The most up to date news is that I gave a roughly three month window for Bluecat to deliver on, as I asked him how he felt about release timing. He gave me his estimation and I reported the period of time, as far as I can tell there isn't anything that is proving that wrong as of yet but I can assure you if something does I will tell you.

If people come by asking for information, please either kindly refer them to one of my up to date posts, or just tell them what the fuck I said but politely. We don't need to be getting into this shit again, I've been down the road too many times to count. Yes its taking a while, no it isn't done yet, yes I will tell you what's going on when there's something to update you on.

Stay Nice, Stay Ecchi!

Thanks for the reply, Skummy, and I apologize for any rudeness.

Sorry that I'm not too active, but between busy season for work, and this damn dental infection I am worn out :)

However I still try to check in case people have actual questions, and I'll try to figure out new questions since the last ones fell flat
I hope you feel better. Dental infections are the worst. I had one pre-pandemic that was so bad that I thought about getting a pair of pliers and pulling the tooth out. I ended up needing a root canal but I still have the tooth and no more pain.

Your post comes across as an ass as much as he did, because like it or not yes shit happens in life but there's more than just "shit happens" when you were shooting for a release a year ago and saying it *would* come out back then, before the end of last year, and doesn't. Then "shit happens" and it takes a year to release. That isn't just "shit happening" (I know some members were sick etc) but like it or not that's just lying from my perspective. Even gross incompetence shouldn't push it out that far. --- That's my opinion though.

We've been down this crap before, and it sucks reflecting on history we already know that ain't changing so I just now look forward to bluecat being better than they have been this past year.
Except in this case part of "shit happens" is a global pandemic that stalled entire economies for several months. The more people complain about the delay, the harder it is for people to find relevant news leading to more questions about when the update is happening. Stop complaining about it and you won't have to reflect on history.

since actual update information and check ins from Skummy tend to get buried quite easily and thus its often a goose chase to find them, can we get a post on the OP simply labeled "latest info" or something similar and have it be an up to date link to the most recent post containing a dev update or a skummy update? It would neutralize most of the posts like above and thus, help stop a lot of the BS arguing.

Bluecat is well aware of the trials and tribulations of this, and has been through hell even trying to get a student visa so he can properly study there. I think he would be find in japan because he actually does respect their culture, their language, etc and working full time for a japanese company is not the only or at least not the only realistic option for one to take. He can of course attempt to gain a visa as the owner of a japanese based company, and making above the necessary levels of revenue to stay in the good graces of the government.

Beyond that, get a japanese woman to actually like him enough to want him to stick around? It's not impossible :3

Now I am not trying to rebuke your rebuttal as something unfair or uncalled for, frankly these are all very natural criticisms of the idea, and a real showing of how utterly strict Japanese immigration is. However, while Bluecat is not here I think its proper someone who understands his motivations, and knowledge on the matter, come in to speak on his behalf if the conversation is to continue. :)
I disagree, I do not think Bluecat would do well in my country. Integrity, honesty and time management are prized in my culture. That is why I stopped supporting, however we are also voyeuristic and I am happy to watch the ongoing train wreck in this forum.

Bluecat has integrity, is very honest with his intentions, and nobody is perfect about time management-especially not a nation that still uses primarily paper over electronic infrastructure. :)

Bluecat should be held accountable for the team he has working under him, true, but that does not reflect his personal work ethic which has been proven to be exceptional in the past. Just because his team has its hiccups and he's having trouble navigating that, as many mangers do because management is fucking hard and that's why you go to school for it, does not preclude his personal traits being anything less, than someone who is just trying to make what they want a reality.

The fact I am here, interacting with you all, keeping you informed, and giving you information straight from the horse's mouth should go a long way toward disproving the notion, that there is somehow some gross negligence or malice at play here. If you do not wish to believe me, that's your problem, but you still don't get to just throw libel about :). Because in my country? We don't take kindly to defamation.

Having a damage control shill working for you doesn't really prove much of anything.

I used to support the game myself, but I stopped early on when I realized that the merge was going to be a debacle. As things stand now the only way I'd even think about trusting Bluecat again is if he releases the next six or so consecutive updates on time and relatively bug free.

I sincerely doubt he's too worried about an internet tough guy in a different country threatening him for libel on a piracy porn site.

It's neither libel, nor defamation. The original poster expressed an opinion, based on the posters' own personal experience about characteristics prized highly in his country/culture, as to why he felt BC would not be suited to his country.
Libel is a published false statement - the comment is questionably considered 'published' on a private forum, but it does not impart nor declare any falsehood nor statement of fact - it's an opinion.
Defamation is the action damaging someones reputation, caused by slander or libel. The posters comments cause no defamation as no slander or libel arise.
I think it quite ill-advised to be using such incorrectly interpreted phrasology, in what may be interpreted as an attempt to silence contrary opinion, by implied legal threat, even by a third party commentator. I understand the frustrations that abound on this particular thread, and like the original poster said, I'm just here now to watch the train wreck, but please, lets not repeat this particular line again.

Had that too, but I had it without any anesthetics XDD

I mean I've had multiple infections in my life, its nothing new, as for the other thing. My apologies for my actions just not the happiest camper right now, but that does not preclude myself to act against someone else, due to my own discomfort.

Hopefully everyone is enjoying their Sunday, I have finally been given the chance to sleep in and relax. :)

To be fair, I am pretty sure that most countries don't take kindly to defamation... But back on topic, I appreciate what you do, especially considering that you put up with idiots daily.

The current status of the development and delays by others does directly reflect his personal work ethic. By not correcting their behaviors and poor work output he is condoning them. He should be highly offended that his project is being negatively impacted by others and take measures to correct their attitudes and behavior. Fire them if needed.

In business your reputation is everything. By not correcting the delays he is contributing to them. Since it is his project he is the one responsible for the completion. The moment he received money in support of Ecchi Sensei he was in business and assumed responsibility for meeting the goals he published. Yes management is hard but not as hard as he and you are making it seem.

When I supported him on Patreon he never made a single indication that there are consequences for failing to meet a deadline. Whether this is true on not, it's the optics that matter. Other developers have suspended payments when they were off track and got their house in order before resuming supporter contributions. And the fact that you are here speaking for him further demonstrates his inability to take responsibility, drive for results or even that his failure bothers him.

Scummy Ecchi it doesn't matter what you say in response because you are not Bluecat.

I would say
1. about work ethic.. we don't know what happens behind those closed doors .. so can't condone or praise ..though skummy provides us from time to time with very useful information and from what I understand he is also a spoke person for BC.

2.You're not signing a contract or anything when you donate on patreon ... that's a personal decision , nobody is holding a gun to your head and says "sign or I pull the trigger" he is in no way obligated to say or do anything ....

3. eh.. with this one I'm inclined to agree , there should have been some suspended payments.. at least once every couple of months or so ... but then again he is not obligated to do that as nobody is obligated to donate to him.

Reminder, the merge will be out by the end of this year, they've already scrapped Character Info for now to make that happen. If they have to scrap more things or do anything else to accelerate making sure it comes out on time, I will update you when the time comes. I will keep everyone abreast of the situation at large as updates follow, but for now I'm going to give them till the end of October before I approach for a status update. Last thing they need is one more voice going "What's happening" in their fuckin ear.

Till then, we will wait and I will continue to place reminder posts every time we tend to get off track into their cycles. I will be posting that same damn message until the time comes for a status update. To those being patient, thank you and I appreciate you all, and for all of the kindness you guys show to me :)

That's all, bye bye

Stay Ecchi!
