I want to apologize you feel that anything we have said is dishonest. And I would like to build on some context in your statements. In my opinion they are a mix of dishonesty from this thread, and also a mix of us not providing a public message to build on the factual reality.
Genuine question here... How the hell do people either in your patreon or this forum still fall for you people's bs anymore? After the increasingly dwindling lack of content across full on months on end
I just want to reiterate I'm just building context on your statement. You are stating that we are dishonest as there is increasingly dwindling lack of content across releases. We have internal metrics on scene count (our definition is BJ and all art is a scene), and that has been extremely consistent. However there are situations where certain builds (2.4.7 for instance) have accumulated amounts of art that bumps those numbers up. If you "assume" that all that art is developed in the current cycle then I would agree with your assumption of laziness. However we have stated for well over 5 years at this point on how content is created and why we have these bumps. So again no content isn't increasingly dwindling, there is just large spikes due to built up content being implemented.
, the refusal to go back and finish already ongoing events and character by character writing mini arcs and areas like Cells, Metabordello (which is literally only 30% complete given all the cell content girls that have almost nothing in the bordello side),
Yes there are mini arcs in the cells which we have acknowledge many times, and now with our move to Ren'py we can explore ways to clean those up. We have refused to ADD more characters directly to the cells, and complete those mini arcs in the cells due to the immense time requirement to complete one scene with a dozen costumes (including Lex's). I don't think we have ever refused to finish the bordello, we actually have said even in this thread bordello content is coming back, we just utilized it for streams.
Can you point to a comment from us that we refused bordello content. I would like to make sure it's factual.
the decision to move onto new events and then also leaving THOSE events incomplete too while having the audacity to call them completed despite clearly missing plenty of content and scenes for the girls in that (See Themiscyra event where lots of the characters don't even have basic presentation sex scenes... and you try and call that complete?),
I agree with you JadenYuki, Themyscira content is complete. But I believe your confusing what has been said in F95 from non-supporters as official statements. We have said Themyscira is plot complete, not content. We're planning to go back to Themyscira content later this year, and have said this numerous times outside this thread.
As for switching up content, SR7 enjoys doing this, and I think if there is something you enjoy doing you would do it as well. I believe in people enjoying what they do, and keeping that enjoyment going for a long time is what keeps creators engaged.
and then making excuses after excuses for their laziness and "burnout" to the point I WISH they'd actually be using Ai just to give SOME content at regular close intervals instead of dragging people on and one for multiple months on end with barely ant if at all content.
JadenYuki, you and another user have stated we make excuses constantly, and now I'm hearing that we have stated we're burntout. I asked the other user to point me to the comment, and they didn't reply.
I addressed the content statement from you. However dragging things on that aren't at regular intervals is something I addressed (from the same user I mentioned above). Prior to 2.4.7 our longes delay was a mere 11 days, after that we had a 14 day delay. That is over 10 years with days of delays. I can understand waiting for content and how it must seem like we're dragging things out, but we made promises regarding release windows, and I believe we have only a couple moments where we broke that promise in over 100+ releases.
The devs are either completely out of touch with reality or are aware of the practice of profiting off of dumb idiots who still pay for basically nothing in return (seriously, if any patreons are on here and see this, what even are yall paying these guys for? There's barely anything given in return!), the main artist behind this being a total lazy bum and excusing his mood swings and laziness with "oh woe is me... I'm burnout..." is just deplorable. I cannot for the life of me understand what people are even giving these guys money for. And don't even get me started on the Bend or Break 2 game that's basically a false promise and dead in the water at this point.
JadenYuki, you keep mentioning this burntout comment, can you please link me this I'm genuinely curious at this point where and when this came out.
I'm not even mad btw, despite how harsh and aggro the things I said above sound, I'm honestly more than anything just amazed... Bewildered, shocked, straight up dumbfounded even at how naive some people are and how many ungodly amount of chances the paypigs on Patreon are willing to give to a development team that's very clearly reaping all the money and barely delivering back on the promises or even the logical demands of what they set out to do.
In my opinion you're aware you're misrepresenting being mad here. I'm sorry we made you so angry, and how you're so angry with us you can't understand why people support us. Even going so far as insulting them, along with us. I hope this isn't another case of someone just wanting to make us their punching bag again, and that is fine if that makes you feel better. But our supporters are positive and good people who most likely aren't as angry as you. I just feel with messages such as yours there is nothing I could do or say to make you less angry, and coming in and shit kicking us is what you wanted to do. I just ask that you don't shit kick people who enjoy our things, they didn't create this stuff we did.
