Ren'Py Abandoned Power Vacuum [Ch. 12 Official] [What? Why? Games]

[dartred]

Pardon me if I'm wrong but wasn’t ch10 released back in 17th of June? That'd make it 8 months.

Yeah, i'm remembering a patreon thing that made him re-release a chapter. I guess that was chapter 10. Any proof of the old release is erased to keep patreon happy, so you're probably right. Though i want to say CH 9 took 7 months, but that post is gone too. So 1 month increase for every release being 50% larger then the last is still good in comparison.

I know it won't make the impatient happy, but if CH 12 comes out to 9 months wait time but 50% bigger then CH 11, the trade off is statistically good. Though people won't like waiting.

How long after the beta do we get the full release?

No official day. Just "releases when it's ready". That could mean once the Beta testers stop finding errors, he builds the gallery and anything else he does. It's an asap thing for the first official. The second official tier gets it 3 days after the first official tier.

WWG first promised it’d be out IN January, and then he said middle of feb, which was 10 days ago. Now he’s promised by this weekend, which either means Saturday Sunday, or anytime before.

"Promise" is a strong word. WWG is smart enough not to make such promises.

Find me the post where he said only January. I'll find you the post where he said it could be January to February.

To be fair, in that screenshot from 1/1, WWG alludes to having "predicted months ago" a January release. Of course, emphasis on "predicted", which again is very different from "promised".

 

[dartred]

"Looking like" is a weak promise, but yeah. That prediction was made in October. Way before he could have honed in on how close a release would actually be.

pls dont give us hope then broke it

I was talking about the official release in that post. WWG hasn't mentioned anything yet, so until he says otherwise, it's still looking like tomorrow or day after.

 

[jond2760]

I, too, am eager for this release, then another release then a quick break, and then another. I share your pain and excitement. I feel you, homie. I feel you.

 

[milfkiller]

But, we're in the homestretch. I plan to have Chapter Eleven out by next weekend say by dev...
for me that is a promise...pls dont broke it

6 month is enough...why not wait for 2 years?

 

[Alexbt]

It's 4: 00 a. m. Washington time, so I believe there's still a chance of an update today.

waiting for a long time

 

[HanBoston]

waiting for a long time

well...only 3 days left before February end

 

[milfkiller]

well...only 3 days left before February end

maybe next month...another month

 

[Alexbt]

I dont think its the waiting that people dont like, but the missing deadlines. He is a great dev, i wish he was a bit more pessimistic with the dates so that he delivers early or on time.

Agreed, as I said earlier, an uncertain date is the biggest test of patience and the biggest blow to enthusiasm is blowing us off, as CDPR did with the release of Cyberpunk 2077, in which case people are more likely to accept a later date that can be achieved.

 

[Dogorti]

Jeez, i never understand people who complain about waiting for updates it's as if they have nothing else to play or do, many of them aren't even subscribed to patreons so they don't lose anything waiting, plus each update of this game is better and bigger so it's worth the wait

and as for the missed deadlines, we have to understand that we are all human including the devs, they can be wrong and they will probably have their own problems irl, so I don't judge

 

[Hained]

IDk why some of you so angry about updates I rather wait longer and have a perfect game than play a "bug"ggy game with zero joy.

I wonder if Dev will do us a favor while it's the weekend

I get he’s your favorite and you’ll always defend him, but he is the one saying a timeframe and missing it. It’s normal for that to frustrate people. He’s said so many times he hates giving dates for that very reason, and still turns around and gives date ranges. Dude just needs to stop saying any timeframe, use a percentage update or something and leave everything ambiguous. IE: Caribidis, Icstor, etc. If you give people hope and miss that, it’s going to let them down. I don’t personally care, I have a backlog of way too many games, but I get the frustration.
