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

[FakeProphecy]

Hey Guys. Is there something I missed? Been downloading all these files... Now on Week 3 I see by description it says that this is DAY 15-21 - right? Alright, so I downloaded the one from MEGA which is named "EcchiSensei-D20+21v1.0-FINAL". Right?
So my question is, where is Day 15-19? I am familiar with this stuff, but when I am launching the Week 3it stands clearly that this is D20+D21. I have downloaded the DARK MIND patch which gives you the option to download each of these days separate. I patched each and one of these DARK MIND (Day 15-17 -> 18-19 -> 20-21) and I started chronologically. Likely, this could be a common question. If that is the case please don't go full attack, just point me in the direction would you please. Thanks in advance - you guys rock!

Week 1 is the only one named properly, 20+21 is all of Week 3, 15-19 included already buddy

With a little basic math, it's not too hard to get the exact value. I am not sure who Bluecat things he is fooling. Right on the front page of his Patreon it says 53% complete to his goal of $5000 a month.

Hmm. $5,000 * .53 = $2,650.

Uh, did he suddenly lose a lot of people? It's now 39% on that 5k goal, 79% to that goal of 2.5k

Where are you looking at?

 

[ryyyn73]

Interesting.
I'm seeing 58%:

 

[rentintin]

man this whole thing is just a fucking scam hahaha

 

[Skummy Ecchi]

You guys are weirdos sometimes

 

[HansDampf788]

It's pretty sad to see his income decrease at the rate it has been decreasing since the game is really good in my opinion.

No, it is not. It should have been much faster, maybe then he would have actually done something to save this game earlier and not only after almost 2 years of doing nothing.

I feel personally insulted. Some of us are weirdos all the time.

It is kind of weird how upset people are about others who choose to continue paying BlueCat. It's the same with Summertime Saga, Waifu Academy, AWAD etc. Even Teraurge, which has $1 and $4 Patreon subscription levels and is done entirely as a passion project. It's outrage porn about porn games.

Granted, some of those criticisms are entirely justified. ES lingering in limbo until the month it gets the Abandoned tag looks especially shady even considering the justifiable delays caused by life events. You're not going to 'win' any argument or mitigate criticism in a meaningful way unless we see continued, real progress in this game. Frankly I don't even know why you try. BlueCat apparently doesn't like F95 to begin with, so why would he care if the feeling is mutual?

I don't think they're upset at others paying - after all, any fool can choose where they spend their hard earned. I think the upset, is that many people have discovered ES ( and other games) through this forum, and continue to do so, and the lack of abandoned tag may mislead people to support.

As for BC not liking this forum anyway, I believe whilst his dislike is because we don't arse lick or pander to him (well, the majority of us anyway), nevertheless he knows this forum does his advertising for him - so he has to care, in a way.

justifiable delays caused by life events.

Not being an ass, but name one delay, not the health of Latecomer, that is justifiable. The health issue might have been real, who knows, I don't, but after that it was excuses or Bluecat was beating around the real issue and speaking a bunch of nonsense to make it look important.

BlueCat apparently doesn't like F95

He likes the website, hates the people. The website gives him advertising.

 

[Oper4tor]

Damn, I liked this game back in the day, with all the sideplots and story elements it was really interesting. Shame that developement halted.

 

[Redyscom]

One thing is working on a big update with lots of change/content and don't receive new updates because that, like SummerTime and his Tech Update (Is at least over 50% - 60%) but other thing is merge parts and take almost 2 years without relevant news or sneakpecks, he just excuse about the lack of any information.

I don't care if BlueCat hate us or not, when people search about porn game normally they find F95, click on a game and (at least me) go to the comments, what they read about EcchiSensei? Scam, Abandoned and shit like that, no one will play that game and less pay for it.

 

[Skummy Ecchi]

Eh once content restarts it will probably bounce back to relative numbers, probably not nearly as good as peak performances but decent.

I know you're a pr puppet, skummy. But people aren't as craven as you think. You've pretended that work was being done for two years, when it wasn't. You've continuously lied, and then when it's clear to everyone you've lied, you pretend you had good intentions and that you thought it was true. And you repeat it. And you repeat again. You are a serial liar

Besides that, the only selling point of this game was the 'questionable' content that's included in it. That is what made it popular. Now there's a wave of similar games that are longer, have competent developers, and don't have potato graphics like this one does. People aren't going to flock back to bluecat after one lousy, money driven update. Not everyone is you

And unless the abandoned tag truly terrifies bluecat, there will be no update. There will never be a merge, and the game is finished. Bluecat is not your friend, you're his customer. Anything you say is meaningless, as has been proven for two years now

I haven't been following this thread at all. So has it been confirmed that Bluecat was lying all this time and he hasn't been working on the game? Not even skummy is defending bluecat as strongly as he used to.

One swallow doesn't make a spring. one update in a year and a half isn't gonna make anyone with a braincell to spare suddenly go "oh it's back to normal". The majority will wait to see how consistent the Dev is. You'll get those with more money than sense sign up but the world's on its arse right now. Prices are up across the board, not everyone's got the spare liquid capital to throw at stuff like this now. Especially at a dev who has shown he'll rip the arse out of it for as long as he can

How does the phrase go? If you think everyone you meet is a cunt then chances are it's you

There has been no such confirmation. Skummy says an update (new content) will be released this month. Should that fail to happen, the thread may or may not be marked abandoned at the end of the month due to 1.5 years having passed since last release.

Bluecat putting 2 years worth of content into a months worth of work? If he manages to pull it off, IF, then he will have proven that every excuse for the past 2 years has been a huge pile of bullshit.

Personally I think no conclusions can be made until (unless) the release comes. If he has been telling the truth, pretty much everything but the translation has been long completed. If the release is consistent (in quality/tone*/size) with past releases, IMO it will suggest he was telling the truth. If it's not consistent, it will suggest he was lying. Unfortunately, that's not exactly an objective metric so it probably won't change any minds. At least, not thase that have already been made up...

* I'm sure there's a better word for it, but IMO if BC really went so long since writing, the "tone" will almost inevitably be very different.
