hopefully with him redoing a lot of pictures, the 1.5 will be worth restarting and really be worth it
hopefully!

- Thread starter 7767
- Start date
It did not surprise me that it was not published between the dates considered. What's more interesting is that the producer doesn't speak at all on patreon and f95 sites. There are no replies to private messages either. But I think it will be out very soon. because people are just talking about the update. this may disturb the producer.
Didn't suprise me either, that the date/s passed without an update. And it is not surprising, that HoneyGames is again playing submarine and not talking at least to his suporters at Patreon. It is a shame that he is not understanding the need to communication at least with them UPFRONT :-(
NCC is such a good game, but HoneyGames is making it hard to belive one word / the promisis he is saying / giving :-(
October to march this speed i think next 1.6 will be october or xmas
if honey say its ready and just saying 1-2 week i tend to wait over month
if he said pc crush data some lost 1-2 month
if he say family issue and work wont be able look up some time till summer
small posile its all ready just checking some stat tests then maybe 10 day

HoneyGames just lost 20 patrons today :-( that is something between 20 and 500 USD in support.
I hope he realize now the importance to communicate any delays and or difficulties to his patrons that might effect the update.

But it can also turn out to be a disadvantage if he says that the development of his games doesn't bring anything more and he completely refrains from it. But I can understand people who cancel their PATREON membership with him ...
Indeed , delays , setbacks etc are naturally in this kind of things, but 2 min of your life to write 3 words like : it's delayed, wont hurt , especially his patreons...
Yes I said that. 30 Patreon members lost in 1 month. One of them is mine. It is not right to pay for 3-4 months and not get updates.

Yup, it is far more appropriate to pay 6-7 months for it.
Or if we are really generous and respectable to supporters, it could be 12+months, which is a real deal.
Those 3-4 months here, and for the first time happening....damned dev is such amateur.

Yeah, this happens at the beginning of every month as payments don't get processed correctly through Patreon.

I think DrPinkCake (Being a DIK) has got a good communication strategy, he updates his patrons every Friday about the progress in the game development, how many new images, how many animations, while he does not set a precise release date. This is the best, because you just tell how much you have done and people are satisfied with that.
We must also say that he earns really a lot from that game (I think it's his only job) and he is at risk of collapsing mentally & physically because he is working too many hours each day. You cannot sustain such schedule for a long time without health issues. No VN developer is really professional in every aspect.
Maybe in the following years we'll see more developers joining forces and creating professional studios devoted to adult games.

Best one by far , are the team behind treasure of nadia , they have lots of patreons , but they also provide updates twice a month. Its not fair to compare them with Honeygames , as he is pretty much alone.
some people say he is like cyberpunk 2077 cdproject
i say he is more like fargo and numenera or maybe vampire bloodlines 2...

Yes that's what I am saying, for a single person that also has to manage his daily job every single minute is important, so I understand why many developers have to prioritize coding and renderings at the expense of public relations. Updating about the work is not just writing a post, it's collecting data and statistics for writing it, looking at replies etc. That's why I really hope many of them join the forces and create bigger teams.
i delete wall of text i wrote no need repeat myself and people mock my writing anyway
its just upsetting every few weeks some disappearance then new update like almost done

Post from today on PATREON:
First of all, sorry for the lack of communication.
This period has been very complex from a business point of view, the city where I live is back in lockdown, the week before the start of the lockdown I was fully engaged in my work (real work) to organize countermeasures for the lockdown. (I am a consultant for several restaurants, which now have had to close again, so I had to reorganize all the restaurants menus to adapt them to take away only, it is complex because it includes staff reduction, elimination of some food not suitable to be transported and other things, I don't want to bore you further)
I hope that at this point there will be no further unforeseen events because I really want to continue to work on this game in which I put and am putting a lot of effort. I would love it if this could be my only job, because I would like to give it complete priority, unfortunately that is not the case.
I took advantage of the time when I couldn't be in front of the PC by working on it and doing more renders. (by the way adding renders in the old locations takes some time to change the name of the images, which are now more for each location).
