VN Ren'Py Anna Exciting Affection [Ch.2 Ep.18] [DeepSleep]

[Zara Scarlet]

the game still has buses that have never been solved like when you move from one map to another Anna's dress changes. and it's one of the bugs I've encountered since I started playing it a year ago (September 2023). the real problem is that it has been releasing updates for about a year at a distance of many months. For example at the end of January 2024 Anna tells Jeff that they would meet again but not for work... we are in September and still nothing is known about this meeting and in which update there will be

Well they're going for a trip into the mountains. So that's almost certainly a weekend date. The coming update is Friday. So it will be either the next (Saturday) or the one after (Sunday).

Seems someone can't make there mind up. But I'll make it real easy for you. The only clear pattern, is that you appear to be somewhat confused. There has only been one delay recently, which is the current one, and that's been adequately explained by the Devs having to redo all the animations in the coming update. This is not a baseless excuse, unless you're happy for them to release the game, with game-breaking bugs? On the other hand, it's really easy to make baseless accusations, without any evidence.

I really didn't wanted to reply further but what the heck:

You are constantly splitting hairs. So there was only one delay recently. Of course when your memory is getting bad you can't think back longer periods. Also recently weren't any updates at all. However i'm talking about all releases in the past.

If you realize major issues with your in this case animations a few hours before your estimated release. Then you should really think about your whole process. This doesn't look to good from the outside.

And then permanently new arguments and excuses who have nothing to do with the case. If there were an animation missing you could mask that very easily and nobody would notice a thing.
But a missing animation is not a gamebreaking bug so this argument is not valid here.
Also it doesn't matter how many patreons someone has.
The argument with constant releases every few months doesn't matter either because it doesn't include any validation for some lame excuses for delays.

But thanks again for dropping some insider news about a release in a week. I'm sure the time comes when you are correct.

Mate, If I were you, I'd do yourself a favour and don't waste your time with that person.
All they see is gold dust constantly dropping out of the dev's arsehole.

I put them on ignore a while back, so I don't have to read their constant lies and white-knighting BS.

Thickgravy49: thank very much for your concern, i try not to exhaust myself.

The dev has succeeded in milking those blind zealots i bet he is just making an excuse for another delay and sitting somewhere let his white knight do the talking.

You people are absolutely hilarious. Why are you even here, if that's what you believe? Genuine people come here to talk about the game. Whereas, you just seem to want to trash the Dev.

There is no pattern of delays, except in your imagination. You keep repeating these blatant lies, but don't provide any evidence for them. Where are the Devs posts to prove your points? No doubt you'll claim you don't have enough time to go and look for them? But you seem to be finding enough time, to constantly spout this BS. Without proof to the contrary, these are just spurious claims, that any reasonable person will ignore out of hand. There have been a handful of occasions out of 36 updates, when the Dev has released, more than a week later than he said he would. And in all cases, there was a valid reason for the delay. If you can prove to the contrary that this is incorrect, then you should do so. Otherwise, you really need to stop making a fool of yourself.

Zara Scarlet: should i let you tempt me to search more than 20k of posts or even on other platforms? No thank you. Given that you claim to have too much time on your hands you could search yourself and prove me wrong. After all now miraculously there are more cases with a delay than just this one.
And yes the effort to claim things is much less than actually researching and presenting substantial evidence. But that doesn't mean or prove that it isn't there.

Damn the gold dust constantly dropping.... at first I read dripping but that would have to be liquid gold if it was dripping... anyways the imagery.... just can't unseen that . Some funny and I would say accurate stuff there my friend.

So much truth in your statement. So much truth.

As much fun as it is (sometimes) to argue with these white knights it gets old... I agree with TG (ThickGravy). I myself am much less irritated after I put them on ignore. I just imagine the person furiously typing away at their keyboard in their parents basement and screaming at their monitor about how great and wonderful the dev is all the while being ignored..... ahhh I almost jizzed in my pants thinking about it.

 

[Zara Scarlet]

So people who are new to this game or are not patrons do not have the right to criticize/suggest anything at all

This means that dev doesn't want new people to come, suggest and play this game and just keep pleasuring his old people.

And that's how a community is build,BY ABANDONING NEW PEOPLE

Of course you're entitled to criticise or suggest anything you want. But if the Dev isn't listening, because he doesn't visit this site or is visiting it infrequently. Most of your criticisms or suggestions will fall on deaf ears. The only way you can influence change, is by convincing people like me, who are actually patrons and can put your point of view across, where the Devs will hear it. But continuously trashing the Devs, is not the way to achieve that.

I understand you're impatient to play the update. We both are. The Bar content, is my favourite part of the game, and we only get like one scene per year now, so I've been waiting for it, for quite a while. But constantly moaning about it on this site, will not make it appear any quicker. Because the Dev will never see it. And I can assure you, other people are currently asking the Devs these very questions on Discord, where they do see it. So all we can do, is wait for them to release it. Which hopefully will not be too long off.

Well unfortunately, my father is dead and my mother is 95 and live's in a bungalow in a retirement village. So there is no basement for me to live in. Plus, I left home over 40 years ago anyway, so I'm afraid your fantasy of me being a teen keyboard warrior, is well wide of the mark. I did remark earlier that I was retired, which should have given you a really big clue about how old I actually am. But of course, you cant see that, so actually the jokes on you.

How very convenient for you. You can't produce the evidence, because there is none. You're just inventing it. Say the BS enough times and it becomes true

Now, who's splitting hairs? I've never said there has only been one time, when the Devs have delayed an update significantly, only that it has happened infrequently, and in all cases there has been a valid reason. You on the other hand talk about a 'pattern' of delays, which is effectively claiming every single update or at least most updates are significantly delayed. This is patently false, and you have absolutely no evidence for such a claim. Hence your lame excuse for not producing it. Because if you know it exists, how come you don't know where it is? If you're so convinced, it should be easy to find, because after all there is a 'pattern'. And if that's the case, you shouldn't have to go too far back to produce it.

I'm not gonna do that for you. You're the one making this claim, so the onus is on you to prove it. Otherwise, it's just so much BS.

From the way you talk, i can see you are trying very hard to convince people to becoming his patreon I usually don't discuss much on forums or leave any comments because I think it won't have any effect on the dev, even those who give money to him may not make him do better or release the update on time. It is because of people like you, blindly protecting him that he has become more and more lazy and irresponsible because he thinks that even if he does nothing, they will still support him and donate money to him.
In his discord, there are only flatterers. You have to be very careful with what you say, if you offend him you can be kicked out of the server at any time. and yea, some people are asking about the release but he is still keeping silence even though he said he just need a couple more days.

 

[natz23]

Your opinion is going to get ignored coz you aren't a white knight or as I say(not paying the dev)
Even if you say u don't like it doesn't make a difference
No offence btw

None taken. I know it's pointless, all I have to do is wait

Ur questioning the very existence of this forum my friend

If this forum isn't a medium to voice your opinion to dev or the community or in fact everyone,Why it was made in the first place!

And why are you trying to convince people to become patrons?

I think it's you who has become desperate now to have the update rather than us because it's you who's money's getting wasted and you still can't play the update
And still you want to defend Dev's actions!
It's your responsibility to wake up Dev and ask about his decisions of why update's still not ready or released constantly

I have never seen a person defend a game to the hilt, so much so that I suspected that you were one of the developers......but if that were not the case you are only making yourself ridiculous. here everyone can express their tastes and opinions, the only one who contests every little criticism (even if constructive, because none of us wants the game to stop being supported but to be managed much better than a few years ago)
I repeat that it is one of the most promising games in this category and criticisms are only good for the developer and for those who are putting money into supporting it.
reflect on what I just said to you and have the humility to apologize for how you have been behaving with the other users of this forum

 

[PickerLewd]

Is the sandbox version similar to the game in RPGM?

I tend to prefer the sandbox modes because you can choose the order of the missions and you don't miss any scenes, but I don't know how much grind this game has .

i think he is just a normal person who is obsessed with the dev and this game too much. He is scared that the dev will abandon this project with the money he has donated to them. He is trying to convince others to stop criticizing the dev and trying to get more people to become patrons for them just to please them.
