What a great disappointment renpy devs have become!

First they give false hope of releasing by so-so week and delay the release by 1 long month!Some BLIND followers will think what's wrong in delaying it by 1 month?

The wrong here is we definitely are not getting another update by this year or even by December seeing the progress and development for this one

Side note:Storywise,this game's already deviated

I don't believe that will necessarily be the case. The update that involves the Bar content always takes longer, because it's generally a more complicated scene. They've been working on it for 3.5 months. So as long as the next update is released shortly. There is a very good chance, the next one will be released before the end of this year.

To be honest, they could delay it another month and I still wouldn't be whining about it. And I can assure you, nobody wants to see it more than me. The update will be released when it's ready. And coming on here and moaning about it repeatedly, won't make a blind bit of difference.

The only time I said something here was when each Sunday the update got more delayed!

Atleast some weekly update could have been posted officially to keep people engaged!There are very few people who use discord here often so most of times some short message or update is uploaded there!How would people know the state of game?

Also someone has to be a CRITIC rather than blindly supporting each and every step what dev is taking!

I'm sorry, but I have followed this developer from "almost" the start of part 1, I'm not sure he has hit any deadline target that he has set, however I now take it with a pinch of salt and add two weeks onto any deadline that is set, however I am also a very cynical person, and believe that those two weeks are for the "whales" that pay the big bucks for early release, and believe that they are playing right now. Now I also understand that where I am typing is an " opportunistic " freebie site, and they have no right to complain about delays, or content, but they will, I only hope it does not deter the "heroes" from linking the game.

I can assure you, the content is not finished. So no need for wild conspiracy theories. If there were people as you claim, that got some kind of secret early release. The chances are, one of them would have already leaked it. Just like people do, when we have the 'actual' early release.

The update, so far has been delayed by one week. What you refer to before, was never a concrete release date, but merely the Devs most optimistic hope. When you saw 'hoped' you should have been able to read between the lines, and recognise that this was something that might happen, but probably wouldn't. So why do you keep saying the update has been delayed over a month, when this is just false?

A fortnight ago, the Dev said he intended to release within a week. That was the first time he made any definite claim about the release date. That means the update has been delayed a week, which in the big scheme of things is nothing. Apart from the early updates (which were much shorter) and were released monthly, the Dev has released between 2-4 months for the last 6 years ( depending on the length of updates). There has been no variation outside this release schedule, except in the minds of some players, who appear to get hysterical when they have to wait longer than two months.

So now we just start believing that when dev says he is hoping to release by end of some month or 1st week of next month we consider it as end of the next month according to your logic!
It's not my first time but I have seen renpy game devs like perfect housewife,project myriam etc devs taking efforts and pushing updates with quality I can assure you in span of 1 month an even they say they hope but gradually release in 1 month span

I don't think you are complaining but merely pointing something out which is totally legit in my book ... and also pretty substanciated if you follow the devs behavior.

I like the game very much but i really despise these constantly recurring last minute excuses which are often pretty lame.

What reason do you have to think that? He hasn't said anything more than he said on Wednesday?
These are just my guesses, in this update the bar scene will have the two routes, that is a lot of work, that is why the update is taking so long to come out, also some renders will be added to John and Andrew's scene, not to mention the plot change that Deep mentioned.

Well yeah, if you're assuming that it's going to be released on a date, when the Dev has clearly stated he MIGHT release, if everything goes according to plan. Then I think you're being overly optimistic. The problem is, if a Dev tries to be optimistic and gives a date he's not entirely certain about, to please his most impatient fans. They all take it, like he was giving a cast iron guarantee to release on that date. I've lost count of the number of times, I've had to remind people of this, on this thread. Who never read the Devs posts properly, and just seem to see what they want to see.

You mention Project Myriam. It's a great game, one of my favourites and Zorlun does an amazing job to release updates every 1-2 months. But it's far less complex than this one. As a sandbox game, with a phone function, which is heavily integrated into the gameplay, the devs have created a rod for their own back. Because they messed up during early implementation of this function, which now causes issues in every update that is released (which is why old saves are often so problematic). Zorlun doesn't have to deal with any of this, because his game is so much simpler in form.

The other main difference, is that Project Myriam doesn't have any animated scenes. And animations can take a long time to get right. The current problems that the Devs are dealing with, are likely entirely down to the animations, which Deep mentioned in an earlier update. So it might appear to you, that other game Devs can release much quicker than Deepsleep, but without the right context, such comparisons are meaningless.

Personally, I think it's the animated scenes. Deep doesn't say a lot, but he did mention issues with the animations, so I think they've been struggling to get them right. And he did say there were going to be more animations in this update, than normal.
