Impressive being able to come up with almost 5 years of excuses. So at 1 excuse per month, in a few months hitting 5 years. That would make 60 excuses. I wouldn't want to call Stencilbits a liar but.....

Maybe that's just extreme case of procrastination (I know that from myself) or bipolar disorder. In any case I agree, that is quite an achievement but I hope dev is aware of his problem and will go for counseling or something. If that's not some kind of mental health problem then he is just extreme liar and that is something to work on too...

how is this game on page 2 of top rated games on the site with people saying its been almost 5 years without a update. Are we trolling here or is it that good of a game
on another note almost 5 years of lying is a mythical, light yagami level feat

The existing game has complete content for several story routes. It's decent. The abrupt change from "game development" to "slow-moving social breakdown via patreon post" is something to behold, but if instead of "abandoned" it said "completed" the game would still be not bad - most of us are here because we liked it.

The only thing that really upsets me is that the Alice route is the one that was next, and that was the specific one I was most looking forward to.

Exactly. Dude has been cockteasing us with Alice for nearly 5 years.

Yeah this was a great game. Best to just consider it complete and check back on this thread every few months for the wild excuses and the people memeing on the dev
Exactly this the completed routes are still good enough to play even through the bs thats saying something of stencils talent he just so lazy

Fake Update time!!
It's April, Fools! Edition:
Picture of Alice dressed as April O'Neil while hugging a Mr.T plushie.
It's that time again where I use Bullshit no jutsu to justify my lack of release this month. So, let me spin the wheel of excuses:
OK the wheel landed on cybernetic implants, so, I'm on a waiting list for a cybernetic ocular implant . This will require at least 8 months of rest with 13 more of therapy, which translates to a 35 years delay on the release at best. Then these renders will be too outdated for release, so might as well restart from scratch. No one wants 2019 renders in 2059!
As always my patreon is more frozen than Elsa's butthole and I won't thaw it until I release offcuts 0.4, but with the remake in order, I have to start from 0.1 and that means by the time I reach 0.4 again, we'll probably be on 2099.
TLDR:
No steam version: My work ethic is not welcome there.
0.4 with Alice's route will be released soon-ish
but with my delays, I might start all over.
last but not least
..-. ..- -.-. -.- -.-- --- ..-
I wrote it in Braille for those who don't believe I'm going blind...
(Wait, that's Morse... feh! The average f95 fapper won't lnow the difference)

Released 3 days early for members.
Another month passes by, which means it's time for the good, old monthly update! In the few previous updates I have been mostly chronicling my eye pressure health issue saga, which is now most likely culminating in a minor surgery. My right eye is pretty much perfect again, but my left eye still has problems. To prevent any permanent damage, it will likely need a small operation soon if nothing else works. So, in the next update post, I'm hopefully either mostly back to normal or live a permanent pirate life. I already have the eyepatch, so I would only have to buy a parrot and a wooden leg. Still, the prognosis looks good, so I'm pretty optimistic about it.
This was another pretty short update post, but with any luck the next update should have more news if things go as planned. Even if things don't work out perfectly, releasing Offcuts 0.4 should still be possible even in my current state, although continuing this hobby after that might prove more difficult. While I have become used to using only one eye, reading and writing still stress my good eye out quite a bit. According to some others, it can get better as you get more used to using only one eye and unconsciously re-train some eye muscles or something, but hopefully, I don't have to go that far. So, let's hope for the best for now!
As always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until Offcuts 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then). Thanks for your endless patience!

Next months excuse is all ready to go.
Surgical complications.
Recovery from said surgery.
Could not do surgery because of "insert reason here" and will be scheduled for next month.
Surgery was a success but the surgeon decided to do both eyes just for shits and giggles, unable to see until May 30th.

I'm kinda new in his story and I wonder... Does anyone really care? I mean he kinda act like a celebrity or something...? Why not just post info that he has health issues and will be back in few months or something, is there really a need to post every few weeks what has he been doing last days? Who the fuck cares if all he says is related to his personal life and not game dev? And it lasts for 4 years? I'm confused here...
It's been 5 years now if i remember correctly. Before this eye surgery excuse arc, there was the " oh my computer wiped some files and i have to redo them ". That lasted for about 4-5 months and then it was just the usual " it's almost ready, just need to go through the script again ".
Some people think this is a some kind of a social experiment or he is just stringing people along for shits and giggles. Others think he made simple AI to come up with excuses every month. Still doing this for 5 years every single month is really weird.

I don't know about everyone else, but for me it's all about the Memes. Stencilbits has become a meme with his excuses and I'm gere to make fun of them until 0.4 with Alice route finally comes out or George RR Martin releases the winds of winter, whichever comes first.

I just really want to know if he thinks anyone still believes his bullshit after all these years?
He's come out with so many shitty excuses and lies that if he walked up to and said the sky is blue i'd have to go out and check myself while phoning a friend for their opinion too.

I see they're still milking the eyesight bullshit this month. If this is a troll it's one hell of a long con.

Time flies and another month passes by, which means it's time for another monthly update! The ongoing health saga about my eyesight continues, but this time with some more progress. As I mentioned in the previous update post, my left eye still had some issues and it already received a few non-intrusive treatments this month which have helped a bit. Unfortunately, it looks like it needs a more intensive operation to truly fix the issue and prevent any permanent damage. I already received a date for the operation some time ago, and it should be next Wednesday if nothing major happens, so with any luck, it will resolve the issue one way or the other. This pirate life eye-patch LARP has grown pretty old by now.
That's pretty much everything for now. Hopefully, before the next update, I should have a clearer vision (both physically and mentally) about what's going to happen in the future. As I pondered previously, releasing Offcuts 0.4 should still be possible even in the worst case as it is basically ready, although continuing this hobby after that might prove more difficult. But let's hope for the best for now.
As always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until Offcuts 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then). Thanks for your endless patience!
