You're actually certifiably wrong, as we had this kind of wait during Week 1, and then it launched back into doing MORE content than before. Blue is an eager cat to get to work on something that isn't this fucking merge, and so once its done he gets to get back to plotting world domination through Ecchi Sensei and giving us the goods, and you can eat your words.If month 1 ever gets released it'll probably be the only thing that will see 2021.
5911Someone please tell me what's the code for the basement?
Makes people think, if they weren't given the code they'd have a whetted appetite instead of just seeing it be emptyIs there any point to imputing the code in the basement during Week 1? If I recall, it just says to come back later, in which case, why not have that scene later?
Is the wedding supposed to be week 4 or is that later? Been way too long since I played.
Thought you might like that loophole exploitation.
IIRC Tomoe's wedding/home visit supposed to happen during autumn.I'm pretty sure we're going to Tomoe's family's home, but I'm not sure if it's the wedding. To be honest, while I am trying to simply maintain discussion, a part of me asking for reminders on what the characters have planned for Week 4. Visiting Tomoe with our family and Fuyu is pretty much all I remember. At least, I think Fuyu is coming?
And yes, I did![]()
How about, and I'm just spitballing here, you get lost?I know that everyone, especially Patreon people, are disappointed in the complete radio silence. So here's how you can speed up both the update and the information about it:
The end of the month is coming, which means that Patreon is gonna charge you cash soon. So you do three things:
1. Post that you are stopping the support for this game on Patreon until there are updates, somewhere the dev will see.
2. Stop the support on Patreon.
3. (optional) buy $GME
4. Sit back and watch the concept of time preference rear its head at the devs.
5. Watch how they react.
If enough people do it, we just might see a status update sooner.
Not sure why you're so offended when the fact of the matter is Patreon is their source of income and it's been radio silence. It would be wrong to assume that *all* patreons follow discord etc to get updates elsewhere but then there's also the flip side: people who are new and may want to support will see his gone radio silent when looking at his past post date compared to how frequently the posts before that is.I can tell none of you are patrons who are talking about radio silence, because you'd know Bluecat said that the monthly updates were coming to a close. They don't need to tell you every time they wipe their ass, you just need to be aware that sometimes a step is taking a fucking long as time an you'll be informed when that step is done and over with.
Then I hope they remove that section. Now that we've been to that room, the Saki scene doesn't really add anything.Makes people think, if they weren't given the code they'd have a whetted appetite instead of just seeing it be empty
God, really? I was sure it was Week 4. What is planned for Week 4 then?IIRC Tomoe's wedding/home visit supposed to happen during autumn.
But if it's not finished or functional, what's the point of releasing it now anyway? That's just going to result in the 6 month merge taking longer. Stop supporting if you feel you're not getting your money's worth, sure. Don't think it's going to speed things up though.I know that everyone, especially Patreon people, are disappointed in the complete radio silence.

From what I understand, without these merges to fix bugs and implement mechanics, any new content would just be doubling down on whatever bugs or other problems already exist, like how the phone causing crashes a lot and the Character Bios don't update. Adding new content would likely render all the work going into the Merge pointless or cause the merge to take longer. As for the Discord, I don't think anyone is getting any extra news there. They mostly just post cat pictures at each other from what I can tell.Now as a fan, these mergers always seem to take forever.... I almost question why even do it in the first place when you can end up going so long without any content. I think they should redo their work schedule so it's atleast 50/50 so new content is always coming even if it's less per update.
True about the cat pictures. Maybe they're speaking in code languageThey mostly just post cat pictures at each other from what I can tell.
Yeah Mika has more or less told us everything goes. I just want more exploration of what "everything" can involve. It is of vital importance we give Mika every chance to prove how useful she is for rent money.Mika is the girl with Blue Hair, she has money issues and does not get enough food, you help her get a job at the club.
She's one of my top 5 favorite girls![]()
There's alot to respond to hear so I'm going to try just listing my response to ensure it's clear.I loved the game, but there are so many problems. I read about devs update here about milking patrons etc. It was a convincing read, but there are so many problems. First off, dev is bragging about Ecchi Sensei being the largest (16gb) and longest VN. From my experience, I have seen better characters and more scenes with lesser file size. which indicate dev doesn't care about compression or optimisation, othervise there's no way a VN can be 16gb, and ES doesn't have exceeding amounts of pictures as well, I mean yeah it has lot's of it, but only about 3x-4x times of a 2-4gb VN. So an acceptable size for this game should stand between 7-10gb at max. and this game's 16gb for only the first week, add 2gb per week later. It's just insane.
For the first month update, their claim that it is to make the game releases into months not weeks. I would like to remind that they were doing it days at first then they merged it to weeks, so this doesn't work and month system will fuck up at some point as well. And they're not going to include 4th week to the first month update. ?? why? what were you guys doing in the meantime? I understand merging 3 weeks and making a new format could take time but can it take ALL of your time? also after waiting for months and still waiting, they will release 1st month update withouth 4th week and you will have to wait a whole 3 more weeks since they won't be releasing 4th week standalone but will release it inside the 2nd month update which god know when will be released. So as one of you said that there won't be any updates in 2021, is pretty accurate I would say. maybe they will add 4th week but nothing more.
And as I said before, WE downloaded 16 gb 1 st week, then downloaded every week 2gb per week. Game folders can't merge, you had to move save files and all the stuff, it's not ideal for a game to proceed. They are not trying to solve these MAIN problems. They're just doing the same mistake they did with days>weeks period. Why can't they just make a base game folder and add updates OVER it. instead of having us download whole new games each and every update. I haven't seen a patreon of a VN in this site that gains as much as this game gains. so they have the money to do it. since they have the money, they can hire staff that can make it happen. but no, they just don't give a crap about it and continue making unrendered scenes and characters in PlayHome "Illusion, and this dev is the first dev that I see use PlayHome instead of literally anything." "which is another problem and just goes to show you how lazy the dev is. Instead of this, majority of the VN devs are using HS or DAZ3D, why you ask? because of vast ocean of mods and unending collection of things. This is the reason why the characters and scenes haven't improved since 2018, the game release date." and publishing it as a new game.
I will repeat myself here, dev is bragging about how big and large his game is. The reason for this is unrendered, uncompressed, unoptimized game files/folders/images. I haven't seen any attempt to make this* thing* into a proper game* or VN.
Again, dev is bragging about this game being the longest code and text etc etc.... firstly, if codes for a linear game is longer than most and is way too long, that indicates something is wrong. You don't want pages of pages of codes going around. and this actually proves that why they had to merge day/day updates into week/week ones and now they're trying to do month/month ones. It's poor coding and planning that caused this imo. AND this game isn't the longes VN at all. I can just give you a title here, "Renryuu Ascension" A large ass world map, open world gameplay, many characters and 100+ gameplay time. avarage gameplay time for VN's in this platform is 20+ Renryuu just tops that shit. AND if you go and look up that game, you will se that since that game has started developing the artwork has changed dramatically. new game mechanich have added. which what you would expect from a developing game. now that game and ecchi sensei not in the same category. but they both are VN's at the end of the day.
I was pro-dev when I finished the game and read the dev post here after hearing people say "Devs are milking patrons" I defended the devs. But after hearing that first month won't have any new content, and consistency of not solving save/new game download requirements... I can no longer defend them and I'm convinced that they're milking the patrons. If you're patron of this game, unpledge. It's your money I am no one to tell you to what to do with it but it's my advice that you stop pledging because it might take until 2022 until we receive any update.
The main thing to remember is, is that a lot of issues you've written about are being fixed. The files and images etc are being optimised - the game size will be much smaller - and saves will be compatible with future releases. Also, having all of the game within the month merge instead of as separate days and weeks will make it easier to organise and it'll lead to less downloads and managing the game files etcI loved the game, but there are so many problems.
