VN Ren'Py Completed Battle of the Bulges [v1.0] [EpicLust]

[jak1165]

Tim was essentially on vacation for the month of November, hence the patreon pause. So December will be spent working on 0.5.

He's a remarkably consistent with managing his own expectations for the project. We knew 0.4 was going to be a large content update. Perhaps 0.5 won't take quite as long

Considering the multiple branches and the various paths that now exist, I'd imagine each new update to be more complex than the last.

Day 5 was supposed to be more of a catch-up day, but he said it was going to be bigger than originally intended.

when update is coming? its so long

Not for a long time yet. Tim has suspended the Patreon for december, so that is a good indicator it will be late december at the earliest. More likely next year. But most of us want that. Let him take his time to produce a good day 5.

 

[zapallbugs]

damn, he takes to much time to launch the updates.

No, he just takes the time necessary.

this is still probably the case in terms of a catch up day

i wouldnt expect a release in december. except maybe late december for the 20 dollar patreon backers and early january for 10 and 5

Since I paused the page, it will be in early January then for 20$ January patrons. There are no "patrons" for December as such since no one will have paid for that month.
Here is what I wrote on my page to explain the reason why I was pausing December:

"Apologies to all but it just ain't gonna happen. I can tell as of today that I am too far from done with v0.5 to be able to promise it will be finished by early December. Instead of rushing it, I prefer to put the page on hold so no one is charged next month and I can issue a version I'm satisfied with (I'm not right now) in early January (for SURE).
I thought I could make it but I've had too much real-life work stuff to catch up with since I'm back from vacation (plus my 9-hour jetlag which is still affecting me...). I also did too many side things like commissions, trying out Genesis8 characters, and thinking about and doing preliminary renders and coding for the next game I have in mind (which I shouldn't have, this one is too far from done, but that's the way overexcited inspiration sometimes gets the better over wisdom...). "

As said earlier, take your time until you are satifsfied with day 5. I am sure most fans will be as well.

I just saw the email. I wasn't aware you had paused the page again.

You have impressive expectations of yourself. Mark of a good developer.

 

[jak1165]

Actually, I can't tell if you're really good at this or really bad at this.

I've followed a number of patreons (most of them put out consistent youtube content) but I've never heard of a dev pausing their patreon because "Hey guys, I won't actually be able to release the content I previously said I would, owing to <insert real life sort of thing> so I wont actually charge you guys".

I imagine if most devs only had their patreons up when they released content, they wouldnt make money ever lmao

I didn't want to have a patreon page to begin with, remember... Because of the pressure to deliver that comes with it for starters and the fact that I work alone in my spare time...

Ironically, I think that's what makes you good at this.

You communicate, you're highly transparent (you paused the patreon BEFORE you went on vacation (and were very clear about why). You dont make promises you can't keep. You've been consistent with your releases. And you make it pretty clear this isn't for the money. You were under no obligation to pause the patreon in either instance.

I don't want to put words in anyone else's mouth, but I for one, have no issues supporting your patreon and despite your reluctance to do so, am very glad you set one up

I could name half a dozen games here who's dev get monthly payment from patreon but we get game updates only once every 3 month. Theres even one that released an update recently who's last one before was in June. At least Tim put his money where his mouth is. No update= no pay.

Tim, I wouldn't worry about how long it takes to release your next update. Every update you release is miles ahead of other developers due to the sheer amount of content you're able to "stuff in" . Everything about your game is MASSIVE: number of women, muscles, dongs, tits, and content.

You're already thinking about your next title? Awesome! Can you share an idea with us what it will be about?

 

[slammed!]

im having a hard time getting one girl even with a walkthrough... can anyone share on how did they get girls? from day 1 and so on.. im assuming that you dont need to cheat in this game. this game is great. just hard. just hard.

 

[jak1165]

I doubt you meant it like this, but that sounds kind of insulting.

It was tongue in cheek. I am kind of dogging his "business sense" as he is deliberately going out of his way to make less money by pausing the patreon. He is under no obligation to do so, yet does it anyway. He is to be praised for that, I think.


I would happily support Tim in any case though, and Im sure most of my fellow patreon backers would agree. He doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves and I think he's one of the best devs on this site

 

[bigtitfan]

wow can't believe I stumbled on this junk... created an account just to review it. I like big tits but this is crazy! Not only does this game have unrealistic propoprtions but it lacks any originality. fuck as many women as possible - literally almost every game on here. Plus the 'humour' fails every time

Why does the main character look like a deformed ten year old? why are most of the girls about 13 or 14? Why are the tits bigger than my head and the dicks as longf as my arm? this game is insanely bad!

You took this game far more seriously than it takes itself.

 

[Canto Forte]

Tim is a serious developer and should be taken seriously. As any Vlad, Dwayne, Tyson would tell you, even Evander does, you live up to your hype by delivering on your promises. You promise a K.O.-you better deliver or else - else opponent gets right back up and you have to go for the points lottery at the end on ALL rounds!
