As his ex-patron I totally agree what you wroted with.I was and still am a patron of this game. I’m only on the $5 tier and ho boy am I glad of that because I don’t think it would sit well with me to pay more. Not because the game is bad because it isn’t. Quite the opposite. However this is the 3rd time since I’ve been a patron that he’s missed a deadline with silence. His Patreon is def filled with more displeased people than it used to be and you can tell who the newbies are cause they take up for him. Unless this update is amazing, as we still need the rest of .8, and comes out before the end of January, this will be my last month.
Its such a shame because I really like his art, rendering and hell even the UI design is sick.Every time I check in on this game it gets worse and worse lol.
The way that dude types pisses me off for some reason. Too much woe is me and comparing himself to other games/devs. It's kind of interesting watching one of these projects get fumbled and become a train wreck in real time. I feel like I'm usually late to the party on those.
I'm (typically) not one to shit on developers and such but I just get bad vibes from this whole thing now. Though tbh I'm more pissed about a sandbox game getting split up into "seasons" more than anything. Sigh.
That's the real frustrating thing because I agree. The game certainly had/has potential, and the dev has a pretty good Patreon backing even with the delays and stuff. People like the game.Its such a shame because I really like his art, rendering and hell even the UI design is sick.
Well this clearly show this game is dead at this stage. Again and again we see this pattern when people support on Patreon more and more while Devs work less and less. It happened with so many games already...
And unless I remember incorrectly, was the whole years update production. Which were two buggy as hell updates with literally only side content in it.
Meanwhile, his Patreon almost doubled since last year.

True. I feel this dev is trying to pull a Komisari(HHG) while setting unrealistic deadlines.That's the real frustrating thing because I agree. The game certainly had/has potential, and the dev has a pretty good Patreon backing even with the delays and stuff. People like the game.
I'm not a dev either but I feel like there's a really simple solution: stop giving release dates. I guarantee if the dev could produce even one decent update every 6 months without giving bullshit estimates and such, a lot more people would be happy. The dev can shoot for the stars in what they want to put into their game, all people want is consistency more or less.
that’s what he is apparently planning to do for season 2 or whatever it’s called. It’s easy for Caribdis to do %, because it’s a linear plot, there isn’t anything complex going on there. So you can just list how far in the script you are for that release.I think he would benefit from Caribdis approach. He has a piece of artwork that states how far he is with update using a percentage amount as reference with occasional posts along the way.
Good point. I was just trying to think of something he could do in order to communicate without actually communicating since that's his weakness. It would certainly mitigate some of the fallout.that’s what he is apparently planning to do for season 2 or whatever it’s called.

Careful with that kind of attitude. I made a similar claim on the Patreon and was met with furious replies from Moolah's White Knights. The worst thing is that this most recent update was stated to be ready to roll out in his last post but we have heard nothing from him.I'm not a dev either but I feel like there's a really simple solution: stop giving release dates.

Can I ask what is the progress of this update?I got delayed again with another VN update. It's done but I've been at it for ten hrs straight so I'm taking a meal break and hitting the Crown & Cokes then I'll get back to this project. It's been a very busy year to date so I appreciate the patience of what was going to be "just a gallery" and has turned into a full-blown SanchoMod. It's going to be a beast when done, comparable to BaD SanchoMod if I'm being honest. Regards.
That is from the "old" Mia bathroom scene and is no longer applicable. The code is still there but a new variant is now being used.
it's about halfway between speed is my energy peepo and just be patient sandbox games hardCan I ask what is the progress of this update?
Good morning. End of each year is always too busy to work on new projects since most devs drop updates for Christmas, etc. I've been non-stop, every single day since Thanksgiving (yes, I worked each winter holiday too) updating what I already have in the public catalog. That said my plate is getting more and more whittled-down. I'll (hopefully obvious) make posts as I have additional progress/teasers available. Working on the most complex VN's has it's drawbacks. They take an exorbitant amount of time to create and maintain, and due to their following require an additional amount of allotted time to create over-the-top new features that raise the bar.Can I ask what is the progress of this update?
Considering its their first ever post, I think they were asking about the game, not the mod, sir.Good morning.

At the end of the day I reckon it can be summed up like this: I'm not pushing out Hundai's in mass numbers with questionable performance and reliability, I'm building custom Restomods with extreme attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Not the answer you want, I know, but I'll always be honest with folks. Regards and know I've not forgot or ignored all these side projects.
Moolah/Sancho - Pot(a)to/Pot(ah)to ...Considering its their first ever post, I think they were asking about the game, not the mod, sir.
Not even Sancho can make miracles happen...Regardless I think Sancho could fix and finish the game before the next update.
