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

Careful, as OctoSky can attest to, bringing receipts to display verified deflection will only lead to more entertainment here.

dead game?

On life support. Just waiting for someone to pull the plug.

It's been 2 years - without freezing funds

Easy money. Why work when you can sit back and do nothing while collecting?

simply finish week 4 and do month 2 in the "proper" way, and come back to fixing the first month later.

You mean the thing that people have been telling Bluecat to do for the past year+? Yeah, we've been there, we've done that. Wasn't until January, a full year since he said he had days 21-22 done just needed a translator, before he said he is looking for ways to move the game forward. Again, easy money.

skummy's claims

Yeah don't bother. Every single thing that Bluecats yes-man/PR boy Skummy has said has been proven, with facts, to be false, yet he still continues to say how great Bluecat is and how amazing the team is all the while we are being shown how fucking awful they are. Again, ignore him. Just read his posts to get a good chuckle.

surely after all of this time he ought to AT LEAST have the full script for month 2 done, if not 3?4?5? hell maybe even 6?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ohhhhh I think I broke a rib from laughing so hard.

Surely out of the hundreds of scenes and thousands of images he could offer up any sort of example that wouldn't spoil it too much?

Pfffft ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ohhhh ohhh my ribs. He can't show something that doesn't exist. Look at all the other devs that post teasers or even just images of what they worked on or on working on. Skummy told us he saw images but lets be real, he also said that the merge will be out by the end of 2021 now that the character cards are not being added. Seen the merge yet? But he is honest and transparent.

If there was any honesty left in the team they would've frozen the patreon a whole year ago at least.

There was never any honesty to begin with. Plain and simple.

Given the lack of transparency with the development in the past (and present), the seemingly endless stream of "reasons" it's not crawling along and with the lack of anything concrete in terms of actual, physical proof of progression. Occam's razor being used here would highly suggest your statement is the most logical one.

 

[Mab's Thrall22]

I'd say there's threads with far more gullible people on this site than this one

Here, 1% of people believe the new imaginary problem that they announce every few months, and the new solution to that imaginary problem that bluecat is working on. But most of us aren't that ignorant to believe it. We got over this game a long time ago

Yep, I come on here every so often just to see if by some miracle any update is out. But I never expect it, and I have so many other games that are honestly much better to occupy my time and energy on. I did thoroughly enjoy this when it was actively being developed, but the industry has moved past this game. For those still holding out hope, I wish you the best of luck, but I also suggest moving on to bigger and better things. Alright, take care everyone.

Any of you guys know that Big Brother game that had to be stopped due to patreon and got a million remakes from people?

Genuinely surprised it hasn't happened here lol. Call it Pervert Sensei or something, it's like free real estate.

Spoiler: MEME

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

At this point though, maybe BlueCat is more than one person. Who knows, perhaps his also the one behind Primal Desires that latecomer also works for. I think we have enough conspiracy theories though lol.

 

[GuardianZ]

SMH*

These guys are hilarious.

So far as I'm concerned this game is basically braindead. Pull the plug already.

 

[baloneysammich]

They really shouldn't call it a merge... And yet, it can't be called a remaster or remake

In the beginning it didn't matter much; it only became an issue because of the delay.

Rework/recode/redesign?
Bleh.

I almost suggested refactor several times, but my pedantry got in the way.

 

[yoda123]

I guess I'll chuck some additional thoughts on this.

They really shouldn't call it a merge given what they said they are doing with it and how long it's taken it kind of oversells how long a merge should take *cough*, but even by their own previous examples. And yet, it can't be called a remaster or remake either since from a player perspective that will not be the case. Not sure what you would call it then.

They call it 'Month 1', while Month 1 will include a merge of content, just referring to it as a merge is missing the point a bit. It is a technichal update more than anything else. Should still have been completed ages ago though.

But they stripped the technical features that were going to be implemented in an effort to get it done sooner(lol), so while it might have started as a technical update, the only goal now is to actually manage to merge the three existing weeks into a single, functioning ren'py game(lmao).

I don't think that's the case. Despite being called a Merge, the actual merging part is the least important aspect. If they can't get the bug fixes, and new mechanics implemented, then there's no point merging it yet at all.

It's Days 22+ that are not getting any fixes and additions. At least for now, I assume. Seems like doing that is going to require updating those days too though. May as well just make Day 22 and 23 the big foundation to build on top of, and just remake the old content later.

 

[Yasuo Reynald]

With all the features stripped down, named it merge is in theory accurate. They're merging the weeks into one .exe, to save space. At least that should be a good thing i guess. Now let's hope for a alpha/beta testing of the Day 22+ soon.

I think I saw a post nearly just like this, back in the thread dated almost 2 years ago.

Surely someone did a similar post like mine, in any case with the MTL i really hope BC will not screw up. Honestly after that if an excuse come up, i'll just consider this game dead and that sadden me a lot because i really love this game and that's a shame that it's put on hold this long.

 

[Dukez]

It's been about 2 weeks since the most recent post, has the dev made a decision yet?

You'll find out in another 2 months

 

[Deleted member 3482284]

I think 2 months is too short for bluecat to make a simple decision like that

 

[OctoSky]

It took a full year for him to make a decision to find a translator. A simple decision of using mtl or not could take Bluecat up to 10 years to answer.

 

[Wolfen5]

That's a severe case of pro-cat-stination... Ok, I'll let myself out.

 

[opiex942]

I'm actually wheezing.

The other options being, presumably:

Waiting for Latecomer to finish the technical update that also merges all the previous weeks into one, as a happy side-effect. Surely he's only 3 more re-writes of the Renpy code away from getting it done. Or perhaps turning all the hardcode(arguably throbbing code as well-but I'm no expert) into soft and/or limp code is nearly halfway done, you guys. The end is in sight. He'd only need a few more months to translate a poorly written average sized novel from German to English.

Or, hear me out. Contact 120 translators, ask them for a sample as proof of their ability and ask each of them to translate 1k words of the script. Job done. Though, with BC's track (w)rec(k)ord so far, it's entirely possible he'd just give everyone the same 1k segment and be forced to find a different set of 110 translators this time and repeat the process.

 

[Smarmint]

Hahahaha. I am shocked. Shocked!

Looks like you were right again OctoSky !
