Progress Log - 2024/09/01
Better jump than the last few weeks, got through plugging in all the images and animations from the giga-event, all the code for this current event, and the rough art for this current event. I'm in the first few images of it but obviously not enough to effect this log, hoping to have it all done by next week.
Redraw stream tomorrow, EU-friendly so it's 10AM PST, looking like we'll be working on Sabrina and Lucia's meeting in the auditorium scene. Should be fun! Haven't got to draw Sab in game-quality since her update, looking forward to that.
Take care of yourselves, be safe, and have a good week y'all!

the game is not worth it, it looks great and is good but getting 1 or 1.5 update per year is a horrible deal, why not hire more people to atleast push update every 2-3 months, the game has a decent support now?
The game is free bro. You're not entitled to getting more updates unless you're paying their substar subscriptions. Even then they're very transparent with progress and give other content like art work and streams while completing the next update. As much as I do agree with your frustrations, gotta look at it in other viewpoints.

True, I don't mind if the updates takes around 3 or max 6 months but 7 and above is where people start to lose faith and the abandoned tag closes in.
It's not a horrible deal, it's a Demon Deal.

Their subscriber numbers are stronger today than they were last year at this time.

The abandoned flag on F95 doesn't apply until 18 months after the last release if the developer isn't communicating regularly. This development team does communicate at least weekly on F95, and much more often in their Subscribestar and discord.
Neither appears to be a worry.

I saw someone ask Breadman how many events are left to do for this update and he said this:
I really liked how this person calculated potential release. I think he calculated it pretty accurately. What do you guys think? release in November?

I think we should not worry about when and just be patient. There are many things we can be doing than swap guesstimates.
More people does not = faster progress.

maybe in rare occasions. however, in most cases, in most walks of life, the more people you have, the faster a project can be completed. to say otherwise is disingenuous.

yes more people will be faster but then those people have to work well as a team are it will fall apart. in fighting can do alot of harm to a team as well

You are incorrect. Not in "most cases" - but in many, yes. However, putting more plumbers in your bathroom will not clear that clog any quicker, relatively. Having more cooks in the kitchen can create a cacophony of a mess if the work and space does not demand it. Every job/task/project has different requirements for effective progress and continuance of said job/task/project.
As for this independent game - Breadman is the artist and is the only one who they are willing to trust to do the art. The same can be said for the other roles. If you bring on more people to help with art, Breadman moves away from the work he loves - drawing and moves more into management, which he may (or may not) despise. This would affect his morale on the project. This would also introduce more conflicts. Such changes may actually hinder progress instead of expediting it.
Again, looking at his subscriber numbers - it appears that he has a lot of support for what he is working on and how his is working on it from the people who drop a tip regularly in the jar for him to continue. If they start to dip, then the team may decide to change their strategy, until them, we will just need to wait.

If Breadman should/would change something team wise, yes art work should still be him but maybe get someone to do the game coding, which can be time consuming(not as much as the art and animated content).
