VN Ren'Py Blurring the Walls [v0.5.2] [Torimiata]

[idkmanerally]

I would not say that this game is losing popularity, but everyone is tired of waiting, despite the fact that this is not new content but a remaster. About 15-20 percent of the new content , everything else is remastered .

the dev is baaaaarely active on discord anymore. once a week someone will get pissed and he'll pop in to do the usual "...as a solo developer, working tirelessly while juggling outside responsibilities, there are 35,000 new CG scenes (87% key CGs), and some scenes needed to be rebuilt from scratch..." corporate PR-person excuse thing he always does

when the remaster finally drops and the consensus is "this is okay but WOW this was NOT worth the wait" this game will be fully abandoned. the dev has checked out!

It's annoying as hell to wait that long. But I think the author will continue to make the game even if many people are unhappy. He has already written many times about his vision for the project and he will do as he wants.

despite how much of a hater i've become, i hope the release is good and the game gets back on track. but im not optimistic

Next Monday or Tuesday, as usual, there should be a development diary. Perhaps there will be some news or excuse

The News will be;

The CG's are finished, I'm just improving the Script, it's a lot of work because now there are no animations and I have to update the Script. XDDDD

So there will still be no remaster or Update, but it's good that you are optimistic.

Expecting next excuse? He already wrote this future excuse in very first lines.

yup and he doesn't say "my goal is to release before i go," he says "my goal is to have everything wrapped up before i go" which is intentionally vague. in late november he'll post in platinum discord, "okay now that everything is wrapped up i just need to proofread and finish the last 7-8 scenes and then we'll be good!"

Where the hell is he going? Is he ready to retire yet?

The supermarket self-checkout was invented because Torimiata was serving you at the counter

Moon ripple already have new update but this game, Damn hope is fading aways.

Yeah, Moon ripple show some level with AI art

What a tragedy, I had so much hope with this game, right now there is only ONE western NTS game where development is going smoothly and we all know which one it is.

My New Girlfriend, Netorase Phone, Moonripple Lake, Vulgar Reverie, Stay Online, My Girlfriend Fulfills My Netorase Dreams (I guess that one's not "western" but neither is BtW, so I don't even understand your comment?)... just one going smoothly?

Vulgar Reverie is the real deal. Perhaps I should have described in a different manner than "going smoothly" what I mean is that a game like Reverie is the full package, great art, teasing, pacing, likeable wife and MC, and so on. It is the highest western NTS standard we have right now. *And of course, so far dev has been consistent in his updates.

Why wouldn't you agree for the others I listed? Just curious.

Well phone style games are nice and all but they are also limited in the range of possibilities they can offer, after a while they do get quite repetitive. As for AI based games, I don't have any hateboner against AI, it's just that in my experience with AI based games, the dev didn't bother putting much attention into the narrative structure, I believe this happens because with hand drawn art, dev must carefully plan what each CG will depict which makes him consider how the plot will go with more attention. With AI based art you can just make stuff up as you go along, there is not much price to pay for it. Blurring the walls was the great promise, an AI based game that seemed to have a good and well planned plot, which is why I am sad to see what has happened to the project.
