Really Want To Play But I Feel Evil If I Do - Blog Posts

Man, I want to play the game again, but I just can't. Even associating myself with the game through playing it feels like I'm supporting its dev and community, and at this point doing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth to the point that I haven't touched the game since november.

The progression of VotV's development is garbage. Pt. 1

This game have just turned into another Yandere Simulator where any real development to the game is non-existent. Each new update to the game is just utterly broken and all the majority of new content to the game is just easter eggs and random shit for the sandbox mode. VotV is already at 8.2 yet nothing has changed in game's basic gameplay, mechanics and horror element or anything to make the game more interesting. Sure the redesign is cool n all but the game is a hollow shell of it's former self. And it's pretty clear that the developers don't care about actually finishing the game. For every "big updates" they add at least 12% of new events and special signals into the game, but everything else added is just easter eggs, memes, self-inserts and bullshit features and content that serves 0 purpose shoved into the game. It's pretty clear that the developers have zero idea on what to actually add in term of making the game more interesting so all they do is throw any useless features into the game to see if it works. Now the game is no longer a signal hunting horror game and is just a shitpost G-mod sandbox game. The horror aspect of this game is not there anymore. The eerie atmosphere the game once had is completely gone as nothing in term of horror of any kind is there. Really how can you take this game serious anymore when there is this you can find IN GAME.

Or the fact you can befriend the catgirl aliens. All the actual horror and scary stuff in the game have gone completely stale as they're not that scary. Playing through the game a second time will just be completely boring as all the cheap jumpscare attempts are just plain dumb.

The Arirals were not scary and never will be. The Rozitals, although very awesome and underrated, are just not scary. All the Aliens in the game are just dumb and/or not even scary. The only exception I can make are the Greys and yet they are the most undeveloped addition to the game and it's lore. The Greys were clearly never planned to be in the game, as drnose have said many time before that they wouldn't be the game. But that changed because of Joel and his fear of them. Joel is the only large youtuber who gives this game attention. The Greys are the best part of this game, however they do not have the same spotlight as the Arirals. The Greys have barely any lore due to how undeveloped it is since drnose care more about his 6 tiddie catgirl aliens the arirals. The Greys were actually the only good redeeming addition to the game after 6.2 and they are unfortunately not going to be expanded upon.

The game is already losing its relevance as many former fans are leaving the fanbase because of how scummy the developers are and how disgusting and degenerate the fandom is. And any new videos about VotV, especially from Joel, have dropped significantly in viewer counts.

The only thing keeping this game alive is the multiplayer mod that is currently in development, but yet it still won't save the game from becoming dead before it gets into Alpha.
