The legion of fans of this game is very large, I believe that in this universe of people there are several who could continue the project.

Most Recent patreon Post - ( February )
Hello folks,
It's been a while since the last status update and I wish I finally had something positive to announce. However, I would like to get back to you and inform you about the current situation.
As you know, I started looking for translators intensively last year in order to realise plan B, which looked like this:
Latecomer continues to work on month 1 while I hire a translator for the next updates of Ecchi Sensei that I have already finished and they release asap.
I had talks with 6(!) different translators who were all fully motivated in the beginning and each wanted to join the project for different reasons.
Unfortunately I got a refusal from all of them for various reasons but the main reason was that there was just too much to translate and due to lack of time no one was willing to do the job.
For this reason, I looked for other options and found an inconvenient but nevertheless workable stopgap solution called "Plan C" which consists of simply translating from German to English via machine translation.
As I said, it is a stopgap and we are in an emergency situation, without wanting to sugarcoat it.
I don't know when Latecomer will finally finish his work, but if nothing changes, I will set a deadline for the next Ecchi Sensei update, translated by said machine translation.
I have tested a few translation programs and would like to show you a few examples of what you can expect if the deadline comes:
Example 1:
Original text: Michiko from Update: Day 10+11:
"Es ist nicht immer einfach mit ihr. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass wir uns immer weiter voneinander entfernt haben."
English translation from Latecomer:
"It's not always easy with her. I got the feeling that we're putting up more and more distance between us."
Translation software:
"It's not always easy with her. I have the feeling that we have grown further and further apart."
Example 2:
Original text: Satomi from Update Day15-17:
"Neko und Shina, ihr leitet die zweite Gruppe. Ihr dreht eure Runden hier und ich will dann eure verschwitzten T-Shirts sehen!"
English translation from Latecomer:
"Neko and Shina, you go on to lead the second group. You're running your laps here and I want to see your sweaty shirts afterwards!"
Translation software:
"Neko and Shina, you lead the second group. You do your rounds here and then I want to see your sweaty T-shirts!"
Example 3:
Original text: MC'S thoughts from Update: Day 20+21:
"Aber sie scheint wohl eher ein sozial distanziertes unhöfliches, aber schnell zur Sache kommendes was auch immer zu sein..."
English translation from Latecomer:
"But it turns out she seems to be a socially distant, rude, but straightforward...
whatever..."
Translation software:
"But she seems to be more of a socially distant rude but quick to the point whatever..."
Example 4:
Original text: Narrator-kun from Update: Day 18+19:
"Ein neuer Tag brach an und [mcm] schwang sich voller Elan und Tatendrang aus dem Bett, um sich anzuziehen und sich so für den neuen Schultag vorzubereiten."
English translation from Latecomer:
"A new day began and [mcm] jumped out of bed full of energy and motivation to get dressed and get ready for the new school day."
Translation software:
"A new day dawned and [mcm] swung out of bed full of vigour and drive to get dressed and thus prepare for the new school day."
Example 5:
Original text: MC'S thoughts from Update: Day 8+9:
Vielleicht kommt sie ja mal zu Besuch. Das letzte Mal als wir uns gesehen haben ist nun auch schon gut zwei Monate her.
English translation from Latecomer:
"Maybe she will come to visit sometime. Last time we met was two months ago."
Translation software:
"Maybe she'll come to visit. The last time we saw each other was a good two months ago."
As you can see, the translation software works differently than my co-worker. How much worse it is now, I cannot judge. I leave this to you to decide. Please let me know your opinions here in the comments, or in Discord in the #feedback channel.
I will continue to do everything I can to ensure that your patience is not in vain, and I hope that you can live with the idea of a translation software that was born out of necessity, should it really come to pass.
So long
Blue

You're a little late to the party. We've gone through all of this as it came out. There has always been the words. Words, words, words.
Unfortunately, like a nun's bed, NO ACTION. You can white knight all you want but until there's actually something concrete to show after all this time, words are as empty as Matsu's balls after a day with his family.
If this gets updated, cool, if it doesn't, I've made my peace with it. Still hope it does get an update one day, but the dev's reputation has really taken a huge hit due to all this.

Yep. I am not sure what is worse, Bluecat pretending (badly) he has worked on the game sometime in the last 2 years, or Chainzero deleting his game, Connected, in a fit of rage, disappearing from F95 and Patreon completely while still collecting monthly donations, and then coming back a year later to admit what he did and say, "my bad".
I think it is a toss up.
Thanks to the mods who acknowledged the inevitable. If any game deserved the abandoned tag, it is this one.

In before the realization it turn out to be an April Fools joke and the proverbial crap hits the fan once again.
Abandoned tag won't stick around for too long, also I leave for a bit and this shit happens, of course it does...
Anyways, game update still coming out sometime in April, don't care if you believe me or not that's just how it is.
Bluecat kind of got on me about this earlier, but I was working a full day so no time for this nonsense, overall here to just kinda let people know the matter will be resolved soon.

Skummy, not to be a dick but you also said in 2021..A LOT...that an update will be out before 2022. I could quote every single post where you said it but I won't. Until someone shows actual PROOF that it'll be April I'll just choose to not believe a word from you or Blue. Sounds passive aggressive but mostly just tired of empty words for 2 years.
Like wolfen5 says: Words, words, words are empty.
Now onto the tag. Do you think Blue will pull a Icstor and release a 5 minute update to get the tag removed to reset the clock?

No, he will release 5-10 gig dogshit merge update without any "features" he spoonfed to patreons and call it a day. Basically the same thing that happened during first merge, just bigger.

Removed the Abandoned tag for now - we accidentally pulled the trigger early . . . whoops!
To be clear: BlueCat has been offering regular status updates and showing signs of working on their next update all along, so that's not the issue.
We also have a rule where games that go with >1.5 years between releases can also trigger the Abandoned status tag. But we miscounted in this case by one month, sorry for the confusion.
