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.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.
I feel personally insulted. Some of us are weirdos all the time.You guys are weirdos sometimes
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.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?
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.justifiable delays caused by life events.
He likes the website, hates the people. The website gives him advertising.BlueCat apparently doesn't like F95
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.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
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 canEh once content restarts it will probably bounce back to relative numbers, probably not nearly as good as peak performances but decent.
How does the phrase go? If you think everyone you meet is a cunt then chances are it's youHe likes the website, hates the people. The website gives him advertising.
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.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.
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...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.
Man fucks everything with a pulse.I don't really remember much of the story
No. Not because of revenue loss. Bluecat didn't lose money overnight, it has been steadily dropping since the end of 2020. Just check graphtreon. If he was that worried over revenue loss we would have seen new content last year. As many people here have claimed, it seems that when the abandoned tag was mentioned Bluecat started working on putting out content.new content is being rushed in order to avoid more losses in revenue.
It won't. Skummy already confirmed it will be a normal update, so days 21-22.new content will probably not justify the almost 2 years of no updates.
Not sure why 3 of us are seeing 3 different numbers. Chucked it in a proxy and apparently patreon displays different % depending on where it thinks you are, lol. Must be a site bug I guess but that's pretty weird either way.Where are you looking at? View attachment 1739756
Because a few days ago the Patreon number dropped by over 60 and since then a few people have resubbed.Not sure why 3 of us are seeing 3 different numbers.
