this is what I get when I try to turn the snake wheel in the cave that toph sends you to
huh whenever I get something like this i like to roll back a little and see if the game fixes itself, if not then maybe redownload the game?
Any news ?
The coder did say he was planning on squeezing every inch out of this month so I wouldn't expect anything till at least tomorrow.

Except the promise is established by their Patreon. They keep up the illusion of a monthly release but be sure to keep evading any questions on it. Show me one post they made where they said they would not be doing monthly releases. They don't. Instead when it comes time for the release to happen they start making posts like "oh you know the coder feels kinda sick". Defend them all you want but don't bother lying to me I've been here since their first release. They even made a post the other day where he says the coder knows that the end of the month is coming and he'll use every last moment of it, that clearly means even they're aware people are waiting for a release this month and they know they have to make a release this month because that's what they promised and like I said, their promises don't mean much.
My thing with this is, just don’t make such promises if it’s a bit unfeasible to expect an exact date for creating a bunch of hand drawn assets and coding all of those things when a bunch of factors could come in? Fine.

Just say that. You can say what your plans are, and be as transparent, or not, with your progress. You don’t really need to make promises.

I think most people here get that your plans for creating a porn game aren’t some unbreakable blood oath or some shit. Most reasonable people anyway. The update will be out when It is out.

There’s also the extent to which it’s reasonable for us to be disgruntled. If you’re a paying customer, and the guys are unreliable or lazy about it you have a legit grievance.

It’s just...be reasonable. That’s the rule. For all this. One can be annoyed, but have realistic expectations. As a creator, probably good to stick to plans and you do have a responsibility to people supporting you. Just keep things realistic.

Even if the OP was uodated with the release plans, you’d robaboy still have people asking those questions though. It’s inevitable

The discomfort is only caused by the person's moral level or the inability to understand that it is a fictional universe like GTA.
Some people are uncomfortable with the tentacles.
Others for sex with jinora and Toph.
Others for incest.
Others for the rapes.
Others for gay sex.

It depends, it depends a lot, particularly the only thing that made me a little uncomfortable in the whole game, was sex with the crying korra.
gay sex (male on male) is where i draw the line, the rest is free game

Everyone has the right to criticise them and their practices. When they first released on /aco/ everyone was amazed with the quality they delivered and they promised to do monthly releases from then on which they kept to if not at times a couple days late which was fine. However, then the massive 4 month break happened, and people let them off because it happened after they had been consistently delivering quality content for a while, but they were still getting paid by their Patreon and when they realised that they could delay it and still make a ridiculous amount of money by just posting updates like "the coder broke his toe on the way to the market and got corona from a puddle" is when it gets infuriating. They've made it a habit and instead of listening to people's advice they just keep stringing us along with these half baked stories. The problem always seems to be the coder and how he always tries to add something "big" but "may break the game" so people tell them to use the money they get from Patreon to hire a new coder and instead they spout a million excuses on how that wouldn't work. It's a problem they've created and any excuse they make is irrelevant as long as they continue on like this while refusing to change.

Artist here! There is no way cbob can finish the build today. He's going to have to dip into June. And I'm not sure how deep his dip will be.

I really, reaaaallly hate that. In fact I hate it so much that I've quit working on the love route since a couple of days(?) ago and just took a chunk of the current build which wasn't finished yet and basically claimed ownership over it. I told the coder I'll work on that while he takes care of the other parts. It's the only way I can help speed this whole thing up and not let it take longer than it has to be. It's slightly more dangerous bug-wise, but luckily I'm not without experience because of the Halloween side story etc so I'm feeling reasonably confident.

So I'm here to tell you about that and also that we'll do another one of those "mass pm "-things. Besides the normal way, we'll also send you the links to the build(once it's finished) according to your current patron tier through a private message.

I just want to make certain you'll get what we said you would get as soon as we can finish it, without you having to stay a patron or remaining at your current tier level. And that goes twice for people in one of the higher tiers! If anything is the source for my dislikes of us being late it's that.

So yeah, I'm currently working on speeding up work on the build, which is why I have nothing to dress up this post with in ways of images. It's all boring text!!!! But I am adding some extra sexy/funny insanity to the build itself which otherwise would never have made it in.

I'll ask Cbob if he wants to add anything to this later. But this is the core of what we want you to know right now.

Okay, back to the grinding stone!

Well, for those who said that an update would not be released this month, congratulations, you got it right.

Well, everyone has a right to criticize anything.

Maybe they are stringing people along with some kind of intentional grift or something. I tend not to go there unless I really have a reason to suspect I’ll intent. Maybe they really should be held to doing monthly releases? Eh.

They’re creating the game and they aren’t some kind of professional company. I’m not going to be freaking out if it’s a week or two late.


All I care about is realistic timeframes and expectations and whatever.



I’ll just say that they do better at maintaining this schedule than the vast majority of devs here. I’ve seen maybe 2, 3 at the max, actually maintain that with consistency. I dunno if they deserve a pat on the back, but eh.

But those other devs don't promise that consistency, read the post that's literally above your own with the artists' update. I called that this would happen. They promise they'll do their best to get it in time for the month and then they fail, make a post saying how bad they feel about it and promise to not let it happen again and try to get it out as soon as possible. This happens literally every time. It's a pattern so that's reason enough to suspect there's more to it than just "oh it's a coincidence, it happens blah blah" no please just shut up and listen. Criticise them for their incompetence. The problem is easily solvable. Nobody is expecting a triple A game. We expect what's promised and they break those promises far to often. His post just now claims he's taking over some of the coding, if he can do it why can't they just use the ridiculous amount of money they earn monthly to hire a new coder to come in and help? They say the issue is always caused by the one coder failing to get it done in time due to burn out, so why haven't they taken the very simple step to fix it? What's their excuse? Stop defending them.

It’s just that they delay the release of the game because they are simultaneously working on the new Omnitrixxx project. That is the whole answer.

True, though I did suspect something like this to happen anyways: When it pours, it rains.

Besides, not like they aren't fair to their Patrons though by promising to send out the version to those that are in the respective tier for the month of may, so anyone who's annoyed is free to cancel their pledge and still receive what they have hoped for. Seems to me like a fair move at the very least.
Also also, I'm happy to see the artist chime into the coding process now to get things rolling regardless, given he's been so far up ahead that he can actually go out of his way to try and speed things up. Hell "it being more risky bugwise" is irrelevant as there's been bugs in nearly every bughunt release so far, some minor, some major.

I'd also like to mention that the coder should not dip into June right now and get back to work. He's supposed to code, not lewd June.
