Since we have a pause, I wish Mity would add more Zhu Li content to the slave route or at least to his art packs. She is underrated and fun to abuse. Zhu Li working naked in the garden or pregnant would be nice. There could also be funny Meelo, Zhu Li interactions since they are polar opposite personality wise.

I think its safe to say the update wasnt actually "80% done" back in early october, or he did something that totally nuked the whole thing

This is based on the fact that since then the vague estimations of how the update is coming along (both from the artist and the coder) have a much less optimistic outlook

The thing with writing is that it is hard to give a proper estimate of how long it will take.

I'm not talking about J R R Martin levels of delay, of course.

But youtube videos from professional writers seem to agree that most of the writing ends up removed or rewritten at some point before publishing.

And one of the hardest things to do when you are writing is chosing properly what to remove of the text.

And if something early needs to be removed or rewritten, later points may need to be changed to fit.

Add to that cbob clearly was going through depression and writer's block, and while we don't know what came first they clearly fed each other, good chances a part of the text was forced out and needs replacing.

I'm not saying they were not high-balling the 80%, but as that is for the script and not coding or art a big change like this is still likely.

Project is on hiatus, nobody knows when they will continue.

the worst part is, it feels like every new info they give paints a worse and worse picture. it was just a "soon", then it became a "almost finished", went to "he will deliver before the end of the month", and now we got a "we will stop patreon until something comes out". im afraid they will just post talking about how someone got arrested and the project will have to wait a couple years...

I mean the project IS on a hold, temporarily.

But given it's only been a couple months and there's been longer hiatuses and they're not even charging Patrons right now, I don't get why everybody's suddenly being hyberbolic about the future state of the game.

Like, seriously, wishing the game doesn't come out now? That makes no sense.

Okay people need to calm down. Most of the game is already out. If Mity and the team are on a hiatus, there must be a reason. So let's be patient and continue supporting them. The project isn't even on hold much less abandoned.

i agree. problem is, the reason will probably be cbob wanted to implement a shitty minigame, ended up screwing something in the code, and now is torn between taking it out, or fixing the code... you know, like the last time this happened?

of course, it could be because of something more serious, but it doesnt look like it is. it does look, however, like its the exact same problem he had before, but the backlash was so big, he is just being vague about it so people dont get angry again about a non issue...

i still think the problem would be more into the writing part, cbob can at least code some not-too-buggy spaghetti.. but when he tries to develop a story and something just 'doesn't look right', there's not really a plunge-ahead-fix-after option. imo if the problem were in the code, we'd have some very early bughunt version at least.
here i'm hoping i'm wrong o_O code problems would be easier to resolve.

Actually, having already started the Love Route, plus having the art ready, may make it even harder...

Anything he does now needs to build from what was already shown, and he already has the art to use, but the problem is filling the gaps.

It is like he has a bullet-point list of what he has to add now, maybe even in order, but now he is obligated to do all bullet points. And sometimes they don't flow as well.

..wait, no, it is not "like". When you pre-plan the plot, that is exactly what you are doing, opposite to just sitting and writing as it comes to your head.
