It's not putting them together that's causing things to take so long though. What exactly do you expect to change if they just released it as a whole thing every time, beyond increased upload and download times?
Unfortunately, we are not a multimillion dollar corporation that can simply cope with setbacks if a few employees are absent. Everyone who works on Ecchi Sensei, with the exception of me, does it on a part-time basis. Nevertheless, my employees have defined roles and areas of responsibility that cannot be transferred to others. In certain areas I could look for a replacement, but the replacement would first have to be familiarized with the very complex topic. For core tasks, which eg Latecomer occupies, it's absolutely unthinkable to get a temporary replacement on board.
Anyone who has never run a business will not understand. I do, so I do. Can't wait for the update!
That's exactly what is taking such a long time though. Maybe in this instance staff issues contributed but its still five months achieving pretty much nothing in terms of development. If the game is released normally and file size compressed than the five months compiling month 1 would instead be spent on normal development. There are plenty of large games on this size that manage this. There is no reason why BlueCat couldn't have made the game that way after going through this headache with week 1.
No it's not. It's the bug fixes and better implementation of mechanics that's causing problems, and they'd still need to do that, even if it was released as one big release every time.
That's true. It looks like the majority of time has been spent on rewriting the entire games code, enhancing the games mechanics, and translating/proofreading it etc. Having it in one file instead of 3 wouldn't really change any of those tasks, the game would still need to be overhauled as they've been doing whether they're merging the 3 weeks or not
I love breastfeeding!
In terms of that screenshot and with plenty of respect, developers don't owe you an explanation for anything. You don't own them, and if they bother to give you a reason as to why a delay has happened, you can either believe it or not. Regardless it is their game, and just because you've played it, it does not mean that you are owed anything. If you won't believe an excuse, don't bother asking for or looking for oneI love breastfeeding!
But that doesn't change the fact that developers are at risk 24/7.
We need to donate more!
I'll leave one of my favorite screenshots here!
"We" Like you would actually ever support any game. Good one! Imagine getting shit for free and wasting time on a forum complaining that the people that are providing you with the free stuff, aren't working hard enough.We need to donate more!
Finally someone asking the important questions!
I appreciate your optimism that there will be a month 1 release.
