It's the "I've got a little list" update...
Hello!
A quick(ish) update from me, short on waffle but looooong on detail this time.
Progress
Headline is I'm getting there and getting close. At the bottom of this post you'll find a combined changelog and list of outstanding things to do. You'll note that there's a hell of lot been done with the remainder not (hopefully) that onerous.
The past few weeks have been a bit (actually a lot) slower than I'd have liked. Putting aside I've been running with a stinking cold for most of that time* which hasn't exactly helped, I'm been wrestling with an animation series that has had a mysterious "not quite right" feel about it. But it's been waved under quite a lot of noses and I think we're there now. One bonus that came out of this was discovering a major short cut to reduce animation workload. It's so simple, God alone knows why I never thought of it before. I'm embarrased to say what even is but I've managed to save myself hours on set up going forward by it.
The last thing that slowed me down a bit was handling the extension to the night time scenes. By that I mean, allowing you more choices on an evening with multiple events. I'd tried a couple of things in terms of implementation but kept finding a better way. Getting the right balance between simplicity of coding and player ease proved to be more challenging that I expected (which might be down to being full of cold of course).
And, oddly for my progress updates, that's it.
Other stuff
The 2070 is quite merrily churning out animations for the bonus game, and I'm happy to just leave it to it.
Again, I'm waaaay behind on my messages. Sorry. Focus has been on delivery and I've not even been around my usual haunts such as discord or the forum even for the past few weeks. I'll ship more stuff to the testers and then I'll clear them all.
Patreon, naturally, remains turned off for charging.
The list....
Brace yourselves!

I had already a bitter sarcastic text to it almost ready, and then I decided to just let it go. It's just a shame to see how completely excessive prefektionism and a fair amount of gullibility in the community can be so damaging to a game. I don't believe in it anymore. I think it is even possible that there is no one working on the game at all any more. Maybe, the idea is now to just write more and more long apologies and TODO lists. Very sad. The start was really good, but no one needs a game that will never get beyond the introduction.

 

[DanteRed]

To all of you who are complaining. Yes, I understand that waiting for a new chapter is a pain. But I'm willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that when it comes out, you'll be on it so fast, even the Flash will be impressed.

 

[anne O'nymous]

She can post walls of text consistently every month but can't get Ch-5 out.

Well, you know there's people who achieve to write one line without brain, why not a courtesy post for the people who effectively support you ?

[...] and then I decided to just let it go.

Are you saying this to convince us, or to convince you ?

In July 2021 you were suspecting "that maybe something is really not going so well", hoping that the next update would be better.
In September 2021 you explained how disappointed you where but the said "next update" where "nothing really happened" (while clearly having past your time avoiding all possible the interactions since the beginning of the game, or being cursed and systematically picking the wrong option to all choices, even those where there's no wrong options).
Then you past the rest of the month saying how bad the game is, and implying how you don't want to come back to it.
And here you are, coming back one and half year later, to complain again, apparently expecting that someone will care more about your opinion than at those times.

The start was really good, but no one needs a game that will never get beyond the introduction.

As I said two weeks ago, you are waiting for something that will never come, completely misreading what the story talk about, and what the game is.
It's clearly not a game for you, what happen and is perfectly normal. You moved away one and half year ago because of this. Too bad that you came back, instead of letting us with this sweet memory of the adult you looked like at this time.

Having to contend with pirates while irregular is not a thing anyone wants to experience.

I believe even the gloomiest nay-sayer or the trolliest troll cannot truthfully look at such list and with a straight conscience blob "this game is abandoned, cos the rules say so." I mean, where will the world be, if even pirate sites of indy porn game stop following protocol, right? Total chaos.

The second criticism: "she's over-doing/thinking/working this" is indeed a valid point of view. She probably is. But there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. I am sure it will be polished to perfection when eventually it does come out, and I am sure I - personally - will notice max. 20% of the changes, at best. But we won't change the Dev, so save your breath and our eyes.

Still a whole lot to do, huh... I can understand the frustration. Hell, I'm a perfectionist myself when it comes to work. For games like this, I don't mind waiting for a long time as long as the dev(s) do(es) it right. So far, I didn't really hear any negative feedback so I still have good hopes for Chapter Five to deliver.

They are still there, just not in the same way. Now they are actual NPCs, so in a way, you can say you have a better chance with them now. XD

They are still there, just not in the same way. Now they are actual NPCs, so in a way, you can say you have a better chance with them now. XD

Thanks. I'm relieved.

Sure it's not nonexistant per se but I can't really picture it. When we eventually go back to the Intrepid would we go on dates with Becca and Jane? I don't see any reason for them to interact with us.

Yeah, not sure how it would work, but there are others that are supposed to be added later, like the marines, that we have a chance with, if those plans did not change, so all I am saying is that it's better than it was. lol
It could be that it's only in one of the 'bad ends', hard to say. XD

Whew. . . when I read the actual content of "It's the "I've got a little list" update... "
I had to ask myself, "look at the 'to-dos' !!

Ok the list of the Changes planned and done is IMPRESSIVE! I won't deny it. It is almost like writing an entirely new game. It's a MAJOR OVERHAUL!
And I'm not complaining.
When. . .and IF,. . . this new version comes out...and that is what this is...an entirely new version of the game it will be a major uprev of the existing game as well as new content. A major achievement.

BUT.... just one look at the 'to-dos' and sorry boys, your favorite girl developer is going to be busy for a long, long time. I'm estimating release around September. . .if then.

Them's the facts, Jack.

Build a time machine, stop the car accident

Have you ever thought about the possibility that this accident never happened? Just like all the todo lists and the supposedly finished contents are probably all just fantasy. Even if there was an accident, this may explain a delay of half a year, but certainly not this endless nothing. More than 18 months have passed since the last update. This is just ridiculous.

I get why you would be skeptical. But those of us who defend the dev is because we also follow her on Discord and her personal website and know what she's like. If she wanted to pause the game for a few months, she would have done it without having to make up an excuse.

Also, as people keep repeating, she has paused the game for months now. The only income she's getting is from new patrons and even those are billed on the month that they join. This is a passion project for her and she will do it her way, no matter how much time it takes.

Have you ever thought about the possibility that all posts here are made be alt-accounts of the dev ?
Maybe she has MPS, and you are an alt-account as well. Yes, that must be it.

Bringing up baseless accusations is called slander you know.
