Users indicate that while the program shows potential, it lacks effective optimization, particularly in areas like sprite editing and autosave features. They suggest that implementing switch commands could enhance performance, and an overall update to optimization would significantly improve the user experience.
“For future programming, I might add that switch commands really help with optimization.”
“Again, I love what you're doing here, but if you just update the optimization, this program will be way better.”
“The cons are that it doesn't have an easy way to edit sprites, it doesn't have autosave, and it's not the most optimized.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly when it comes to manually naming every bone and the cumbersome process of rotating the shader 3D layer, suggesting that a more straightforward rotation method would enhance the experience.
“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.”
