I've played this from the beginning. The story focused on Melonie, the twins and the wanna be actress had some, and the secretary was nil...80% Mel/Tiff, 20% rest.
Then he took nearly a year to re-do the game, leaving Mel/Tiff about the same, and focused on the others instead. The story was to focus on revenge on Mel, but the Dev felt the story he had in mind was too dark, so he decided to focus on the other characters, while he tried to make up his mind on what he wanted to do with the Mel story path.
So yea, the other girls to me are side characters that are being used to fill in the gaps while the Dev decides what he wants to do with the main story path. ;)

This "game" is a pre-alpha whatever...is like 10% completed or less...so talking about "the beginning" is pointless

the problem isn't this one problem - but that this will inevitably become standard practice and continue to effect the game until its eventually abandonment.

When this next update does come out in the following month - the next update won't come out in 2 weeks like most good developers (NLT) it will take equally long - one update per 4 months.

No one minds a problem but no one like a scape goat and a person who can't work around a problem - like....releasing the game in one language he has the text for rather than both.

It's a red flag for anyone supporting.

How much content is in this game so far? From the changelog it seems it has some stuff, but in practical terms it might mean very little

It pretty much amazes me that devs, or people in general, dont realise that being silent is worse than abandoning.

It's like a relationship where one knows that it pretty much ended, but stays silent about it, so the other doesnt move on and just has her/his soul dragged on mindlessly to oblivion by a fickle of imaginative hope.

according to his

, We just rececived our 10th extension(deadline or guessing of the release date) and this makes the time we waited, 7.67 times the first durage of time we're told(only if it releasas at 25th of june). So, when we receive a guess for the release date of new update just multiply it by 7.67 and wait.

What's ridiculous about Enyo's estimates of release date is that from the day he received the translation on June 4 to the latest planned release date on June 25, that's a full 3 weeks just for integrating the translation into the game. Yet he was adamant at the time of the last release that a whole new release can be done in 3 weeks time.

On top of that, playing around with words like "not calling it a deadline anymore" to get around the problem of consistently and wildly over-estimating his ability, and always not making the release date, is just a totally underhanded tactic to not take responsibility. The problem isn't the long development cycle for a release. Virtually all the best games have months-long development cycles between releases these days. The problem is clinging on to the delusion of being capable of a short development cycle, but then constantly come up with "sorry, missed the release date because of <insert the latest excuse reason>", and not just by a little but by months.

It is his game and he can do whatever he wants. But the way he is reacting everytime with silly things like soon very soon trying to keep trying to improve my speed this and that etc, sounds very unprofessional and childish.
