Before I go 'on a tangent rage induced' speech of an 'argument'. I will say that of course, I understand this is you're POV and thoughts about the game. I'm merely trying to expand and explain a few key things. So that yourself and others have more information to this game and the dev. So, if ANYTHING I say comes across as 'rude or argumentative'. It's really not the case, this is purely just how I talk/type.
To start off, here are some reasons as to why some things might be done 'lazily' as I'll call it. (I would also like to note that obviously I DO NOT speak for the dev. My words are nothing but plain and simply. My words. If I misspeak anything or give false info. I apologize in advance.)
1. This game is purely (as far as I'm aware) solo developer territory. Every piece of art, enemy, attack, animation, menu, sound and pixel. Is done by 1 person and only that person. So, while a lot of the art might not be pixel to pixel perfect. It is of course, something that will be worked on as time goes by.
2. Going off the fact that there is a single dev. Everything that is requested whether by want or need. Is something that is heavily considered. Not by the ideas of "is this cool enough?' but rather "can I actually pull this off while maintaining my sanity?" so to speak. (For example, I had offered the idea of stat boosting, via ingesting armor pieces. Or using your companion as a 6th piece of equipment. But came to terms that it wasn't good enough with little debate.) So whether or not I agree with any ideas is beside the point. It's purely up to the dev and the amount of support this game gets. (Though I do think enemy vore would be super neat. It would of course lead to nit picking what enemies could/should be able to do so. Which would probably lead to people complaining about 'why no vore animation for X or Y enemy? Game bad!' or something like that.)
3. Finally, as people are already aware (yourself included) this is a game that is still being developed. Beta/Alpha etc, most things in this game could be chalked up to placeholders, temporary pieces and reused assets (purely to save time and provide a fully functional game). Most certainly not actual laziness. As I've already said but will say it again anyway. How far this game will go is mostly determined by how much support it gets. With only currently (8?) people supporting it. You can imagine it's going to be a slow process.
As a fun little side note, while yes, the first boss is cheesed by it. Every boss in this game has a 'safe zone' so to speak. (In totality mode it's 100% needed). It just so happens that because the first boss moves around. Rather than staying in place and summoning more enemies. You can use the safe zone to just freely attack and never worry about getting hit.
That all being said. I will once again apologize should I have said anything untrue or rudely. My only goal is to bring more clarity to anyone who is interested in this game. As it is a really good game and deserves all the love and support it can get. <3
