Bro is the developer lazy, incompetent or are these release dates just arbitrary?
Once upon a time,Personally i don't mind the delay, what is 4 more days, for something that i've been waiting for 4 months ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , you guys need to chill a little.
It won't be worth it since most of the halloween update came out four months ago.all this wait for a god damn halloween update, this better be worth it
Thanks for taking the time to write this up. On paper it seems like an easy task to just get out the product on a set schedule. But in development, it's not the same work day in and day out. Much the same within other development type jobs. We have targets, but unfortunately things present near or at crucial times that we need to address. It's the nature of the beast at this point.Since people have been questioning/wondering/complaining/bantzing about it I looked up a few things. Going through the updates and tallied up since they started their bi-monthly release schedule. Which again were implemented supposedly to have better bugtesting and more stable releases . Most bugfixes were 5-7 days post-release unless otherwise stated. Months stated assume the very end of the month.
March 2018 First/on time-bugfix
May 2018 missed a day-no bugfix
July 2018 on time-two bugfixes
September 2018 on time-bugfix
November 2018 on time-bugfix
January 2019 missed a week-bugfix
March 2019 missed 5 days-bugfix Start of "release windows"
"We’ll of course shoot for the first date in the release window but, if things come up for whatever reason, you can rest assured the build will be made available within the window. We will still update everyone if the release isn’t going to fall on the first date of the window for whatever reason. "
May 2019 ontime-bugfix
July 2019 missed 6 days-bugfix took 2 weeks
September 2019 missed 2 days-no bugfix
October 2019 on time-bugfix took 3 weeks
December 2019-Fuck you. BoB2.
February 2020-missed 6 days and counting, completely missed "release window", no update about first day not having the release, and no reason to believe a bugfix won't be needed.
So with the end of February being the 13th cycle, they've been on time 6/13 times total, 2/6 since release windows, and 2/13 releases did not have bugfixes as a follow up.
Digest this information however you wish and come to your own decisions.
Check the facts before you are saying something stupid next time.If you think its 2 months because you count from 6 to 6, then you need to ask yourself: if its exact 2 months, why dont they release builds on the 31th of the corresponding month of the cycle? why does it need to be dragged 1 week into the next month?
For example, this time they extend their "release window" by another 4 days, that i assume you think "dont add up"
They manipulate their release dates into compromising the next month for a reason, and its because that way its not "2 months of payment" due to how Patreon charges (they are NOT on a per-release Payment, like some other devs), otherwise, and i repeat, if an "ammount of days" was the issue, they could just release on the 31th, specially after they have vacations and breaks and all that bullshit, when they can start a cycle anew
Its called being a blind fanboy (not a fan), and it applies on all kinds of stuffs, games, artists, sports, etc
Huntress,Black Canary,Zatanna and Hawkgirl.I agree. But I think the priority is to work on the content of the main heroines in the game (Black Cannary and Huntress), But that's up to them. Other characters that you can't put in the cells are Zatanna and Hawkgirl. So I hope they are already working on these characters in that time frame, it would be great to see them in the next updates. Of course, I also want to see the others you mentioned, but we know Sunsetriders7, they will not give content all at once. By the end of the year some 6/8 characters may be complete (or more), let's keep hope.
they took time off and worked on other games, they didnt spend 4 months working on this. yes their time management and being on time are elon-musk level, but they havent been working on this for 4 monthsTranslation: Hey guys i know we had four months to do this, but we dont understand time management so we need to rush completion now. Start looking forward to half the content not working!
First off thanks for taking the time to "bant". As a developer yourself you would understand the complexities on trying to deliver a NEW update and product every 2 months. As well as a developer yourself you would easily be able to figure out how delaying a build does not provide us with extra money (we get money every month, even on months we don't release anything).I am about to give you very blunt and straight feedback.
The above statement is a perfect example of why others and I have dabbed on you here. Is that possible? Sure. Is that transparent? Not in the least. I'm a developer too. I know there are times when shit happens. I also know I can just say that, and with no other information there is no way to disprove it. Giving more specific information about what is going on would go a long way toward gaining goodwill and trust. There are certainly other developers following the thread and subscribed to your Patreon. If the delays are legitimate, you will have people that understand what is going on backing you up on the situation being unfortunate but unavoidable. That is infinitely preferable to natural conclusion of being lazy, incompetent, intentionally providing as little content as possible to maintain the monthly donations, etc.
The general tone of the post in another issue. It reads high on defensiveness and low on responsibility. This isn't some kind of "I didn't fuck that intern, it depends on what your definition of the word is is" PR bullshit. I have no problem with people being full of themselves when they are as good as they think they are. As the post you quoted demonstrates, your track record over the last two years has not only been questionable (being generous there), but is unquestionably trending downward. "Hey guys you got some sketches and assets that we made anyway in the process of making the game and took a few minutes to throw together, plus the game no one wanted" is not an endearing response in this situation.
I support several artists and cosplay thots on Patreon, but I do not support you despite having previously expressed a willingness to do so. Do you know why? Because they give me tiddies on time. The month is spent openly promoting what I will receive by having my card charged at the beginning of the next month, they make me want it, then deliver it when promised. Every single time. Your current release plan is the equivalent of "Gee guys, I dunno, I'll dress up in whatever I want and post it when I get enough money for a new round tuit. In like two months or so. Maybe. You know, if I don't lose me USB cable or something. Tee hee." Would I give that thot money? Answer: fuck no.
When I first stumbled upon the game I didn't understand the criticism that was thrown your way. The art was phenomenal (save the constant ctrl+C ctrl+V action on the nipples; don't even try to tell me they are the least bit different from each other). Facially the characters look exactly like they do in DCAU or Young Justice. The story was appropriate for a porn game. The grindy gameplay was simple, but brought back fond memories of Newgrounds games like Love Hina Dating Sim and Ganguro Girls from 15-18 years ago. After following the game for a few years I now get it completely. All trust is gone and it is upon you to reestablish it.
Genuinely take it under advisement or ignore it all at your discretion. Never let it be said that I bant for the sake of banting. Every barb originates from something I would like to see improve and would be open to financially supporting.
Every Space X program are 1 or 2 years late. It's still impressive what Elon Musk did but he's never on time.being on time are elon-musk level
