VN Ren'Py A Perfect Marriage [v0.7.5b] [Mr Palmer]

[boobthief]

I've seen it escalate for over a year now with longer update times and more excuses. What a shame so many devs do the same thing. Thats what happens when devs have no consequences for delaying or just taking their time. They spread out the work load so they get double the money from doing the work slower.

I seem to support the devs that start out good and do the hard work early. Then they get comfortable not working that hard and end up exploiting their supporters. Recently its easier to tell when they start to fall into that lazy mode and the excuses form.

Yeah, a lot of game devs coast along after they are successful. The novelty and hunger are gone, like the difficult second album syndrome.

Another reason for delays is perfectionism - constantly rewriting and trying to please everybody. The paying supporters who are left are, by virtue of them still paying actually enjoy being teased, the type that say things like, "this is the best game ever so take all the time you need, don't worry, we know the next release will be perfect." So another month of fiddling gets added every month.

I've seen quite a lot of rewriting in A Perfect Marriage, going back to older versions to tweak the text. I think this developer is pretty deep down that rabbit hole, allowing the last 20% 5% of work to take 80% of the time to finish.

If they don't address this with their next release and explain their plan to solve it, this game will limp on with slower and slower updates until it's abandoned (with people still paying). The Winds of Marriage, A Dream of Divorce.

The point what MP makes a reason for delay that started after development of CH3..We actually didn't mind those delays like he said he was on holidays, weekend off, cyclone etc..it's absolutely fine..we get it. But he kept doing it on every update since that time with different reasons..which unfortunately ended in trump becoming a president is bothering his commitment to VN. Fine even if we take that reason for a month...then what stopping him now for this month? He already shared last sneak peek that will be from the next update 11-12 days back. It does mean that renders are done for this update. He just need to do programming and that too for a "small update"...He took 14 days usually for a normal update and now 11-12 days gone after his last sneak peek of next update..His artist has shown better commitment than MP to the project...I guess now his reason might be to perfecting it, re writing essay like dialogues or he's just being lazy.

Those are MP reason..Now as a gamer, consistent delay in the update especially in slow corruption game takes interest out of the game. This thing MP needs to understand. Many of them lost their interest, and whenever the update will come for free they will play rather than subscribing to him which offcourse he doesn't mind...because MP don't interact with members that much, neither he showed commitment to complete the update ontime ..its more like whenever he gets free time. The excitement about story/scene with tease fest will fade away with upcoming time, then MP will understand what his excuses for delay with slow corruption has done. Like AWAM after 8 years, I mean do all of us wait eagerly for a sneak peek the way we use to wait earlier?? nope, we already know it'll be blueballs. Same way it will go with APM. Even if he doesn't want to give sneak peek to the members then also it's fine. No excitement will be left after an year if he go this way for his VN because after sometime people will get use to his laziness. If that what he wants, then sure don't listen to members complain, no need to give update progress once in 10 days and do whatever he feels like to do... his subscriber count will come down.

He's taking this project as perfect hobbyist rather than perfecting in work and commitment.. and behave like whenever he gets time after his work / life / holidays/ country political environment/ weather, then he will look into this VN.

Stop paying attention. Why you guys get bothered by some free porn games.
I check this site when I shit, if it's there, it's there, if it's not there, who gives a fuck.
Go live a life.

People who paid for it gives a shit. And people like you who login to check with a hope for an update after few days, read all the comments and give their opinion ,,,,,,,,like you said dont give a fuck where you are actually giving a fuck.

Only Sophia doesn’t age in 8 years, she actually looks younger than when the game started, while her children look older

Those kids were like 10yo and now they're adults. When it began and she went from looking 35 to now looking 24yo.

L&P is a mess.

Anna IRL is so perfect...!! [FAN ART]

 

[ifss]

when I shit, if it's there, it's there, if it's not there, who gives a fuck.

You may want to get that checked.

 

[klou]

nah...

I give a fuck about people who lose it over porn games. Some of them are good people, they share the news, share the update.

This game? pffff, I pointed out all the bs of this Dev few years ago, the game and Dev means shit to me, like I said, if it's there it's there, if it's not there, who gives fuck.

Edit: If you are a member, stop paying if it bothers you that much.

I won't post anything here if I dont really give a f.

 

[mike087]

It's been more than 5 months already. Any news?

 

[Scotty Doesn't Know]

You're so full of shit! How did you point out the BS of the dev a few years ago? This game hasn't even been out for 3 years yet lol. Which means nobody would even know how he operated until at least 6 months in and he was perfectly good delivering on time updates and good writing then. So you wouldn't have been able to point anything out, until maybe just over a year ago when the smaller problems actually started.

Now I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming just like me, your account here is not your first, so the date it started doesn't reflect how long you've actually been here. Because you've got fuck all posts to your name.

Either way stop telling porky pies

[kayoo007]

Is this game dead?

 

[catgameryt011]

will it be because of team marvin, that mrs palmer throws a tantrum, seeing that only a handful are team chris?

 

[DylansMoM_001]

The perfect marriage is over ?

Forget about giving a proper developer update — this guy can't even manage a decent sneak peek! And the excuses? Oh, they're award-winning. One day, a hurricane conveniently sweeps through his city; the next, Trump apparently triggers an earthquake at his company. Then suddenly, he’s "too sick" to work, or he’s "busy spending quality time with his wife and kids" — how touching. Sometimes he claims he got delayed because he added a gallery to the game, other times because he heroically decided to rebuild the entire game from scratch. And just to top it off, he switches off payments to make himself look like some kind of martyr for honesty.

Honestly, I’m beyond done with this guy.
At the beginning, this game was hyped up and even put on a pedestal alongside big names — and sure, why not? Back then, at least we got updates every two months like clockwork.

But here we are now — welcome to the circus where every developer pulls the same cheap tricks.

And Mr. Palmer? Don’t even get me started. The man wouldn't know what a real update looks like if it hit him in the face. And on the rare occasion he does post something after four or five weeks, it's the same old song: "I don’t know when the release date will be."
Bravo. Truly inspiring.
Bullshit wrapped in glitter.

 

[shadowking99]

So the question again is, whens it gonna be out?

 

[Z3lda1980]

I don’t think anybody know that answer even me palmer himself

 

[secretcador]

So the question again is, whens it gonna be out?

When he congratulated his subscribers for easter that's implied he's taking an easter break. There's nothing left in the development because the writing and animation is done, they just need to pack it (program it) and release, yet Mr. Fluid is saved by the easter's bell, now he's with his fam taking a break.

 

[Haza34]

Loving the game, i'm really hoping there is gonna be a comeuppance path/ending or whatever. Retribution must be had!
