Because a few days ago the Patreon number dropped by over 60 and since then a few people have resubbed.

Since the merge ain't happening and it has been forever since I have played this game, should I play the fanmade merge or go through all the trouble of downloading the official releases and their respective dark mind patches to freshen up on the story? Basically would the fanmade merge save be compatible IF the new update drops?

We really have no idea what's really going on so its really up to you, either wait and see or download what you want to try again.
I will not get reinvested in this game until at least 6 months worth of updates come out.
Because he didn't make enough money, not putting out any new content for two years while his patreon kept on ticking, to buy another monitor and computer? Purleaze.

~ $3,000 a month for almost two years should be anough to buy a pretty decent computer. And a couple pretty decent cars too. Nobody believes this excuse Skummy.
Fan made merge is literally just copy-pasting all the current weeks together plus some minor fixes so saves should be just as compatible either way which knowing this game means the saves won't be even remotely compatible even going from the official version. Plus there's already very few choices that have any actual effect anyway.
Wait, why in the hell are people claiming I'm making excuses? Bluecat has a higher end PC and normally two monitors, I'm just saying one monitor is busted atm and he doesn't currently have access to his main PC for whatever reason. You guys are being a bit odd and trying to connect dots that aren't there. Sometimes shit breaks, that's how life works.

Edit: Post was made before reading Skummy's post above. Seems I misinterpreted.
In one sentence you've made it extremely difficult for me to doubt that BC is perpetuating a scam. I mean, I never believed that he had been diligently working all this time... but with all the money he's brought in, if he hasn't been maintaining his workstation he must really not give a damn.

I need to just quit talking, you guys get very amped up about anything I say, I'll be back when there's update news I guess.

Regardless of any current "PC issues" so long as he access to the files, since his supposedly already done the hard work you can put it into renpy with potato pc so there should be zero reason an update doesn't come out this month. Unless his lying, of course.

[cynicism]Or setting up an excuse for the event that he does release something, but it's sub-par and casts doubt on the claim that the hard work had already been done.[/cynicism]
It isn't BlueCat's fault his computer and all backup files were sent to the Phantom zone.
I don't want to insult nor offense you. First of all it's nice to see how loyal you're as a friend and that you defend him. I can honor that.
But honestly: Everything new seems very suspisious. First we reach the 1.5 year without update and abandoned mark this or next month. "Suddenly" there will be an update this month. Then to lower the expectations because it seemed like a 1.5 year update/content, the content will only be that of an normal update. Sorry, but in my opinion this seems just like an "save my ass" move to avoid the abandoned tag, which will newer members keep away from this thread/game.
How is it possible to justify 1.5 years without a single update. I have zero experience with coding/programming, art renpy and all that stuff... but 1.5 years is a really long time. Give the failure of the merge, health probs, technical probs whatever.
Sorry, but it seems very coincidental how everything happened over last 1.5 years.
For me it just means that Bluecat followed the route like other Devs (Gumdropstyle) did. (Ok now I have Gangnamstyle as a catchy tune).
How can you still believe him, after all that happened in the last 1.5 years. Yes I know, that he's your friend... but it's a fact that nothing happened/updated for 1.5 years. I'm just asking because I'm curious

I can't fault the suspicion, but I think concluding the promised update is due to the impending abandoned tag is confusing correlation with causation. Aside from a bit of speculative discussion in early Feb, AFAICT the 18 month cut-off wasn't widely discussed until after Skummy announced the plans for an April release. The decision to go with MTL is a more reasonable explanation for the "suddenness" of the promised update IMO.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that MTL was a massive step in getting things moving, now that things have gotten moving.

If we don't see the update or at least a release date on maximum May, I'll considered Ecchi Sensei abandoned, BlueCat not a scammer (Because we have a big part of a incomplete game) but a lier and there will not be reason to talk about the game or the dev anymore.
BC not gonna recover the numbers that lost these months, not until more updates with quallity, content and made in short time.

And what he can't buy a new monitor with all that monthly patreon money, hell a decent 1080p screen is 200 maybe 300 and he could even go 2nd hand.
Tbh this game has gone the same way multiple high supporter games have gone, the dev sees all the easy money and instead of keeping up the decent and timely updates, they start to slow down the updates and decrease the size of them and most of the time the quality also takes a nosedive to milk as much money out of their supporters as possible.
Summertime saga, taffy tales and a few other high supporter games have been doing this where instead of them putting out their updates every few weeks its not around 3 to 6 months at average for the same content normally was added in a few weeks and the content tends to be lower quality as well.
Hell i fully expect this game to pull a breeding season and break up due to the absolute mismanagement that happened over the last 2 years and then the dev will just start another similar shittier project to milk even more money.
There is no excuse for the dev that he has done absolute fuck all for the last 2 years.
