Unreal Engine Completed Blue Is Better 2 [v1.0] [Auril]

[Astrel]

I supported the game for many years and only pulled it once they decided they were gonna milk their patreons by starting another project when they already had trouble making deadlines and working on one.

You need to stop with this white knight nonsense trying to tell us we don't understand how hard it is to do this as a solo artist. The issue is that they are solo and chose to add more work load to milk their patreons dry. They are putting in the same amount of effort they always were, now you have to wait twice as long minimum for the same update.

If you want them to not struggle so hard you could always suggest that they do a single project instead of screwing over the majority of patreon supporters that come from their warcraft games by putting it on the back burner for their very mediocre second project that dozens of other artists already have games just like it.

You assume everyone here just sits around all day complaining about free updates, but I'm supporting 5 other artists atm right now at 10+ or more a month. I come here to find games to try and if I like them, then I support them. I come to this specific thread to get updates on a game that was promised at one time to have bigger and better updates by going full time for more support. Instead, we now have this double game development that churns out 2 mediocre updates for now 2 mediocre games because they don't have enough focus to give to either one of them in the dev hell that is of their own making.

I paid my dues for nearly 8 years in any support format I could even before their patreon, them deciding to be greedy isn't my fault and is the reason they lost my support however little it may be and I assume many others. If they wanna pull their head out of their ass and ditch silicon lust, then I'll be there the next day supporting them. Until then, I'll continue to get the updates here for free as the quality of their work has gone so far down hill that it's not worth paying for.



The burnout was of their own doing and while I can sympathize with the mental toll it has taken, this burnout was self inflicted by getting greedy and thinking it would be easy to maintain 2 games when they always struggled to maintain one.

With the 2 games in development I agree,and I mentioned this numerous times on Discord and I see no logic.Silicon Lust was ok at the begining but now is a UE5 mess.My point was,that unlike you and me,actual supporters,many free-getters just complain everyday about no updates,like their lives depend on it.The update will come out when it will come out.

3-4 months ago on Discord moderators talked about Auril's mental health issues.She's burnt out,so don't expect fast and top quality updates.About the BiB 2 update there are no news besides that it is being worked at.

Oh well, guess that was bound to happen after all these years, makes more sense now why a second different game was started, to try and do something else other than WoW I'm guessing.

I too was supporter for many years since the beginning. I am probably one of the people thanks to whom this project even exists to this day. I have quit when I noticed we're getting screwed after third promise was made, that was not kept and SL started to interfere with Tails.

I follow the project, with a hope that one day they ditch SL, but I will also speak my mind and criticize it any way I want. People tend to forget that in the end these games are 'customer - seller' relationship, not a friendship. If the seller does not listen to constructive feedback, does not deliver on promises and fails to deliver, customer has a right to quit, leave a bad rating and spread the word whenever they like. I used to make exactly same comments as you did on another page sharing their games for free, years ago. I became disilussioned in time.

Edit (Not sure if there are any other scenes prior to the mage acedemy that are new as I used a built in save to start there and progress the story)

Once in the valley you need to turn around and walk up to the mountain to trigger a cutscene so that the girls head out looking for rabbits.
(Sorry, forgot to mention it)

Looks like just two scenes again. The first one is the elf stuck in the tree after you encounter the two rabbits on the road further past. Just follow the road towards the top and you'll see her.

When you get to the third mage near the water she wants you to find a rabbit, it's not obviously clear at first, but you need to use the water tunnel and go to the upper area to find the last rabbit that will go back into the cave and you will talk to the dragon lady making a deal.

Once you have the rabbit exit out the top side and talk to the mage for the portal.

You will then head upstairs after interacting with the tiger.

Once up there you need to go to the outter area where you will see the second and final scene with Jaina and the guard with 3 variations that cannot be repeated after the first watch.

Then you can interact with the Belf in Jaina's room and the update ends there.

For the amount of extra time this update took I think this might be the least amount of work that has been achieved thus far in an update cycle that even had over a weeks delay ontop of the extra month added to avoid this very thing. Seems they're getting worse and worse with each update and as was mentioned earlier by others, I suspect the big burnout might be coming and I wouldn't expect the updates to get better or even stabalize.

Yeah, this is where I'm stuck. There's a great big bloody log blocking the tunnel in the lake for me.

It's completely bugged for me, as the human mage is just not there in my game, tried to replay it twice, same issue. The shadows in the game are also completely bugged when in interiors, and the night is so dark now that you can barely see anything, again, no idea why they keep messing with this when it was fine last update.

2.5 months for 2 scenes though...I understand the personal issues, but the next update shouldn't be for their other game but for BiB, cause this one barely got any content and it's half broken still.

 

[Rinaya]

so, no new futa content?

 

[komaguy]

Where exactly is this "elf stuck in the tree" suposed to be? After the cutscene the 3 mages just stand next to the statue and I can't interact with anything. I can see the 2 rabbits on to road but can't interact with them either. Went to the cave with the dragon lady nothing there either. Can anyone help?

You have to go to the cliff right behind you as you take control to trigger that scene, then you can do the rest. Anyone else have the shadows bug when you're inside buildings btw ? it looks like everything is covered in black ink

you using old saves, i think thats the problem

Most likely old saves issues as the poster above mentions. When I downloaded the dropped mega file from earlier it came with a save10 slot that goes into your %appdata% folder area. Even it took me a few tries to deal with the ladies or objects completely going invisible.

If you go off the beaten path for any reason it seems to bug out and it's almost always gonna break when you go to reload the saves.

You can tell very little time was invested into this update as it can be ran through from the save10 file til the end in under 10 minutes. That under 10 minutes includes the entire introduction part of the academy where the last update had us doing them before going to sleep. The new content is probably about 4-5 minutes depending on if you spam through the talking or not.

 

[kasata]

I used the provided save, but in the end what fixed the weird shadows for me was completely deleting the OST_Game folder and then copying the save again.

 

[yuseiyami222]

I just think as dev the least you can do communicate. if you were to tell me "no updates for the rest of the year" i'd just be like, alright see you next year. It's just a porn game someone makes in their free time.
But I imagine they worry that people would then just stop supporting them financially. imo it works both ways, lack of communication can lead to the same thing, but being open about it at least makes people understand the situation.
I guess just don't become financially dependent on your hobby/freetime gig but people are adults and need to figure that themselves.

 

[notgonnasay123]

I like where the story is going to be fair but two problems with this updates : two scenes after 2 and half months really ? and what up with the boob jiggle its so gross but i adored played as a futa for some odd reason maybe because i like seeing two girls play with each other idk why ahaha

 

[notgonnasay123]

Such a shame really putting their own greed before the health of azeroth ! i knew silicon lust was a red flag once this trash got announced

[notgonnasay123]
