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

[Dukez]

Merge ain't done because its not done

90% of everything is a failure and only 10% happens to be shit that works out for us.

Update coming out sometime April, Bluecat has precisely one month before abandoned tag really comes into true play, it will be a normal sized update. Not 2 years crammed inside, that is a crude misconception of what has been happening and you need to re-center your expectations to be as if we are going back to normal and this 2 year pause is just simply being un-paused for the time being. I'll let you know when we get closer to a release date what is going on.

Truer words never spoken.

If 90% of what they are doing is failing, they need to re-evaulate (surprise surprise) their workflow. Even cutting edge technology which accounts for low yield rates has higher success rate than that 10%.

I personally have never expected 2 years crammed into one update, but I would expect the usual content amount in the past which should be 2-3 days in an update, no?

MTL based translations, it's a standard sized update that has had the renders done for at least a year if not more, and script is written fully as while I am not allowed to disperse it, I did read and run it through translation to test shit for Blue. The only thing I would say would be the reason its been held up so long is because Bluecat kept holding out hope things would rectify

Glad to see his doing MTL then after he originally asked his community then said no afterwards. I'll still wait on the proof that comes in the update but it's at least one good thing and I hope they stick with MTL with minor alterations since it's as good if not superior than what was before and provides one less thing to drag the game even further into the abyss.

Jumping off what AnimeKing above me was saying, shouldn't it already be complete now given his already wrote the script, wouldn't take long to MTL, done the images, etc? I could imagine play-testing for bugs taking a little bit (i'm not sure how much time you generally do on this stuff) but in terms of putting completed stuff into renpy I couldn't really see it taking more than 2 days personally. I'm not sure if I'm being generous here or under-estimating but I'll stand on that number I guess.

Amazing. I replied to the mod post, asked for proof of this "showing signs of working". Wasn't nasty, didn't use profanity, didn't call the mod any hurtful names or say he was in on the scam, I genuinely wanted to know what he has seen that proves Bluecat is working. My post was deleted in 2.8 seconds. Reason: Trolling. Ok....Wonder if yours will stay since mine was trolling.

I dunno, I guess I was the chosen one, either that or they never saw it.

To answer, I really don't know what if anything is left to do and what will take him time to do it on, though I do know he's down to one monitor and his older computer so he might just be sluggish on whatever's left, because of to-him inefficient set up to what he usually works on. I dunno, just a guess that he's just being awkward or something. Like I said, I'll let you guys know soon about when exactly he's planning to get this thing out.

 

[Serupiko]

Okay so, why isnt this game considered abandoned already? Its a serious question, because I have been checking often for the update and whenever I check this the discussion is the same with maybe a few more excuses.

 

[int13]

The "abandoned" tag will be set after this month... so why would they rush to update right now?
...if they release something, then only at the end of the month

Now he has hidden how much he earns on Patreon.

Now he has hidden how much he earns on Patreon.

You can still guess pretty easily how much he is making. It's pretty sad to see his income decrease at the rate it has been decreasing, since the game is really good in my opinion. But you can't really blame people for stopping their support after almost 2 years of no updates.

 

[Smarmint]

Now he has hidden how much he earns on Patreon.

With a little basic math, it's not too hard to get the exact value. I am not sure who Bluecat things he is fooling. Right on the front page of his Patreon it says 53% complete to his goal of $5000 a month.

Hmm. $5,000 * .53 = $2,650.

Hey Guys. Is there something I missed? Been downloading all these files... Now on Week 3 I see by description it says that this is DAY 15-21 - right? Alright, so I downloaded the one from MEGA which is named "EcchiSensei-D20+21v1.0-FINAL". Right?
So my question is, where is Day 15-19? I am familiar with this stuff, but when I am launching the Week 3it stands clearly that this is D20+D21. I have downloaded the DARK MIND patch which gives you the option to download each of these days separate. I patched each and one of these DARK MIND (Day 15-17 -> 18-19 -> 20-21) and I started chronologically. Likely, this could be a common question. If that is the case please don't go full attack, just point me in the direction would you please. Thanks in advance - you guys rock!

Week 1 is the only one named properly, 20+21 is all of Week 3, 15-19 included already buddy

Uh, did he suddenly lose a lot of people? It's now 39% on that 5k goal, 79% to that goal of 2.5k

Where are you looking at?

 

[ryyyn73]

Interesting.
I'm seeing 58%:

 

[rentintin]

man this whole thing is just a fucking scam hahaha

 

[Skummy Ecchi]

You guys are weirdos sometimes

No, it is not. It should have been much faster, maybe then he would have actually done something to save this game earlier and not only after almost 2 years of doing nothing.

You guys are weirdos sometimes

I feel personally insulted. Some of us are weirdos all the time.

It is kind of weird how upset people are about others who choose to continue paying BlueCat. It's the same with Summertime Saga, Waifu Academy, AWAD etc. Even Teraurge, which has $1 and $4 Patreon subscription levels and is done entirely as a passion project. It's outrage porn about porn games.

Granted, some of those criticisms are entirely justified. ES lingering in limbo until the month it gets the Abandoned tag looks especially shady even considering the justifiable delays caused by life events. You're not going to 'win' any argument or mitigate criticism in a meaningful way unless we see continued, real progress in this game. Frankly I don't even know why you try. BlueCat apparently doesn't like F95 to begin with, so why would he care if the feeling is mutual?

I don't think they're upset at others paying - after all, any fool can choose where they spend their hard earned. I think the upset, is that many people have discovered ES ( and other games) through this forum, and continue to do so, and the lack of abandoned tag may mislead people to support.

As for BC not liking this forum anyway, I believe whilst his dislike is because we don't arse lick or pander to him (well, the majority of us anyway), nevertheless he knows this forum does his advertising for him - so he has to care, in a way.

 

[OctoSky]

justifiable delays caused by life events.

Not being an ass, but name one delay, not the health of Latecomer, that is justifiable. The health issue might have been real, who knows, I don't, but after that it was excuses or Bluecat was beating around the real issue and speaking a bunch of nonsense to make it look important.

BlueCat apparently doesn't like F95

He likes the website, hates the people. The website gives him advertising.

 

[Oper4tor]

Damn, I liked this game back in the day, with all the sideplots and story elements it was really interesting. Shame that developement halted.
