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

[mannice431]

The patreon bucks will drop even more after the "update" rolls around, most people will log in, see a new update and then SIKE, turns out there's no new content at all, see you in 6/12/x months time.

Game continuously Freezes for week 1 Full and light compressed.. i have to alt+F4 to exit and start game again then load latest save to go maybe 5 mins further into game then it freezes again.. any ideas how to fix that?

see you in 6/12/x months time.

Possible, but unlikely. If things play out similarly to the Week 1 merge then we'll probably go back to a couple of ingame days released every month.

I like the game (even though it's not exactly something i'd pay money to support) but just skimming through the latest pages reveals a very unflattering picture.

Either the dev is just being a lazy fuck (which is always a possibility) or he's an idiot for allowing 1 person (who is apparently the one who really runs the show) to slow down development progress to a crawl (i see no one on the dev team has learned of multi-tasking yet, if one man is down, atleast work on other aspects in the meantime).

Either way, it's not something you should do if you make your livelihood of this game.

sounds more like a hardware problem, make sure all your graphics drivers are up to date

Tbh the last update with new content, aka day 20+21, was on jun of last year, then they started with the merge...10 months later we are still without the merge and with no new content done (I don't count the halloween special as main story content).

I could understand the waiting if besides the merge they were doing another week worth of content, but since that isn't the case I don't see how you can "waste" that much time doing a merge with no new content.

At this point I fear we will still not have the update by 20 jun of this year (exactly 1 year from the last update that wasn't a special). And also having someone speaking for the team instead of the dev doing a brief explanation himself in patreon and other places is a mistake, IMHO.

He's an idiot. Or as I would have put it, he's not handling it as well as he could and some of these issues could have definitely been avoided. Even his PR guy in this thread has said so in their last few posts.

There are definitely good reasons to complain, but the accusations of deliberately withholding content to get more money is just this forums go to "I'm mad that I can't play this now" argument regardless of whether or not it has any basis in reality. With how often the accusation comes up in nearly every games thread on this site, you'd think there was a cabal of adult game makers conspiring behind the scenes to just to fuck us over specifically. It's not even a good scheme. The damage to their reputation wouldn't be worth the money they make.

Any legitimate complaints people make are just going to get drowned out by these ones. I've given up trying to correct misinformation at this point, cause there's just so much.

That's not entirely accurate. Work on the Merge stopped around new years, and they've been working on minor stuff while the project manager has been sick. And he did explain the situation to his Patreons. It's still not a great situation, but you had a few details wrong.

Nothing that I said was not accurated, the last update that wasn't an special was day 20+21, which was updated on patreon on jun 20 of 2020 (so accurated), after that update they started with the merge (again accurated), from jun of last year to april there are 10 months (again accurated), we are still without the merge (accurated) and without new content that isn't a special (accurated).

Not one thing from that is false, but I never said that they were working all the time on the merge, just that since the last update with main story progress, there has been 10 months and we still have not got the merge.

I know you like to defend the dev and all that, but before saying things like that at least read the comment rightly, since I'm not missinforming anyone and not trying to, I'm just frustated with this game and the response of the dev, or more preciselly the ausence of it.

I never said what you said was false. I said you missed out details. I wasn't even defending the dev. I was just adding to your comment. I agree that this has been a shitshow. Heed your own advice.

BC isn't a cheat, lazy, or an idiot. He's just desperately in need of a manager.

You said I had a few details wrong, so to have something wrong, something from what I said must have been bad/a mistake/ false, also saying to someone that what he says isn't accurate is the same as saying he isn't saying the truth, or not enterely, so again saying that some part of what I said wasn't correct or accurated is equal to say something that I said is false/incorrect, or has the term accurate change in the last hour or so?

But well, let's just leave this here since it's just me being nitpick and let's hope the game gets an update soon so we can all finally move on from this shitshow that has been all this.

Letting yourself be in the hands of 1 person is being an idiot, sorry but this is planning 101.

 

[AnimeKing314]

Well there's a new status update on patreon now but it's behind a paywall again. Here's hoping someone leaks what it says at some point.

 

[PPLayer]

10 month after the latest (story content) update still no "abandoned" tag??
Last thing I remember the dev was talking about a merge ... honestly I dont care about a merge!
All game parts are avaiable for download and ready to play. There is imo no need for a merge.
BUT there is a need for new story content!
But after this long time I already gave up to see a "week 4" update ... sadly, because this game was one of my fav´s ...

RIP Ecchi Sensei ... was nice to play you

Hello folks! It's that time again!

Ecchi Sensei - Month 1 - Status Report No. 21:
Time for a new status report and something has changed positively. As you should all know by now, one of my team members suffers from serious health problems and began a treatment as an inpatient a few weeks ago. It seems that the first improvements were now apparent, and he was able to work a little more than before.

This work led to the fact that we were able to make greater progress again and gradually step closer and closer towards the final product of Ecchi Sensei - Month 1. At this point, however, I don't want to come across as overly optimistic.

Yes, we have achieved a lot in the last few days and things are now progressing much faster than before, but the state of health of the said employee is still anything but good. Nevertheless, I am very optimistic about one point and that is when it comes to the fact that we will soon find our way back to our old strengths and that we will be able to publish big updates quickly and as usual for you.

Another positive news to address is the integration of all previous Ecchi Sensei releases into one large all-encompassing version. This happened with almost no error messages. (There were around 2000 merge conflicts, which were resolved independently thanks to our good preparatory work.)

When there is any news again, we will of course inform you about it immediately. But until then I can only tell you that we will continue to work hard to deliver a good final product as quickly as possible and that you will soon be able to immerse yourself in the world as Matsu Matsumoto again to meet your daily duties.

So long,

Blue

Well, that's a bit more positive. Hopefully if the team grows a little more, issues like this won't occur again in future. I can only hope that there isn't much work left for them to do

Considering the delay message was only posted at the very last minute back in December and BlueCat seemed really hopeful about meeting the deadline back then I can't imagine it would take long once this person is back. Unfortunately that also begs the question of why someone else couldn't just finish off the work if it really was as close as he made it seem back then so who knows.

for me merge is bad idea- renpy is good app to manage +4gb files. For me it isn't wrong to play week after week... I quit support dev, when i don't know what I'm supporting - Covidvacation? I don't earn money for sitting and farting...
