Well it's more then rewriting the story. Some of the story is likely being smoothed over as changes do happen into development, especially one that includes lots of character additions like Ecchi Sensei. It includes fixing any small grammer and visual errors that slipped past the first time through, removing the errors that built up the further into the week you get, etc. Plus lots of new sound effects did take up a lot of time but most of those sound effects are likely to cover the rest of the game development by Bluecats estimate. There is likely some more stuff I'm forgetting atm but overall it sounds important and necessary.

Plus the practice with this will likely help building more skill with Renpy to improve it even further, even if it is a high bar already.

The script files are getting a huge rework, the number of variables gets reduced by several hundreds, and the game is now coming out in both German and English, meaning that not only Blue has to write German script for the parts for which I don't have the German originals saved anywhere, I also need to proofread the German script (which unfortunately is a ton of work) and then translate it all from scratch
Super time consuming since there's a limit to how much I can type in a given length of time - it's a very high limit but it's still finite

The dual language release was the part I'd forgotten cheers for that. Honestly with all the work going into this I'm simply glad it's just July that it's being released as many over developers would take much longer, pretty sure that just this work can make up much of a first university year at least if I remember it all correctly.

So, i don't know if this has been brought up before, but there are a lot of replies here, i've only gotten to day 4 and i thought i'd start over with what i know before advancing to check out the other half of the options, small problem, the game isn't considering compatible any save from the first 2 days to the second, and yes, i have gone through all the choices, so i thought, ok, it's bad, but i'll just re-download, maybe it'll work... thing is, not only did it not, my saves are somehow still there, despite the fact that i deleted both episodes before re-downloading, other than the mistery, any idea how i can make a new "route"?

I'm as anxious as everyone to play some new content, but I am happy the dev is taking the time to fix the game.

It seems as if 30-40% of comments in this thread are about errors. The game is broken.

If is going to take someone multiple months just to fix all the errors and have a stable code base. You have to make that decision. Especially when you are only 1/52 through your planned content. Otherwise you will have a mess on your hands that will take extra time every single update troubleshooting.

Blue cat put out 7 large episodes and multiple specials in 9 months. For some devs that is 2 years worth of content. Once this is finished, I am sure the new content will come quickly.

at the other hand, that some devs got way better image quality that take more time.
i wish this game would get a bit better image quality aswell alongside those bug fixes.
but i think that's to much to ask for that lots of images.
This game was always more quantity as quality, that was his strenght.

BlueCat's images have noticeably improved in quality over the 7 day's releases, and part of this first week build is updated images for the early days along with some rewriting of the dialogue. I think it's safe to say quality on all aspects will improve over time, and hopefully carry over into the great neko's next project.

RenPy does not only save the save files in the "local" game folder, it saves it additionally in another directory under ...\roaming\RenPy\... , so saves stay even if a game gets deleted for a reason.
(useful for RenPy games in which any previous saves are still compatible and you want to get back to an earlier one without moving the save files)

My intention as I created Ecchi Sensei was simple: A combination between japanese and western visual novels.

You mean a combination between weebish and western. But hey, nothing wrong about that. I sometimes run out of my apartment with a waffle toast in my mouth without any reasons, since I drive with a car.

Yep, and him and his team are also building strong foundations regarding the script as well. Foundations that will carry on into the future development of the game. And this not just me saying this, Blue posted this in his weekly status updates for us supporters on Patreon. This is exciting for me, because these foundations will only benefit everyone in the long run.

Thank you so much! I tried a few things and nothing worked and looking at several pages in the past, I just couldn't find anything to resolve this. Plus the front page on day 2 tab list instructions that load a page with no directions. You made my day. ^^
