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

[Virulenz]

Is it even possible to avoid some girls? If i remember correctly i had no choice with the milfs or i would never had seen any of their scenes, incl. the wife ^^

 

[Skummy Ecchi]

The game is not on hold, and is still technically in active development despite set backs, its simply not ready yet is all. However work continues to be done on the game, and is not being placed on hiatus, which is what the On Hold tag is actually for. Besides, activity was shown by the developer on January, and I am here representing the developer consistently.

You can't opt out of the relationships, but you can skip the scenes if you choose. You can also make choices to alter how routes go to some extent but Daughters and wife are mandatory relationships regardless of what you do.

 

[Smarmint]

could the mods pls come in and stop this whole back and forth 'debate' between the development team and the community about whether this game is being milked or is just going through a rough patch or whatever because this whole thing has gone on for like 30 pages and it is no longer anything even remotely positive anymore and is just annoying.

Discussions about the game's development are completely valid discussions. As long as the users are reasonably polite, and the discussion is about this game and not on some other topic or some other game, it is valid. This is a game forum. To discuss the game and its development. If you don't want to read it, you are free to click ignore on any user that talks about a topic you don't like. Just click on their name on the left next to their post, click ignore, and you will never see their posts. Done.

...but dont wonder if you are left alone after ignoring all users ^^

Best discussion you can ever have, you never argue and you're always right .
On a side note, while the game is being put on halt, because of an essential member missing.
I wonder if Blue Cat is doing render or writing the script or,
if he's just trying to lick his own balls during that time (cat are flexible i tell you).

Can't remember what page but I remember there being some post saying that patrons have been able to see previews of the next update so there is still work being done. It's just the merge that's on hold (not sure if this was before or after the team member got sick but I'd bet there's at least some work being done by the team while they wait).

 

[Banish]

I don't mind the wait, plus it doesn't seem we have a choice but i hope when the wait is done we can fast forward, you know.

Fast Forward how? Development or the game itself? As one of those is already a feature in renpy, the other one is that we'll be returning to normal update schedule of one month intervals-however we may hopefully see a lot more content moving forward, month to month. The sick team member works to expedite work flow, making successive updates more and more streamlined to develop and bring out content faster and easier form a developer side. This is one reason things tend to not go off the rails typically, because someone is monitoring what's going on and making sure things stay to task, and working to improve more and more so we see consistent growth.

Then again, sometimes when things go so smoothly, it makes bigger bumps and delays hurt worse. Case in point, everyone got so used to proper updates with little to no delays, that this merge has been plucking nerves left and right and leaving many people antsy.

NEW QUESTION!

Tits, Ass, Legs, or Eyes!
Is it up above or between the thighs?
What would you say will turn you on?
Is it her busty chest, or that lacy thong?
Come one and all, tell us now!
What makes you want to plow?
Don't be shy, be unabashed!
Unless you say not the ass

So if you couldn't tell through my of so creative word play, today's question is relatively simple as it relates to the ES girls. What of these features do you most love to look for and what makes you have the hots for these ladies, personality aside.

Personally? Ass for me, but I'm one opinion, I'd like to hear all yours!

So do you think it's just the code-monkey that's in ill health right now? Have the rest of the team been ploughing ahead with the week 4 and 5 content?

define "technically", both you and bluecat have stated that due to complications the month 1 merge is currently unable to be worked on until the teammate is better and from what bluecat has said in the past the month 1 merge needs to be done before they can move on to new updates in order to better streamline updates going forward therefore that means by both those statements no content new or remake/merge content can be produced by the team and if that is untrue then bluecat needs to state that clearly and provide some proof of it otherwise then this game should have an onhold tag on it since it literally does fit the definition of hiatus as it is currently going through an intentional or unintentional developmental pause or break

 

[Virulenz]

I really hope so...would be a shame if there will be no new content after all this wait...

As for the question...i dont see any appeal in asses or udders, i prefer flat/thin belly, flat/small chest and thoroughly shaved pussy. I also prefer a cute face over all and hate thick makeup...okay, except for goth and punk style, but the slutty crap is repulsive. And sexy underwear dont exist in my world, to get me wet she has to get rid of them ^^
Okay, now i make some space for strange people with strange tastes

Portugese translation work is being done consistently while we wait for sick team member to recover, therefore it is technically work being done on the game, that will have some actual impact on players. Beyond this, work has been being done in advance fore streamlining of updates later after merge. The game does not belong On Hold, not unless work stops for a large period of time, and I mean large, like they're not gonna be coming back to it for a good while. We've only been having a delay from this set of circumstances for about one and a half to two months.

So, that means if you define it as provable work being done, the Portuguese translation counts as it has a direct impact on players of the game who can only speak that language. If you define it as community outreach and status updates, I'm right here doing that job and we of course have the progress report posted last. Lastly, defining it as merely time between substantial work and the current delay, we've only been in this delay for less than three months, so its certainly not a hiatus yet. That's three avenues to take on the games development still being at least active, if not hobbled of course.

 

[weissbrot]

I'm sorry, but you're not doing Bluecat or the game any favours discussing semantics.

I only have the insight of a casual observer of this whole situation, and what I see is that an update that was, according to progress updates, just about done at the end of last year has not materialised three and a half months into the new year. And I think it's counterproductive to insist that a translator and project manager cannot (temporarily) be replaced. It would come off more honest if you said the team is unwilling to move on without that persons input - which I think most people here would probably accept and move on.

This forum isn't owed any explanations, or timely releases. But if you do engage with its users, it'll only help the game if you are open and honest, not confrontational. You have decided that you want to play PR manager for this game. When you put on that hat you need to leave your personal feelings behind. You don't get to be offended by someone calling this a scam, or insisting that it's on hold. Your job is to represent the game and the team in the most favourable light possible. Getting dragged into discussions is the opposite of that, all the more so when they degenerate into nothing but yelling: "No, you!"

Okay, that was way too much text, I apologise. I guess what I wanted to say was, calm down, y'all!

Eyes, I think. Or rather, face in general. That's where my initial interest comes from. I generally like a wide variety of body types. Though, I'm generally less interested in massive badonkadonks, due to how often you see it in these kind of games, and fanart, and how ludicrous it can get sometimes.

That said, if I had to narrow it down. Abs, and general athleticism, like Mao and swimming twins and Raven's character who's name has slipped my mind.

I really hope so...would be a shame if there will be no new content after all this wait...

I wouldn't get your hopes up. The merge is just fixing current content. Any new content will be about a month later.

Part of that PR role is correcting misinformation though. The people who insist this is a scam or should be set to "On Hold", are suggesting the devs have just been sitting on their arses all this time, which Skumm has just confirmed isn't the case. Countering inaccurate information that makes the devs look bad, is part of the PR package. Especially with how confident some people are when they spread misinformation. Not countering that effectively would leave new people with the wrong idea.

 

[Smarmint]

If every game that had a few month delay counted as "on hold", 80% of the games here would be on hold. As long as the dev says work is continuing, the game is not on hold. Typically, unless the dev anounces that a game is on hold, and he pauses his Patreon, the mods won't mark a game as on hold.

It's not like putting this game on hold will suddenly cause the sick team member to make a miraculous recovery or otherwise speed up development, so I don't know why people care.

I am going to give my totally psychic estimate that the merge will release sometime in May, and the next release with actual new content will release in July. So only 4 more months people.

We will see if I am close.

 

[sam1234567]

Portugese translation work is being done.

ok so this confuses me a bit, so the Portuguese translation can done right, but doesn't that right require coding work which is apparently done by the project manager? and aren't they also needed to manage and direct how and what work is done but what your saying is that apparently seems to be being done without them? also with the english translation this is a merger not a new update so unless bluecat has done a massive rewrite hasn't the english translation already been done and doesn't it need to be just copied and pasted from point A to B and not actually translate from german to english?

also if the person who is sick is who i think it is i completely understand why bluecat wants to not continue without them but it seems like it would've been better just to say that "a close team member is sick and that they as a team do not feel comfortable moving forward we're sorry for this unexpected delay however we just simply dont want to move on without them as they are a huge part of it both in the work and soul of the team and it wouldnt be the same without them" rather just saying "hey guys translators sick cant move forward still doing stuff though trust us bye"

If you read between the lines, that is basically what they are saying.

 

[sam1234567]

okay but if im a new player or someone who doesn't really pay that much attention to this and i wanna know whats going on and all im seeing is ppl saying that the game is being delayed for a translator that can apparently be replaced and the dev (or the devs prs) response is not that strong or not very explanatory and the whole point of the last 10-20 pages have been to stop misinformation wouldn't be better to just say that instead of having to play the read between the lines game? because i feel like we could've avioded both this and about 400 other conversations that have happened in the last week if they just said that in the first place

 

[Skummy Ecchi]

Okay here is the official statement, and I'm sorry if I am not exactly professional, still getting used to what I've chosen to take on. I am not usually this confrontational but I am a bit defensive. However, I will endeavor to act more polite here on in the future. That being said, I stand firm and will continuously work to keep things up to date, and correctly reported on. Lets get on with it!

A very important member of the dev team is currently sick, they are not able to perform their normal functions, work will resume when they can. There is no timeline for this, nor will there be, this team member will simply return to work when able, you will be updated when this is the case I assure you. The team does not feel comfortable moving forward with someone to replace their role, as they are deemed indispensable by the developer, and as such we are currently delayed in progress for the time being. Some minor work is still being done, and progress will continue to move in one way or another so as not to waste the idle time, namely ensuring new update work that can be done ahead of time is being taken care of now so as to have it prepared for after the Merge.

The Dev Team wants this out as badly as you do, they're sick of dealing with it, but the situation is what it is.

Please be patient, wait it out with all of us, and lets try to talk about something else. It would be much appreciated and would give me far less headaches, as I work out the growing pains of what I have chosen to do. To ensure that at least on this site, this game doesn't get bogged down in game delay blues. If you all could participate and get healthy distraction conversations underway? That'd be greeeeat.

Rehashing my last question because I liked my poem and I wanna get more answers:

Tits, Ass, Legs, or Eyes!
Is it up above or between the thighs?
What would you say will turn you on?
Is it her busty chest, or that lacy thong?
Come one and all, tell us now!
What makes you want to plow?
Don't be shy, be unabashed!
Unless you say not the ass

So if you couldn't tell through my of so creative word play, today's question is relatively simple as it relates to the ES girls. What of these features do you most love to look for and what makes you have the hots for these ladies, personality aside.

Additional Question!

Be able to undo the mind control Crazy Nurse has been using?
or
Be able to reverse aging in all the females in the game?

 

[Virulenz]

...and this sick person will be happy to find the pile of work as soon as she feels better?
There is also no replacement needet, just some (temporary) help...shouldnt be so hard to find some english speaking people in an english board filled with devs, proofreader, coder and artists who would work for free/low price to get the game faster. Almost every buisness hires part timers id they are short on people.

For the additional questions...undo? No. Redirect...i'm in charge, not the crazy nurse ^^
And yes, absolutely yes.
