So, again: all this worth the wait of one year or more (for the gamer) and the loss of many followers (for the developer)?
- Thread starter 7767
- Start date
the real question is.. why is it so damned important to people who aren't even patrons?.. get over it already.. that horse died months ago!!

Yeah, the slump is an unfortunate side effect of illness and other delays. I expect that once they're back to full steam, their fan base will bounce back.

This is quickly getting into the " WTF is going on, this is ridiculous" territory. I do however think the devs aren't intentionally milking. I think they've realized their coding is really bad and they've spent the past months trying to unweave the code they've woven and can't figure out how to make it work.
The best course of action, if they can't figure out how to make it work soon, is to abandon the merge and just split the game like DMD and some of the other larger games are. Start fresh with new code, instead of trying to fix the unfixable.

I was patron for three years, until last week.
These things happen, game will bounce back and when you feel Bluecat has earned it, you may become a patron once again when the regular updates start back up in force.
Might I ask, did you choose for the lumped up Merges or did you make one of the other votes? Simply curious, and I completely understand why you would stop supporting when there is legit no output.
I for one still pay, but that's out fo trust and the nature of my relationship with everyone more than anything to do with current output (IE none)
Aye, same
I think it's too late to abandon the merge now. Not only because it's been too long, and it would look terrible. But because it means everything that's currently broken will remain broken for a long time. If they started fresh from now, it would take another year at least to remake the game, based on how this has been. Apparently they are nearly done with it, so it would make sense to finish it and move from there

I think I voted for the merge, the additional bonus in the game seemed good at the time. But surely I'd voted against it if I'd know that the game itself would stop completely for months and months. If I rememeber correctly, Blue said that updates (specials and episode set in the past) would pop up more or less costantly even during the merge.
I've heard that before... usually shortly before a game is abandoned.
I'm too lazy to read through several hundred posts since I was last here... What's the latest? Did the other dev ever return, or is anything else happening?
Also I tried but couldn't find the Yuki game someone mentioned a long time ago. Don't know if it still exists... or maybe I'm just going crazy and my brain is inventing things that never happened. Also a possibility...

Then don't be surprised if people are "too unmotivated" to give you what you want. At least your honest about being too lazy to do your own research.
Development on merge is in home stretch, but unsure of timeframes until there is a playtest version sent out.
That is all the information available to be given.

Because it sounds like it's written by a 45yo child molester trying to make himself sound like a 7yo girl.

Yeah, that was a mistake. I voted against it after the disaster of the week 1 merger. I remember blue promising that the merger would go smoothly and wouldn't take longer than a regular update, but after the wreck that was the week 1 merger I doubted he could pull it off and looks like I was right, this merger is going much worse than the last one.

June 20, 2020 was when 20+21 came out, Almost a year for a merge. I regret voting for the merge back then. I was under the impression it would speed up the process of updates. That was a foolish mistake.
Considering that updates were going to a pretty fast clip, like seriously, just check out how many days were released between January-June of 2020. I have absolutely no idea why any patron would have voted for the merge. Were they that unsatisfied by the visual novel style that they just needed those sandbox elements?

The sandbox was getting implemented regardless, I think. So, the vote wasn't motivated by that. It's still a visual novel though. The "sandbox" just adds optional scenes. No grinding or anything.
