running with it, including multiple kinks along the way so as to appeal to a wide market. Sometimes that might not be the best way to go, but it's always a gamble anyway.
Gameplay... I have gotten the chance to play a few demos and yes even those games that were torrented. You take a simple idea and either throw RNG at it or ramp it up to a near-frustrating level, science girl for example; I barely made it through most levels and there was no way I was going to make it through the next with the remaining life (you did well implementing stage select to mitigate this).
Some people enjoy frustrating difficulty in their H-games, I don't know if they're the majority or not but I'm not one of them, challenge is fine but frustrated+dick in hand has never been a good combo for me personally.
Then if we go to RNG, well I absolutely can't stand RNG. Once again this is just me, but I've spent alot of years getting fucked by RNG, hours grinding for drops enemies that dodge the hit that will kill them etc. And again I have no idea how you could make that better.
Perhaps try designing a more complex game?
And try not putting too much stock in what 4-chan says, it's a place where anonymity reigns free and being a dick is expected. Though they are right, you are improving.
