I want to say that I really enjoy CCC 1.0. It does feel different from the 0.5 because a lot has changed, but every single version felt different from the previous one before, I think people just have to get used to it.
I don't mind the bugs or missing features, because most bugs will get fixed with time and you've promised everything that was left out will come back later. As for the new features I really like them. The new model is very versatile in what you want to do. Yeah, the flat face was a bit odd at first but I got used to it fast, plus I figured it's probably better for the facial features which are 2D. The voice acting is amazing. The crafting system might seem a bit barren at this point, with some of the meals not being that good. Although I think it has a potentional to be really good with the addition of new food ingredients and recipes.
I think why some people are so hard on this version is because they've waited so long and expected like a fully finished game. While it is more of a first step to a finished game instead and I think more people should understand that and just be patient with you.
