VN Ren'Py Nothing Is Forever [v0.7.3] [MrSilverLust]

[Gicoo]

Compared to previous chapters, chapter 7s update rate leaves much to be desired.
Good possibily this spirals further down to development hell.
First the old chapters gow reworked instead, then focus on steam release. Then split of chapters, always coupled with delays. Then talking about a new game done on the side. Also, the chapter is short even though the game overall increases in choices and content and is alreading starting to wrap all plotpoints up (only two additional chapters + epilogue to go).

Slowing down is a fact, hopefully it doesn't get even worse with waiting years for updates.

This game is superb and one of a kind in several aspects, the dev can be very proud about it. But at the same time, its complexity and the amount of relevant characters must make it hard and tedious to develop.

I hope the dev gets to wrap up this game in a satisfactory way, takes a good break, and then comes back with a similar game but more focused (less characters).

So six days until the end of the week. Or one additional week.

I will take the next week(s), when a dev (in general) makes an estimation, always take the worst case scenario.

yeah until I see a actual date I just assume it's 1-2 more months when I see a estimated time frame cause things can always go wrong.

devs initial estimate was 2 weeks ago lol

I know, when chapter 7 part 1 was released he said he needed another 6 weeks (which would be half/end of march. So yeah, life gets in the way, estimations can be too positive. But damn this happens with every damn dev all of the time.

Fuck no it wasn't!
Initial ETA was late Feb, early March.

I remember someone made a post that they expected it before April 19, which I don't remember why they set that date, but I laughed to myself and knew it would be the over. I doubted April and wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't released in May either. But I think MSL will try and get it out this month. I care less about a few weeks or even a month or two than the quality of the chapter. If it's a quality chapter with great content nobody will care that it took too long. But if it's as short as Part 1 was, I would definitely be disappointed in that case.

I fully understand and support this sentiment, but my problem is not with a late release date. My problem is with the constant estimated release dates which are never made. This is not something that only plagues MrS (he is one of the few who, until chapter 7, was actually quit punctual. I rather wait until a dev has actually a release date which is realistic then a ''hoping'' date. Because the last one brings just an expectation and the following dissapointment, which is hardly inspiring support.

Before everybody comes with ''dude this is a piracy site''. This is not my point, I do support the dev on patreon and am still very happy with NiF. But even if I didn't pay for the game, promises are not without responsibility, trust comes on foot and leaves on horseback.

[Joshy92]

It'll be here eventually. The game has a lot of choices and paths and stuff like that takes a lot of time.
