New update release date?

New update release date?

This is only part joke, since Iondivvy has forgotten which game put him on the map, CD is in limbo. The Dev sometimes tunes in and tells us some tall tales how soon a new update will come. But he turned out to be as trustworthy as e.g. "L&P", "gumdrop" or "The Typist", you can trust him as far as you can throw a 40 tons truck.
He lost me when he came with his incredibly smug post in wihch he stated he would not answer any " hostile comments" nor "personal attacks", which turns out to be all posts with anything critical in it. Shamed be he who thinks evil of it!

None. It's done when it's done. Try September.

Come on now, everybody knows that by that time, the game should be completed.

Would not bet on it! Or do you believe his lipservice, once in a while posts?

 

[Orgitas]

Much like the namesake. The Dev only does updates... Casually.

You can subscribe to his patreon and ask there. Maybe you'll get an answer. I don't know how many subscribers he has gained since releasing "rebel duet", but currently his patreon page says 1182€/month. Maybe there's the answer. Be as it may, we can only wait. Unless you really want to subscribe to his patreon just to complain.

In the meantime you could check out "Summer in the city". Fun little game, a little similar to CD just sillier. The MC is cute and the side characters are nice.

As if! His post about hostile comments says enough. The same spiel other companies use to silence critical voices. It is not chance that Iondivvy considers all posts with just even a bit critial stuff in it to be "hostile". How very surprising -not!
Like many others he prefers personal cocksuckers for his patreon, who only sing praises.That is very clear by his posts. Nearly a year ago he promised us that Rebel Duet would have no negative effect on Casual Desire´s development.
Today he does not want to hear about that anymore, everyone reminding him is considered hostile.

People change, opinions change. As I wrote, I don't know how much he was making off of patreon before "rebel duet". Money could be the reason he neglects his older game.

There are a lot of purely negative comments with no constructive criticism.

Why do so many think the people on this site are big game creation companies? Most of then content creators here are only a few people (sometimes only one) who are making these games in their spare time while trying to balance a job, family/social life at the same time. As for how much then get from their Patron page, how many of you can live on $1200/month. No one I know.

Judging by the lack of updates in both threads here and his Patron sight, I wouldn't be surprised they have been chased away. I hope not, I really like both games. Yes, I like Casual Desires a little better (I really like slutty Rita ) but bother are good and different.

ionDivvy, don't listen to the naysayers. You do good work with interesting stories. Thank you for letting me enjoy your creations.

I'm not saying the game is bad. I think neither are the other people. Quite the contrary! Otherwise we wouldn't be complaining about the lack of updates! There just seems to be a feeling that the dev's focus has shifted elsewhere at the expense of CD!
1200€ on top of your income (salary, business,etc.) is a nice bonus! You produce what there is demand for. That's just business. If there are more paying customers that want more "rebel duet", you make more of that. If CD fell victim to a business decision, that would make me sad as a long time fan.

Never said people said the game was bad. They are just expecting updates and many have spoken out as if they think it is a full time job for these people instead of a spare time hobby type of thing. I get frustrated constantly reading complaints about lack of updates which speak as if it is a full time job for the developer.

OK. I too get annoyed reading about lack of updates in game threads. But the case here is a bit different. Dev's other game "rebel duet" does get updates where as "casual desires" gets hardly any. That is the problem. If he has more subscribers to his patreon account because of "rebel duet" than because of CD, then they obviously would want more updates for rd and he makes more. I understand that, but I'm not happy about it.

The curious thing is that this isn't the case. If you go to his Patreon and look through the updates you'll notice Casual Desires consistently gets more, sometimes double, the likes and usually more comment engagement as well.

I feel forgiving given the steam release of the other game and the work that comes with that, but I cancelled my own sub and don't plan on restarting it until Casual Desires has its next release.

So you're saying it's the other way around on his patreon and CD is more popular there? We'll see if it's just because of the steam release of rd.
But if he is tired of (making) CD and rather wants to make something else, why not come clean and say that CD will be put on hold until he has enough inspiration / ideas whatever?

Whenever CD continues, I hope there can be a middle-ground relationship-wise. Like, I get the impression that the "romantic relationship" option suggests a monogamous one, as opposed to the open relationship.
But I'd want a closed poly romantic sort of option too - not just "fool around casually with whoever", but a proper relationship with Violet and Luna, for example. I mean, the Connor/Josh dynamic is already a closed poly relationship in itself, so there's definitely room for it with the girls.
