Yeah, that was a mistake. I voted against it after the disaster of the week 1 merger. I remember blue promising that the merger would go smoothly and wouldn't take longer than a regular update, but after the wreck that was the week 1 merger I doubted he could pull it off and looks like I was right, this merger is going much worse than the last one.
June 20, 2020 was when 20+21 came out, Almost a year for a merge. I regret voting for the merge back then. I was under the impression it would speed up the process of updates. That was a foolish mistake.
The sandbox was getting implemented regardless, I think. So, the vote wasn't motivated by that. It's still a visual novel though. The "sandbox" just adds optional scenes. No grinding or anything.
Vote was about how we wanted merges handled, all at once, spread out, or bite sized pieces. All at once is the clearly best solution as it gets all the pain and suffering out of the way in one giant go, and the foundation becomes settled which means no more major headaches from here on out on major systems breaking.
There were some delays in the month 1 merge and then one of the key devs got sick. Dev is better now and work is underway, hopefully there will be an update soon but not timeframe has been given.
Glad to hear that he is okay But merging the whole month is not a good idea
Hindsight is often 20/20. I expect it seemed a good idea at the time, and I understand a majority of patrons agreed. One positive point is that by making all the material more consistent, future updates will be easier.
I know but merging everything is too much for them and maybe there will be multiple of bugs that could cause trouble to them
That's pretty much all you do.
Way to shoot the messenger. Skummy Ecchi works to share information, and is not above saying that BlueCat has made mistakes, has made some arguably bad decisions. Why didn't you quote the entire statement rather than just taking the fragment out of context?
Fun? No, we don't do that here. Not anymore...
i get what you mean and normally id agree but to be honest if the choice is either have a buggy game or nothing its a pretty easy choiceMerge needed to be done one way or another, can't have faulting foundations. You also can't have development on more days if the foundation isn't done yet, you need to be patient and wait for it to be built first before you move on to other parts. So while it is not fun to wait, it is very much a needed process.
Its better than having the merging be spread out, causing more bugs, waiting longer for features to be fixed, having just this mounting slog to keep going through. Instead its legit getting all done in one go!
We're almost there, just please lets all settle in for just a bit longer
Then you'd have other people constantly complaining the game is buggy, how lazy the dev team is for not fixing it and they'd rather have no game for a while than a buggy mess.
You're right, we need some more QUESTIONS!
