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

[Smarmint]

pretty sure site got commision from dev, if such thing has happened but rule didn't change

I don't think that this site's policies have anything do with donations from devs, though I hear this conspiracy theory come up a lot around the forums here. I think it is more that this site doesn't want to get in the business of trying to figure out a dev's true intentions, which is impossible anyway.

There are a lot of amazing, high quality games here that are legitimately in development that are on the 1 year + cycle, "Deluca Family", "Dr. Amana, Sexual Therapist", "Halfway House", or "Summers Gone", where the dev is clearly working on their game, but just takes a long time to release updates, due to other issues in their lives, work, family, etc, or just perfectionism. This site doesn't want to antagonize such devs, which are mostly active in the community here, by labeling their games "Abandoned" or "On Hold" when it clearly isn't. Nor do they want to annoy them by labeling the game "slow development" or other similar tags. This site works best when devs hang around and participate. I think their games are better for it as well, and get more support.

If you can think of a foolproof method to separate the devs that are legitimately working at a high level, but just take a long time, like the games I just mentioned, from the clear scammers and malingerer's like Bluecat, who at this point, is clear to anyone, that he is happy doing nothing indefinitely, feel free to suggest it.

If I was to take a stab at such a rule, I would say if the actual dev (not a proxy), posts evidence of development: screenshots of an upcoming update, or story themes, at least once every 6 months, and also posts some type of status update every 3 months, the game will not get any tag. If the actual dev (not a proxy) does not post anything on Patron or here for 3 months, a game is tagged "Abandoned" due to radio silence. If there is no evidence of development, as I mentioned here, for 6 months, but they still post something on Patreon or here every 3 months, it gets tagged "On Hold". If a game has more than 18 months since last update, it gets tagged "On Hold", and if it doesn't get an update in the next 6 months after that, it gets marked "Abandoned" after 2 years.

I think this would leave out real working developers, who are active either on here or on their Patron, and frequently post screenshots or discuss plot points or other important details about the upcoming update, from those who pretend to work on it, just to keep collecting monthly donations, but can't make the effort to show any evidence whatsoever that there is an update forthcoming.

I would say, the rule should be changed also to only take into account public patreon etc posts. Regardless of if a devs likes / agrees with it or not they get free publicity here and if they want to written update posts behind a pay wall this site should consider it not an update at all. Look at all the other games in the global industry that has piracy, all their updates (patch notes, future plans, etc) are all freely available regardless if you bought the game or not. It should be treated to this standard and if they don't follow it they can't complain if they get less interest / monetary gains as a result.

Yeah, putting status reports behind a paywall is one of things that irks me the most. If Elden Ring had the details of it's recent patch update behind a paywall, people would rightfully lose their shit. Ecchi Sensei isn't the only one that does this, but it's the most egregious cause the content of said Status Reports is so barebones and free of substance.

you guys are forgetting that this is not a piracy site, this site is just a place for 18+ game developer to gain publicity, i'm pretty sure the site owner, moderator or whatever you call it get some money or something from developer like this
that's why this loophole of 3 month exist, dev do nothing for 3 months then post a stats update without content update, that 3 month is enough time to gain another victim, even if its just 5$ per month

any comment like this one, or even comment that suggest the site owner taking developer side always get deleted immediately

Remember peeps, a true piracy site always taking pirate side, not the developer
if the site taking pirate side then this game should've got the abandoned or at the very least a warning tag long time ago, to prevent new ppl got scammed but nah, this site is on developer side

i remember some mod or something reply to me before my comment got deleted, that "there's no such warning tag is required, ppl can check comment to see what's going on"
A good excuse indeed, but here on comment section we don't know who's on dev side, PR ppl like skummy exist, whose only job is to lie and bullshitting ppl in favor of the dev

No, this is very much a piracy site. Some devs begrudgingly role with it, and make it work to their advantage by cultivating a following here, but the main purpose is to get porn games without paying for them. Which in turn works in the sites benefit, because it means no legal troubles with the devs.

The mods rules enable a neat symbiosis, but that doesn't make us not pirates.

I'm not using pirate as a derogatory either. It's just what we are.

if i remember there's also been a case on another game that do this kind of things, only do stats update for 2 years, reaping all the money he can get, while doing nothing
until this site tag that game as abandoned, then as soon as it got that tag the game update the next day with minimal update
and this site remove that abandoned tag
pretty sure site got commision from dev, if such thing has happened but rule didn't change

No, because updating like that is still an update, so instantly negates the Abandoned tag. At worst, it's abusing a loophole, but noone would need to get paid for it in the situation you just described.

Depends on how you use the site, for me if it wasn't for this forum i wouldn't have known a lot of outstanding devs. Before coming to this forum i used some other sketchy download site, because it was difficult find who the dev was or how to cantact him. Thanks to F95zone i'm in contact with many devs through PM, and also i support some of them via Patreon. For those that i don't support directly i help them with Proofreading, translating, beta testing or bug fixing; this for me isn't considered "pirating".
Also you forget that in this forum you can find huge amount of information on many topics: info about assets, programming, modding, ecc. Those topics don't have any relation to "pirating".

I'm not saying it's just a pirating site, as it covers quite a lot, but it's still a pirating site.

then why are we not allowed to post paywalled status update on the game comment? tried to do it once, got warned and they delete my message
the purpose of piracy is to not be bounded by paywalled content on the internet, yet they didn't allow it?


also about the patreon only extra content on game, why no one is allowed to post it here? i've seen alot of game have paywalled extra content, but none of it is allowed to be posted in this site
thats negate the purpose of "to get porn games without paying for them"

 

[Bomatres]

a pirating site, doesn't care if its extra content or even just status update that is paywalled, they allow everything that is not free to be shared on the site so the member can get it for free

While I agree with this site's particular allowances and/or restrictions are up for debate(in the context of piracy), not all games here are uploaded by the devs. So, if someone else brings us content (whether or not the dev gives their consent) that would usually only be available on Patreon or any other site typically requiring a voluntary "donation" to access it, that act itself can be construed as piracy. Regardless of any specific aspects that you may consider being defined as piracy.
This site, like any other, has the right to put TOS rules into effect since it's also a forum(among other things) and can enforce them as they see fit. It's privately owned and thus, your definition of piracy is moot since you have zero say in how they go about managing it.

Nobody stops paywalled updates from being posted, I handle that for all updates posted, sometimes it takes me a little bit but I always give you guys all information available to patrons.

Also yes, this is first and foremost a piracy site, but is also a central community hub for resources, recruitment, outreach towards non subscribers, marketing to a broad audience, and a secure place to meet like minded persons to either develop or consume adult content.

While it is a piracy site, it's also a legitimate source of help and networking vital for the successes of the AVN community.

how to instal the dm patch there's no readme.txt in my file

 

[Onebadbassist]

This, so far, has been one of my favorites. I love the vast number of characters and storyline thats kept me hooked so far. Eagerly looking forward to more.

One question though, were they planning to fix character cards so they transfer over from week 1 to week 2 stats and all? I think saves don't carry over, but i played week 2 first just to give this game a try, then went back to week 1 afterwards. I like seeing an update on their cards every time a character is added or changed.

If you save week one at the white screen after you and mao meet and kiss in the wardrobe room you can copy and paste that save file from week 1 game folder saves into week 2 game folder saves

 

[Onebadbassist]

Save it to the game folder same as most patches

 

[Redyscom]

So, no news about the state of the game (Obviously ignoring the month publication that has 0 useful information), I don't know but a part of me, a little dumb part, still have hope to see the month 1 release.

"you guys are forgetting that this is not a piracy site, this site is just a place for 18+ game developer to gain publicity,"

Sorry to burst your bubble a bit but this is very very much a piracy site even and often containing complete rips of steam and JP released visual novels released for commercial sale and not authorized for redest. or even distribution outside of japan. most every update you will find here unless the page is poorly kept is a patreon leak and most up to date version of a game public release or not. F95 is located in a physical country that basically does not care about copyright complaints (like cypress) so any attempt to shut the site down is an act in futility and its so massive that it in fact incidentally adds publicity to games that might not receive it so some devs know full well that there game will end up here, take an active intention of cultivating a following here and promoting there game as many of us pirates do in fact buy the product if its good enough or we like special features such as getting a character in Ecchii Sensai. and sometimes the forms and feed back can be useful for development. the infamous nature of F95 is so large that if this site declares your game abandoned it can seriously effect revenue off site. and for F95s part they do actively court devs to participate and offer incentives such as developer titles and links to there revenue sources.

You are wrong. This IS a piracy website.

Is there a reason why I can't play the Mac version? I keep getting the same message "The application “EcchiSensei” can’t be opened." I tried using the app, "PlayOnMac" but that does nothing.

You could try the command line fix or running it with Renpy Dev Kit.

Thank you, I'll give it a try tomorrow.
