Sounds like TuesdayComes no today an update.
At least that what seems to happen. The programmer is in some kind of existential crisis or somsuch.

careful, you made a sensible comment, which can generate a false moralistic comment like:The programmer get an existenstial crisis that last months or weeks every few months since that whole disaster a while ago it seems.
They really refuse to hire a backup programmer or what ? Cause like it would solve 90% of their problems.

They don't have to replace coder. There are plenty of freelancers out there. I used to work with an Indian guy that made excellent PHP coding for a reasonable price and real fast (I gave him more than he demanded after seeing the quality AND speed. He earned it!).I dont see there being a new coder unless the current one quits on his own accord. The artist might be the public face of MITY but I dont know its ever been said that its strictly his project (meaning he could get rid of the coder if he wanted). Its been the two of them for years so I dont really see them changing that when theyre halfway done with the 4th book.
Oh you think we don't. Cute. I have like 15 other games I check once in a while, yet only rarely these make me anticipate the next update. That goes to show that MITY is doing something right.maybe yall look around a bit and find something else to play, for the inbetween?
Did he ask for Bob and Vagena?They don't have to replace coder. There are plenty of freelancers out there. I used to work with an Indian guy that made excellent PHP coding for a reasonable price and real fast (I gave him more than he demanded after seeing the quality AND speed. He earned it!).
I never said to replace him, I said to get another coder in addition, having only 1 artist and 1 coder was a bad idea from the start if you make enough money to hire backup.you forget, that, to a big part, this coder is also the writer which means, artist alone even with a different coder would be a complete game changer. that has been explained a small few years ago in some patreon post. cba to dig it up, since i dropped any patreon years ago. in essence, this coder out could mean good luck writing the story. matters worse, that time of his health/mental etc crash would be close to a full year now? maybe stuff comes back up. mammal brains never work right.
Weren't some people saying the code is so messed up you'd basically have to start from scratch to make sence of it? I don't understand any of that, just read comments saying this.I never said to replace him, I said to get another coder in addition, having only 1 artist and 1 coder was a bad idea from the start if you make enough money to hire backup.
Like, it's just a basic organisation advice that would literaly solve every problem MITY currently has.
More like it's basicaly spaghetti coding that's pointless convoluted and is to be avoided in group project.Weren't some people saying the code is so messed up you'd basically have to start from scratch to make sence of it? I don't understand any of that, just read comments saying this.
This is only partially true. The code isn't so much a mess as it is not efficient from what I recall. There was a conversation on here some months back where someone went through the code because others were complaining about it and showed that it's not the big mess everyone thought it was, but that it's also not super well written code.Weren't some people saying the code is so messed up you'd basically have to start from scratch to make sence of it?

Yeah I remenber everyone here laughing at the minigame's code. I didn't because I don't know shit about coding but everybody that did had a good laugh that week.The code that was really messy were always the mini games. There you could truly see that the coder is very inexperienced.
For the rest: Its not like writing a Renpy Game with (basicaly) linear progression is that complicated. So besides the code not being well structured (which mostly affects bug hunting being harder), the code is 'alright', since there isn't much to do wrong.
At least thats what I remember from looking at the code a few months back.
The writing is always top notch though. I also wish they would get a separate coder. It honestly wouldn't even be a full time job for a games like this, especially for a programmer with actual experience.
