Everything about this game is simple. Echhi Sensei is practically the simplest game here. No lasting choices other than "see scene" or "skip scene", nothing but straight pictures one after the other. The animations are all built into Illusion Studio, so no work there either, no rendering because he is using illusion assets, every scene with stock uninteresting backgrounds.
That is what I have said all along. The notion that Echhi Sensei is so complicated that it takes hard core programming, or a team of workers slaving away to produce it, is just not true. Everybody here that has ever used RenPy knows that this is a load of BS.
So, the critical key person, is now well, and has done all his work and now nothing? So what you are saying is that all the delays weren't the sick project manager at all which is what we have been told since November, but actually the fact that BlueCat was doing nothing for the last 7 months. Just what I suspected all along. Amazing that he has collected $40,000 dollars for that.
I am all for developers making a good living from their games, whatever it is, but for lying to all of us and his supporters for 7 months? Unbelievable.
