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

[Deleted member 440241]

I just don't understand why he decides to go radio silent for so long. I genuinely feel like he only makes patreon posts now to avoid ES getting the "abandoned" tag.
It would take him maybe 5 minutes in a week to write us a small progress update, like "Hey, so far I estimate we're xx% done with the merge, and xx% done with the things surrounding it, in the meantime I've been working on animations/renders for day xx/xx and the script for those days has already been completed. Hope u guys stick with us for a little while longer, and thanks for all the support on the game/merge so far"
I guarantee if he did a weekly post with something among those lines, he wouldn't be BLEEDING patreons like he his now. The number is only continuously going down, down and further down.

I agree completely. Progress updates should be at least monthly when a project is delayed. Bluecat could have, and should have, easily done quick posts on Patreon and/or discord so people have a better idea of what's going on. Especially after the sick dev came back when there's going to be actual progress to report. I get doing them less often when there's no news, but I don't thing Bluecat made the right decision by doing so. I'm just sick of half my notifications for this thread being people whining about how late the game is, many lying about how late updates are by saying it's been over a year. These are people who want something to bitch about and decided a porn game they download free from a pirate site was the easiest target.

FYI, half a year overdue is a long time. To put it into perspective, if you're given a project by your manager in any form of job, and fail to complete it 6 months after the deadline, you'd have been fired and jobless for the past 6 months. We all know it's 'laying the foundations'. So it isn't a 'buggy mess'. We've seen the same lines since last year. People have the right to be annoyed when something they've paid for becomes whatever this is, a waste of time? It feels like it

But I'm sure a patreon post behind a paywall that repeats itself like in the 5 previous posts will change everything

Anyways, most the people who used to feel the same don't even follow this game anymore. People like you might just push even more away, so congrats. You're doing a great job

Have you paid attention to any entertainment medium ever? Games, movies, and books are delayed by months or years all the damn time. When games aren't delayed they're often forced to release too early by production companies and come out a buggy mess. 6 months for a small indie project where a key member GOT SICK DURING A GODDAMN PANDEMIC is nothing. But if being told to wait a week before you continue complaining causes you to stop playing, then good riddance. If you don't like the delay or you don't think the game will continue you're free to walk away at any time. The patreon posts and information from the discord get shared here plenty. The only reason it's hard to find is because people like you flood the thread.

According to Bluecat's last progress update the content for the next 2 releases has already been prepared and just needs coding.

Well, that is encouraging to hear. This is the first I have heard since November that any content whatsoever has been developed since Halloween. Thanks for sharing.

I said the same things as you 6 months ago. Which is exactly why I know it's a lie
They were 'close to finishing it' in January. And then one team member got sick. They recovered ages ago. And then suddenly, more work appeared out of nowhere, so it turns out they were never close to finishing it. They refuse to hire someone else to finish the work, and can't even communicate except for bi monthly posts behind a paywall. And Skummy is not on the dev team. It shows a clear lack of respect
So how many excuses do they need to slap you with before you finally wake up? Clearly a lot
I'll say it clearly, patronizing people who have paid for this, is the dumbest thing you could possibly do. I haven't bothered to respond here for ages. But your ignorance grossed me out

I don't want to get into this, nor do I know what they got sick with but it's my understanding they've been well for a while now back when it was 'almost' complete in January. That aside, the pandemic has actually little effect on games like this because I'm sure they're all (outside like rare, 'AAA' style games straight to steam) working from home anyway so it really has little to no effect on production.

Hopefully once the merge is done the mods can delete the last 70+ pages as they offer nothing to anyone.

Is there any sign of android ports with the dark mind patch?
Love the games but much prefer playing them on my phone

 

[BOBJevent]

All these comments and excuses about the game and Dev. Why not add the "On Hold" tag to shut these comments down so that other people with legitimate questions can get a word in. LOL

For the 55th time because it is not "on hold" and doesn't qualify for F95's tag of such.

FUCKING READ

Thanks for stating the obvious but don't you think if it was placed on hold due to no ETA of any release after such a longtime, it would lessen the amount of crap that you need to read to find the info?

 

[Smarmint]

Well, the issue isn't whether the game is actually on hold or not. By F95 rules, if the dev communicates once every 3 months and does not publicly say the game is on hold, it won't get the on-hold tag. Since Skummy says there is work on the game, and Bluecat posts an update every 2 months saying "things are happening", than it will never go on hold.

Besides, I think work is happening, just based on Skummy's comments and what he told us about the gitlab updates. I wish there would be a target date for the update, even if it was 4 months from now, so we could have something specific to look forward to, but since I am not a patron (of this game), that is just one person's opinion.

Anyway, I know it is an old question, but I would love to see a threesome with Masai and Sloth Chan. Both characters have been pretty neglected as far as excitement goes, so I would love to see more action with those two.

Why? I've never understood this mentality. Do you play porn games during your commute? Do you share your computer with a ton of people and not use password locked profiles? What is it you like more about playing a porn game on your phone than on a computer with likely a much bigger screen and better resolution?

tru'er words were never spoken.

 

[Smarmint]

I was thinking the same thing. Are that many google chromebook users out there? Playing one of these games on a phone is a frustrating experience, it is quite laggy and crashes a lot, so I don't see the appeal. Perhaps it is to play on a long commute on the subway, or car pooling? But in that case, the other riders might be uncomfortable seeing some of the sexy scenes.

I know lots of users here are from variety of countries, so perhaps laptop or desktop PCs are harder to obtain, so a phone is the only option.

Actually it does qualify for "on hold" tag, what you guys are talking about would qualify it for "abandoned" tag. At least for smaller games.

 

[TadStrange]

Holy crap, I honestly forgot this game existed until I saw the recent reply notifications. Hope this gets an update soon story was getting good.

[Skummy Ecchi]

At this point I feel like I need to let you guys get this out of your system, as whatever I say will just be deemed an excuse or something else. So no more comments from me unless questions.

With that, Question Time.

Simple: You're forced to ditch two of these girls from your harem time for good, which one do you choose? Why?

Tomoe, Fuyu, Mao, Saki, Himiko, Marlies, Becky, Neko, Sakura, Mika

Stay Healthy, Stay Ecchi

I would choose Skummy Ecchi.
I'm tired of reading excuses from her.

Tomoe, Fuyu, Mao, Saki, Himiko, Marlies, Becky, Neko, Sakura, Mika

Now why did you have to pick THIS question!? How am I supposed to- (grunt)

I'd probably ditch Neko because I find her cheerful kitty attitude too loud and annoying for my personal preference. There, I said it. Hit the bricks if you don't like my choice. Cheerful is fine on its own, but she is way too loud and a bit too ditzy about anything about cats. Cats are good, but Jesus, girl.

And... Saki. Yes, Saki. Saki feels a bit forced onto me with the Incest tag. I have nothing against Incest in games, but she comes across as you don't have a choice with her. Like, you don't have a say whether or not you want to pursue a relationship with her. Given the choice, I probably wouldn't go for her.

 

[Construct]

Saki feels a bit forced onto me with the Incest tag.

That‘s a strange way to write Himiko
