so 1st of all, YES, i've gone back n read the comments in the last couple of pages. with that being said, would appreciate any new/updated info, if he has posted any on his patreon site. i get real-life happens, but still...4 months now?
If you're a patron, you'll have a access to his discord where he's pretty active and will give an update if you ask him.
On the 27th he said it'll be done in about a week/one and a half, so probably between April 3rd and April 7th(Those dates haven't been confirmed, just me estimating).
For the wallpaper with the bullies and Nicole, that's suppose to be later today. People who will have access to it are Demon Tier patrons.
I've been following this game for a bit and it's still pretty young in it's life cycle(this will be the third update since release) so I'll try to explain the reasoning from what I've heard from the dev's side of it.
- He's a solo developer and this is his first game.
- I'm pretty sure he has another job, he's mentioned being called in a few times.
- Caught COVID during the development of chapter 4 which slowed down the process.
- This is the biggest chapter yet apparently(More renders and animations).
- Had to reinstall the software he was using due to long loading times.
- Tried a new development cycle for this update, but he'll revert back to the old one in chapter 5.
That's what I've gathered so far and I am ok with the delays since he seems pretty honest and alright. This project is also very high quality so it'll have a longer period between updates compared to most games.
I'll keep my criticisms for when the update releases or if the update doesn't somehow release in April.
A the moment, I trust this dev and think he's doing a pretty good job.
