Siris: How Snowbreak is Changing in the Master Love Era 

As the Harem afficianadoes would say. It's nice my wives are getting along. 😂

The developers have stated that a new writing team and a new direction began with the 1.4 patch, so your intuition is correct.

I hope the story improves over time as well. I personally like master love stories but it needs to be well done. Like Nikke goddess of victory is pretty good with the master love. The characters all still have her own personalities and relationships but they still love the master at the end of the day so it's pretty good imo. I think if they can make the whole story consistent it will be better. I look forward to their reworks on the earlier chapters since I never really enjoyed the story originally Anyways. I just treat the rewrite characters as entirely new and try to enjoy them on their own.

If you see the new story, the one in New Hentiro, that is how it will be. All female characters will thirst over self insert, they will protect you with their life, and you'll protect them. Also you'll always be 2 steps ahead of the villains, which is currently the Board, that was also retconned in Chapter 11 to be the big bads, while in first 10 chapters that wasn't the case. Before Chapter 11 it was the old writer from beta, and since Yehrus it's a new harem writer that came in Tess patch, that's why everything is so different.

@@TheMrToxin I did see New Hentiro. I played through 1-11 and New Hentiro already, and knew going in that there was a writer change, and a direction change post 10. personally the board thing only bothers me as much as the "being steps ahead of them" bit is. even pre 10 they seemed scummy to me if that wasn't also a rewrite. I also get how the core focus is going to be going forward... that said I don't know enough about all the characters to know what else is at risk of change specifically beyond the new core motivation. now im worried about how the staff handles the characters to meet the changes as much as the quality going forward.

@@DarkCT Ok so you played through the story. Well you definitely noticed a 'sharp' change in Chapter 11, that's when new writers came in, and in Tess chapter (Yehrus), another writer came in who CN players call 'brother Kang' and he's the harem writer, and the reason why game became master love. You don't need to worry about anything from Chapter 11 onward, that's the new writing, it's only the first 10 chapters and the personal files that came before Chapter 11, some of it is already retconned like Siris, but others can be too, like Nita, Fritia's file and so on, basically all the characters the game had at launch and in the Festival event, before Chapter 11. And yes the Board originally were the schemers and similar, but weren't the big bads that Chapter 11 made them out to be. Enya and Cherno had a sort of 'mother/daughter' relationship originally, that was also partially retconned, as well as Nita for example not being completely in love with Adjutant, but now all female characters are. So in short, it's only the first 10 chapters and Festival event that can be changed, the ones written the old way.

@@TheMrToxin aye, thats well outlined as to what can be changed. thanks for giving me examples of other changes that may happen. I guess i need to go through the personnel files of Enya, Nita, Cherno, and Fritia at the 4 star amounts to get a feel of what things already were. Enya and Cherno had that kind of set up? I did notice Enya keeping an eye on Cherno in the earlier chapters. funnily enough i think the only 4 star im missing is original sirius. and true, they hadn't been promoted to big bad until 11. that said, from the earlier chapters, the deal one of them had with dietrich over trying to turn people against others in the containment zone still really got to me. honestly after a certain breakpoint chapters 1-10 had me scratching my head at times. I just hope that when the next exosuits or rewrites for launch characters come, it keeps their character more consistent than what happened here. Considering all this, what's your take of the game at this point anyway? I'm not usually a player of any game like this, mechanically nor otherwise.

@@DarkCT Yeah basically all the 4 star personal files and launch content are prone to change, as well as those standard 5 stars like Marian, Fritia and so on. The one who had deal with Dietrich was Pi, which is the same person you meet in New Hentiro, yet it was never mentioned there, which begs to question if that is retconned too, although her character is consistent with the one from before personality-wise. Personally as a Day 1 player who bought all the skins up to 5 star Enya patch, I feel mixed about the game. It has improved in many ways compared to before, everyone thinks new story is better than the one from before, and they even became mainstream in CN recently due to GFL2 drama, and them listening to feedback. But on the other hand, becoming mainstream made them change the game too much, and focus too much on the harem aspect and even after earning so much money, they're still not making new mini games like Monopoly from Summer event. Other games that earn less than them like Aether Gazer constantly make new mini games and even have fully voiced story. Meanwhile Snowbreak is focusing too much on fanservice and retcons now, which I don't like. But overall, game is definitely doing better now and it's superior than it used to be in some ways.

Story doesn't really carry gacha games as much as you would think, especially for the target demographics which are CN and JP players mostly. While it adds background at the end of the day these games HAVE to sell charcaters and you know whats easier then just giving lore? Making them attractive, just in the Enya and Cherno patch they made 20 million alone in CN the highest its every been from its abysmal $500k it used to make with the previous direction they had. Unless you are hoyoverse and have wide global appeal you are better off just cattering to that demographic and build the game off of that.

Enya and Cherno really have to be done at the same time. Tess doesn't have as much lore to work with as she's the first character to have basically no attachments to the world set up in chapters 1-11, so she's lower priority. I was thinking about doing Haru, but after the announcements today I think Lyfe or Fenny is probably more timely.

In order to dispel yuri tourists, I agree. I'd like the writing to have more consistency, but that plays second fiddle for me.

@@tetraavalon3664 Well they had an old writer who was booted so the lack of consistency is inevitable. It is what it is.

I understand the announcement wasn't any happy news, but it's important to note that it was a one sided claim from a Discord moderator who presumably works for member of staff in Seasun's Global Marketing Department. Unless we hear from both Seasun and the agency representing the voice actors, which is unlikely, we cannot claim to know the whole truth. Moreover, the agency negotiates contracts on behalf of the voice actors. It is unlikely that the situation was solely within the voice actors' control. The fact of the matter was that the nature of the job has changed. If Seasun truly wish to bring English voice acting back, they can explore other agencies who would provide suitable talents, as they have provided for other games with similar requirements. Finally, it should have been enough to announce that Seasun did not reach an agreement with the English voice acting agency. It was unnecessary and unprofessional to announce the supposed reason behind such decision. Without an official statement from the agency, the reason new contracts were not signed was solely Seasun's claim.

​@@algwnpwwhat's funny and strange, that announcement attracted a lot of new players

@@iskoconquers Disgusting tourists

I dont think they have a problem with fan service, Remember Yallu Island event?

Is it though? After seeing the scary levels of Para social in Girls Front line. HI3rd, etc. I don't like Companies making money off players' manufactured feelings.

More like sold out and went with the Only fans route.
