dd1 has a cult following for a reason. it had cool ideas and generally interesting implementation of them hamstrung by what was obviously a shitty development environment and lack of budget, so tons of the game was unfinished and did not get the polish it needed to shine.

unfortunately, dd2 revealed that itsuno was the issue in the development environment the entire time, and instead of making something truly better, he just made dd1 again without improving basically any aspect on the whole, except this time it takes a much stronger graphics card
