VN Ren'Py Abandoned Ecchi Sensei [Day 22-23 Final] [BlueCat]

[RandoCard3]

Wheres the update, it been a year or more????!!!!.....

If all goes as planned, before the year is out. If something else goes wrong though, who the fuck knows.

 

[Kaeris]

There's a silver lining in this taking a lifetime though, i feel like i drank bleach or something and forgot everything about the game, i don't even remember the names of anyone except for the daughters.

 

[Skummy Ecchi]

Right, thank you.

One last quick question, i forgot to mention this in my past post (sorry to be a bother about this)

Do i delete the persisten file from week 1 or week 2 or both?

Week 1, unless you already began week 2 without the save importing....you can see why the merge had to happen now for the saves to work.

Week 1, unless you already began week 2 without the save importing....you can see why the merge had to happen now for the saves to work.

Ok so is there any way for me to know if i've done it all right? I had started week 2 without importing saves but ive deleted the saves and the persistent file from week 2 before i moved the save files from week 1 to week 2.

I started a new game now and im wondering if i did it all right.

Thank you btw for your help thus far!

Aight, here's the deal, I'm Bluecat's voice on this forum, don't like it? There's the door, since I'm technically given a compensation I work for Bluecat in this limited capacity. So while nobody is forcing me, I still am obligated because I said I'd do it without ever being asked. I like to help, so in that vein here's some additional info only for you, because one of you actually asked for something in a constructive form.

Here is the status:

Within this year, that is 2021, the merge will be out: the save functions work correctly with no issues, character info is being disregarded for a faster release, and Bluecat is at the very least confident that Late can complete the rest of the work load within the year. Though for obvious reasons, he does not want to be more specific in case running up against new issues, or missing deadlines.

However, I doubt this will make anyone happy, and simply encourage everyone to yell about how "You said it was soon last time and blah blah blah!". Save your breath, I know everything you people will say because its the same regurgitation. On the other hand, Smartmint this is exactly what you asked me to find out, so I hope it sates you for a little bit longer at the very least. Your request was actually reasonable and I moved to try and fulfill it to the best of my capabilities.

There is a very strong positive upswing about everything, and the malaise of the endless merge seems to have abated, dev feelings on a matter and the tones in which they use to address them, are just as important as the information actually provided.

To those who are actually just trying to weather the storm with me and help on some level, thanks, it actually is appreciated and I do feel good knowing I'm not alone. With that, I'll give another question since the last one didn't go over well enough.

You get a teaching job as Raspo, how do you handle how things be goin on at this academy and which classes would you prefer to be teaching in. Would you be capable of being friendly with Matsu or see him as rivalry?

Aight, I'm still tired, laters and cheers bitches.

Stay Ecchi!

~Skummy Out

Contrary to what you may think, i am pleased with this news, and again, if they will resume the effort of old, i will gladly jump back in, on subscribestar, and a suggestion, this "portal", provide a lot of skilled modders and programmers, instead of messing up, try to ask for help, you may be surprised.
You have a good game there with a good base, don't waste it.

Possibly never at this rate unless your talking the merge in which case... possibly never lol. His puppet sometimes comes along saying stuff like "stay positive" and "it is coming" despite being nearly a year late already because well someone has to keep the remaining patreons from running away. The dev himself wants to emigrate to a different country - his priorities have long since moved on from this game, as have most of us once upon a time fans of his.

Please refrain from libelous language

The merge will be completed within the next 3 months as has been repeated multiple times, as for anything regarding Bluecat's personal life-that's not a factor in game development and should not be held in consideration.

While you are free to doubt on this expectation of release, I would ask you refrain from calling me a puppet, or insinuating on a subject matter you know nothing about like whether or not Bluecat is still dedicated to his own project. It is quite deliberately a way to stir up controversies in the thread, and little else, and nobody really wants that if all the post clean up by the mods is to be considered.

For everyone else who is actually sticking this out, thank you and I will be back when not tired as all crap to begin questions again.

 

[Richard Perkins]

Im going to stick it out because I really like the story

I have one tiny question for ya Skummy, since you seem to have some form of direct communication with BC. Is the merge the only thing upcoming? Will BC make an actual update for new content as well before the end of the year?

It's been 11 months now since the last update, and while the game shouldn't be flagged Abandoned since he -is- working on it, I feel like the thread should at least get an On-Hold tag added at this point in time, until he releases either the Merge or new content.

So, I've read a few times that BlueCat wants to move to Japan. What do you think that will do for development of Ecchi Sensei? Do you think he will continue it after the move?

Also, serious question from a westerner, but what is so great about living in Japan for non-japanese people? It seems lots of people want to move there for some reason. I have no idea firsthand, but it seems to me as an outsider that Japan is an insular country, where most of the citizens and the overall culture is hostile to outsiders (ie. Non native Japanese people), so I don't understand why someone that is not Japanese would want to live there.

I have a friend who lived there for a year. People in general are more polite to you to your face (can't speak to what happens behind closed doors is the only reason why 'to your face' was added), and they found their social anxiety to be triggered less often. There are a lot of convenient innovations, as well.

There are also a lot of things that are different that might rub some people the wrong way - censorship laws, amount of space available, and so forth.

For people working there, I get a weird mix of intense pressure to perform and the companies trying to do things to keep your mental health up, but that's all 3rd/4th hand or media stuff, so I'm not sure where the truth lies.

Either way, my friend actually didn't want to come back to Canada, so for them, at least, it wound up being better.

We'll have to have a pixelization merge.

 

[Smarmint]

We'll have to have a pixelization merge.

Haha. Oh no. That would be a shame. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

On that topic, I never understood why Japan seems to give birth to the craziest, most out-there porn, but has these strange censorship rules. Like a woman getting penetrated by tentacles, or 10 different guys while tied up, hanging upside down by ropes, is somehow considered totally acceptable, culturally, as long as her vagina is blurred.

 

[Serupiko]

How long has it been since actual update content and not just more smoke?

 

[Smarmint]

How long has it been since actual update content and not just more smoke?

Well, the latest from the dev's rep (Skummy) is that the merge will be complete by December 31st, and the next update with new content will be a month later, so let's say February 1st.

I'd say, despite all the delays, we should all be patient, and not expect to see anything until then.

 

[cavaemon]

The one thing i hate more than skepticism is that ppl use "never" or assume a game is not going to update AT ALL.

Possibly never at this rate unless your talking the merge in which case... possibly never lol. His puppet sometimes comes along saying stuff like "stay positive" and "it is coming" despite being nearly a year late already because well someone has to keep the remaining patreons from running away. The dev himself wants to emigrate to a different country - his priorities have long since moved on from this game, as have most of us once upon a time fans of his.

of course when you use such terms that imply "never" means you know because you were told by the game dev OR want to start trouble in forums. please refrain from such as it is not a valid topic and serves to help no one.

as a side note I don't expect a update at the end of October but if its happening this year at all great, if not then at least patreon ppl will show discomfort for such slow releases.

According to one of the Patreon updates from earlier in the year, Bluecat has already done renders for multiple days following the merge. These renders do need to be coded after the merge is released but usually rendering, writing, and coding all have to be done in the month leading up to a release so there is significantly less work to do for the monthly updates immediately after the merge.

The site could probably use a "Delayed" tag. Both On-Hold and Abandoned imply that the game isn't being worked on, with one indicating work will resume eventually and the other confirming it's completely dead. Since work is being done neither really applies to Ecchi Sensei.

Haha. Oh no. That would be a shame. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

There's a very old, very dead, thread on the

I have no idea firsthand, but it seems to me as an outsider that Japan is an insular country, where most of the citizens and the overall culture is hostile to outsiders (ie. Non native Japanese people), so I don't understand why someone that is not Japanese would want to live there.

Specifically? For one he enjoys the cold, like legitimately he can't stand even what we find to be moderate warmth, so he would enjoy living in Hokkaido. Beyond that he loves japanese culture, customs, the language itself, and he probably has a thing for japanese women's beauty and aesthetics over other women-as do we all for certain types of people so don't judge on that. He wants to live in japan, and really feels as though once he's there he'd be even more motivated to work rather than less.

The function there is once he's living there, he's actually got to bust his ass and make money so he can continue to build his dreams of making this whole thing a multi-media spanning project, for the rest of his life. That's why I never get why people cried that he didn't actually want to keep workin on this or anything, he lives for making this stuff and its all he plans to do for...well forever lol. I can support that, and the fact he wants to move to a place where it is arguably easier to make that kind of shit a reality? Why not?

Anyway, on to the other thing, about if a content update will be out this year, I will be very clear:

I have to keep shit vague to cover asses, and my three month estimate was me adjusting out how fast Blue thinks it can get done, compared to what I think is actually realistically going to happen. With that in mind, take this with grains of salt, please. Actually, grab the whole damn shaker...maybe two.

If the merge is completed within a reasonable time frame...There is the possibility of a content update being at least released for testers. However, this is not confirmation, nor will I speculate any further.

I highly doubt we will see proper content update before end of year personally, though I would not be insulted by holiday specials as I actually enjoy them. That's just me though, as I can still wait patiently for content, as holiday specials are fun :3. The rest of you? Might actually murder him if he pulled that kind of stunt lol

No judging here. I am just curious. I am with him on cold weather. Everywhere I've lived it is too warm most of the time. Unless I am swimming, I prefer it to be cool. Perhaps Bluecat should consider Norway?
