Always great to visit this topic once in awhile, knowing that the next installment is planned for August timeframe and wondering if any tidbits have leaked recently ... instead to find another minority of obnoxious, self-implied experts on game development (and mental/emotional health, apparently) who throw their faux superior, judgmental and generally unhelpful shite from porcelain towers at supporters - both financially and in spirit - through the convenient insulation of this forum.
And yet you are back again, complaining about them every time you come back.. Don't you see a full circle?

Group 1 - Saying the same thing every week or every few days

Group 2 - Talking about how bad group 1 is every week or every few days

Repeat.. Like a broken record, group 2 is as bad as group 1. :rolleyes:

Yeah, exactly: I'm just calling out miscreants and for that, should be lumped into the same bucket. Makes sense: we should just ignore it and hope it goes away.

. . .

Oh wait, that never works!

The only way evil persists is for others not to speak up against it. These comments don't rise to the level of "evil" but they intentionally throw ill-will - often without good reason - towards a large swath of fans and the dev, creating mostly noise. That's far different than noting these people happen to exist and should consider that their shite is unhelpful and sometimes worse than noise.

Oh wait, that never works, though.
Two groups basically do the same thing, repeat the same topic just using different words.

they ask, you call them out, they ask you call them out, 2 months later the same thing still goes on..

It's just the way it is not only on this forum and what im trying to say, that group 2 is not better than the group one, basically belongs in the same rabbit hole of being annoying at this point. :rolleyes:

"The only way evil persists is for others not to speak up against it ." Evil....LOL oh brother...."Speak up against it." This really is the most entertaining thread these days with gems like this. The leaps of logic. "often without good reason " We will, of course, ignore the ones WITH good reasons. "towards a large swath of fans and the dev " Just the hostile ones who feel opinions are only allowed if they are full of praise. Oh, and the less than honest developer.

You are ignoring he wrote that stuff found on the OP page. Then just before the June deadline was up he changed it to 8/6. So one group has an issue with what is happening or not happening to be more accurate. And then you have the other that freaks out on people who just discovered the game and ask about the next release. Pouncing on them with the same venom as someone like me. I get having an attitude with me since I have addressed it a bunch. But even innocent questions are met with a lot of hostility.

So let me get this straight, you hope to have v0.6 in late July even though the dev himself explicitly stated that it would be released in August? Interesting.
I'd like to have v0.6 some time today or tomorrow. Isn't going to happen, so I'll just wait until August. I'll be patient. I'll not crawl up into a ball on the floor and twitch. I'll survive.

And then someone will come along, complaining, and asking (again) when the next update is due.

Icstor only updated the bar because so many people massively and ridiculously obsessed over the 65%. It's meaningless. As has been said the update will be in August.
This, exactly this. We all know the update is comng out in August, the progress bar is just to keep the punters happy that he's "active". It's pointless at this stage since he has Caroline's content already finished (was only missing the animations). He then only planned on spending another 2 weeks on Celia but now he's adding in the neighbours.

We can only speculate that in the 2 months that we have he's most likely working on several animations (probably the biggest update with animations so far IMO). As that would "make up" for time he had off (ICSTOR said he didn't feel okay to release it as it is).

I would hope that he also adds to Caroline's story just to beef it up a bit more since I am pretty sure what we got will already be solid but in 2 months you can do A LOT of work (especially at the rate ICSTOR works!).

TL;DR: Ignore the progress bar, it means nothing for this update.

"Both sides do it" isn't really the reality, I feel.

There's not two different groups in the forum: there's all sorts of opinions here and all should be considered equally.

Meanwhile, a minority of posters come here just to bellyache, each in their own way. Hey, that's fine at first - we all have opinions, right?

Until it becomes revisionist, trying far too hard to show that the Dev for this game isn't ... what? Going to come back from their self-imposed hiatus for medical reasons (which has happened)? Announced a timeframe for the next installment (which has been scheduled for August)? Back up their promise to suspend Patreon payments for awhile (which has happened)? Explain their rather personal reason for falling behind for a bit (which they did)?

Using lame misinformation, such as last deliverable not including the work they did for the Xmas release, etc. just shows the really odd desperation on display from some posters here with a beef for no reason I can discern.

Let people make their own decisions on whether or not to support the Dev on Patreon or in spirit - otherwise, say your piece and then get over the situation if it bothers you that personally.

I just don't understand the point. Every time there's a long gap between updates, and granted this one is longer than it has been before (although we know why), there's a bunch of people who come in here and try to argue that the game has been abandoned. Not just speculate, but argue. What happens if you win this argument? What is gained? Say, you change someone's mind, two months later the update comes out, everyone gushes about how sexy it was, they're excited for the next one, etc. Are you gonna come in here and say "I guess it wasn't abandoned after all"? Or maybe you'll wait another month and a half and start the cycle again.

Could have made it some odd amount, such as 72.37%, just to keep people guessing.
If it were me I'd write a script that sets the percentage to a random number at random times throughout the day, just to mess with people.

Or better yet something like

Code:
def update_progress():
    amount_done += random.uniform(0, 1 - amount_done)
    website.publish(str(amount_done * 100) + "%"))
