Honestly I've been thinking the same thing. There was a point before the coder took his vacation that mity said the update was a few days away. Now after the vacation it's not gonna be until the end of this month???? What happened to all the progress that the coder made before the vacation? It's almost like he's doing the whole update again from scratch. It just doesn't add up

First of always remember, the coder is also the writer. So it'd not do with just a month delay to replace him, he might be irreplacible.
To his issue, if he really has a work-based depression breaking through I can attest from my own experience, that all his behaviour makes sense. Going on vacation to delay admitting his issue and to self-trick into thinking he's alright, not handing over code because yes, that'd show what a wreck he was and would be admission of incapability to work. All depressions are different, but if he has a type similiar to mine, then one core aspect is that you do not want to admit you're not productive and on top of your game anymore, because you don't want to seem, even less be a useless depressive pile (who does).
Now, I'm not saying doubts aren't in order, depressions can be easily used as an excuse too, as they're hard to prove from the outside. But his behaviour at least makes sense with the depressions.
I also don't think that laying into him here is necessarily a bad thing. It can force oneself to take a look in the mirror and decide if that's what one wants to be. A similiar thing helped me starting to get over it. Being supportive and understanding can be unintuitevly toxic however, as it can lull you into your sense of "Everything is fine, I don't need to change, depressions are bearable". So no matter what you say, you have equal chance of helping or not helping his mood, no way to tell.

If there's so much depression and so much burnout and so much "all the diseases in the world that somehow, every single Patreon porn game dev falls victim off", they could just pause the Patreon until the problems are solved
That's the absolute only way i believe a Dev actually has some issue that will delay them ~ they come out and say "im gonna pause for this month until i solve X or Y thing which will delay me" (and yes, some devs have done that)
If they dont pause, then its all just bullshit to cash in some free months

The artist never stopped working, only the coder did take a break. If you have doubts, just stop supporting them and come back (or don't) if they manage to recover from this. There's no point discussing this further for me because we really don't know what's really going on. What I do know is, that the artist is working hard every day and in a very stressful situation right now.

Its absolutely irrelevant if the artist racks up 5000 years worth of art because "he keeps working", because it will still be delayed by the coder, even if he recovers from the supposed "depression" ~
The "supposed" ammount of work will never ever be shown unless he starts publishing a shitload of pinups (which wouldnt require code, its just art) to fill the gap between code and "amassed art from the days that he kept working while the coder scratches his balls"
Anyone can say they "work hard every day" when nobody checks on them and dont need to show anything/prove anything ~

I'd say the Halloween special is proof enough.

Yeah, the halloween thing was like it's own mini book, it was cool so i give them the benefit of the doubt.
Is the writing well regarded? I've found individual lines funny but no great sense of characterization in the actual talking to the girls part. I doubt people would notice if someone else started writing their own brand of irreverent dialogue. Maybe it's not fair to judge because I skip all the tedious dream sequences with the annoying snake and spirit characters. I did notice the writing was bad in book 2 in terms of continuity. Try playing the love route without romancing Mai, your character keeps forgetting he is romancing Azula and barely knows Mai.
Considering everyone who's looked says the code is badly written and the coder is apparently the idiot with the fetish for awful minigames I think the talented artist was being weighed down before the coder turned into a flaky albatross. I doubt the artist would replace the coder now, but I hope they pick someone else to work with on their next project.

Personaly i liked it, it could be improved but it's better in term of humour and characters than like 99% of what i'v seen for that kind of game.
"MITY makes money so I'm allowed to be a complete asshole even though there's no justification to do so"
Reveals quite a lot about who you are as a person if you act like an utter twat to everyone who doesn't do what you want instantaneously.

The halloween story is mostly (not entirely, tho) reused assets from other different books, with like, 5mins of dialogue
Its seems long because Shady limits your skull game to 1 per day, if there wasnt a limit or if you cheat the money (or sell your soul), you realize you can finish it extremely fast

The wait for the new update is getting so wild i think i see the Spiritual Perverted Tentical Monsters coming out of the Spirit Portal! lol
Wait is this a crossover episode. The dev of one of my favorite games commenting on the game thread of the game that introduced me to this games.
Haha, I @'d him a couple pages ago because we were having a discussion on devs that get verbally assaulted.

Ren'Py 7.0.0.196Went in for the porn, went back for the story, came both times.
October was for the halloween side update. And honestly I think that for the main portion of the game we're going to get an update soon given that the halloween update a month ago allowed more time on the main game to be properly shaped.
