Didn't he say that after the shitshow from the week 1 merge ?
- Thread starter 7767
- Start date
You're clearly missing a very pivotal point here, you confuse a young adult who's developing a v/n for a college graduate who's doing this as a job/career after professional experience.
You can always tell the difference by, as you say, the seriousness of it all. Whomever is surprised by the usual delays when the updates are communicated in the form of a glorified recipe facebook post, I'm truly sorry for you, but you'll get in the end.
They should all learn from that new dev, cause that's the professional route, the best route, the only route.

Alright, so, few things:
Don't chalk up incompetence to maliciousness, they're bad at development but not being outright malicious about the circumstances. While they aren't doing well, its not out of a want to squeeze out such a paltry sum of money when if things were on a normal track they could've been at like 20k by now. It makes no sense whatsoever, from any point of logic.
I'm not here to defend how much of a trainwreck things have turned into, but I do feel that it will end, I don't know when but it will end. We can't all be the best devs, but then this still is nowhere near the worst devs, I've seen what the worst devs can actually do. This is a big black mark but that just means they're having some seriously shit performance, not that they've done a full 180 on their goals.
At the end of the day, indie game development is a fucking crap shoot, and I have faith we will see this period of time end and repairing the issue will come along at a gradual pace as trust is rebuilt. Be patient until that time if you could. Till next time!
Stay Ecchi!

if the game took 10 yeas be it fine but not updating or posting what needs to be done on patreon or discord is a problem
a year ago or months ago you weren't willing to accept that devs are showing incompetence all you did most of the time were trying to distract the player base by doing various polls about what people would want to have in a game which hasn't seen a proper update for like 1.5 years it's good to be positive and hope for the best but in a situation like this when devs are making false promises and what not it's clearly stupidity and masochism at best blue cat could easily give icestor a run for his money in terms of scummy devs practices and scamming the patrons this game could have been a good high rated game on this site but instead turned into a scamming fuck fest I hope blue cat enjoy his Japan trip the money for which he scammed of patrons.
It's barely been more than a year since the last story update. It's been less than a year since the last update because the holiday specials have always been a thing and they've always taken the place of regular updates. And maybe, just maybe, Skummy was sick of people bitching day in and day out about their exxagerated claims of delays and trying to put something positive into the thread. I'm pretty tired of the merge being delayed too but that doesn't mean I think the thread needs 100+ pages of dumbasses calling one of the largest games on this site a scam.
So if you are promised something and pay for it, then get strung along and stop getting progress updates why wouldn't you call it a scam? If they can't be bothered to post an official update on Discord and Patreon what evidence is there that they are actually working on the game? When is the last time they posted an image of new content?
Unless the dev actually states they have quit working on the game f95 won't tag it as abandoned. If everyone stops paying maybe they'll finally earn the money they have already received.

I will not defend BlueCat, if I were developing a game and ran into a similar snag I would have paused contributions and explained to the rest of the development team why that was happening. However, mismanagement is not a scam. Beyond that, the way all of these crowd funding things work is you are giving money to a person for them to do what they do, but you are not investing, you are donating. That is a huge difference. If you invest in something, you are not guaranteed a return but there are legal recourses when the thing you invested in was a scam. If you donate, the money is gone unless the crowd funding website wants to undo the transactions and they only do that when there is no product whatsoever and they are getting bad press. If people want to support this game, that's on them. Complaining here won't change anything; it won't dislodge patrons or make an update happen faster. I find the whole thing very sad.

I hope our German developers have escaped the worst effects of the flood.
That post belongs at the top of OP. Too bad I can only click "like" once.

Yeah, I have posted about the meaning of "patron" until my fingers are sore. Some get it, so don't.

What is there to explain? Patron mean we are their boss and he is our slave. Like, if I need a new lung, they have to provide theirs, right?

Nah, they've always been willing to point out BC has been incompetent, not malicious. And those polls were just for fun, not actual suggestions for what's going into the game.

I just hope the guy didn't pass all this time doing nothing but continued the story so when this merge is done we can move on fast.

I enjoyed this vn. Regardless of the timeline of development, After each week I looked forward to following the story. I found it highly confusing to understand what parts were needed - for example the 20-21DM update is actually 15-21 (I think). One thing done with this enjoyable material was the implementation of Dark Mind. Being able to isolate and configure what fetish/types of scenes was brilliant. Besides the fact it hides the 'incest' word that Patreon and everyone scans for patches and censorship, having configurability to the patch content was something I wish all Devs got in line and implemented. In that way, there would be a 'base' content, and a DM patch which you could separately enable at your choice.
I originally thought this was 4 weeks, read some from discord and patreon about the merging then obtained as much as I could and sorted it out.
Personally - I'd love to see the toys/machines come out of the storage room, and hope the dev begins in earnest to approach the 'awareness' of the harem about/to each other.
One last kudo's - on more than one occassion I literally laughed at my screen.
"You're simple minded"...
"NO I"M NOT!"
"pudding..." - that killed me. Will put this in my 'completed but waited for new content' folder.

They're currently working on a merge for the current three weeks, which will come with a bunch of bug fixes, new implemented mechanics and will be the only way to carry saves going forward due to all that. Unfortunately, they didn't realise how big a job that was so it's been taking a ridiculously long time. We don't actually have an estimated release date unfortunately.
Week 4 is on hold until that's done. It probably won't be too long after the merge is done if past output is anything to go by, for whatever that's worth. Probably going to be quite a wait though.
