you can't expect the game developer to appeal to everyone every single update. Although a warning for nts and ntr might be useful in this case but idc tbh.
Agreed. all software development needs things like user surveys, issues trackers, etc. that all feed into their kanban board (a prioritized todo list over time).
Forums posts don't feed into those organized informational gathering techniques. Posts are from those of us motivated enough to make an effort to post. (even an emotional outburst of a troll'ish remark falls into that motivated herd.)
I suspect more organized feedback is likely appearing on their patreon (and boosty) vs the f95 open forum. Some devs successfully balance both their patreon AND F95 forums - like WDS does with
Waifu Dream City. (IMHO, WDS is amazing with constant engagement and weekly releases since 2023Q3.) For Shybox, it appears they do engage here, but it's sporadic. It could be IRL stuff. Shit happens.
Sometimes I wish the forums had "templates" we could pick from so the Devs who do frequent here can process them. Templates for feature requests, bug reports, etc. so if we have something more than community conversations, we can share it the Devs in constructive format.
