Users express that the program lacks sufficient optimization, suggesting that implementing switch commands could enhance performance. Additionally, they note the absence of features like easy sprite editing and autosave as drawbacks. Overall, there is a strong desire for improvements in optimization to elevate the program's quality.
“For future programming, I might add that switch commands really help out with optimization.”
“The cons are that it doesn't have an easy way to edit sprites, that it doesn't have autosave, and that it's not the most optimized.”
“Again, I love what you're doing here, but if you just update the optimization, this program will be way better.”

Users find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to the repetitive task of manually naming every bone. They express a desire for more efficient controls, such as the ability to rotate normally, to streamline the process.
“Manually naming every bone is tedious.”
“I know that you can rotate the shader 3D layer, but it's a bit tedious, and just being able to normally rotate would be faster.”
