If you look at the op the game is divided by weeks, each week is it's individual game. The purpose of the merge is to put all 3 weeks into a single game. It was sold to the supporters as something that would be done relatively quick but here we are 14 months after the last update and we still don't have anything.Since I haven't kept up with all the drama etc, can anyone explain to me what is actually being merged here?
Ok, you're devolving into jibberish about Apollo 1, which I'm just going to ignore. A few things I will answer though:So you agree that the tags are wrong. And yet you're triggered about people who complain about the way this game is tagged, even though you agree with those people
That's comical
Comedy gold
I guess when you've still got to blindly defend the game, all logic goes out the window
Nobody will protest against the rules to the forum mods. Because it would be a waste of time. It's like complaining to any business in the history of making complaints. Nothing happens
It's why nobody has enough care in them to do it. Especially for a dead game
I don't personally care how its tagged. It has been on hold for 18 months. No site requirement will change that
The most work that's been done on this game was the guy 2 days ago that posted his own merge. It says it all
Long story short, people can complain about the game, on the thread for the game. Unless you want them to jump to Wikipedia and start venting there instead. We should go to the Apollo 1 page and start ranting about bluecat and his delusional PR boy in the history section. And that Ecchi Sensei isn't tagged properly. That makes sense
Except it doesn't. Unless complaints about an 18 month delay is a bannable offence now, people will continue to do it
And people will complain about the dumb tag on this game, too. That's their right. And you won't stop that

For brevity and the sake of my own sanity, I'm just going to quote myself here.If you look at the op the game is divided by weeks, each week is it's individual game.

This is the problem with so many dumbasses complaining in the thread and calling Bluecat a scammer, people are now genuinely misinformed. The merger was never about putting all 3 weeks into one download, that was just an added perk to doing it. The point of the merger was to fix the many broken mechanics of the game and set up a solid foundation for future updates so that choices could actually matter. Right now your choices don't mean shit for subsequent releases, and there's the looming threat of features like the phone causing game breaking bugs.
I never said he was a scammer, in fact I have a post just one page back, saying that I don't think they are trying to scam their supporters, but if they are not trying to scam it just means they are really bad at their job.For brevity and the sake of my own sanity, I'm just going to quote myself here.
If you think about that though, there has been bugger all progress for a year and only dropped 39% of their revenue. What incentive is there for them to do anything? I wish I had a job like that (outside of government).Even if the game doesn't get the abandoned tag, I think it won't take that much time until it's dead. The game in the last year has lost 25% of it's patrons and the revenue dropped by 39%.
I don't know man if I lost 39% of my revenue in just one year I would freak the fuck out. I still don't think they are doing this purposely, they were releasing frequent updates before they started working on the merge. I don't like to talk shit about devs' work but I think this is just a case of them being bad at their job.If you think about that though, there has been bugger all progress for a year and only dropped 39% of their revenue.

I was being sarcastic. I guess that went over your head though. I'm not surprised. What you're complaining about is really dumb. And when people do dumb things, I like to laugh about itOk, you're devolving into jibberish about Apollo 1, which I'm just going to ignore. A few things I will answer though:
- I've never defended the game and how it's handled this merge. It's a shit show and it's dev team is a collection of baffoons.
- I never said people can't complain. I said shit or get off the pot. I actively encourage anyone who cares to solve their complaints, as there is a potential solution right there. If you're not going to follow through on it though, then you're just part of the problem. If you actively choose not to solve the problem you're complaining about, what are you even complaining about? It's like complaining about being hungry, but refusing to eat the apple on the table, cause it's too far away.
- But seriously, what the fuck are you talking about? You sound insane. What the fuck does Apollo 1 or Wikipedia have to do with anything?
Wasn't talking about Kotori. One the last scenes of the game. Matsu's sister shows up with a girl, who is supposed to be his niece. But the eyes are covered up. Because spoilers I guess. But in the past Matsu raped his sister. But she was into it, so maybe it was only half rape. Matsu family is fucked up....anyway. Matsu's sister's daughter is most likely not Matsu's niece but his daughter with his sister. a product of one of his nightly exploratory sex sister rapes. And yes. I kinda forgot about that. But yeah Fuyu might be related too. Matsu got around even in the past.i'm not counting the whole "in the past" stuff (unless it relates to the gang member chic he fucked when he was a teen, who IIRC is Fuyu's mom, which makes Fuyu his daughter. n who said anything about a niece? Kotori is his wife's sister)
I don't think they care too much about the revenue even though it's counter productive to his goal of living in Japan, he should really care but considering how infrequent and further away their patreon posts became after the merge started he mustn't care that much or we'd see more regular posts and assuring content in them.I don't know man if I lost 39% of my revenue in just one year I would freak the fuck out.

Maybe they should just start over. Not ideal, but it seems like the best option. Maybe even hire an animator and someone to make unique character models. Though that's probably just wishful thinking on my part.It looks like a lack of proper (or any) planning and good leadership (in the team) to me.
Although I think there would be a new version. It definitely could and should've come out faster.
Looking at the early code, it seems like it was frankensteined together. I think they had problems while un-engineering it and 'fixing it' and kept falling into the traps of their unrealistic promises making a cycle of missing deadlines.
Maybe they did start over at some point? And that would be faster than trying to fix it.Maybe they should start over. Not ideal, but it seems like the best option. Maybe even hire an animator and someone to make unique character models. Though that's probably just wishful thinking on my part.
So if kotori is hiroko's sister and we go along with the theory mao is from hiroko's father that makes kotori both mao's aunt and half sister.
