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

[Construct]

I imagine the situation to go like this. No release in July. People keep complaining. People keep saying „If the dev doesn‘t give an update I will definitely totally absolutely stop my 1000$ per month subscription, this time for real no jokes „ people will jump to defend the dev and his radio silence. The dev will lose only a few more patrons until the next update. And when the update drops every single one of you crybabies will be back saying „It took so long but it was totally worth it. Take all my money and my first born if I had one.“ Everything will be back to normal and the dev can finally go and live in Japan and never leave the house there instead of where he lives now.

Nah, it was Corona's fault.

The pandemic that forced everyone inside somehow delayed games made from home. It's fascinating, really.

Alternatively...

The pandemic that has killed nearly 4 million people and is still ongoing, caused the Project Manager of the game (who happens to be a very well respected member of the F95 community) to have to be hospitalized and receive in-patient care, which caused delays to the development process.

It's fascinating how easy it is to present the information when you're not an asshole, really.

 

[pwnography]

The Project Manager wasn't hospitalized. According to their own updates, it was someone else on the team.

And that might be acceptable except it came immediately after they missed a 2 week self-imposed deadline which has been going on for... 6 months and counting. Now THAT is a hell of a miscalculation. How do you confuse 2 weeks of work with 6 months (and counting), after you worked on a project for years?

I might be an asshole but don't call me that. It's rude. I don't call you a sheep. Even though I could. But I won't. Because I am above calling you a sheep. It would be rude.

If I download weeks 1-7, do I need to DL individual dark mind patches?

Yes, you will need the Week "One" patch

Yes but make sure you get the DM patch marked Week 1 - Final.

Latecomer serves as the Project Manager, Proofreader, and Translator for the project. That's been made clear both in this thread and on the Discord, by Blue and by Skummy (who like myself has no association with the project).

I find it hilarious that you think I'm a sheep (you'll note that I don't outright claim that you are calling me one, because I possess the reading comprehension abilities of someone with more than a grade school education) when I've said in this thread that Blue deserves criticism of how he's handled the delays and his lack of communication.

What I don't find hilarious is having to come into the thread and debunk the absolute trash that is served up by you and others, who so desperately want to craft a narrative that is not only untrue but unnecessary, and hope that the next time a mod is in the thread they see our exchange and delete both of our messages.

I don't think I'm asking for much. Criticize any of the things that are worthy of it. Hell, criticize the patrons who voted in favor of pursuing the merge and fixing all of the broken elements instead of jumping directly into days 22+. When there's plenty to complain about, you really don't need to go making things up, I promise.

Nah. Blame for that doesn't lie on those who voted, while coughing up cash, for an option. It lies solely on whoever decided to offer it as an option. People are going to generally assume you can deliver if you offer something.
I do think it'd be interesting if we could see what the vote would look like today if you removed votes from patreons who dropped support. Like, would the yays or nays have more patreons leaving over the past year?

The fact that you're willing to throw patreons under the bus for this pretty much proves your insane bias in this situation.

You can find incongruencies even in the 3 generic updates they've written for themselves as excuses. Imagine if you actually had an objective look into the situation and not have to go off the word of people directly profiting off it.

It's ridiculous that I even have to type this. That's why jokes are better. Trying to reason with people who are unreasonable is a waste of everyone's time.

Then why are you still here?

Just to suffer.

Having a project manager that isn't the actual founding and main developer is always going to go wrong anyway. Blue should be the 'project manager'. He isn't the leader of his own project. What did he expect?

Alternatively...

The pandemic that has killed nearly 4 million people and is still ongoing, caused the Project Manager of the game (who happens to be a very well respected member of the F95 community) to have to be hospitalized and receive in-patient care, which caused delays to the development process.

They did not get covid. It's been an ongoing issue from 2019, if you read the logs in discord instead of lying you'd be able to see that. And they said that it developed worse half a year ago. You're attempting to guilt trip someone using the pandemic as an excuse, while ironically complaining about having to 'debunk trash' that other people say

And now for the real part:

This issue will not be going away. A chronic illness does not simply vanish. Putting the responsibility of project manager on someone who is dealing with that, is the worst choice that could be made for them. Not only that, but it should have been pretty obvious years ago that delays like this would happen. Which bluecat has failed to recognise. Regardless, even if the merge is completed, delays will be consistent and constant. So either way, the game will die. Shouting at people for stating the obvious will not stop that

I got no opinion, cause its gonna be labeled as sucking up or defending the team. So enjoy yourselves and I'd ask you refrain from speaking more on the personal issues of the development team please. It's quite rude. While it does affect the production of the game, it would be kinder to let it lay and focus on other facets of what's up. There are many other facts on the matter of the issue to get into, that do not concern the health of a team member.

Beyond that, have at it about everything, I will leave with a question because you guys are getting really fighty lately.

I also do not give a shit if you wanna personally blame me for picking merge all at once. It was my choice and I still feel it was the best case scenario, gets all the headaches out in one giant shitstorm.

Question:

Do you prefer small or big boobs, small or big butts, skimpy or conservative clothing, wilder hair or more classic styles.

Which of the girls exemplifies each of these preferences the best, and why?

Stay Ecchi!

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/000window.rpy", line 98, in _window_auto_callback
_window_show()
File "renpy/common/000window.rpy", line 60, in _window_show
renpy.with_statement(trans)
Exception: Could not find font u'mod/Tahoma_Correct_Version.ttf'.

Does anyone have an idea of what I should do? Any help would be appreciated.

-small (-ish) around B
-small
-conservative, but revealing (does that make sense?)
-classic, straight, long (any of the "-tails" options)

-Himiko? (I don´t know, I always pick Himiko. -3rd daughter )

 

[Czin55]

Nvm figured it out.

I prefer big but not OVERLY big (starts to look cartoonish), bigger butt, conservative clothing, and classic hair for the most part but a change up isn't always a bad thing especially for character development (goes for clothes to).

My reasoning is that it leaves the character to change if it calls for it or that there not just 1 dimensional with little to say other than im just your average whore. Gives them there own style and if done well the style goes with that personality and it makes them seem that much more real or interesting as character by themselves.

FINALLY, something I can be bothered to answer!

I like big boobs, small butts, both senses of clothing (time, place, context matter), and classical hairstyles.

When it comes to big boobs, I must say that Masae fulfills that niche quite well, as she does have an ample bosom by which a man could drown. Tomoe isn't bad herself.

For small butts, Kaede is filling that cute spot with her derriere and her cute petite nature, combined with her stern leadership of the Student Council. Mika doesn't have a bad one, either.

Clothing makes things a bit more tricky. I like them both (but put a girl in a gown and I will go apeshit cuz that's the best of both worlds), but for skimpy, I must say that Marlies knows how to go skimpy when she wants to. It's like a gift. She wants to go skimpy, she picks an outfit that would fit her quite well and make men want to drool over her. Also Minako, but she's practically naked all the time.

As for Conservative, Fuyu does it expertly, because well... Fuyu. Also Nikki. She's cute in her clothes.

And as classic hairstyles go, I don't yet know. So many of them have classic hairstyles.

 

[Black Mamba24]

I forgot this game even existed until recently, are the devs following the same business scheme
Icstor is?
What happend??

It's been 2 years since the thread got updated but they are still earning 4k a month lmao

Thread updated: 2020-10-31!
I agree that time flies sometimes, but comparing 8 months with 2 years hmmm? I think some people here really need to go back to school, if you're not already still on it that is
