I've read the last 2 sites on here rn and people still don't doubt what the dev is really doing rn. One example you guys mentioned is, that he's still struggling with workflow and not realising how certain things need time. I disagree hard on this. Over 6 months ago he mentioned how he's gonna release updates - every 2 months with high quality and quantity and the struggle of delays before the release of Ch. 4 won't happen again cuz he worked out how he's going to overcome his flaws in developing demon boy. Then all of a sudden he says he's struggling with creativity and he's burnt out. Solution? Fuck yeah make a new game. If you are burnt out just work harder, that will solve everything. But wait.. Demon boy will be his highest priority even with the new game. Sure.
Progress bar: over 100 percent (renders/animation) since what.. September? This dude made 30 renders each week but happily announced he doesn't work anymore on a normal job since demon boy can support him fully. 30 renders on average per week lmao (sometimes 35. Impressive). Oh and I forgot to mention he got a new graphic card to speed up the rendering process. Wait really? Yes, but eehh.. Nothing changed. Surprising? No.
In October people started to complain on his socials until November cuz the game was actually finished but the progress bar was still rising.
SURPRISE RELEASE!
oh false alarm everybody, I found grammar errors in the game which I couldn't detect before this announcement (yep you don't check something before release)
3 weeks later and he's still figuring out the problem. Probably wrote the whole update from right to left, who knows.
So 3 weeks later.. Suddenly another problem! The animations and some renders didn't felt right. Kayyy.. Impossible to notice that 3 weeks ago when you wanted to release it as a surprise?
What followed next were a few development updates where he didn't mentioned the problems he had before and how he solved them. Usually the same " I'm a one man team. It's difficult. Hard work. I try my best." STFU!
Why he didn't mentioned how he solved the problems? Easy.. People believed him so he wouldn't need an explanation after. He also took a few days off (DAYS..) with complaints about how hard it is.
To summarize this shit :
He mentioned things earlier which don't add up what he said the recent weeks. He mentioned it multiple times how this and that would speed up his developments but somehow the opposite happened. Slow... Slower.. Sloooooower..
It's working. He gets his money with no effort. Only thing he needs to do is typing some pussy shit on his patreon to get everyone from his back. This dude started great and you could see how many effort and energy he put into the game. But that's gone. Work smart not hard. Or in eromersive's case- don't.
