my5tyfixx, just a quick tho lad, in your save, are you cheating on tomoe with the mother? And there was also another choice regarding being submissive to that young red hair?

Not even going to bother with this anymore, 2 years for a 2 day update and 2 more years for the next update.

No thanks.

This was not a great update. So many bugs, you can't use your previous saves or else every time you get a text an error occurs and you completely miss the texts, none of the other things work and if you try to change characters names it crashes, quite a few bits of the update weren't even translated, EVEN WHEN IT'S MTL. The whole update was a train wreck. The engrish was actually, somehow even worse than when it was manually translated(what we got in here must have been the MTL hook fine tuned by someone that actually natively speaks english because that level of english was NOT present in the MTL version). It was a dumpster fire and I'm not trying to be mean, but it just makes me wonder what the hell bluecat has actually been doing all the time?

Ok either my Download of the MEGA is broken or both MEGA and DMP is broken because I'm still getting Script Error unless I'm doing something wrong. It all happens when the Phone scene happen.

no really i want to hear how the game can go faster without someone crying about how people will give money to support the person or persons to make the game.
The programmer(s) could actually study Python and Ren'py, because it seems like they're just "making it up as they go." Nothing wrong with that in general, but it's just not suited for a project of this scope. The fact the game is on its second merge-rework is pretty good evidence of this.

Given the delay, anything less than a phenomenal code quality improvement in the merge would be inexcusable. If for no other reason than it would largely invalidate one purpose of the merge (a stable codebase going forward). I have only very little insight into development, but none of it gives me reason to be particularly hopeful.

thank you... now unto the real prob... is there any way (not sounding mean or hostile) to get that message to both sides and implement the idea of making the game go smoother and overall faster to the finish line? granted making the game go for 10 years isnt a good way to go about it i agree with whover said that BUT im not going to perch on that either which is why i stay on the fence for supporting the dev.

No, see the thing is, he has made coutnless promises time and time again said he was still working on this update. Mind you it has been 2 years, TWO since the last update. He has had 2 years to do all this. All we got was a haphazardly thrown together update that wasn't even ran through the MTL hook properly. That's the problem, 2 years got us 2 days. I could do what he gave us in one. The renders are what takes the most time. Not the script. That's the easy part. Working with charastudio or any other studio editor is the problem and even then that's not bad. Everyone's outraged because bluecat has nothing to show for all 2 years of no content that was provided. Then we get something that looks like it was literally thrown together at the last minute. It takes no time at all for a MTL hook to translate an entire book. So basically, everyone's complaining because all we got were 2 days, now what? We take another 2 years to wait till we get another 2 days? People have every right to complain about spending money only to receive a fraction of a fraction of a percent of what was promised. Promised. It's their money that they work hard to earn too. Some of these people even work in retail themselves. It's not double standards, it's not hypocrisy. They deal with verbal abuse too. That's part of the job when you work retail and no amount of workers rights will protect them from that. What you're saying is absurd. There's literally no excuse for what people received when they even themselves pay for this product. It's not a service, it's a product. This product that was received, was not worth the money that was siphoned for the last 2 years. This was not done in good faith, this was to save tail after the game received the abandoned tag because despite what everyone thinks, this site is where most of the backers come from for patreon and subscribestar. This is probably the biggest, and best site to get your game broadcasted if you're an AVN dev, and having the abandoned tag on your work basically deters future backers. Because it shows you either A) Actually abandoned your game, or B) Your work ethic is abysmal and it's not a good idea to back said dev if you expect to receive a proper product for your money.
moeny is the double edge sword in all things that are commerce. remember patreon is and will always be a place of alternative commerce and that wont change unless we get rid of currency all together. it makes things move. granted faster or slower but in fairness can you say that money isnt just a means to an end but the end as well? i say this because thats what ive been seeing most of the time because that is what for most of the time people say is NOT the other way round. sure Dev is slow but if you can say that what about the others? they blame dev and not the others is what ive seen and i think its fallible to just blame dev. artist, coders, and even the PR are a part of this game why not blame them the same way? which is why i also say money isnt an issue its an excuse to make dev look bad on bias not good reason.

I'm glad to see the game is back! This is one of my favorites, I was really sad when it went on a silent hiatus all of the sudden. I see people saying that this new update is a bit of a mess, but it will all be ironed out in time I'm sure. I would offer to help grammar check for you guys to fix the script, but I don't know how I would do that to begin with. I mean I could play it with the script (as in the words, not the code), reword poorly constructed sentences, and then send the script back, but I don't know if it would be that easy. I will say I do want to see this game revived.
