Gang
I'm still depressed and unsure how to continue, even while I worked some on the next Red Island. Thing is, I'm getting negative feedback on the animations so I'm thinking to just stop that. It's a *lot* of work so if it's not appreciated, why bother?
Similarly game-play isn't received well (too complicated? seriously?) and then there's the length or complexity of the story. So that makes me wonder if there's a point to continue it in a different manner (more visual novel with mutually exclusive branches based on choices combined with dating sim like relation building for the action requirements) or perhaps you'd prefer something else entirely, like depicted.
I'm sure to continue with something, maybe even more than one thing, just not what. I apologize for the delay but this result from this much work is a serious downer. Not to mention that it doesn't pay into the household budget a lot and the lady is loosing patience after 3 years. So I might need to spend more time on cubicle slavery of some sort.
