Mostly it's about the milking comments, not about your opinions on whether you hate him or not :3 I'm not gonna chastise you guys for being mad, just saying that accusing him of just stalling out the project to make some quick cash is not kosher.I think you are misreading what is being written here. Nobody is spreading any misinformation. People are just giving their opinions about how well (or not) the development is going. We are all free to have our own opinions about what we observe, just like you have your own opinion also.
The only thing you could call misinformation, is that BlueCat doesn't care about the fans. Well, let's see what we have as evidence. We have you who say that he cares about the fans. Fair enough. And we have BlueCat, who refuses to communicate to his paying customers, and when he does communicate, has zero concrete information, other than trust me I am working on the game, even though I won't say what I am doing, and I have no idea whatsoever when real development will start up again. And then at the end he basically says F*uck you to anyone who questions whether Ecchi Sensei will be completed, despite the years worth of bad development decisions, the fact that the game is actually run by someone else who seems to be seriously ill, and that the update we are all waiting for, has no actual new content, despite the fact that all BlueCat has to do is make some more poses and write some dialog. He should be knocking out the scene after scene while we are all waiting for the sick programmer, so when it is finally fixed, there will be an ocean of new content. Remember, no rendering needed, so hours of content should be building up in the queue right now.
Instead, all we hear is that he is supposedly working on a Portuguese translation, or someone is. Hmm. I am sure the Portuguese speakers on this board appreciate it, which is great, but why isn't he working on new content with all his time, and showing new scenes he has made to tide over all his paying customers, supporting him all these years?
You say that BlueCat cares about his fans. I think we are all free to make our own judgement based on our observations over the last year and especially the last 6 months about how much he really cares about those giving him $5,000 a month or more, for over a year.
Otherwise, yeah, hate him if you wanna-the gitlab shit is freely available to peeps on discord to literally see any work that goes down in development (at least I think it is, might need to be a level of patron). I couldn't give a shit if you guys like him or not, I'm more defending his reputation, as that's what I'm supposed to do and I do believe in him. I also think he's a fucking idiot who is handling this situation poorly, so I'm trying to bridge the gap a little. You have been fair and honest with your criticism, and I was not referring to perfectly valid comments of being pissed and tired of this bullshit.
I've stopped trying to play defend the dev against mean spiritedness, as that is very unprofessional. I'm mostly about combating the idea that he is somehow scamming everyone. When they're all literate adults, who know what they're paying for. That being said, yes you have every right to be annoyed and pissy and air your grievances. However, please keep it to a fair point that while he is handling this badly in your opinion, he is not being malicious with people's funds. If he was we would be a lot more pissed with him instead of just annoyed, as we would be able to tell if he was bullshitting or if he was just kind of floundering.
All that said, no question, I'm very tired, and took all my energy writing a response. Because I felt you deserved a clarification, that I was not targeting you or others, who are voicing valid statements.
Stay Healthy, Stay Ecchi!
