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

[RandoCard3]

You are as wise as you are good at memes.
Btw wasn’t around for it when it happened but what’s the consensus on why Blue just stopped posting updates back in 2020? Just bad work ethic/got lazy and realized he could make 3k a month doing nothing from home like all those internet ads promise?

According to him, he felt it was pointless as he was pretty much saying the same thing over and over. Which, I get, cause everyone was saying the same thing too.

I requested from him recently, that he give more detailed and technical updates, but he said he wanted to keep it simple so we didn't get confused. When I pushed him on it still being the better route to take, he got really defensive. I don't think he actually wants feed back.

Its a simple equation.

How many of us would accept £2-3K pcm (less Patreon cut), to do or produce nothing? Let your own conscious and answer guide your views on whether this is now incompetence, or a scam (sorry Skummy, I know your previous views have been in support of the former). To the supporters still, a fool and his money is easily parted.

My disappointment now, is at THIS site, not understanding whats going on or doing anything to mark the thread appropriately. Forums are where people actively engage in lively debate in differing opinions, but this is beyond that, its an ongoing shitshow that produces far too much serious upset. To hell with Patreon and the others. But, I'm not a mod.

Yeah that tracks, unfortunately. At least if he said the same thing over and over we’d have less to complain about. Idk why he’d have a legit reason to not give detailed/technical updates since he’s not actively releasing content for years
If you’re still a supporter do you know what his most recent updates have said? Is there any kind of percentage mentioned or nothing that helpful?

NO! There has been NOTHING about percentages, how much is done, or how much is left since the very fucking beginning. The ONLY damn thing has been a gitlab that shows that Latecomer is "working". Last time I saw it had not been updated in 3 weeks. Probably still hasn't.

If you want to find out about recent updates, search the thread for a guy named Skummy Ecchi. He has posted all updates since the beginning. Click his name, go to postings. You'll find everything.

 

[xLeviathan]

Hurry the fuck up and play it so your bad luck will happen and they release it.

Lmfao. I wish, started playing and still no update, guess my curse has been lifted

Same thing happened to me at the start of 2020. I was playing one of the new releases at the time, then my computer crashed. I don't tend to backup my porn folders so lost my save and didn't feel like starting over at the time. A few months later I saw they were working on a merge so I just waited. Still waiting because if this merge ever comes out I'll be needing to restart it anyway. That's best case scenario. If this game is dead then I also don't want to restart it just to see the last few days of a game that's never going to get another installment.

Best case scenario: This gets updated this year. When? No clue, if i had to guess ill say in the next 6 months. (Its legit following the same steps as Waifu Academy )
Worst case scenario: Game marked as abandoned and we move on, it was a good game, sad to put it into the list

With the knowledge that I could rake in triple or more by essentially working part time on a passion project? I wouldn't.

Lol that seems like literally the least he could do-like even unchanging/decreasing percentages would be something at this point

His reason was:

Blue Cat:
it is nice if you understand coding at least a little bit. most of the patrons have no idea about
and whenever it goes too deep into coding, i'm out too.
so i'm not gonna explain in depth all pieces of coding because i for myself have no idea

Me:
Do you need to be the one to write it up though?

As for people not understanding. I don't think it would be that big of an issue. Most of what Latecomer said was simple enough to understand, and the stuff that wasn't, was translated by the few who did know about coding. Even ignoring the forum, this Discord server has plenty of people who I'm sure would be willing to help out anyone who didn't understand.

As is, most of the status updates feel bare of any substantial information, which is a big source of people's frustration.

Blue Cat:
who else should write status reports jimmy?

latecomer? he is busy with month 1

Not a supporter, but his recent updates have said barely anything. That's the annoying thing. "It's not done, but we're still working on it" etc. His latest one tried to act like it was given us new info, with the announcement that there will be no merges until the 6 month mark, but we knew that already. That was what made me ask him on Patreon for something so substantial.

We did get confirmation that "Plan B" that was alluded to when he set the last deadline is canning the merge and moving on with the new content. So, if this isn't bullshit, then we're moving onto Day 22+, but, according to Skummy, with none of the new mechanics or fixes that were to be introduced the merge. I have mixed feelings on this tbh

The game started in 2018 and it looked a tiny bit outdated even then. We are now in 2022 and
as we can assume the developer likes them young and fresh, this is what the game is now:

So in other words it’s very possible he’s done almost literally nothing since 2020?

Almost certainly

It makes no sense. If they'd even done half of the work, I doubt they'd throw it away entirely. Unless it was bad work. In which case, they weren't capable of completing the merge in the first place

And even if they had to start from scratch with a new coder, surely they should do that and complete the merge instead of letting the past (Too many months to count) be worthless and letting the game remain broken

But what makes less sense is why latecomer is still listed as the Ecchi Manager. When they're apparently not on the team anymore. We haven't seen one change from the past year except for words and statements. Not even the slightest indication of what anyone is doing. Except for the gitlab, which now isn't even being used, and ended up telling us nothing anyway

 

[crypto]

Tbh I don't even remember the content of the game anymore (probably played 2-3 years ago), just that you get to fuck your family and students and that I enjoyed it

You remember that much?
All I remember is that "Ecchi" translates to sexy, so the game is literally called Sexy Teacher.

Almost certainly

I'd rather they just start from scratch and build up what the merge was supposed to be, as slapping tape onto the original jank clearly wasn't working. They've proven that they can get content that's is built from scratch out the door in a timely manner, at least. By moving onto Day 22+, it feels like they're just delaying the need to do something until it becomes even more work.

But then, I'm a compulsive restarter in games, so this could just be that affecting my judgement lol

It's just that, from my admittedly non-coder perspective, it feels like that's the best way to get that strong foundation you want.

Edit: As for LAtecomer, he's still in the Discord, so I'm not sure what's happening.

Don't wonder about Latecomer. Skummy will show up later, tell us to shut the fuck up about Latecomer and the merge, proceed to tell us how Bluecat is hard at work, then ask us about who's tits are the best. Just be patient. He'll give us all the info we need to solve this wonderment.

Click on lewdpatcher, click on show previous versions, scroll to bottom. Day 20-21 final is week 3.

Ecchi in this context translates to perverted. Perverted teacher is what he is.

 

[Armnorn]

Another thing that rubs me the wrong way is that BC basically only updates his very high tier patreons. Everybody else just gets a "working on it" in a few more words every 3 months or so. Apparently everybody giving him less than like 50 quid a month are not worth talking to.

Like I get why he doesn't talk to the people in this forum. I disagree with it strongly. But I can see where he is coming from. But to also keep the people in the dark that do pay him is a bit of a dick move. Like the last update the "normal" (as in not paying more money to him than a Netflix subscribtion costs) patreon supporters got, was also in december where it was basically "yeah the merge is being worked on".

And he is asking 4,50€ to even get that much. So basically he is asking 15€, if you keep pleding, to be told every 3 months: "working on it".

It is pretty sad. Also the main reason I stopped supporting like a year ago. Again sometimes stuff spirals out of control. Shit happens. As I have said before. But holy shit fix your communication BlueCat. If not to us "freeloaders and pirates" then maybe at least to the people that pay you. Even if it isn't the cost of a AAA video game every month

 

[layer1avn]

But holy shit fix your communication BlueCat.

It's probably too late to make much of a difference, but regular, official and public status updates would have kept more good will, trust and money than this nightmare limbo scenario we're in. At this point, the only thing that's gonna work is actual progress.
