Well, I come back every few weeks or so to see what is happening with Ecchi Sensei, and sure enough the once every 2.5 month status update is out.
Skummy, honestly, I would just stop defending Bluecat for now. I know you mean well, but it doesn't help you, it doesn't help him, and really, I don't think it is convincing anyone, sorry to say.
Those that have faith, for their own reasons, will always believe the best of Bluecat and what he is doing, and assume he is hard at work all this time, and that he is just bad at communication.
The rest of us, just want a date, whether this month, next month, 3 months, something. We have all been asking for a specific month target for the last 8 months. Still nothing. So far all we have gotten is vague non-targets.
I agree that this status update was more detailed than most, but the details are more troubling than the vague statements. Can it really take months of hard work to translate character cards? I mean, what is it, one paragraph per character? I think at this point, we would all be happy with Google translate, and just move on. And reusing the images in the menu for the different translations? That is what Bluecat wants to lay out there as his team's big accomplishment? It is better to just say, "honestly, we haven't done much, and you all have no reason to trust us after all that has happened, but we are committed to work hard on ES from now on, and you can all expect the merge to be released in August (or whenever)". That would be more honest, and actually useful information for all his paid supporters. Or, Bluecat could just show his Patreons some of the new content he has been working on all this time, according to you. That would mostly satisfy most of us. Compare that to Braindrop, who has a similar delay for his game, but has consistently explained what is going on and regularly releases teaser renders to keep the fans happy during the long delay.
A clear statement about what work is left to do, a rough estimate of the time needed for the major tasks, and a target month for the merge release (which still has no new content), would be much welcome. Any other dev will do this for his fans, especially after such a long delay. But we have all been asking for this for the entire time.
