I wouldn't go that far, the writing is all right what actually holds back the game is the slow progress which seems to come from when the coder decides they want to add some minigame which has no relevance to the game and ends up breaking it. What they need is at least one more person to help with the load.
It used to be minigames but this time the excuse is writer's block. Cbob has no self-control, he is his own worst enemy.

Hey. Writers block is not a joke. Sometime you spend all day with a blank page on your screen and can't get past it. Everything looks like shit and all you want to do is anything else but sit in front of the computer with no ideas.

Cbob is the only one setting the standard. He has plenty of time, his problem is clearly meeting "quality" standards imposed by himself. Nothing will ever get done with that mindset and it's unreasonable for him to put such pressure on himself. Again, I want to point out this a random porn game and the art is pulling the heavy load anyway. There exist porn novels for txt horny individuals.

No one is saying it's a joke but obviously we have to factor in the fact that coding is also their responsibility and if they had someone to help them with that it'd help things along. This idea has been suggested for years and it gets shot down or ignored. Why? I mean they make 20k a month for gods sake it's not like it'd bleed them dry. Do you not see how this looks? Ever since that long delay of 4 months a while back they've been taking their patrons patience and support for granted and whenever they know they won't make a deadline they themselves set they make some post about burnout to play the sympathy card and secure yet another month of payment.

Riddle me this then, if the coder is the main writer then how does my point about them hiring new help not make sense? Surely if they delegate coding responsibility to a new hire that frees up the current coder to write and takes off some of the pressure.
because the problem is not the coding. they would be hiring a new person just to stand around while the real problem is still stuck.
actual coding problems seem to have been minimal, as far as I am aware. we just assumed they are minigames because for a while it was not made clear cbob was also the main writer, so for some reason we took when he was mentioned as causing a delay that it was a code/minigame issue.

People always say "these forums are for discussing the game stop whining". Not realising that for starters they're also whining but also if there was actually something to discuss people would
I tried. It got burried by delay complaints. after we were given a new release date, that has not been reached yet.

The devs said the game was coming out last month since I liked the game I became a high tier patreon and nothing happened. If I wanted to throw away money I would have thrown it elsewhere.
But to be fair, they also said "hey, we fucked up with the time here, so if you want you can undo your patreon for now and give it elsewhere for a while, you'll still get the new stuff right away as if you still were".

This is not a professional book he is writing, this is porn game ffs. 95% of the reason this game is good is the art. For me, the writing is only there to tie things together and explain how I progress. I am frustrated because the thing holding back progress, is low importance filler.

If the artist left, the future of this game would instantly die. The coder/writer can be replaced. The artist made 2 halloween games all by himself and I enjoyed both mainly because of the art. His partner is nothing but a ball and chain at this point.
actually, it is the other way around at this point.
this is not just a training simulator like akabur's princess trainer or witch trainer. there are plenty of those around.
it is mostly a visual novel, at least on the love routes past book 1 (with some of it on the slave routes too). the writing is as important as the art, if not more - many visual novels get known with bad art and get a visual update later, this one just already starts with good art.

the developers said either the end of the month, or they should be just wrapping it up so the start of next. so either way expect a message about it around monday at most.

FriendlyBear12 I'm serious.
As just a trainer Book 1 was good enough, but afterwards, see how many people favor much more the later books, especially the love routes where the sex scenes are less in number but where story development is clearly the focus.
while everyone still loves the porn, marty's art is top notch (knotch? not a native english speaker), it is clear the interest of most playersis going more and more towards the story.
It slowly went from an excuse plot for the porn to a plot with porn spread out like a fine seasoning.

cbob himself said he is sending it back to marty really soon last time and should expect either at the end of the month or very early in december

by the way, don't really expect much content, but hope to be surprised in this.
the big hurdle here is cbob getting past the block. if he did it properly, just like in any breakthrough things should go much smoother afterwards on his front.

Cbob said at the beginning of October that the game was 80% ready, said at the end of October that the game would come out in the middle of November and is now saying that the game is coming out in 2 weeks?
Fool me that I like lol.

that's some valid there. i picked this game on some early stage, short after bk1 was finished, for both stories (plural) and art, gameplay was just #3 reason, it's Ren'Py so i knew what gameplay to expect. at least it's not some random VN like so many others, and i've seen worse Ren'Py works on the gameplay regard. so most of y'all came for the lewd? i didn't, to begin with. i saw some art screenshots, loaded the erly game, played them stories, liked it. still here.

why do some of you come here to complain? move on from the game if you think the creators dont meet "your schedule" of when releases should happen. there are what thousands of games on this site? pick a new one and go complain on that thread
You don't understand complaints on this thread, yet incite complaining on other threads? What kind of logic is that?
