I think they're the same person. The guy does the coding also does the writing. The coding isn't the part they're running into troubles with, it's the actual writing.
yeah theyre the same person. i dont mind the delay, the writing in the first build is really good and itd be nice to maintain that quality

Update via word of God himself.



I was surprised I got an answer but I appreciate their honesty and transparency at the very least.
writing is a fair one to hold things up, its hard enough as is but then on top of that the writing thats already gone into this game sets the bar pretty high which no doubt causes insane amounts of stress and pressure

well uhh i don't watch anything like that really. my prefs are more into idk, 'real' movies.
else, South Park maybe. sometimes. Zig&Sharko when the grandkids are around, or those Madagascar penguins.
on the other hand, i don't even spend that much time watching TV anymore, so much to do so little time :D

for the badguy act in the game, i can distance myself from conscience far enough to play the mean guy, i guess.
it's a game, i dive into being mean, and come right back out when i close the game. years of practise. ;)
I didn't know people old enough to have grandkids would be into 2D girls. Especially not relatively modern 2D girls. Good on you anyway. I used to watch Zig and Sharko with my cunt ex before she dumped me. Now the show just makes me feel bad so I don't watch it anymore. Its funny enough I guess.
Anyway its not that I can't seperate myself from the slave route, I can, I don't really imagine myself doing those things, its more that watching them be done to characters I care about makes me feel upset. Its like watching someone you love be hurt, it just makes me upset and uncomfortable.

say, how far did you come with that slave route experiment of yours by now? curious.
Oh fuck I didn't realize you asked a question before, lemme answer
I'm still on book 3, I basically completed Toph's arc but I think since I was so eager to get it over with I ignored everything else and the game apparently didn't want me to do that so I have to complete the other girls before I can move on. I've already done Korra's slave route though so I don't need to do that one.

No. Even writers as JRR Martin have writing blocks that last for years. I thought it was coding, but it's writing. I can't blame him for this, and so should you.
Honestly yeah. At this point, either he rushes out something sub par and people point out how shit the writting is like in book 4 slave route. Or he takes time to make it good. And as a consumer I'd rather he takes time to make it good because when it eventually comes out it will be worth it, and even worth replays. But if he rushes it, it's gonna always be a bad part of the story that people trash.

Yeah, I agree, nothing can be done for the writing, it's totaly different from the coding aspect, it either goes well or it doesn't.
that's what i was talking about some pages back, why some extra coder could be of less help as expected.
i could bet he's writing the story right into the code, while coding. that would at least explain the spaghetti.

Oh, kinda late and had to go through about 10 pages... and now I sympathize with cbob more than ever!

I'm a programmer with aspirations for writing, and not only I have some depression bursts now and then, one of them caused by a coding issue I fixed VERY easily after getting better,
I also have some severe cases of writers' block. Recently gave a cliff's notes version of the ending of my more popular story in fanfiction.net, so long the block on it has been I thought unfair for the readers.

So yeah. I can totally see something with the level of writing of this game being stuck for months due to writers' block.
As I said, sometimes we may have the script, a mental storyboard, to me that is even easy really... but in order to put it into words, into the characters and descriptions, that is the part that really blocks you hard.

And then when coding a game, both game design, including gameplay thus the coding (in this cases minigames) and story should hopefully be integrated, so a block in one harms the other too. And when the story asks for a new minigame to be added...
Art can use a placeholder, or be made in advance if plans are already made - as mentioned my story had a fully planned plot but the block was in putting it as readable, interesting story. So the artist being done but the coder not means nothing...

(Also, about those talking about how the h scenes in the slave route are better than the love ones... that's the idea, isn't it? Love for story and character development, slave for sexy times focus?)

I wonder if coding causes depression
