I checked my old saves' time stamps and it's almost exactly one year since I played this. Nice amount of additions. Wanted to pick this up again because it's almost like a sexy Halloween game.
Changed what I wanted to say. Sorry.Deleted your post before I could respond to it with only one sentence huh? "Not enough content" wasn't my main criticism but okay bud. It's the consistency with which Geeseki does very little to nothing every update and the way he's defended for it. Not the content itself, or lack thereof but that he continually comes up with less than he promises. He could only have 2 scenes in the game and that'd be acceptable because it's still being worked on, however, it's been... 3 years? 4? I recall him saying it was one year in December of 2017, so that means he started late 2016. Almost 3 years.
And this is where we're at, where other games have started and finished already.
You don't have to build a game from scratch using Ren'py to look around and notice things are off, and no one said it was easy, but there's mounting evidence that not only is he doing fine but the Patreon page says he makes $4k a month which is well above the US average, well above what most other Patreon devs make too. Even with a team of people he'd still be making a good sum of money.
Again I'm not a movie director but when I watched The Last Jedi I noticed plot inconsistencies, a penchant for subversion despite a total lack of narrative satisfaction or even making sense at all, etc. and I was able to read about how Rian Johnson's script in the final version of the movie was 90% of the original draft and he totally ignored Mark Hammil's feedback on Luke Skywalker and the plot notes JJ Abrams left him because of all the setups he'd made in TFA. See, I'm not an expert movie-maker, but I can criticise a movie because I'm informed enough about it, you can learn a lot on the internet.
Likewise I can look at a game like this, after 3 years with so little progress and how many excuses the man's made, his lack of transparency and more recently raising his Patreon rates arbitrarily and I can see red flags. No one's saying Geseeki OWES anyone anything. People's complaints are that progress is slow and he's making enough money to devote himself fulltime to this but he's not, releases are buggy and lack content, etc. etc. No one's angry because he OWES them money, YOU'RE saying that, YOU'RE asserting that people are saying this. If we're allowed to make baseless assertions based on our own biases like you're doing then there's no argument, you're just a white-knight.
Here, let me use your own argument because obviously speaking reasonably doesn't stick with you:
"You've never made a full game so you'll never understand whether or not it's hard. You can't argue against people who criticise anything because you've never made one of it, therefore you shouldn't be defending Geeseki. You're not allowed to."
Feedback doesn't stop when a person admits they have a problem, if the problem persists the criticism persists, it continues until they fix it. This is true of all things, nothing changes otherwise. He's constantly breaking promises and jerking people around, and stalling, every release has a ton of bugs, and among other things that's fine. These are, however, things people are free to criticise him about so long as he continues to do them, because they continue to be true, and as new people come by and learn about this or old people come back to this and notice the problems persist they'll want to talk about them and discuss them, that's why it's an open forum. If you're upset about the natural progression of time and what that means for people coming and going that's a you problem, isn't it?Changed what I wanted to say. Sorry.
Using my own argument, I've made art. I've made content. I understand that when you do this, it's never a consistent thing, and what you are capable of and someone else is capable of, are two different things. No two people are the same. Saying there is not enough content is not the same as there being plot holes in a movie. And notice, how that movie, with millions of dollars and talented people involved, still has problems. Why is anyone expecting perfection from this shit when the creator has already told you how shitty he is at it?
You're right, G is a lazy shit. But if you're still gonna complain about it years after knowing it, that's a you problem. If you think this is bad, go read the SS thread right now. Got arguments about how big of a pyramid scam SS is due to how little is put out, and that's by a team of people making thousands a month. G just hired 2 people, right? ANd he's making a fraction while readily admitting he ain't working on this full time, like DC says he is.
People are saying he owes them something, more content. The person I was originally quoting was complaining about the new content being a thimble full. If this an art, he's allowed free reign. If this is a business, he's gonna fail if he doesn't give people what they want. People's complaints about art taking time can go fuck themselves. We have zero idea what G is dealing with, and the same goes for DC. You think things that aren't necessarily true. What if his real job pays him 100k. You think he's gonna give that up for a measly 4k a month? What if, what if, what if. We don't know.
Did you try the porn shop?I stuck at Jane side story cant find a spare box after i have talk with all people in town
Go to Effie's house after you talk to her about having fun and choose to wait for her to arrive. Scene should trigger afterwards.this scene doesn't trigger and i've done what it says twice and i have finished miss alaway's story +Added Allaway x Effie x MC Effie’s Bed H-scene (Finish Miss Allaway’s story, Ask Effie at the Cafe for some fun on a Saturday)
Thanks, its works!I found out how to do it. After talking with Effie on Saturday at the Cafe, go straight to her house and knock on her door. Choose to wait for her. I talked to Allaway outside the cafe first, not sure if that matters or not.
thank youGo to Effie's house after you talk to her about having fun and choose to wait for her to arrive. Scene should trigger afterwards.
