Test build always comes first, then official release comes out usually 2 or 3 days later. When we say release date, we usually mean test build. Since that's the version that leaks here and everyone plays first.

 

[yeahwhatever]

Im slowly turning into a f5 warrior waiting for this to release

 

[porotropo]

A little birdie told me that because what happens in CH 12, that is potential for a 14th chapter. =p

My prediction is that it will be released on the 28th, Fool's Day

I honestly find it quite hilarious that someone who brags quite openly about being a mod in a potential discord of BBS, games notoriously known for slow updates with little content, comes into this thread trying to throw around his undeserved high and mighty like he's better. It actually amazes me that idiotic people like yourself still bring up the length of updates in Power Vacuum given that each subsequent update is almost double in size as the previous one. The fact that we're only having 8-9 month updates is a miracle. Throw this project to almost any other solo dev and I almost guarantee this chapter 12 update would take about 15 months.

Now before you start sarcastically insulting and backhanding nonsense as you tend to do in most threads I see you in, or labelling me a Power Vacuum fanboy consider this, I havent played Power Vacuum since the 6th chapter. I've been waiting for the game to finish and I shall patiently wait till it finally does, doesn't mean I can't appreciate the work of the dev especially when it's warranted.
You know what is impatiently being waited upon is BBS, whether Rainces, Zip or your lord and savior Ogrey who in nearly 2 years still hasn't released an update? (Talk about slow at work right)

I honestly feel people like you have nothing better to do than to get your rocks off by going into other threads you clearly hate for some undisclosed reason and just shittalk false, trolling nonsense. As a very infrequent f95 poster but a constant lurker I've noticed behaviour like this with multiple people and its just so irritating to read through people's constant, inane drivel. I'm sure Dartred would happily give you the breakdown from chapter to chapter of render count, animations, word count etc to easily prove to you why updates take so long from chapter to chapter (and yet amazingly somehow still take far less time than they deserve to with all the required work)

Pretty confident you won't read this, if you do I doubt anything intelligent will come in a reply as I've yet to see one piece of intelligent writing that you have so far posted.

Nah man I don’t defend Reys slowness anymore after he missed his September date last year I stopped defending him on that aspect until he releases a game I won’t be posting anything about it which might be never if I’m honest.

Plus Ra and zip can get fucked the scammers. Got banned from RAs server recently for speaking my mind.

I’m a straight shooter don’t know what else to say to you guys. Too many yes men on here also a lot of haters, I’m neither of them, just tired of devs taking advantage. I supported WWG for 4 years I think I’m entitled to my opinion on his increasingly long update cycles for not that much to show for it IMO.

I used to do all the render and animation counting each update and discuss it with dart before he ever posted it here, you say your a lurker but I guess you missed all the years of my posting in here as a big fan lol

As I found this game very recently I have to ask is there BBC content in here or why did you come here as a BBC Fan?
Genuinely curious because I haven't played it through to the end yet but I didn't see any BBC content.

No, there are no scenes featuring the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Fun police have arrived. No apologies if I over moderate. Going to cleanup the thread a bit.

We are getting status update on the 26th. That’s all I’ll say. No release before Christmas.

Do we know if it's THE update or a status update?

Status. He says he will have a better idea of the release date by then.

 

[Hermit76]

One correction. He didn't start writing until 4 months ago. 9 months ago was just when last chapter released.

Alright, but that's his decision actually. If he had decided to start yesterday, that would not change the average.

We JUST had the thread cleaned up. Why are you starting again?

OK, so we at least have some news. That's all I was stopping by here to see what's up. Thank you for the heads up.

We don’t pay attention, the main thing is that we have 3 days for status!

 

[yeahwhatever]

F5 for 2 weeks? You’ll end up losing all your fingers man, on both hands….and feet.

I am committed to the cause

 

[uscmiller22]

Status. He says he will have a better idea of the release date by then.

This is sounding like a delay to me personally, would be surprised if he’ll know it will be done one of the last 5 days after the 26th if he doesn’t already now.

Let’s talk about something negatively positive for a change. by that I mean the NTR bad end. Dev said the Hunter bad end is going to be depressing. It even made him sad to make it.
Now, I wonder what he means by sad? We had Sterling die, Sterling lose every girl and go blind, etc. what can happen to him to be enough to make even the dev sad.

im calling Sterling not being believed in the bad end about Hunter and all the girls believe Hunter causes Sterling to commit suicide.

Hmm... I wonder what could make Sterling commit suicide? Of the listed endings, 2 things happened for Sterling, he went blind or became like a robot controlled by Hunter himself, was there anything else that I forgot? it means that Sterling will be killed... perhaps this will be a depressingly bad ending for some because the grandfather went to kill his grandson or supposedly forced Sterling to commit suicide... that's all I can guess, because there is no other option for the depressing ending

P.s this is the only way to make us worry about what Hunter might be like and what he is ready for since he forced Sterling to commit suicide...

There will be one of the following things in the next updates?
*Erotic asphyxiation, not necrophilia, although there was something with hunter and cath hahaha
*BDSM (spanking and whipping)
*Hunter's wife, any image or animation and maybe his mother

Ahahaha... imagine Hunter's worst weakness is his mother

I doubt it, Sterling dying is a bit too easy. Suffering is always worse than death. Horror movies are scarier when the villains tortures his victim, tormenting is much more nightmarish then simply killing an individual because while your life ends when you die, so does your pain.

I have already thought about a scenario where Hunter manages to corrupt the girls mind, twisting them into being just as bad as him. And when he manages to do that, the girl will now be willing to torture Sterling from their own will instead of being more innocent collaborator of Hunter as it happened in the previous bad ends.

I have a more detailed version for the people who are interested to learn about it.


But another possibility is that Hunter does not manages to corrupt their mind BUT he manages to convince them that Sterling was the villain all along, and THIS means that in the new bad ends. The girl just refused to talk to Sterling, order him to get out of the house and will go to their grave hating Sterling's guts because they believe the version of Hunter.

Which wouldn't be as bad as my first hypothesis, but more than enough to be quite the depressing ending. As it's not just that they have been turned into living sex doll by Hunter but that they no longer have any love or attachments to Sterling.
