VN Ren'Py Jessica O'Neil's Hard News [v0.65] [stoperArt]

[armion82]

^^ This.

I'm a huge fan of JOHNS, High Life, and DeLuca Family as the best "new" projects by a significant margin, and I support them all. But each are pretty laissez-faire when it comes to updates, in that "it's ready when it's ready." There are some devs who've managed to gain a significant following with this unpredictable approach (Pandelo with MSN and Luxee with PL and of course Milfy City are the first to come to mind). But I'm pretty convinced that releasing even an adequate update every single month on a particular date, no matter what, is the key to gaining patrons on Patreon. I mean, look at games like Lewd Island and Lucky Mark--each release is bashed here on F95, yet they each have a surprising amount of patrons given the comparative quality of their games. (Full disclosure, each is a guilty pleasure that I also patronize).

I'm not criticizing any dev that releases updates on an irregular schedule!! Personally, I prefer a quality, bug-free update released sporadically than forced updates every month. I'm not talking about my personal preference here--I'm just talking about my observations that consistent releases seem to be the key for devs who are most concerned about maximizing revenue.

Thankfully, some devs would prefer to be proud of their releases, even if it means attracting fewer patrons. That's their decision, and who are we to advise any of them to place business over art, or art over business?

We can add Haley's Story,Lexi,Triangle.Freeloading Family and Life with Mary from older games.

Just got around to playing this update. I like the content added and am liking Jessica's sister's character. I'd be cool with a spin off for her once this game is completed.

 

[Vuljin]

is there any news on this game???

 

[lyric123]

Don't think anything more precise than late December has been said. Last two updates came out on the 27th and 28th so those dates seems like a good enough guess.

 

[tigers]

Does anyone has access to Artwork 7?

 

[KiresTheOne]

Hi there, fellas.

With just a few days left till my target release date (27th), I realized I won't be able to finish the whole update. So I'll release it in two stages, like the September update. With a BETA, missing the last event for the day, and then a FULL release when the scene is ready.

I hope I can finish it all by the end of the month, but if I'm not satisfied with it, I'll push it further. That last event is important for Jessica's character, and there are a few branches in it, so I really don't want to rush it.

For those of you who plan to cancel their pledge at the end of the month, in case I don't manage to release the FULL version by 31st, just message me and I'll send you the final link when the update is ready.

Happy holidays to all, and best of wishes to you and your loved ones. And as always, thanks for your support.

No way to cancel.I didn't did that for AWAM and Babysitter after several delay of both games.
If I like the game I need something more to cancel it.

you can say it loud, lingerie is fantastic even if I do not know exactly how he did to insert it, in the sense that there are no reference models ..

I kinda feel like a jackass for saying so, but i agree. What did it take to make. A week? It seems like less than a week is needed to finish of the update, so...

I wouldn't be sad to see it go and JOHN become the sole focus.

But then that's coming from me, someone who can't muster up any interest at all in the side project no matter how well it is made (and it is well made). I've never been able to care about 'non-canon' side stuff in any series whether it be books or games or whatever. On the other hand, i'm sure there are others out there who do like it, including Stoper himself, so i get it. Can't complain TOO much.

He already planned to make an update in each 2 months for this game since the very beggining. It won't change a thing on his schedule to let go of the other side project.

No changes except perhaps for the small delays that both of the updates have had so far (and the artist's crunch to make them as small as possible).

But yes, this is just splitting hairs and nitpicking. Small delays, and they only exist so different content can be delivered anyway. When this is where the perhaps overly critical discussion settles, you know you have a quality project on your hands.

 

[UncleVT]

And if he's very happy to work on the other project?
And if it gives him the chance to clear his head and work in this better?
And if he only does it because he wants to?
It seems very egocentric to me to opine about what he should do and how another person should work, unless we are his boss.

 

[quinfax]

It's nice to know @stoper is keen on keeping deadlines. However his work is top tier grade. Also his attention to detail and perfection makes for excellent scenes and low to no immersion loss. So a little delay bothers me none.

I just hope he can enjoy the holidays despite this. I'll be here with anticipation.

Keep up the excellent work.
