Went to the waterfalls, clicked every single statue. 1699652826400.png

Also, i assume is just a UI thing. did all the events with mom and sis but the quests dont update, i'm prob to the end of the content with both right? Already called Ashley once, just to be clear.

People should calm the fuck down.

I for one expect the next release mid 2025 because I am a waitgigachad and if its coming any earlier I will scream scamdev for literally no reason other than to stir up shit.
that makes you a simp not a chad

current pace is February 2024. Better bet is March.
July 9th, 2023.

Guessing a release date doesn't make you a project management guru. Especially since:

a) Successfully predicting a two-month window for a near-future, closely-tracked event isn't impressive, and
b) Your prediction may yet turn out to be wrong.



No, I imagine you don't. To help you out: It suggests you have a tendency to false alarms.
It's not impressive. That's the point. Anyone could just see the pace of the game's development after the first week. Breadman's team thought I was being an asshole (which I am) and unrealistic (which I am not). If Bread & co had the expectation it would be out by then, then I would have nothing to say. That's the entire point. They are very competent, professional and disciplined. But they are failing their own deadlines by a margin of 40% (title art stream this week, they thought december at most) and stressing themselves out in the process.

I'm not taking "credit" for guessing it right (the only person to by the way), I'm using it as proof that this outcome was obvious from the get-go. I'm just a fan with an outsider's perspective that's willing to say something. I am not attacking the team. They are amazing at their job. You can find me annoying. No problem. I'm just saying something to the team in case they've never heard it before. If I was off-base I don't think I would get this emotional reaction.

Updates once a year would honestly be fine if we got great increase in art quality and animation, more streams and doodles, just so Breadman wouldn't have to put as much pressure on himself amd burn out. That's what I'm worried about.

for the statue, if you've done Angelina's full quest when you go to the statues you should automatically be taken to the next part of that quest. Lemme know if you have and it's not. the rest of the quests you're looking at are in the 'Complete" tab, meaning they're not active and you've done everything for them so far.

anybody know what happened to pixelcarto and his awesome fanart?
I think Pixelkatto just got super busy with irl work, which is good as I think they got a job as a visual artist. Very happy for them but do hope we get more art from them someday!

Does that mean I need to use the camera on the phone somehow to progress with her?
Who are you replying to? Who is the "her" you are talking about? It would help if you used the "REPLY" button to the post you are responding or be more specific in your question.

But here - I sent your question to the Magic 8-Ball, which offers as valuable advice as we can give at this time:

Good luck.

Limited my visit to this thread for months as I feel the developer is slowing down progress by inserting meaningless characters in mid story resulting in delayed delivery of updates.lame excuses are given when latest update is delayed by previous ones.

Somehow Art also suffered in latest update.leslie don't look sexy to me.also her progress compared to first updates is bare minimum.despite this game being entering into year of inauguration.

I know this post will be targeted by supporters but you can't turn blind eye to the points i mentioned above knowingly are true.

I am sorry for these are my personal opinions if it hurt any.Hod

Progress log - 2023/11/12

Glad that what I said last progress log was right haha, a decent little bump this past week. We'll see if I can keep the pace up, as November continues on I got some irl family stuff I'll be working around but I'm trying to put all the time I can healthily do so in right now.

Chibi emote stream tomorrow, gonna do 9-11 (never forget) AM PST tomorrow as I got physical therapy at 11:30. Other than that, might have another warm-up drawing Tuesday, will definitely have new Versus/Victory doodles on Wednesday, and keep an eye out for the new teaser art on Thursday. Have a great week, y'all!

If the art bar continues to grow too slowly it will definitely not come out until January or February, so 7-8 months processing time

The camera that Arianna asks for, and that you replied above with the cell phone having a camera. I got a picture taken of her, but trying to talk to her again, she keeps asking for a camera.
that content is not in the game yet, and likely won't be until Arianna gets voted in as a focus girl

Can't say I agree about the art quality declining, but you're not wrong about the slow progress and excuses. Unfortunately, this happens with literally every decent game I can think of. They start off at a steady pace, become successful, then slowwww things down to keep the money rolling in. It's just how the current system works and we haven't come up with a better way of doing things yet. We haven't even reached the point where most people are willing to have honest discussions about the problem. The very topic triggers the "fight or flight, oooga booga, must defend my tribe" part of the brain and it all falls apart.

...I did not intend to write such a long comment, but apparently I needed to get something off my chest. I feel better now.

I think this doesn't take into account the difficulty of game development. Having made a few in my day, both smaller and larger, I can tell you that the easiest part of development of a solo-dev or small team is the beginning. Ideas and story are quick and easy and don't need to be compared with anything else that's already in the game, technical debt is near zero, quality doesn't have a bar since none has been set.

Once a game gets going into proper development, things actually get more difficult. New problems start to arise with bugs and systems that refuse to function together, ideas start to become more difficult to generate for fear of becoming repetitive, and art has a minimum bar, which often actually increases as artists' skills increase.

That's not to mention the difference in motivation that people have during the difficult parts of development vs. the early stages. When you're making something for yourself, you can always just drop it and move on to your next new thing. When you're trying to take something all the way to the end, it can really start to become difficult. This is why so many games (and books and comics and web series) end up abandoned.

We've had these conversations all across this site - the people that can't seem to be honest about supposed problems are the people who have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement with little to no experience in being part of a creative project but demand quick updates with a plethora of content while getting it for free (either because the developer makes it available for free to everyone - such as BreadManGames - or because others have subscribed and share it on this site for people to play at no cost).
