I REALLY, really don't want to be that guy. I know it probably has a lot to do with the virus and everything, but I mean, it's been a year. and in a year, the entirety of the story update is
15 new main story events
3 new Celeste Events
2 new Serra Events
2 new Alex events
2 new Gracie events
2 new Lillian events
And that's it. And most of the story events are literally copy pastas. You get 4 classes, and they're all just minutely edited versions of themselves, and the same thing goes for the introductions to the guild.
You didn't even NEED to release
10+ new locations
10+ new side characters because you literally can't do anything with any of them.
It was added for the sake of being added. You'd already waited a year for an update, I don't see why you just didn't wait till you could actually... you know, interact with the new characters to push the new update. Then you uploaded it to steam with a $10 price tag for a game that barely has 3 hours of content. The level up system was absolutely useless in this update because you can't even do anything with the money you earn lmao. I'm sitting on like $500 just because I wanted to grind to level 10 to see if it even did anything. EVERYTHING you dropped in this update besides the character stories was irrelevant. It was the most incomplete update I've downloaded from any game yet.
I know this is probably the most brutal feedback you've gotten yet, but dude... I've waited a year for this.
Not to mention... Celeste's latest event was just out there. We said she's cute and all of a sudden she's taking nudes of herself, PRINTING THEM OUT and leaving them on our table for the public to see if anyone decided to go into our bedrooms.
I had a random urge to see how far this game had come since I last played it, and backed up my saves from my phone to my computer and downloaded it, and I can't believe how disappointed I was. The only reason I'm even this upset is because like, the base of the game was so promising. Serra, Alex and Lillian were such adorable characters, the story seemed so great, and then.. this just flopped. I hope you don't take this too harshly, because I can't imagine how much time you put into all this. I just wish you would have prioritized other things than a female orc and rebel fae riding us in reverse cowboy.
For its potential I give it a 4/5
but for what you prioritized and dropped I have to give it a 1/5.
This physically hurt me to type out. :(
