You obviously didn't take my advice and read back a few pages, did you? Or you would have seen how hard I was on Enyo for missing the dates, or the actual constructive criticism & suggestions I've made instead of just negatively blabbing about and comparing him to the worst of the milkers while adding zero value to the discussion.
OK, forget what I said about ICSTOR, I didn't mean that Enyo is a milker. What i don't understand is how can you think (and tell people) the update will be ready on Feb 15 when, in the light of things, after another 3 months of work it's not ready yet. I truly don't understand it. Maybe he really really really underestimates the amount of work
I know it was just wishful thinking because he has the story and characters ready, he only needs a steady development cicle.
It's kinda spoiler so I can't say it right now
Thank you for your feedback.
Yes, I said no more delays and I stopped saying any dates of releases. Now I got them back, so delays are back too
Yeah, the life is a circus.
But I'm really trying to create the update as fast as possible every time. Still, than deadline are coming, everything goes to the shithole direction. So right now i'm experimenting with my workflow, planning and other stuff. But it somehow doesn't work
Yep, I agree. My planning absolutely suck, but I'll do my best this time and will try not to miss the deadline!
Yes, it's absolutely reasonable. But actually, I always think that if I'd be super-duper-amazingly hard working then I'd be able to release the update on time. But then the dealine is coming to an end I'm like: "Fuck, I forgot to do this and that, so I had to delay once again."
"I'd prefer if you didn't promise anything in terms of when a release was going to occur. Instead, just tease new content (by showing some renders early) and give us some updates on your progress without actually saying when it will be released."
You're absolutely right about this too. Maybe I really should do it like this. It would be a good thing to do. But for me is far more important to release the game as fast as possible than not to make a delay, so I'll continue to make super short deadlines and bust my ass, trying not to fuck them up. Yes, it's not fair to the people, but it helps me to work faster and improve myself. The more fucked up deadlines I give myself, the faster the game releases.
Hi! Thank you for your kind words and advice.
For me it is far more important to release the update earlier than not to fuck up the release date that I set. And I think it is more important for players too. That's why I choose not to give myself "breathing space".
P.S. I know that this strategy is really bad,and I understand that it is not right towards people who is waiting for the game. But for now this strategy is working for me and helping me to improve my consistency.

Hi! 3 days left before the end of the deadline. And... I didn't have time to finish the update. Yep, again, I know.
Here is the quick update on the progress of development:
1) All new events are almost written (on 80%).
2) I didn't send anything to translate yet.
3) I didn't finish writing events, thus didn't finish all pictures. I made about 40% of them, render about 5%.
So what's left to do?
-Finish all pictures and render everything.
-Translate and edit everything.
-Code everything.
I didn't slack off this time. It's just miscalculation!New events turned out hu-uge, and they are really awesome. So I'm just enjoying them and stopped hurrying with them at all, trying to bring the best quality!
So I think I'll be able to release the game only by the end of this month and it will be around 27 February.
Yep, that's not very exciting news, I know, but for now you can leave angry comments or give your encouragement. Everything is allowed.
Thank you! Yep... More frequent updates would be awesome.

I also thought about this. Initially, I have a plan that if I'm not ready to release full update in 3 weeks then I stop doing what I'm doing at the moment and just release what I already had time to do. But every time when 3 weeks are past I see that I need just a bit more and I can finish a couple more events. So I take another week or so. Then I finish it, I realize that I was doing the update 1,5 month and I just have 3 events ready and I understand that now it too small for such amount of time spent and I don't have guts to release it. That's why I'm thinking: "I already delayed the update, so I can delay the update on another week or so but try to create more content." And this vicious cycle keeps going...
Yep. I agree with you on 100%. I can't add anything to this.
Yeah, my deadlines became a joke now.
Yeah, I am sure you will stick to your schedule in the future.
well there is only one way to silence the doubters,release what you have when you say you will or dont give a deadline and release when your ready.i played your game early on and loved it but as a long time supporter of saddog i now look for devs who regularly update(at least your talking unlike saddog) before i consider support.i hope that with regular updates your support will grow and false hero becomes the master piece it deserves so best wishes going forward

Like, we had all this before. Doubters, haters, blah blah. Victim mentality. Me against all others. White Knight vs. Bad People.You're absolutely right about this too. Maybe I really should do it like this. It would be a good thing to do.

IS IT REALLY?! My native is Russian and I do freelance translation. I don't care about money. Enyo, I'll translate a part of your shit, free of charge. Я могу переводить 700-1000 слов в день. Бесплатно!
Yeah, I got no problem editorializing it. It's actually easier and more fun that way.Based on what Enyo said about his difficulties with finding a "quality" translator, I am guessing he wants someone who will do more than just Russian (or whatever his main language is) -> English. Reading between the lines here, but maybe it is about giving the dialogue a certain feel and depth. If the translator is an avid F95 member, that would certainly help with achieving the standard he is looking for.
